The municipalities of the region, the Generalitat, and the distributor E-distribution met on Tuesday, November 10, to discuss how to reduce supply cuts, especially in summer.
According to La Ciutat, the headquarters of the Conca de Barberà County Council hosted a working meeting on Tuesday, November 10, attended by mayors from the region, representatives from the Government of Catalonia, and technicians from the company managing the network. The aim was to review the cuts that have left several municipalities without power in recent months, particularly during the summer period.
The session was chaired by Jaume Fornés, president of the County Council. Alongside him were Xavier Villacampa, director of Territorial Services in Tarragona, and Cèsar Fusté, head of the Tarragona unit of E-distribution, accompanied by other technicians.
The company explained the causes of the incidents detected in the network and detailed the investments and actions underway to reinforce the infrastructure. The stated goal is to improve service quality and reduce the risk of new interruptions.
The mayors and councillors, for their part, expressed their concern over the damages these blackouts cause to residents and the economic fabric. They discussed the impacts on businesses, shops, agricultural operations, and public services, and demanded measures that would provide more reliability to the network.
The municipal and Generalitat representatives urged E-distribution to continue prioritising the necessary actions to make the network more resilient in the region. They also called for swift and direct communication with municipalities whenever an incident affects the area.
The meeting served to share information about the state of the network, learn about planned works in the short and medium term, and coordinate the administrations with the distributor. According to the County Council, follow-up will be conducted on the commitments made to defend the interests of the municipalities in the Conca de Barberà.
