Current Status

An underground power cable was hit by a lightening strike during the recent storms on Tenerife. The telescopes and some webcams are out of action across the site at the moment.

We have been informed that although the power cable has now been repaired, there is still futher work needed to fully restore power to the site. We don't have an estimate on how long the work may take.


Planned Outages

None planned.
