After days of complete power outage in Mahrousa Lahj, electricity supplies finally returned to homes and institutions after supplying fuel to the Abbas station, which contributed to gradually returning life to normal in the region. The power outage for days caused great suffering to citizens, as they faced difficulty during the outage, in addition to the disruption of many basic activities and services.
The power outage crisis was caused by the running out of fuel at the Abbas station, which is considered the primary power station in Lahj. The lack of fuel led to the station stopping completely, causing the entire governorate to plunge into darkness, and causing the people to live difficult days without electricity, which increased the burden on them in their daily lives.
With the return of electricity, citizens breathed a sigh of relief, and vital services that depend mainly on electricity were restored to them, including health facilities that had been severely affected during the outage. Shop owners and commercial establishments also regained their activity, after many goods were damaged due to the lack of necessary refrigeration.
Citizens hope that this crisis will motivate the concerned authorities to search for sustainable solutions that guarantee the stability of the electricity supply, so that this outage will not be repeated in the future. The people demand that clear plans be drawn up to ensure the regular provision of fuel to the Abbas station and other stations, and the provision of additional energy alternatives that contribute to avoiding emergency crises that cast a shadow on everyone’s lives.
