Located in the Bafra Tourism Zone of the TRNC, the self-consumption (zero-injection) solar power plant-commissioned to meet a portion of the Limak Cyprus Deluxe Hotel’s electricity demand has a total installed capacity of 2,257.2 kWp.
As of its commissioning in 2022, the Cyprus Bafra Solar Power Plant was the first in Cyprus to feature full zero-injection capability, meaning it did not feed any electricity into the grid. At the time it became operational, it was also the thirdlargest solar power plant in the TRNC at a single location.
To adapt to local climate conditions and maximize efficient use of the site, 550 Wp monocrystalline half-cell panels and string inverters were employed. A collaboration with an initiative supported under the Limak Energy Entrepreneurship Acceleration Program enabled the development of a performance analysis and remote monitoring system, which is also utilized in the Bafra SPP project.
The plant, which commenced operations in August 2022, operated in self-consumption (zero-injection) model until October 13, 2023. As of that date, it obtained the right to transition to the net metering mechanism. Following this transition, which supports the TRNC’s electricity supply security, the plant now feeds its entire production into the Cyprus power grid. In 2025, the plant’s total production reached 4.01 million kWh.
