Experts believe that there are several factors that have led to the deterioration of electricity service in the southern governorates, including the deterioration of the electricity infrastructure, the basic facilities on which the electrical network depends are old and unable to meet the increasing demand for energy, and the sector suffers from great neglect in maintenance. , which makes the network vulnerable to constant malfunctions.
In addition, electricity companies suffer from a lack of sufficient funding to modernize equipment or build new stations. These financial challenges have made it difficult for them to meet the increasing demand for electricity, especially with the increasing population density.
The instability of the security situation also plays a role in exacerbating the electricity problem, as vital installations are sometimes exposed to vandalism or attacks. These attacks lead to severe damage to the infrastructure and exacerbate the suffering of citizens, who bear the consequences of such incidents.
There is also a severe shortage of fuel allocated to operate power plants, due to the current economic conditions that the country is suffering from. This shortage leads to a significant reduction in operating hours, which exacerbates the suffering of citizens and forces them to rely on alternative solutions.
