A few minutes after 5:00 p.m. the electricity supply on the Island has been completely recovered. Something happened more than 7 hours after a failure in a generation group at the Granadilla de Abona thermal power plant caused the second energy zero that the Island has suffered in less than a year.
At 4:44 pm, island time, we completed the replacement of 100% of the electricity supply of the island of #Tenerife. After the first investigations, it is confirmed that the cause of the incident is due to a fault in the generation. We are sorry for the inconvenience for what happened.
