John, you may not know this but Naturgy is not government owned and Deportes is a government organization. Sad Deportes is not privately owned. Always room for improvement on transmission lines and pole to house lines.

Just pointing out the “want to have” like sports facilities and the “need to have” like good drinking water.  The second should always have priority but, sadly, doesn’t.  Naturgy is another thing altogether, the line maintenance has been woefully lacking in the past, they are just trying to improve now but it will take years.
