Electricity supply is expected to run smoothly, despite the high demand due to hot weather.
Cyprus’ transmission system spokeswoman Chara Kousiappa said demand on Thursday was estimated to peak at 1,150MW between 2pm and 4pm.
In statements to the Cyprus News Agency (CNA), Kousiappa noted that photovoltaic systems contributed 500MW during peak demand hours, while aeolic production up to 10MW maximum.
Overall, renewable energy sources would be covering about 48 per cent of the demand at the highest point.
