Koutrafas residents oppose PV park installation

Residents of the Nicosia district village of Koutrafas on Thursday voiced opposition to plans for what they described as an “unacceptable and massive” photovoltaic (PV) park in their area.

“We are collecting signatures to deliver to President Christodoulides and the speaker of parliament, and we are immediately demanding an independent environmental study, the institutional protection of arable land and full transparency regarding those involved,” a local initiative group said in a letter.
