AT A GLANCE

Interruptions were reported in parts of eight Málaga municipalities on Sunday, November 1.
A separate outage began in Santa Rosalía-Maqueda at about 9pm on October 31; 1,141 customers were initially listed as affected.
The 11am Sunday restoration estimate was missed, and residents were still reporting problems afterward.
The cause had not been officially confirmed; residents can check e-distribución’s outage map or call 900 878 212.

WHY IT MATTERSThe reported cuts affected parts of eight municipalities, but were separate local faults rather than one province-wide blackout. The Campanillas outage lasted beyond its initial estimated restoration time.

Power interruptions were reported on Sunday, November 1, in parts of Málaga city, Alhaurín de la Torre, Alhaurín el Grande, Marbella, Vélez-Málaga, Nerja, Benamargosa and Benamocarra. The incidents affected separate sections of the local distribution network; the report does not indicate that every resident in those municipalities lost power.

A separate, longer outage began at about 9pm on Saturday in Santa Rosalía-Maqueda, in Málaga city’s Campanillas district. Euro Weekly News said distributor records initially listed 1,141 customers as affected. An estimated restoration time of 11am on Sunday was given, but residents were still reporting problems after that deadline.
