The Electricity Authority of Cyprus has officially announced the continuation of its large-scale program to install smart electricity meters. Throughout May 2026, works will be carried out simultaneously across all districts of Cyprus. This is one of the key stages in the modernization of the country’s energy system, enabling both residents and businesses to better monitor consumption and reduce energy costs.
Where installations will take place
In Nicosia, new smart meters will be installed in Engomi and Agios Dometios. The works will affect areas on both sides of Griva Digeni Avenue. Installations will also take place in zones between Iroon Avenue and the streets of Agios Prokopios, Archangelos, Lefkothea, and Elias Papakyriakou. Additional works are planned in areas between Griva Digeni and Kyriakos Matsis Avenues, as well as between Griva Digeni and Louki Akrita. In Dali, the program will cover the entire Idalion municipality and the community of Potamia.
In Limassol, new meters will be installed in areas between Misiaouli and Kavazoglou Avenues and Nikolaos Pattichis Avenue, as well as on both sides of Archbishop Makarios III Avenue. Additional works will take place between Nikolaos Pattichis and Makarios III Avenues, including surrounding streets up to the Polemidia roundabout.
In Larnaca, installations will cover the area between Spyros Kyprianou Avenue and Archbishop Kyprianou Avenue — from Makarios Avenue to Archimandrite Makarios Machairiotis Avenue.
In the free areas of Famagusta District, the program will fully cover the municipality of Ayia Napa. In Paphos, new meters will be installed throughout the Chloraka municipality.
Why the replacement is necessary and how long it will take
According to the Electricity Authority of Cyprus, replacing old meters is essential to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the entire system. Modern smart meters allow remote readings, faster detection of faults, and more accurate load distribution. The only inconvenience for residents will be a temporary power outage during installation, which will last no more than 20 minutes. Technicians aim to keep interruptions as short as possible.
The Authority apologizes for any inconvenience and thanks citizens for their understanding. Residents in the affected areas are advised to disconnect sensitive electronic devices in advance to avoid voltage fluctuations when power is restored. The modernization program continues across the island, and by the end of 2026, most households and businesses in Cyprus are expected to be equipped with smart meters. This will not only improve the reliability of electricity supply but also give users access to detailed consumption analytics through mobile applications.
