Cyprus is the third largest island in the Mediterranean, after Sardinia and Sicily. Its land area is 9,251 km², and its population is 888,000. Cyprus is a unitary presidential republic; it is thus governed nationally.
Clean energy national targets
As determined in its Integrated National Energy and Climate Plan, Cyprus's key objective in the RES target towards 2030 is to achieve at least 22.9% RES in final energy consumption. Even though in 2019, the RES share in the electricity sector was only 9.8%, Cyprus expects to increase the share of renewables in the electricity sector to 30.3% by 2030. Cyprus foresees a target of 39.4% for the heating and cooling sector. In the transport sector, Cyprus plans to achieve a 14% share of renewable energy by 2030.
