Full power supply has been restored to almost all consumers at 10.00 am, the Transmission System Operator announced in the morning.

According to the announcement, at 4.39 am there was disruption to the transmission grid. “The interconnection network with that of the occupied areas was interrupted and the generators of Dhekelia Power Station were disconnected due to the automatic operation of the protection system so as to prevent a permanent damage to equipment”, it said.

“This caused a black out to almost all consumers”.

“From the first time, the Transmission System Operator and EAC activated the emergency plan and restoration started at 6.00 am and continued gradually”.

The causes of the technical failure are investigated.

“The 4hour work stoppage of the Cyprus Airways pilots today is unnecessary and loss-making”, the Cyprus Chamber of Commerce and Industry said.
