Egyptian Minister of Electricity Hassan Younes said Sunday that Egyptian engineers started operating on trial a key Palestinian Gaza power plant after the completion of the first stage, the official news agency MENA reported.
Five new transformers were installed by Egyptian engineers to restore 75 percent of the power plant's total electrical output, Younes said, adding that the second stage would be put into operation in mid-November.
Most transformers of the Palestinian power plant were damaged during the recent conflicts between Palestinian militants and the Israeli forces, which left many Palestinians in Gaza living in darkness during the past several months.
With the completion of the second stage, electricity would feed all of Gaza and partial blackout in the Gaza Strip would finally be avoided, the minister added.
