Union Criticism of EAC Over Delays in Electricity Supply Issues

August 6, 2025

The unions of the Electricity Authority of Cyprus (EAC) are critically addressing both the management of the Authority and the Ministry of Energy regarding delays in ensuring electricity supply, which is expected to worsen starting in 2024. They highlight the inability to import natural gas and the slow upgrades of electricity production stations. Additionally, they stress that all consumers should share the costs of new generators at the Dhekelia station to prevent the EAC from bearing the financial burden alone. The European Commission's refusal to support funding for EAC's needs is causing significant backlash. Urgent and effective solutions are deemed necessary.
