Continuing, though fortunately not continuous, electricity cuts in North Cyprus. Very short version is that the infrastructure needs upgrading.
Then there are two sides to the political story. The union, El-Sen, has been striking for over two weeks in protest against the government’s decision to extend a contract with private energy company AKSA without going to tender. Objections are obvious and extend to lack of green intentions. However lack of maintenance during strikes creating its own difficulties. Accusations of sabotage.
Drama last night as engineers from AKSA enter facilities with police assistance to effect repairs. Reports six generators now online [not an engineer, no assessment possible - usual union sympathies, but]. Clearly story to be continued. Happily we are cooking with gas.
