The Electricity Authority of Cyprus (EAC) got money for 2026. It is a big amount: €2.55 billion. Some people in charge were not happy. They talked about Cyprus's energy. They also talked about old power plants. The EAC needs to borrow money. They will also use saved money.
People talked about energy costs. They are worried about dirty air. They want cleaner energy faster. The Dhekelia power plant was a big topic. The EU wants it closed. It makes too much pollution. But the plant is still working. This made some people angry.
New machines for Dhekelia cost a lot. This money is €140 million. There were many delays for these machines. The EAC promised to fix the plant years ago. The money plan passed. But some people still disagreed.
They also talked about other energy. They discussed buying and using natural gas. They also talked about sun and wind power. Some people remembered a big fire in 2011. This showed energy can be unsafe. They asked about past gas storage.
There are worries about power later. One leader said there could be blackouts. This is because current power is not enough. They need good, clean energy fast. The EAC's money was also questioned.
The money plan is approved. But people still have different ideas. It is hard to make one energy plan. Using old, dirty plants is a problem. Using new energy is also hard. The Dhekelia plant is still a big issue.
