The Gaza Strip Electricity Company on Saturday morning re-operated two main generators at Gaza’s sole power plant following the entry of Egyptian fuel supplies into the besieged enclave.
The Company announced that based on the current distribution schedule electricity will be provided for 4 hours followed by 16 hours of blackout.
The Company said in a statement that the amount of electricity currently available is 115 MWs including 70 MWs provided by the Israeli lines and 45 MWs generated by Gaza’s power plant and added that the Egyptian lines are still broken.
The Gaza Strip needs about 600 MWs of electricity a day and for more than 11 years people there have been suffering from a suffocating power crisis that has affected all aspects of life.
