Cyprus’ electricity network is struggling to keep pace with demand for new solar and battery projects, according to fresh figures released by the Electricity Authority of Cyprus Distribution System Operator.

Is laughing at it the best way to cope in a world that seems to have gone mad? One local stand-up comedian thinks so

Stand‑up comedy on the island was practically nonexistent a decade ago. Still young and informal, today’s tight-knit scene boasts acts in Greek, Cypriot Greek and English, with regular international stand‑up comedians making appearances on the island too.

Actor and founder of Stantar Kkomety, one of the best‑known local comedy collectives that runs open mic nights, podcasts, curated showcases, festivals and themed shows, Yorgos Kyriakou spearheaded a tour of Cyprus with his ‘Yorgos the Comically Cypriot’ act in both Cypriot Greek and English at the beginning of the year, a first for local audiences who are usually only get to see comedians perform in one language.

EU-US TARIFF AGREEMENT - WHAT THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT INSISTS ON

EU-US TARIFF AGREEMENT - WHAT THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT INSISTS ON - Filenews 10/5 by Maria Psara

European Union negotiators failed to reach a common position on the EU-US trade deal on Wednesday night. It was the second political dialogue on the US proposals on customs duties. Despite the honourable efforts of the Cyprus Presidency, MEPs are very concerned about the "regressions" of US President Donald Trump and seek safeguards.

But that delay risks provoking the ire of President Trump again, who has threatened to impose 25% tariffs on European automakers if the EU fails to implement the transatlantic trade deal reached at the Scottish golf club of Turnberry last year.

THE SUN PRODUCES CHEAP ENERGY. AFTER?

THE SUN PRODUCES CHEAP ENERGY.  AFTER? - Filenews 10/5 by Chrysanthos Manoli


There are many who believe that the magic solution to all the problems surrounding the production and consumption of electricity from renewable sources is storage. EU countries have already realized that, just as the mass installation of commercial photovoltaic and wind farms was not enough to "green" a large part of electricity production and reduce costs to the final consumer, so now storage is not enough. Much more is needed, falling within the realm of timely and reliable planning and preparing the grid to absorb production.

And a socially just green energy trading system is also needed, so that consumers can benefit equally from the reduced cost of electricity.
