The trade unions of the Cyprus Electricity Authority (ΑΗΚ) have announced an escalation of their measures due to ongoing issues impacting the organization’s viability, electricity costs, and overall supply adequacy. As of Thursday, July 9, 2026, at 7:00 AM, shifts at the electricity generation stations in Vasilikos, Dekeleia, and Moni will operate with only essential personnel on duty. This decision was communicated through a joint letter from four unions within the organization, namely ΕΠΟΠΑΗ, ΣΗΔΗΚΕΚ-ΑΗΚ, ΣΕΠΑΗΚ, and ΣΥΒΑΗΚ.
The unions cited a lack of progress in addressing the pressing problems despite having provided ample time for resolution. They expressed concerns over the potential for electricity shortages, especially during the peak summer months, a situation the households in Cyprus have encountered in previous years. The move to operate with minimal staff is seen as a means to assert pressure for changes within the organization and address the ongoing challenges faced by the electricity sector.
