The Canary Islands face long-term energy supply problems. The systems are isolated. Electrical connections exist only between Lanzarote and Fuerteventura. New connections link La Gomera and Tenerife. In July 2023, La Gomera lost power for nearly 40 hours due to a failure at the sole generation plant. The current risky situation also affects Gran Canaria. This prompted the government to support the controversial power ship project as a temporary solution.
