An EU-compatible hybrid electricity market for Cyprus (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The lack of visible benefits from Cyprus’ Competitive Electricity Market has reopened debate over the single buyer model. Under a conventional single-buyer arrangement, one body purchases electricity through tenders or long-term contracts and supplies it at a blended price. Renewable producers would compete on price, preventing low-cost solar electricity from being sold at rates linked to expensive oil-fired generation. But returning to a compulsory single buyer would be legally and institutiona
Cyprus’ competitive electricity market one year on (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Cyprus’ competitive electricity market completes its first year of operation on October 1. Technically, it is functioning. Electricity is traded through day-ahead, intraday, forward and balancing arrangements broadly aligned with EU’s Target Model. But the test of an electricity market is not whether its software works or bids are submitted on time. It is whether competition produces greater efficiency, encourages appropriate investment and passes lower costs to consumers. On those tests, there
Geopolitics of the Mediterranean in the aftermath of Hormuz (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The return of acute geopolitical risk to global energy markets is changing the way energy security is understood. The central question is no longer simply how to deliver energy as efficiently and cheaply as possible. Increasingly, it is how to ensure that energy continues to flow when normal sources, routes or infrastructure are disrupted. This represents a shift from the economics of “just-in-time” towards the security of “just-in-case”. For decades, energy systems increasingly prioritised effi
Cyprus solar power: where the money really goes (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The debate over Cyprus’ high electricity prices has increasingly focused on renewable energy producers and, in particular, whether commercial solar parks are earning excessive returns. This is a legitimate question and should be examined. But the evidence suggests that concentrating on solar parks returns alone risks missing the much bigger picture. Cyprus now has more than 1,055MW of photovoltaic capacity, of which 450MW is rooftop solar. According to official Energy Service data for April 2026
Fidias’s challenge: Let’s finally open the electricity bill (opens the original)
Read excerpt
MEP Fidias Panayiotou’s initiative to reduce electricity prices by 20 per cent has sparked intense public debate. The government, professional bodies, and market stakeholders quickly disputed his calculations, particularly regarding the prices received by photovoltaic (solar) parks. The initial proposal does contain points that require correction and more thorough documentation. However, the discussion risks getting lost in a dispute over numbers and overlooking the most important issue. Fidias’
