Concerns Over Seismic Activity at Dehesa Power Station
February 9, 2026
The geological stability of the Dehesa Power Station raises concerns, as the area is classified in the highest seismic risk zone of Cyprus. The Geological Survey Department reports 281 earthquakes in the last seven years near the station, with 35 exceeding 3 on the Richter scale. Despite the seismic activity, authorities do not oppose the station's upgrade. The station is located near the coastline, posing a potential tsunami risk. The Electricity Authority of Cyprus plans a modernization with an investment of 180 million euros.
