According to E-Redes, "during these interventions, manoeuvres, connections, repairs or maintenance work on the infrastructure are carried out, always in a planned and controlled manner."

"Temporary and short-duration interruptions occur when all available power supply alternatives are exhausted, in order to ensure that the impact on customers is as minimal as possible," reads the E-Redes website.

The company also emphasises that, "for safety reasons, and in case of early restoration of the power supply or the need for technical tests, it is recommended that all installations be considered permanently energised."

"Scheduled maintenance work on the distribution network is carried out under articles 72 and 75 of the Regulation of Commercial Relations of the Electricity and Gas Sector," it adds.

In the same press release, E-Redes also states that "as a result of this commitment, and as reported by the CEER (Council of European Energy Regulators), E-Redes is considered a European benchmark in terms of carrying out scheduled interventions with minimal impact on supply."
