CAIRO: Egypt will assist the Palestinian Authority in restoring part of its electrical power supply, an Energy Ministry spokesman said on Wednesday. Egypt would deliver and install electrical transformers to a power station in Gaza, to replace transformers damaged by Israel during recent violence, ministry spokesman Aktham Aboul Ela told Reuters. The seven Egyptian-made electrical transformers are expected to restore 75 percent of the power station s total electrical output, the ministry said. While Egyptian companies would provide the equipment and engineers to oversee delivery and installation, Egypt would not be bankrolling the project. Aboul Ela said work was expected to take a month.
