Upcoming Scheduled Power Outage in Cyprus
In a recent announcement by the Electricity Authority of Cyprus (EAC), residents and businesses across several regions have been informed of an impending power outage. The scheduled interruption is set to occur on Friday and will last from 9am to 10am. This temporary inconvenience is part of a strategic plan to conduct necessary maintenance on the island’s high voltage network.
The areas poised to experience the blackout include Parekklisia Pyrgos, Prasteio Kellakiou, Kellaki, Eptagonia, Melini, Akapnou, Arakapas, Dierona, Sanida, Klavari, Vikla, Ora, Odu, Ayioi Vavatsinias, Profitis Elias, and Sykopetra. The EAC has made it clear that while the power outage is expected to last for an hour, there is a possibility that power could be restored earlier. As a precaution, consumers are advised to treat their electrical installations as if they are live during the entire period to avoid any potential issues when the power returns.
Understanding the potential disruption such outages can cause, the EAC has extended its apologies to those who will be affected. However, they emphasize that this scheduled work is essential for the upkeep and reliability of the electrical infrastructure. The authority is urging the public to plan accordingly to minimize any adverse effects that may arise from the temporary loss of power.
Businesses and individuals in the affected areas are encouraged to make necessary preparations, such as backing up data and securing backup power sources if needed. The EAC’s proactive communication aims to ensure that everyone has ample time to prepare for this brief interruption in their daily routines and operations.
For further updates and information, customers can contact the Electricity Authority of Cyprus or visit their official website. The EAC remains committed to providing reliable service and thanks the public for their understanding as they perform these critical maintenance operations.
