Benidorm's tower stock concentrates demand on shared high-rise electrical infrastructure — risers, lift power, and common-area systems — that requires specialist crews. Many older towers carry wiring below current REBT standards, and the seasonal occupancy surge stresses circuits; GVA boletines are required after installation work.
