Energy debate reignites as MPs clash over EAC budget

MPs on Thursday squabbled over the state of the energy sector, even dredging up the 2011 deadly explosion at Mari naval base which took the nearby power station offline.

The row unfolded during the debate prior to passage of the 2026 budget for the Electricity Authority of Cyprus (EAC). The EAC balance sheet provides for €2.55 billion in expenditures, and €1.95 billion in revenues.

The discussion provided the parties with the opportunity to air their grievances on energy-related policies.
