The Electricity Authority of Cyprus (EAC) has responded to reports of damaged electrical appliances in Palaimetocho. According to the EAC, the fault occurred on December 5th, 2023, and was caused by tree branches becoming entangled in overhead cables due to strong winds, resulting in a short circuit. The EAC assures that the fault was not due to incorrect voltage or mishandling on their part. They have already informed their insurance company and an on-site inspection has been carried out. Affected consumers will be compensated, as the EAC has the necessary insurance coverage.
