Tabourian Brings Bad News: More Power Cuts
Energy and Water Minister Alan Tabourian said Saturday that power cuts will increase.
Tabourian, in an interview with Future News TV late Saturday, did not say how much the increase would be.
He said the problem was due to "maintaining a constant level of productivity simultaneous with the growing demand and increasing consumption with the booming tourism season."
Tabourian ruled out a settlement to the electricity crisis before the summer of 2010.
He suggested declaring a "state of emergency" where medium-size generators would be used to produce extra electricity.
