Development of RES – Measures & Tools
 Financing programmes for the support and implementation of RES
 The allocation of an explicit RES development roadmap
 The elimination of the administrative barriers that prevent the
development of RES
 Measures of raising public awareness
Financing Tool for the Support of RES
• A Special Fund has been created aiming at support of RES and Energy
Saving investments in Cyprus. The revenues of this fund are coming
from the consumers paying an additional tax
• Implementation of a Programme with a view to encouraging RES
Utilisation
• Provides financial incentives (capital or/and operational aid) in the
promotion of Renewable Energy Sources

Elimination of the Administrative Barriers
• The Energy Service of the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and
Tourist has undertaken the role of “one stop shop” in order to:
• Expedite the procedures
• Facilitate the materialization of investments for the promotion of
alternative energy sources and energy conservation
technologies.
• Fair and transparent terms for connection of an electricity
producer from RES to the national grid
• Existence of energy market rules which eliminate distortions
Energy Saving – Measures & Tools
• National Energy Efficiency Action Plan (in conformity with EU Directive
on Energy Services)
 The target (above requirements) consists to 10% by 2016
 Priorities are buildings, transport and industry
• Buildings:
 Implementation of the energy performance buildings directive
 Mandatory installation of Solar water heaters on domestic houses
 Financial support scheme providing grants and subsidies for energy
efficiency investments
 CFL lamps: Cyprus Government provides 6 lamps for each household
• Industry:
 The main tool used for energy savings is the governmental financial
support scheme. Emphasis is given to heat recovery, efficient use of
electricity, CHP.
 Transformation sector:
• Introduction of natural gas and CCGT technology
Energy Saving – Measures & Tools
• Transport:
 Governmental support schemes for purchasing of hybrid, electric, FFV,
low emissions vehicles (120g CO2/km)
 School bus
• Public Sector:
 Awareness raising and education of civil servants on simple measures and
behaviour to save energy in the workplace
• Energy Label:
 Energy labelling for appliances is operating successfully in Cyprus and market
surveillance authorities provide data that a minimum 80% are labelled in shops
• Financial incentives (capital aid) in the promotion of Energy Saving
