Cyprus wants more people to use solar energy. The government will continue to give money to help families buy solar panels and batteries. This is because the old programme was going to end soon.
The government made this decision because they do not want people to stop buying solar systems. The programme gives up to €1,500 to each home. A leader said the support for solar panels and batteries will continue.
At the same time, the electricity company is changing old meters for new smart meters. They are doing this in many cities, like Nicosia and Limassol. The work means people will have a short power cut, for about twenty minutes. The company says this is necessary for safety.
The new smart meters will help people see how much energy they use. Together, these steps help Cyprus use more clean energy and have a better electricity system for the future.
