The Commission has launched discussions with the two Cypriot communities in Cyprus about the results of an EU-funded pre-feasibility study concerning the possible establishment of the first-ever bi-communal solar power plant in Cyprus.

Discussions were officially launched with a meeting with the representatives of both Cypriot communities, chaired by Mario Nava, Director-General for Structural Reform Support at the European Commission.

The pre-feasibility study, funded under the EU aid programme for the Turkish Cypriot community and carried out in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme, envisages a solar power plant of 36MW capacity located in the buffer zone, using photovoltaics and batteries with a storage capacity of 3 hours.

A solar and energy storage facility established by AES Distributed Energy and Kauai Island Service Cooperative (KIUC) is located in a settlement of Lāwa on the southern shore of Kauai.

The plant has a power of 28 MW and has an energy storage capacity of 100 MWh to 5 hours. With the established PV plant, 11 percent of the electricity demand in the Kauai region is met, and Hawaii is expected to increase the share of electricity generation from renewable energy to more than 50 percent.
