Through the head of the Energy and Environment Sector of the C.E. of AKEL, Christina Nicolaou says that after almost 10 years of government the Anastasiades - DISY government[/B], instead of taking responsibility for the callousness it has shown on energy issues, is trying to pass the blame on to the workers of AEK.
"AHK is a public body and the board members are appointed by the government itself which is responsible for its policies. The European Commission itself in a report lists the responsibilities that the government bears for the reduced development of RES in our country compared to the rest of the EU."
It asks the government for the umpteenth time, it says, to take measures to address the crisis in the energy sector. "The absence of a comprehensive energy plan and the delay in the arrival of gas weighs on the shoulders of the government and DISY. We are not at five minutes to go but at five minutes to go."
He added that AKEL has been putting forward positions and proposals to the President of the Republic and the Minister of Energy since last year in order to get out of the energy impasse. For months, it says, we have been asking the government to take measures to enable AHK to fulfil its role.
"The immediate call for tenders for renewable energy sources and storage systems, without exclusion of participation for AHK, will have an immediate impact on consumers as it will reduce electricity costs and at the same time secure the future of the organisation."
He concludes by stating that the government cannot continue to stand idly by, it has an obligation to act immediately.
