LAST month was one of the hottest Septembers for many years and the Balearic power grid felt the strain.
The second largest surge in demand of the year was experienced last month, bucking the trend after three consecutive months of a steady drop in electricity consumption. Power company Gesa Endesa reported yesterday that the demand for electricity last month shot up by 12.9 percent in Majorca alone. In Minorca, there was a surge of 11 percent and in the neighbouring islands of Ibiza and Formentera 12.2 percent.
