EAC won’t cut power over festive season

The electricity supply to households will not be cut during the festive season for those who owe money to the electricity authority, it was announced on Tuesday.

The decision is valid for all households during the period between December 20 and January 17, 2018 and concerns mainly tariffs 01, 02 and 08.

Consumers who have been disconnected due to having a debt may apply for reconnection at any customer service centre of the EAC.

The application will be processed according to the ability of the debtor to enter a repayment plan.

The authority stated the decision is not valid for those who have been accused of illegally stealing power.

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.
