ARK News… In conjunction with the escalating crisis of water cuts, citizens in the city of Hasakah, in Syrian Kurdistan, suffer from continuous power outages and high prices of amperes.
On Monday, July 10, 2023, one of the citizens told ARK that the regular electricity is almost completely cut off from the city, and that the regular electricity is connected, and it only comes for one hour.
He added that the regular electricity network in Al-Hasakah is exposed to frequent cases of cable theft inside the city, which makes electricity completely cut off from some neighborhoods for about a month or more.
He continued that the residents of Al-Hasakah depend mainly on drawing electricity from generators in the neighborhoods. Prices are as follows:
8 hours of operation. The price of one ampere is (9) thousand Syrian pounds.
12 hours of operation. The price of one ampere is (14) thousand SP
24 hours of operation. The price of one ampere is (29) thousand SP.
However, generator owners do not abide by operating hours, according to the source.
He explained that few of the residents of the city of Hasakah went to install a solar energy system to supply the needs of their homes with electricity due to the high prices compared to the income of citizens.
