Electricity supply disruption leaves occupied areas in darkness

EAC cut off the electric power supply because of "fuel shortage"

Newsroom

In a recent development, several regions within the occupied territories are currently facing power outages due to a disruption in the electricity supply originating from the Electricity Authority of Cyprus (EAC), according to reports in the local Turkish-Cypriot newspapers.

The situation, as reported by the "Avroupa (Europe)" newspaper, has led to a significant interruption in the flow of electric power from EAC to these occupied areas, causing them to be plunged into darkness. The lack of electricity has resulted in inconvenience and difficulties for residents who rely on power for various daily activities.

The "Halkin Sesi (Voice of the People)" newspaper has provided additional insight into the matter. The power outages, it states, have persisted not only over the past day but have extended into the present day as well. EAC, the primary provider of approximately 70 MW of energy to the occupied territories, made the decision to halt the power supply due to pressing internal energy requirements. This decision has further exacerbated the ongoing power shortage in these regions.

As a result of this disruption, the occupied areas have been left without electricity, rendering homes, businesses, and public spaces in complete darkness. The interruption was a consequence of the Electricity Authority of Cyprus cutting off the electric power supply, citing a "fuel shortage" as the reason for the abrupt halt, according to a report by the "Geni Duzen (New Order)" newspaper.

Local authorities and concerned organizations are actively working to address the situation and restore power to the affected regions. Efforts are being made to assess the energy requirements, explore alternative solutions, and ensure that essential services can continue without further interruption.

Residents and businesses within the affected areas are urged to remain patient while authorities strive to resolve the electricity supply issue promptly. In the meantime, individuals are advised to take necessary precautions and consider contingency plans for dealing with the ongoing power outages.

This recent incident sheds light on the critical importance of a stable and reliable electricity supply, highlighting the challenges that arise when disruptions occur in such services. Authorities are expected to work towards a resolution to ensure that residents can regain access to electricity and normalcy in their daily lives.
