Factsheet: Cyprus
Cyprus supports PV and biogas/biomass for electricity production, while it also leans on onshore wind to achieve RES targets. Most RES electricity is connected through net-metering where it assumes energy is used for own consumption and surplus injected to the grid. Cyprus is currently not interconnected.
The 300-megawatt EPC project, powered by Envision Energy''s Battery Energy Storage System, is scheduled to break ground in H1 2024. Ameresco, a leading cleantech integrator specializing in energy efficiency and renewable energy, today announced that Ameresco and Envision Energy have been chosen by Atlantic Green to build the Cellarhead

developing areas. Energy self-sufficiency has been defined as total primary energy production divided by total primary energy supply. Energy trade includes all commodities in Chapter 27 of the Harmonised System (HS). Capacity utilisation is calculated as annual generation divided by year-end capacity x 8,760h/year. Avoided
Factsheet: Cyprus
The total population of Cyprus is 888,000 people. Cyprus is a unitary presidential republic, the island is thus governed at a national level. Clean energy national targets As determined in its Integrated National Energy and Climate Plan, Cyprus key objective in the RES target towards 2030 is to achieve at least 22.9% RES in final energy

The second pillar focuses on expanding renewable energy use. Cyprus produces 750 MW from photovoltaics, but only 19% is integrated into the grid, so the government plans to create a battery storage system with private sector involvement and a €40 million subsidy. The third pillar is the interconnection with Greece''s grid.
