Agreement with Iberdrola to improve the electricity supply service in Poble Nou de Benitachell.

Agreement between Poble Nou de Benitachell and Iberdrola to improve the electricity supply service in the town.

The mayor of Benitachell and the Head of Iberdrola Distribution in Alicante have signed a cooperation agreement to improve the town’s electrical infrastructure.

The project involves the installation of new underground medium voltage cabling to connect the six transformer stations in the central part of town. This will improve the quality of electricity supply since these transformers will thus be connected to two medium voltage lines, which will mean a more reliable service and faster re-establishment of supply should any incident occur in any of the transformers.  

The works are scheduled to begin at the beginning of 2009 and it is thought that they will take two months to complete. The works will be financed by Iberdrola and the cost of drafting the technical project will be met by the Town Council.

We believe that this news is of interest for the residents on the Cumbre del Sol development, who have been affected by power cuts on occasion and who will benefit from these improvement works.
