Brief Power Outages Expected as EAC Continues Smart Meter Installation

The Electricity Authority of Cyprus (EAC) will continue the mass installation of smart meters in all districts of Cyprus – Nicosia, Limassol, Larnaca, Famagusta, and Paphos – throughout January. The installation will take place in specific areas within each city, as announced by the EAC. A temporary power outage, estimated not to exceed 20 minutes, will be required for the safe replacement of the meters. In Nicosia, the installation will be in Strovolos, in Limassol on both sides of Archbishop Leontios A' Avenue, in Larnaca in the coastal area of Larnaca-Livadia-Oroklini-Pyla, in Famagusta in Paralimni and Protaras, and in Paphos on both sides of Tomb of the Kings Avenue. Residents of these areas are advised to be prepared for the brief power interruptions.
