Electricity Supply in Cyprus: Risks and Challenges
July 14, 2026
The electricity supply situation in Cyprus is concerning, with coverage teetering on the edge. Authorities warn that the highest risks for a blackout occur from late afternoon to evening, when demand is high but production is low. The total electricity generation capacity reaches 2480 MW under ideal conditions, but available units do not operate continuously. Recent demand has been fluctuating around 1150-1300 MW, raising questions about the safety of the network. The risk of a blackout is most pronounced between 6 PM and 10 PM.
