A serious power grid malfunction caused a power outage in various areas of Cyprus that lasted about an hour, today, Friday, at 10:40 a.m., according to a statement released by the EAC. It emphasized that the problem was caused by a temporary loss of telecommunications connections between the large photovoltaic parks and the Electricity Distribution Control Center. As a result, it became impossible to monitor the photovoltaic parks, which caused a disruption in the electrical grid.
The EAC apologizes to the public for the disruption caused and thanks consumers for their understanding and cooperation.
