Blackout in the High Season: Who Pays the Price at Playa de Palma?

Answer

Why did the power outages hit Playa de Palma in mid-July, and who pays for the damages?

A surge of heat driven high electricity demand combined with aging transformers and lines caused outages along Playa de Palma, especially between Can Pastilla and Ballermann 6. Authorities and local business associations are examining responsibility and how damages will be compensated. An independent investigation and clear timelines for repairs are among the recommended steps.
