The island councilor for Municipal Cooperation and Housing, Zebenzuí Chinea, announced that the Corporation allocates 38,000 euros to the legalization of medium voltage power lines located in Lomo Los Piños.

The fasniero Consistory will also be the administration in charge of executing said work.
Chinea assured that the intervention will constitute the legalization of the files of the works executed in 2009. The fact that the situation of the medium voltage line was not normalized «has, in turn, made it difficult for the electrification work of other areas of the municipality that were concluded in 2020 could not be legalized either, since it was necessary to regularize the first one. With the response of the municipal and island corporations, progress is being made in responding to “a historical demand” such as the supply of electricity to rural enclaves of Fasnia.
Its mayor, Damián Pérez, appreciates the willingness of the insular Institution to contribute the investment that will provide electricity not only to the Lomo Los Pinos area, but will also facilitate that, later, it reaches areas where the Cabildo has continued performing actions, such as the case of Sabina Alta-La Gloria, as well as the places Los Pérez, La Inés, Los Charcos, El Jurado and La Guerra, among others.
Damián Pérez reaffirms that the action is “very necessary”, because it benefits several rural areas “that need an improvement in the supply endowment to irrigate properly and have light in the tool rooms and warehouses. In short, to offer a better service to the population that is dedicated to agriculture in our municipality.
The work is part of the modification of the Municipal Cooperation Plan 2014-2017, which, like the one that covers from 2018 to 2021, included different actions planned to provide electricity to the high and low areas of the municipality of Fasnia.
In any case, the counselor stressed that the area of Municipal Cooperation has among its essential tasks to respond to this type of demands and actions that affect the development of municipalities, especially in areas that lack essential benefits. “We were clear that the light in the rural enclaves of Fasnia was a historical demand that had to be addressed as soon as possible,” he concluded.
