Does Cyprus have a battery energy storage system?
Cyprus’s electricity regulator has approved plans to install 400MWh of battery energy storage system (BESS) projects in the Mediterranean island country. Cyprus Energy Regulatory Authority (CERA) announced the approval earlier this week (18 June) of three projects which will be owned and operated by the Cyprus Transmission System Operator (TSOC).
Will Cyprus install 400MWh battery energy storage system?

How is Cyprus developing pumped hydro energy storage capacity?
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.
Is Cyprus facing a unique set of energy challenges?
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.”
Why did Cera approve energy storage?
CERA’s senior managers agreed the approval based on the immediate public interest need for energy storage to be installed on the electricity system to ensure its reliable and safe operation, while preventing curtailment of renewable energy production.
