CyprusGrid, an energy analytics platform focused on Cyprus’ electricity sector, reported that the country curtailed 306 GWh of renewable energy generated by green power plants connected to the country’s distribution network in 2025.

These plants are predominantly solar photovoltaic facilities, except for 12.5 MW of biogas units and 24 MW of wind power, which is also connected to the distribution network.

This means that 47.44% of the country’s solar and biogas energy generation last year was wasted. “To put it into practice, we are talking about energy that could roughly cover the annual needs of more than 51,000 households,” said Andreas Procopiou, founder of CyprusGrid.

March was the month the distribution network curtailed the highest amount of green energy, with a record 38,155 MWh. The average monthly volume of cuts nearly doubled to 25,513 MWh per month in 2025, up from 13,916 MWh per month in 2024.
