The country is also seeking to develop pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) capacity with technical assistance from the European Commission (EC) and is formulating a National Hydrogen Strategy. Cyprus's electricity regulator has approved plans to install 400MWh of battery energy storage system (BESS) projects.
In a keynote address to open a conference on energy storage and hydrogen in March, George Papanastasiou of the Ministry of Energy, Commerce and Industry (MECI) noted that Cyprus faces a “unique set of energy challenges, which require tailored solutions.”
However, the intermittency of renewables has placed increasing pressure on the island''s isolated power system—making battery energy storage systems (BESS) a critical enabler of grid
