The Electricity Authority of Cyprus started installing smart meters across multiple regions, requiring temporary power interruptions of about 20 minutes during each upgrade. Deployment is part of a broader effort to modernise the electricity network and improve energy consumption monitoring.
Upgrading The Nation’s Energy Grid
Installations in Nicosia cover residential areas east of Yiannos Kranidiotis Avenue, from Ayios Georgios Street to Alexander The Great Avenue. Additional works extend along Ayios Georgios and Demetris Stavrou Avenues in Latsia. These upgrades aim to improve grid reliability and enable more accurate measurement of electricity usage. Focus remains on areas with high residential demand.

Targeted Rollouts In Key Urban Centers
Works extend along both sides of the Nicosia–Limassol motorway, from Rizokarpaso Street and Eleftherios Venizelos Street to the Dhali industrial area. Areas including Helioupolis, Kallithea and the municipality of Tseri are included in the rollout. Coverage across these zones expands access to smart metering in densely populated corridors. This approach supports broader network integration.
Broadening The Network In Limassol And Larnaca
Installations in Limassol are concentrated within areas bounded by October 28th Avenue and Archbishop Makarios III Avenue, including Grivas Digenis, Gladstone and Anexartisia streets. In Larnaca, the rollout includes the Oroklini area. Expansion across these locations increases the share of households connected to the upgraded system. Deployment follows a phased schedule.
Expanding Benefits Across Famagusta And Paphos
Dherynia in the Famagusta district is included in the rollout, with installations planned in central areas and along Archbishop Makarios III and Stadiou Avenues. In Paphos, works cover areas in Yeroskipou between Archbishop Makarios III Avenue and Evagoras Pallikarides Street. Further expansion across districts supports nationwide coverage of smart meters. Implementation will depend on installation timelines and rollout progress.
