The problems of the power not being turned back following the changeover could only be rectified if the person who had your key to let the builders and electricity company in checked the electricity !!  The builders did not turn the electric back on in all the properties, especially in the properties where it was obvious it was a keyholder.  It was up to the individual key holders to check that the electric was working before they locked the house back up.

As regards power cuts since that time, there have been a few but strangely seems to only affect certain properties at any one time.  Pretty similar to when we were on builders supply when you would only get a few houses on the street knocked off.  That should not really be the case now as we are off builders supply and all should run through the same connection !!!  Anyway, that's Spain I suppose.

You can use your English TV - Only problem we have been told about is the wiring in new property can be a bit off (something to do with wires running so they don't earth or something !!) so when you are running British items they can burn out quickly - if you get an electrician to check over your wiring at your main supply they should be able to straighten it therefore you won't burn out your British items.  Obviously for toasters, kettles, hairdryers you wouldn't care too much if they burned out but for a TV you probably would !!!

Hope this is of assistance.
