[01] EAC - POWER - CAPACITY
Electricity authority in Cyprus is likely not to proceed with power
cuts on Monday, as a result of limited demand. Power capacity is also
expected to be boosted with 60MW from the American generators which
arrived last week in the framework of an agreement signed between the
Electricity Authority of Cyprus and US company Energy International
Ltd.
Director of the Transmission System Operator (TSO) Christos
Christodoulides told CNA that according to all the facts before us at
this moment, there is going to be an adequacy in power and therefore it
is unlikely to have any power cuts, unless we are faced with an
unexpected damage.
He added however that this would depend on the publics efforts to save
energy. Christodoulides said that the fact that the temperature has
slightly dropped, has also helped the situation. Furthermore, he said
that demand is also limited because Vasiliko Cement Works Public
Company has not yet started its operation after the summer holidays.
This is one of the islands biggest industries which absorbs
approximately 20MW daily.
