Removal of the High-Voltage Overhead Electricity Transmission Line

With particular satisfaction, the Municipality of Geroskipou welcomes the start of the implementation of the commitment undertaken by the Electricity Authority of Cyprus to remove the high-voltage overhead electricity transmission line that runs along Spyrou Kyprianou Avenue in Geroskipou.

We are referring to a request by the successive municipal councils of Geroskipou, the pursuit of which began as far back as 1998 and culminated in 2015 through a lawsuit filed with the Paphos Court. Through this lawsuit, the Municipality secured the EAC’s commitment to place the network underground and remove the line.

With the removal of these pylons, Geroskipou is completely freed from high-voltage overhead electricity transmission lines, which protects public health and the human environment of our town.

This long-standing effort was a collective one. The Municipal Council of Geroskipou expresses its disappointment at the tactless and misguided announcement by the “Paphos Salvation Movement”, through which it attempted to take credit for the outcome, which is a positive one for Geroskipou.
