*As summer temperatures rise coinciding with the holy month of Ramadan, several areas in Jeddah are experiencing power outages causing a great deal of inconvenience to its residents. Recently, a number of residents in Jeddah detained a vehicle of the Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) to protest against its negligence to restore power to Al-Adel district in the east of Jeddah where they suffered an outage from 2:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. in the first two days of Ramadan. The SEC told local newspapers that the high consumption of electricity had increased the pressure on low ampere cables and that it would send a team to restore electricity to the district. "We spent two days without electricity which was interrupted for more than seven hours and when we complained to the company to fix the technical problems to restore power, they did **t respond," Abu Abdullah, one of the residents of Al-Adel district said.
