Cyprus curtailed more than half of its potential renewable power in early 2025, including record residential solar cuts, as grid limits and a lack of storage strain its energy transition. Without swift investment in flexibility, analysts warn the country risks eroding public trust and delaying decarbonization.
Researchers in Germany have modeled dozens of indirect-expansion solar-assisted heat pump systems using photovoltaic-thermal panels for single-family homes in Munich, Berlin, and Hamburg. Simulations accounted for local weather, electricity use, and thermal demand.
The Apollon PV Park has commissioned a 3.3 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) and solar project, in a milestone for Cyprus.
Cyprus curtailed 29% of its renewable energy in 2024, a record high that signals risks to the island’s energy transition.
Cyprus’ Ministry of Energy, Commerce and Industry has launched a subsidy scheme for energy storage systems paired with existing renewable energy plants. Eligible projects will be remunerated by feed-in tariffs (FiTs) or net billing systems.
Cyprus installed 159 MW of new solar capacity in 2024, bringing its total to 797 MW by year-end, according to the latest data from the Cypriot transmission grid operator.
Researchers from Belgium and the University of Cyprus have completed outdoor stability tests of perovskite solar mini-modules providing two-years of data on stability performance. The tests showed that the modules’ performance loss rates during the burn-in period of perovskites ranged between 7% and 8% per month.
The UK Ministry of Defence has launched a tender for a 875 kW solar array to be built within its base in Cyprus. The deadline for expressions of interest is Jan. 14, 2025.
Applications for participation in the scheme will be accepted from January 15, 2025.
Greece has grand plans for an interconnector network that runs from the Middle East through to the heart of Europe. pv magazine examines the latest developments on the road to a Mediterranean super grid and what it might mean for the regions involved.
