Cyprus’ Electricity Demand Fully Met Without Power Outages

Cyprus’ electricity demand was fully met on Tuesday evening, with no power outages reported. The southern part of the island did not require assistance from the north. According to a spokesperson for the Transmission System Operator (TSO), electricity production was sufficient, and no incidents occurred.

The peak electricity demand was recorded at 7:30 PM, reaching 1,083 megawatts. At that time, Cyprus generated 1,058 megawatts using conventional energy sources, while the remaining demand was covered by renewable energy. The island’s maximum electricity generation capacity stands at 1,106 megawatts.

TSO forecasts that on Wednesday evening, electricity demand will reach 1,055 megawatts. This estimate may decrease if temperatures are higher than expected. As long as weather conditions remain stable, no supply issues are anticipated.

Earlier this week, an unusual cold snap led to record electricity consumption on Monday evening, prompting the government to consider preventive measures. Last week, due to high demand, Cyprus had to seek assistance from Turkish Cypriots, who provided electricity from the north to the south free of charge.
