Solar power in Cyprus benefits from over 3,300 hours of sunlight annually, giving it the highest potential in the European Union (EU). [1] At the end of 2025, Cyprus had 957 MW of solar power, of which 300 GWh was curtailed, and net metering ended. Self-consumption projects drove most of the solar installations added in Cyprus last year, a trend that industry. . Cyprus is wasting record levels of solar energy this year, even as rolling blackouts last week left homes and businesses without power during a heatwave. The Cyprus Transmission System Operator (TSOC) imposed the outages to protect the grid. By 2024, the proportion of renewable energy sources (RES) in the island's energy mix increased from 9% in 2018 to 23% (Figur e 1). Installed capacity almost. .
