OK so there is a lot to take in here.. The first and most obvious is that something went on that was not publicized but that imposes this 36 month rule. EAC have then compounded this by not telling anyone what they were doing. The second thing is that this response from EAC puts their own spin on wh...

I have received the following response from the EAC following my complaint. Dear Customer,   The Amendment of the Scheme below applies to all PV-Contracts (Net Metering & Virtual NM),regardless of their date of signature.   According to the Amendment of the existing Scheme of the Ministry of Ene...

Dominic, looks like you got panels on the basis that you would be zeroed every year and you do not have the kill switch. Fair enough, you do not have your inverter switched off on an increasingly regular basis. But for those who got the panels in say 2024, they signed a contract saying there would b...

I have been told by my neighbour who works for EAC that the credits are wiped every 3 years. Not sure if this is accurate but he mentioned it the other day. Very interesting .. but this is the first time that they have done it (it wasn’t wiped clear in 2023) What EAC is doing is underhand and decei...

Nope

The agreement specifically states it will not be wiped clear

And it hasn’t been since 2023

This is a clear contravention of the agreement the EAC signed up to.

In addition the EAC is trying to do this without telling anyone.

It will costs some hundreds of euros in the bills for April / May

I have used the online complaints form provided on the EAC website https://www.eac.com.cy/EN/RegulatedActivities/Supply/Pages/Complaints.aspx And complained as below. If anyone else feels strongly about this then I suggest they make similar complaints to the EAC My electricity bill for the period en...

Those with solar panels receive electricity bills that traditionally show credit units brought forward and credit units carried forward. Electricity bills for February 2026 do not show surplus credits being carried forward. (They continue to show the credit units being brought forward) It appears th...

Summary For those that have Domestic Solar PV with the ripple control installed on their PV systems there are several bad omens that suggest that the ripple control will be activated and their PV production will be stopped far more in 2026 than it was in 2025. It might also mean that we will all st...

Jan 2025 was Sunny and Solar PV production was high for a month that is traditionally low.

Jan 2026 was the worst month I have seen for Solar PV production in Paphos. Anyone recorded or know of a worse month for Solar PV?

No, I doubt they will stop paying pensions abroad but this 'mean' government could do what they have done to government & service peoples pensions and deduct the UK tax from them before sending them abroad. Fortunetly by the time the civil service gets round to organising it the UK could be sav...

When my wife returned to Cyprus a month or two ago, she showed her yellow slip (she was still awaiting her biometric card which had been approved) and was told her yellow slip had been cancelled. Unfortunately she wasn't carrying her payment receipt for the card, but after a lengthy discussion with...

one point of clartfication

no one exchanges a yellow slip for a ukw[x]. the process involves an application and issue of the plastic card. The yellow slip remains as valid after the issue of the plastic card as it did before the issue of the plastic card.

There is no exchange of the yellow slip.

It can if you are applying for a UKW3

The link below is a link to a website that provides links to the application forms for UKW1 , UKW2 and UKW3

i agree with trev and uncle D

In normal use it makes no sense to pay someone to clean them. The cost is likely to exceed the benefit

Clive – you may have misunderstood me. I am not a UK resident in Cyprus – I, and I suspect you, are UK Nationals resident in Cyprus. Your yellow slip is irrelevant when travelling in Europe (other than Cyprus). It may not appear that way, but it is. A Cyprus issued Biometric card is recognised in al...

yellow slips are also not part of the international agreements

As I understand it, obtaining a Biometric card by August 2026 is NOT compulsory...YET for UK residents in Cyprus. A Biometric Card is very convenient if you are a frequent flyer to countries in the Schengen Zone and as an ID card in Cyprus, but many organisations still want to see your passport and...

Can the application form for applying for a biometric card be collected from the citizens service centre . Tried to download it on the net with no luck . Every day I hate computers more and more . lefkes . try this link https://www.mip.gov.cy/dmmip/md.nsf/All/77D50B40CDA64A43C22587AA002FDE74/$file/...

i think you will find that as a general rule imports from third countries (for example the UK) are only allowed where the age of the car is less than 5 years..
