However, as a result of the Fabien depression we have thousands of records of incidents, especially in Vila Real and Viseu. The intense rain and the strong gusts of wind, in some areas of 150km/h, caused enormous damage to the electrical network which, especially in some places, was still fragile. At the moment, there are 66 medium voltage lines out of service and 3 of high voltage.
It should be noted that in many riverside areas, for safety reasons, exceptional measures are being taken to turn off transformer stations, which end up affecting the populations in the vicinity.
The hundreds of EDP Distribuição teams continue to be strongly mobilised, despite the enormous accessibility difficulties resulting from bad weather and various floods.
The operating device will be kept active to ensure that the supply of energy is assured to the entire population.
If you come across a fallen line or pole, report it to us.
We'll correct the anomaly as soon as possible.
Do not approach, respect the safety distances.
