Public uproar leads to a petition against the Electricity board of Cyprus

Residents across the Republic of Cyprus are becoming increasingly frustrated, angry and vocal about the Electricity prices this winter and the position from a Government and Electricity Authority of Cyprus (EAC) is becoming untenable. 


Our recent About Larnaca article "Electricity in Cyprus is the most expensive in the EU" outlined many of the issues. However, much of the public anger is drawn towards that fact that the EAC operate with an effective Monopoly in Cyprus and seem to act like a law unto themselves.

As such many residents are seeking to take action. One means of doing this is to generate names on a petition, One such petition is called "End Unfair Electricity Authority of Cyprus Effective Monopoly"

The premise is as follows...

"This is a petition to protest the unfair and high prices charged by the Electricity Authority of Cyprus (EAC), which are imposed unilaterally on customers who have no other viable and reasonably priced electricity providers to choose from. Sign this petition if you want to end bills that are higher than your rent and keep getting higher even though there is an economic crisis in our country.

End this effective monopoly by exercising your democratic rights to protest against unfair treatment and anti-competitive practices that are against EU law."
