When you thought electricity prices were already high..

Posted on 05/04/2012 by admin

According to an article in today’s issue of Politis newspaper there will be an additional increase in the price of electricity because of yesterdays blackout. The article is based on a statement by the director general of EAC Stelios Stylianou who stated that an announcement will be made today regarding the reasons for the blackout. For the time being it is thought to have been caused by a disruption of the connection from the electricity network in the occupied areas. The final word regarding a possible increase will be decided by the Cyprus Energy Regulatory Authority in order to accommodate for the increased demand of the summer months by either operating all units at the Vasiliko power station, or reconnecting to the network of the occupied areas or buying new more expensive generators.

I am absolutely appalled to read the amounts being paid, what on earth justification for such a high price. Is this per quarter? I complain at paying £27 a month throughout the year for electricity but I do live on my own, I imagine these huge bills some of you quote are for businesses rather than ordinary domestic house bills?

Yes, and just like the Air traffic system and the speed cameras, we will pay a fortune, they will either never get installed or wont work when they are installed, but our bills will never go down. How much more can we handle?

We pay for the governments incompetence is rightwe can hardly manage with the bills that have been coming..now for it to go up more! what a bunch of idiots.

🙂

again,

more rises in our bills.

Did everyone had this blackout? I didn’t!

When I moved here my bill was 250 euros at a time, my next bill will be nearly double that. Come on Cyprus! Surely we can do better than this!

“have been caused by a disruption of the connection from the electricity network in the occupied areas”.
Yet, lets rape the poor Cypriots for that! They won’t complain….. Fuck the government! Fuck the Turks and their wannabe friends…….

Are businesses paying these increases? surely they can’t afford it or will put prices up which we then can’t afford – they will go out of business, the economy will spiral down and Cyprus will fail – this maybe a simple outlook but sometimes we have to get back to basics and look at reality – no doubt some govt economist will argue the toss!
Pay for what you use – work out the meter reading and don’t pay for govt idiocy.

So basically the people of Cyprus are paying more not to have electricity 🙁

Makes me sick, just payed 650 eu for the bill. What increase they are talking about?

People, switch as many electrical things off as possible, change your hairstyle so you won’t need the hairdryer every day, use gas to cook and don’t use your electric oven, don’t make toast, boil water on the gas hob, if these things are done collectively and in large numbers, then it will hurt THEM. We don’t want their stinking electricity!
