Launch of inspections by the Electricity Authority for illegal solar installations
May 20, 2026
The Electricity Authority warns of consequences for those who have installed illegal renewable energy units or made unauthorized extensions of existing legal systems. A nationwide inspection campaign starts in June 2026, targeting violations. Inspections will rely on network data and satellite images, often not requiring physical presence. Illegal installations cost law-abiding consumers, affecting the reliability of the electricity grid. Identifying these violations is expected to help stabilize production and reduce power cuts in the network.
