Electricity firm bosses receive just 310 compensation claims but promise to cut next year's bills after Balearic blackout

PALMA
ANGRY consumers have hit electricity company Gesa with a total of just 310 claims for compensation following last week's Balearic blackout.
More than 100 users forwarded their claims on Friday immediately after Thursday's power cuts and another 200 demands were received by the firm yesterday.

Over one million users were affected by the cuts caused by a defect at Alcudia's Es Murterar power station.
However, bosses at Gesa were unable to say exactly how much the claims were worth or how the company would be reimbursing customers badly affected by the cuts, which lasted up to seven hours.
