Records by technology

Counts records, not generation share · coverage & dates

Reported capacity is the rated size of the listed installations, not electricity being produced now. Source dates and coverage differ, so newer facilities may be absent and historical records may remain.

How electricity works in Cyprus

Wholesale marketCompetitive generation, regulated retail

Cyprus is an isolated island grid dominated by oil-fired plants, with fast-growing solar. A competitive wholesale market was launched to open generation to new suppliers.

Who regulates

  • CERAEnergy regulator

Who controls the grid

The Transmission System Operator of Cyprus dispatches the island grid; the state-owned Electricity Authority of Cyprus owns the networks.

Markets & power exchanges

Regional grid

Not part of a larger synchronous grid or regional power pool.

What does “Wholesale market” mean?

Power plants compete to sell electricity in a wholesale market or pool, dispatched by a system operator. Most consumers still buy from a regulated distribution company at approved tariffs.
