At 4:00 PM on Tuesday, electricity demand in Cyprus remained steady at 861 Megawatts (MW), similar to Monday’s levels, with a significant decrease in conventional production after 7:00 AM.
The decrease was due to a substantial increase in dispersed electricity production from photovoltaics and biomass, driven by the sunny weather.
Data from the Cyprus Transmission System Operator (TSO) revealed that total electricity demand peaked at 905 MW at 8:30 AM before settling at 861 MW by 4:00 PM.
On Monday, February 24, demand was at 860 MW.
Conventional electricity production stood at 573 MW at 4:00 PM, down from 779 MW at 7:00 AM.
Dispersed production, including photovoltaics and biomass, reached 259 MW at 4:00 PM and peaked at 423 MW at 9:15 AM, slightly higher than the previous day.
Production from wind farms was 29 MW at 4:00 PM, with wind generation at zero by 10:15 AM.
On February 24, total electricity demand peaked at 1,109 MW at 7:45 PM, with conventional production reaching a daily high of 1,098 MW.
Dispersed generation reached 417 MW at 8:45 AM, while wind generation peaked at 57 MW at the same time.
