Uproar from solar panel owners in Cyprus is intensifying after thousands of households saw accumulated electricity credits wiped from their accounts.

The controversy which has been growing in pace since the Cyprus Mail first reported on it on March 8, centres on the clearing of surplus photovoltaic energy credits held under net-metering arrangements.

This means that electricity bills issued in February showed balances built up over months or years had been reduced to zero, with no prior warning issued to customers.

London does not discourage travel to Cyprus, the British High Commissioner for Refugees has confirmed, following British media reports suggesting that the British government is warning against travel to destinations such as Cyprus and Greece.

In a statement to Fileleftheros and In-Cyprus, UNHCR said the Foreign Office updated its travel advisories for all countries in the region, including Cyprus, following the start of military strikes on Iran by the US and Israel. As the British UNHCR pointed out, Cyprus did not rise to a higher alert level and remains at the lowest level of the Foreign Office.
