Unelco to invest 384 Million Euros in the Canaries
In the "closing the barn door after the horse has bolted" department (that is after the severe damages caused to electrical installations that were reported to be in poor states of maintenance, leaving thousands without power for a week after Tropical Storm Delta), electricity company UNELCO ENDESA announce that they are to invest a total of 384 million Euros (c. £250M) in the Canaries this year, "an ambitious budget that has the objective to increase the necessary electrical infrastructure to cover the demand over the next few years and to continue improving the quality of the supply and service to their clients".
(We ought to be grateful and that is exactly what they will expect us to be, even when they give us Hobson's Choice of yet more unsightly, potentially dangerous, storm vulnerable, overhead hanging power lines.)
