Power Outages in Alicante: These Neighbourhoods Will Be Without Supply on Tuesday and Wednesday

Two neighbourhoods in Alicante will be without electric supply this Tuesday and Wednesday, 5th and 6th May. The electric company Iberdrola has announced power cuts that may extend with a total blackout throughout the morning.

This is the case for the Cabo de la Huerta neighbourhood, at San Juan beach. The electric cuts will start at 9 a.m. this Tuesday, 6th May, with the expectation to restore the electric supply by 2 p.m.

It will be this Wednesday when the power cut will also affect the Babel Industrial Estate, with partial blackouts between 8:30 and 9 a.m., and 4:30 and 5 p.m. this Wednesday, 7th May.

The electric company will interrupt the supply during these times of the day to carry out maintenance work and improvements on the network.

During this time, several streets in Cabo de la Huerta, Alicante, will remain without power during these hours on Tuesday: Dorada Street, Nudo Street, Salpa Street, and Camino del Faro; affecting dozens of homes.

It is worth noting that the power cuts in this neighbourhood will occur during key hours of the day, as people leave home to go to work and educational centres.

In the Babel Industrial Estate neighbourhood, the streets affected by the power cuts on Wednesday are: Saturn Avenue and Camino Viejo de Elche.

Iberdrola explains what to do during a power cut. First, avoid using the lift during the scheduled hours or take the car out of the garage before the power supply interruption.

It is also important to consider meals, as the power cut may affect their preparation; likewise, do not open the doors of the freezer or fridge to maintain the cold chain.

The company insists on always having a flashlight with batteries at hand, informing neighbours and family to be alert during the power cut, and having warm clothing ready.
