I am tending towards that view and as this then becomes an improvement I think I am entiled to decline to participate on the back of the cost being more than 3 months community fees as per Horizontal Law rules

I really dont need extra capacity as I only heat water and run a small fan sometimes

Be interesting to see how that ploy plays out anyway!

Thanks all for your input

Thanks for all the interest and responses guys but a lot of them are pitching at he wrong problem

I have no intention of doing anyhting with my installation although some on the complex have a problem becaus ethey are overloading I do  not

The issue is entirely the other (upstream) side of the meter where there is a junction box.The meters are the new 'online reading' type which send readings back automatically and as I understand it also have an ICP (INTERUPTOR CONTROLA POTENCIA) feature which can limit how much power you can draw down to that which you currently pay for

But I digress - the problem is in the junction box where the connection is being made to the main site in-feeds for each group of meters.

These connections are old and need replacing but I dont think I should have to pay for this

The Administrator (and President) are pretty useless when it comes to this sort of thing. They just fold and pay whatever anybody asks

Which is why I'm asking the question

The question of contracted power is interesting as nobody seems to realise they will also be liable for an increased standing charge once the work is done

This again begs the question - what do you pay your standing charge for unless its the supply line upstream of the meter?

Hi and thanks for the welcome

I'm not trying to impose Uk regs on Spain.

I'm just trying to find out if there is the same demaraction between supplier and consumer responsibities when it comes to the supply line.

It would appear sensible to have th emeter as the cross over point wouldn't it, regardless of the country?

Of course with Spain it could be anything!

Hi all, 

I've just joined this community after searching online for some advice about a situation in our Community in Los Cristianos and am looking for some advice please.

Long story short the electrical connections from the mains on the other (Upstream)side of our meter are in need of some renewal as they dont meet the needs of certain owners that have installed A/C, Electric cookers etc etc and have failed recently in some apartments (there are 80 total )

In the UK its considered to be the responsibility of the Electricity Supply company (Endesa) to make repairs up to your meter and yours afterwards (downstream). Our Administartors (prompted by some owners with a problem) consider that it is something the Community should pay for and have approved a derama via an EGM.

I have not found out how many attended this EGM but understand it was a 'majority' decision to go ahead.

I disagree strongly with the decision as I think we should be hiring a solicitor to pursue Endesa to do the work in the first instance.

Does anyone have any similar experience of how these things work in Spain please?

Any help advice appreciated

Mike
