The Electricity Authority of Cyprus (EAC) and US company Energy International Ltd signed a contract in Nicosia for the supply, installation, operation and maintenance of temporary production units.

The contract concerns production units of a total capacity of 95 MW, which are expected to arrive in Cyprus and be operational by the end of August.

On behalf of the EAC, the contract was signed by Director General Stelios Stylianou and, on behalf of Energy International Inc, by Business Development Manager Javier Barahona.

EAC main power station at Vassilikos was knocked down when a blast occurred on July 11th, 2011, in containers, full of munitions, which Cyprus had confiscated from “Monchegorsk“, a vessel sailing from Iran to Syria in 2009. Nicosia was acting in accordance with UN sanctions against Teheran.
