EAC amends power cut schedule in eight areas

The Electricity Authority (EAC) announced today that  eight Limassol district villages would be affected by an increase in electricity demand this month forcing the EAC to move the eight communities from Zone 5 to Zone 2 on its power cut schedule.

The affected villages are Kapilio, Zoopigi, Kalo Chorio, Louvaras, Ayios Pavlos, Ayios Constantinos, Ayios Mamas and part of Trimiklini, the authority said.

The EAC said the decision was based on increased power demands at mountain resorts during the month of August and that the change would apply from tomorrow to August 21.

It said the move had been deemed necessary to help relieve the Trimiklini substation. Subscribers to the EAC’s power cut sms alert service were asked to re-register for the affected 10 day period changing their power cut zone from 5 to 2.
