Power Plants in Cyprus
Cyprus has 9 power plants mapped on the OverWatts open energy atlas — the 126th-largest fleet of the 155 countries that hold any, and under 0.1% of the world's mapped total. Of these, 5 operating and 4 under construction or proposed. Operating generation capacity totals 1.9 GW across 5 utility-scale plants of 100 MW and above. The largest is Vasilikos power station (868 MW).
The largest owner-operators are Electricity Authority of Cyprus (4), Aksa Enerji Uretim AŞ (1) and Paramount Energy Corp Ltd (1) — Electricity Authority of Cyprus alone is named on 44% of them. Half of Cyprus's power plants in service predate 1995 (median commissioning year of the 5 with a known date) and the oldest still listed is Dhekelia power station, dating from 1982. 4 are in the pipeline, led by Mari power station (260 MW), under construction. They account for 39% of every energy asset OverWatts maps in Cyprus.
