Benahavís wildfire put Costa del Sol power supply at risk
The western Costa del Sol depends on a single power substation, which was threatened by the Benahavís wildfire in September, raising the risk of a coastwide blackout.
The western Costa del Sol depends on a single power substation, and it came under threat during the Benahavís wildfire in September, according to The Olive Press.
The newspaper reports that the blaze put the electricity supply along the entire western coast at risk of a blackout.
Benahavís is a mountain municipality inland from Marbella and Estepona. The report points to how exposed the area’s power network is when so many communities rely on one facility.
Manuel Larrasa, Andalucía’s commissioner for electrification, is cited in the report.
