Planning for New Gas Turbines Procurement for Dhekelia
March 7, 2025
Energy Minister George Papageorgiou announced that the Cypriot government will proceed with the purchase of new gas turbines for the Dhekelia station, despite the EU's reluctance to approve covering the costs from consumers. The new generators will enhance electricity production and ensure system adequacy. The minister emphasized that the installation cost is comparatively lower than the consequences of a potential blackout. The processes for procurement and installation are advancing with clear directives from the President.
