The Minister of Energy, Commerce, and Industry in Cyprus, George Papanastasiou, emphasized the importance of energy storage and hydrogen solutions at the Energy Storage and Hydrogen Solutions conference in Nicosia. Cyprus is strategically positioning itself to become a green energy corridor in the Mediterranean by focusing on innovative storage solutions. The country faces unique energy challenges due to its isolated energy system, and efforts are being made to enhance energy security, self-sufficiency, and geopolitical stability through policy frameworks and ambitious renewable energy targets. Cyprus is investing in energy storage systems and hydrogen solutions to address the intermittent nature of renewable energy sources. The government has already published a policy framework for energy storage systems and is working on regulatory reforms to integrate them into the electricity market. Additionally, significant financial resources have been allocated to support hybrid storage systems and renewable projects. Cyprus is also exploring the potential of hydrogen as a complementary energy solution, with plans for a National Hydrogen Strategy and the gradual introduction of hydrogen in the transport sector by 2030. Challenges such as water scarcity and economic viability are being addressed. Overall, Cyprus is optimistic about the role of energy storage and hydrogen in shaping its future energy landscape.
