During the Energy Storage and Hydrogen Solutions conference in Nicosia, Cyprus, Minister of Energy, Commerce, and Industry, George Papanastasiou emphasized the crucial role of energy storage and hydrogen solutions in Cyprus's green transition efforts. Cyprus aims to become a green energy corridor in the Mediterranean, facilitating energy transmission between EU and non-EU countries. The country's energy landscape, characterized by dependence on imported fossil fuels and lack of interconnections, necessitates tailored solutions for energy security and affordability. Cyprus has set ambitious targets for renewable energy deployment, with a focus on solar energy due to its cost-effectiveness and availability. The government has introduced policy frameworks and regulatory reforms to facilitate the integration of energy storage systems into the electricity market and allocated substantial financial resources towards hybrid storage systems. Moreover, Cyprus is exploring hydrogen capabilities, initiating a public consultation on the National Hydrogen Strategy and planning for the gradual introduction of hydrogen in the transport sector by 2030. Despite challenges such as water scarcity and economic constraints, Cyprus is determined to shape its energy future with a comprehensive regulatory framework and collaborative efforts from public and private sectors.
