Answer

Why do power lines make fallen tree cases in Mallorca more complicated?

Once power lines are involved, a fallen tree in Mallorca becomes a public safety issue rather than just a property problem. Grid operators usually need the area made safe before they can work, which can delay the removal if the tree is unstable or still in the way. That is one reason some storm cases take much longer than expected.
