Issues with Electricity Supply in Cyprus
July 22, 2026
Cyprus is facing serious issues with its electricity system, experiencing a lack of power supply that has been evident for the past few years. Despite warnings from experts and assurances from the Electricity Transmission Operator, power outages remain frequent, especially during the summer months. Failures in power generation units and reliance on natural gas and renewable energy sources exacerbate the situation. Renewable energy production is insufficient when sunlight hours end. Prospects for improvement appear uncertain, as temperatures remain high.
