Power Outages Affect Areas in Nicosia: Traffic Lights Down

Areas in Nicosia experienced power outages on Friday due to a fault in the EAC (Electricity Authority of Cyprus). Supply has been restored through alternative feeds, but the EAC is urging residents to limit energy consumption until midnight due to low temperatures and increased demand. EAC crews are working to fully restore power. The affected areas are Engomi, Agios Domettios, Archangelos, Acropolis, part of Strovolos and Lakatamia. Separately, a fault was caused by a contractor cutting an EAC cable. Furthermore, due to the power outage, traffic lights are not working in the Strovolos area, and the Police are urging drivers to be particularly careful.
