Utility disruptions and storm damage in Menorca

Overview

Utility disruptions in Menorca began with reports of significant power outages and voltage instability. In Ciutadella, business leaders criticized the island’s aging electrical infrastructure following multiple outages in the Sa Colàrsega area. Additionally, residents in Sant Antoni experienced voltage drops that affected household appliances and solar panel systems.

Following these utility issues, the island faced a severe storm involving heavy wind and rain. Emergency services responded to approximately 70 incidents, including fallen trees, collapsed walls, and downed telephone poles. Damage was reported in residential complexes such as Es Canutells and Son Vitamina, as well as along the coastline in Sant Lluís and Binisafua. While weather conditions briefly improved, forecasts indicated a continued risk of storms and coastal surges.
