EAC operating limited customer service in Nicosia, Larnaca and Limassol

By Stelios Orphanides

The Electricity Authority of Cyprus said that its customer service outlets in Nicosia, Strovolos and Larnaca will open for service as of 11:30 a.m. while those in the Limassol and Famagusta districts would open at 12.15 and remain open until 13:45 p.m.

The outlets in Paphos, Polis, Platres and Kakopetria will remain closed because of the travel distance, the company said in an emailed statement on Monday. “The public is requested to proceed to the outlets only in emergencies,” EAC said.

Customer service outlets remained shut on Monday morning as workers at the state-owned power producer assembled to discuss further action to protest the government’s intention to break up the company into two separate corporations, one in charge of production and supply and another in charge of distribution.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
