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 that the EAC is zeroing out surplus credits on the February (and I assume on the March bills) in the way they used to prior to 2023.
This will have a big impact on the amount of the electric bills of those with solar panels particularly in April / May 2026.
Has anyone heard of seen any public statement on this matter or does anyone have any further info?
Solar Credits carried forward being cancelled in Feb / March 2026?
Re: Solar Credits carried forward being cancelled in Feb / March 2026?
I have used the online complaints form provided on the EAC website
https://www.eac.com.cy/EN/RegulatedActi ... aints.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 ended XX February 2026 does not show the amount of Credit Units (KWh) carried forward.
I phoned the EAC and was told that my credits had all been cancelled on this bill and I would start from zero again. I asked why this was and was told this was happening for everyone in February and March. I asked if there was any documentation about this change and I was told it was on the website but the operator did not know where. I was then told that the this was a decision of the government but again the operator did not know which decision.
I stated that I had an agreement with the EAC (the net metering electricity agreement) in which it is stated in Greek that
“It is clarified that there will be no final clearing of surpluses (if any) on the last bill of a twelve-month time period, but these surpluses will be carried over to the next billing period”
The EAC appear to be in breach of that agreement.
My complaint is that my bill should show the amount of credits being carried forward and that if the EAC is carrying out any clearing of the surpluses then that is in breach of the Agreement that both the EAC and I have signed.
I look forward to hearing your response to my complaint.

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
