Solar pv and wind power will play a major role in the roadmap to 2030.

Cyprus renewable energy law.

A new project to support innovative and cost effective energy rehabilitation in public buildings has received more than 2 8 million in funding the university of cyprus announced on friday. The eu countries average target by 2020 is 14. The measures taken so far combined with those expected to be taken in implementation of the eed and the epbd have allowed cyprus to attain its end use energy savings target set for 2016 and indicate that it is also possible to attain the indicative primary energy savings target for 2020. Although in part new market rules nmr are already implemented full implementation is not expected until 2021.

This paper will examine and analyze the energy system of cyprus. A wind farm in cyprus. The success of solar water heaters for example can be replicated for solar photovoltaics pv. The cyprus energy regulatory authority cera in cooperation with the transmission system operator tso and other energy stakeholders is working to alleviate competition constraints in the power generation sector.

As the roadmap clearly shows renewable energy could form a major part of the country s future power generation mix. Solar wind energy and biomass are the three available forms of res. Cyprus adopted the law on the promotion of renewable energy and energy efficiency in the early 2010s which creates a fund that finances the premium tariff and other costs related to renewable electricity generation. Because cyprus will become a full member of the european union eu it becomes essential to follow the eu white paper rules and insert renewable energy sources res as part of its energy production system.

The cyprus government has put forward financial incentives mostly for the domestic sector which seem to be a favourable investment for renewable energy sources res such as. In 2005 there was no wind energy in 2010 3 5 of electricity. Cyprus has set out to attain a higher share of renewables and this roadmap helps to assess op timal investment strategies in the power sector. The resulting renewable energy roadmap for the republic of cyprus provides a detailed analysis of deployment options and delivers quantitative insights to assist cyprus with upcoming energy policy decisions.

Solar energy for home heating and cooling and pool heating production of electricity with wind or solar energy photovoltaics. Based on a scenario with existing measures cyprus sets out a 19 share of energy from renewable sources in gross final consumption of energy in 2030.
