Under the headline "Additional debt weighs on the electricity authority", the "electricity authority" (KIB-TEK) in the occupied territories, the Turkish Cypriot newspaper "Halkin Sesi" writes today that the "electricity authority", which already has debts of TL 1 billion, has once again been forced to seek a loan in order to be able to buy fuel.
As reported by the Press and Information Bureau, the newspaper writes that a cargo ship of a certain fuel transport company was delayed for hours yesterday in unloading the fuel that was to be transported to the power plant in the occupied village of Trabani (Kyrenia), because "KIB-TEK" was unable to pay the cost.
It is also reported that the power station has only enough fuel for 12 hours and the newspaper writes that in order to overcome the crisis, "Prime Minister" Faiz Suzhouoglu had to intervene.
According to the newspaper, the "ministry of finance" covered part of the cost of buying fuel by paying 7 million 400 thousand dollars, while the rest was covered by a loan from an overdraft.
"Prime Minister" Suzhouoglu said that the amount of debt increases every time a ship arrives to carry fuel and added that "at the moment they are in a deadlocked situation, as always."
Claiming that they are looking for new energy ways to address the problem with the fuel issue, Suzhouoglu explained that last week a presentation was made on a new fuel production model, which is currently being evaluated by the technical staff.
He added that it would be helpful if the evaluation results in a positive outcome and explained that this is a new technique that is being applied in Europe in specific countries and will be a new technique in energy, which will be used CNA
