The excavator came into contact with a cable of the aforementioned medium voltage line, immediately causing the interruption of the supply in sectors of the tourist urbanization of Costa Teguise, according to the explanation of the electricity company Unelco. The events occurred at 8:59 in the morning and the total replacement of the fault by the Unelco Endesa Incident Services was carried out at 11:06, so the power cut lasted up to two hours in some areas.
For these events, Unelco Endesa has regretted these unfortunate circumstances caused by third parties and has thanked "the understanding of the customers affected by these incidents beyond our control".
