EAC smart meter installation continues across new areas

Date:

The smart meters rollout continues throughout June across all districts, the Electricity Authority of Cyprus (EAC) has announced.

The programme forms part of a wider effort to modernise the electricity network and improve energy management and efficiency.

Areas affected in Nicosia, Limassol and Larnaca

In Nicosia, smart meters are being installed in the Strovolos industrial area, residential zones west of GSP Stadium up to Alexandroupoleos Street, and along sections of Iosif Hadjiosif Avenue up to Athalassa Avenue.

Additional installations are taking place along Stavrou and Athinon Avenues, as well as in the community of Lythrodontas.

In Limassol, the rollout covers areas between the Limassol–Nicosia motorway and the Amathountos and Vasileos Georgiou I avenues, extending up to Christaki Kranou Street.

In Larnaca, installations are underway in areas between Griva Digeni, Artemidos, Faneromenis and Thessalonikis avenues, as well as in Livadia.

Additional installations in Livadia and Famagusta

Further work is taking place in Livadia, including the town centre and areas around Alexandrou Panagouli, Kyriakou Matsi and Grigori Afxentiou avenues.

In Famagusta, installations are focused in Paralimni, covering several streets including Sotiras, Agiou Nektariou and Asklipiou, as well as sections of 1st of April Avenue and surrounding roads towards Deryneia.

Brief power interruptions expected

The EAC said that for the safe replacement of electricity meters, power cuts will be required, although they are not expected to exceed 20 minutes.

The authority apologised for any inconvenience caused and urged residents to cooperate with technicians during the smart meters installation programme.

ON THIS DAY: 3.4-billion-year-old fossils revealed (1977)

On 23 October 1977, palaeontologist Elso Barghoorn announced the discovery of fossilised single-celled organisms estimated to be 3.4 billion years old, offering remarkable evidence of life on the early Earth. The announcement highlighted the possibility that microscopic life had emerged relatively early in Earth's history, long before plants, animals or other complex organisms appeared. Barghoorn was known for his pioneering work in palaeobiology, particularly his research into ancient microorganisms and the origins of life. Why ancient microfossils matter Unlike the fossilised bones and shells commonly associated with prehistoric life, ancient microfossils can be extremely difficult to identify. Their structures are tiny, and geological processes over billions of years can alter or obscure their original appearance. Researchers study these specimens to understand when life first appeared, what early organisms may have looked like and the environments in which they survived. Evidence of such ancient life is also important to astrobiology, as scientists investigate whether similar conditions might have supported microorganisms elsewhere in the solar system. The continuing search for Earth's earliest life The interpretation of some of the world's oldest proposed microfossils remains a subject of scientific debate. Structures that resemble microorganisms can sometimes form through non-biological processes, making independent chemical and geological evidence essential. Nevertheless, Barghoorn's work helped establish the study of ancient microscopic life as a major field of scientific research. Nearly half a century after his 1977 announcement, the search for Earth's earliest organisms continues to reshape our understanding of how life began.
