Sewa updates Sharjah Executive Council on measures to handle power shortage

Sharjah: The Sharjah Electricity and Water Authority (Sewa) updated the Sharjah Executive Council on measures it has taken to handle the power crisis in some parts of the emirate.

Sewa told the council, which was chaired by Shaikh Abdullah Bin Salem Al Qasimi, Deputy Ruler of Sharjah and Deputy Chairman of the Executive Council, that these steps were adequate enough to bring the situation to normalcy.

"These measures have been instrumental in overcoming the crisis," Sewa said, noting that such technical faults are common at this time of the year due to steep rise in temperature and unprecedented increase in consumption of electricity.

Sewa affirmed that it would strive to ensure easy flow of power current to consumers who were urged to rationalise their consumption so as to ease overload and pressure on the energy network.
