HomeWith new investment and projects in the pipeline, along with a government determined to develop renewable solutions, Cyprus can finally harness its natural potential to become far more energy efficient.
The Cyprus Energy Regulatory Authority (CERA) representatives reported establishing a regulatory framework for energy storage in 2019, followed by market rules approval in 2021. The Cyprus Transmission System Operator has received 13 storage applications totaling 224 megawatts capacity, with eight applications processed and five under review.
The case of Cyprus Mapping of the Cyprus energy storage potential. Implications in the penetration of renewables and the operational mode of the conventional units Dr. George Tzamalis Hystore Tech limited Online Workshop “Storage and Renewables Electrifying Cyprus”, SREC, 19thof November 2021, Nicosia, Cyprus From previous study –presentation:
AKEL MP Costas Costa characterised Cyprus as “the only country in the world where thousands of megawatt-hours go unused due to lack of centralised green energy storage systems,” adding: “During the day we waste megawatt-hours because we lack storage, and at night we are one step away from blackouts.”
The planned battery storage infrastructure, to be installed between 2026 and 2030, will have a total capacity of 160 megawatts with the capability to store renewable energy for 2-3 hours, Papanastasiou told the House Energy Committee.
Renewable Energy Association President Fanos Karantonis advocated for hydrogen storage technology investment, noting significant European Union funding in this direction, while the Cyprus Biogas Association highlighted that existing storage schemes focus exclusively on battery technology.
