On the topic of Pensions and Electricity

Some TC villages which are close to the Green Line aren't even connected to the North's Electricity grid, an example is Pergamos in the Famagusta region. KIB-TEK ( TC Electricity Authority), still charges for the Electricity they do not provide. "Teknecik" the power station in the North was only constructed fairly recently, in the early 90's if I remember correctly.

It was actually only before 1983 that that the RoC supplied electricity to TRNC on a regular basis.

As for pensions, TC's who had PAID into the social security scheme pre 74 do receive payments on a pro-rata basis.

Reh VW, I don't know where you pulled the year 1983 outt of that article, as it explicitly states that Teknecik was built in 1994 and was only running at full capacity from 1996 onwards.

From 1983 to 1996 Kib Tek gradually increased output until it was 100% generation independant of RoC supply.

they only had one turbine that ran for half an hour a day in 1982. By 1988 KIB-TEK could only provide 15% of he demand. Stop kidding yourself will ya!

VWs insistence that somehow the north of Cyprus should be self sufficient powerwise brings up a problems which will surface in the future, after the political problem is settled.

Under EU regulations power generation must be liberalised and soon. In an open market, running under EU rules all consumers will be given a choice where to buy their power. Whether we like it or not, the most efficient operators are those supplying the largest urban areas- ie Limassol, Nicosia and Larnaca, ie based in the south and they most likely offer lower cost per kwh. It looks like lberalisation and strateigic self sufficiency do not go together.

When renewables start producing power, the EU mandates that the grid operators should buy the electricity produced at subsidised rates. Which of the power companies is likely to have the grid net and financial capability to do this?

A post settlement situation is not at all simple, is it!

They have had a few problems VW, mainly because their generators are fully stretched most of the time, see Frank and Joan January 2006: -

Earlier this week one of the big turbines at the Teknecik power station blew up and this has caused major problems throughout the north. It appears that there are only two of these large turbines at the power station and that they should be maintained at 60,000 hours. Both have been running for 130,000 hours at 98% capacity, so one finally said “enough is enough”. Apparently proper maintenance of these units will take 3 months for each turbine and until the new power source is completed, due at the end of 2006, we can expect more of the same.

Power cuts have been around 5 to 6 hours until yesterday when we were in fact off for a total of 18 hours. Our generator has been a real boon to us, if only to keep freezers and running and lights in the evenings, but yesterday at 5.30 p.m. it decided to pack up also. So there we were, roaring log fire and candles and I have to say that the repair was completed by 10.30 a.m. today, with a little reminder to me about regular service. Oops!

The South has come up trumps in this situation and is supplying a daily load of electric on to our grid.

In detail, the Cyprus Republic has spent :
• 22.62 million for health care for Turkey, "Cyprus".
• 117.9 million for social services
• 1,22 million for child benefit and student sponsorship
• 9,25 million for agricultural factors
• 4,35 million for education
• 4,22 million for the provision of electricity to the occupied
• 0.26 million for telecommunications
• 7,46 million maintenance Muslim monuments and houses, department of Turkish language in the RIK and maintaining roadblocks.

This COULD have been an interesting thread, but with a Greek nationalist source it’s not going anywhere…

Now you're concerned as to who has outed such unacceptable behaviour? Of course, let the crime continue because you don't like the source which highlighted it. Double standards again GR! Wasn't it you criticising the Diaspora for not contributing as Taxpayers to the RoC? How are you going to tempt them, now, with such misspending? Should it have remained hidden?

I can’t accept any figures as credible evidence from a Greek nationalist junk site. He may want to post from a decent place… nobody’s holding his hand.

They are real Cypriots, Greeks.......
