The Security and Emergency Consortium has removed the most dangerous parts of the wind turbine that fell on the power line in Montaña Mina. The incident has left several towns in Lanzarote without electricity throughout the morning this Tuesday.

The firefighters have already carried out the pertinent work to condition the place: remove the blades, cut them to the necessary measurements and pile them in a safe area due to the danger they posed, so that they can be transported later.

In addition, Endesa has reported that the power supply "will be restored" in two hours in the towns affected by the cuts. For the moment, the voltage of the fallen lines has been restored with two light generators provided by the electricity company.
