People in Cyprus use solar power differently now. Old rules for solar power stopped on December 31st. This was called net metering. A new system starts January 1st, 2026. It is called net billing. This helps the power lines.
Net metering was used for many years. People got full money for solar power sent to the power lines. Many people put solar panels on their homes. But too much solar power made the power lines work hard. The power lines could not use extra solar power. A new plan was needed.
The government and the power company made net billing. With net billing, power sent to the lines gets less money. Power bought from the lines costs the same. This system wants people to use their own solar power. It also helps people buy batteries. Batteries save extra power.
The government will help with batteries. Starting January 1st, 2026, people can get money for batteries. This will save solar power for later. People will use less power from the lines.
The power company has many solar panel plans. They will finish them fast. People who want solar panels must learn about net billing. This new system helps use clean power in Cyprus.
