A fault at the Son Oms substation cut the electricity supply on Monday to 20,796 customers in Palma, all of them in that municipality, according to the distribution company Endesa, cited by the newspaper Última Hora.

Red Eléctrica, the system operator, told the same newspaper that the fault occurred at 11:10 and that by 11:28 all supply had been restored in a coordinated manner from its control centre.

The cause is not known. According to Última Hora, Red Eléctrica said that "the causes of the incident at the Son Oms substation have yet to be determined".

Developing story: these details come from a single published report, by Última Hora, which relays what Red Eléctrica and Endesa said. A public statement from either company or a second independent source is still needed, as is the origin of the fault.

This story stands on its own facts. The Post Apocalyptic does not link it to other incidents unless the sources demonstrate a connection.
