Tenerife will receive mobile power plants to avoid power outages.

Mobile power plants will be installed in Tenerife to ensure a constant power supply and prevent outages. They will be located in two areas: the La Campaña industrial zone (near El Rosario) and Los Abrigos (near Granadilla de Abona). The Canary Islands government has already given the "green light" to these projects for their rapid implementation. This is part of a plan to ensure a constant electricity supply to the islands.

Alfonso Cabello, a government representative, explained that these power plants are a serious project that will help solve the problem of outdated facilities, some of which are over 30 years old. He emphasized that this is not just a repair, but a complete replacement of obsolete equipment.

In La Campaña, there will be five generators, each with a capacity of 1.8 megawatts, totaling 9 megawatts. They will be placed in special containers to reduce noise and connected to a substation that increases the voltage to 20 kilovolts.

This project is temporary and can be quickly installed and dismantled. The company Sampol will invest 5.5 million euros in it. Electricity will be diverted underground via a line approximately 200 meters long to the El Chorrillo substation, which belongs to Endesa.

In Los Abrigos, near Granadilla de Abona, there are plans to install eight generators, each with a capacity of 1.8 MW, totaling 14.8 MW. They will also be housed in soundproof containers and have substations that increase the voltage to 66 kV.

The company Disa will invest 25.1 million euros in this project. Electricity will be diverted via an underground line approximately 300 meters long to the Granadilla substation, which belongs to Red Eléctrica de España.

In both cases, the generators meet all emission standards and have a special cleaning system, according to the government.

These facilities will be located on industrial land. They will complement other measures already being implemented on the islands and will help respond to energy emergencies. This plan was developed by the Canary Islands government in conjunction with the Ministry of Ecological Transition.

Overall, the government plans to install ten such emergency power plants in the archipelago, on Tenerife, Gran Canaria, and Fuerteventura. This will help cover 90% of the electricity shortage reported by the system operator (Red Eléctrica). According to their estimates, we are short of 268 MW of capacity.
