1. INTRODUCTION

1. The MECIΤ (Ministry of Energy, Commerce, Industry and Tourism), as the

competent authority for the implementation and follow-up to Directive 2012/27/ΕU

on energy efficiency, applying the provisions of Article 7(9), drew up the National

Energy Efficiency Programme for the purpose of achieving the mandatory energy

savings target referred to in Paragraph 1 of the abovementioned Article.

2. The National Energy Efficiency Programme was prepared taking into account the

provisions of Article 7 of Directive 2012/27/ΕU, Annex V of the Directive and the

supporting document, issued by the European Commission, entitled ‘Guidance

note on Directive 2012/27/EU on energy efficiency, amending Directives

2009/125/EC and 2010/30/EC, and repealing Directives 2004/8/EC and

2006/32/EC - Article 7: Energy efficiency obligation schemes’ on 6 November

2013.

3. The mandatory target calculated according to the provisions of the Directive

amounts to 213 182 TOE and it must be achieved in the period 2014-2020 by

taking measures to improve end-use energy efficiency. The intermediate periods

fixed for achieving the target are 2014-2016 and 2017-2020 The cumulative

energy savings in 2020 from the measures expected to be implemented over the

period 2014-2016 are estimated to amount to 239 214 TOE. Respectively, for the

period 2017-2020, the cumulative energy savings in 2020 are estimated to

amount to 79 945 ΤOE. In total, over the period 2014-2020 the measures taken by

the country are expected to result in energy savings of 319 160 TOE.

2. METHOD USED FOR CALCULATING THE CUMULATIVE TARGET WHICH

MUST BE ACHIEVED BY IMPLEMENTING ARTICLE 7

1. The following parameters have been taken into account for calculating the energy

savings quantity specified in Article 7(1):

i. Motor fuels have been fully excluded from the final consumption quantity for

calculating the target, as is applicable under Subparagraph 1 of Article 7(1).

ii. The fuels used by autoproducers to produce heat and electricity, the production

of heat by cogeneration, the production of electricity from autonomous

photovoltaics and the production of electricity from autonomous wind parks


have been excluded from the final consumption quantity for calculating the

target. The data used are national, as not all data needed were available from

Eurostat.

iii. From the calculated mandatory energy savings target 25% has been

subtracted, which represents the energy savings quantity that may be

subtracted because of actions implemented after 31 December 2008 and

continuing to have an impact in 2020, as referred to in Subparagraph 3 of

Article 7(2) and (3).

iv. The data on final energy consumption (Β_101700) for 2010 and 2011 were

received from the Statistical Office of the European Union (Eurostat), whereas

National Data were used for 2012, as these were not available from Eurostat.

These data are available in Table 1 of Annex 1.

v. The data on final energy consumption by transport (code Β_101900), which

have been excluded from the calculations, were received for 2010 and 2011

from the Statistical Office of the European Union (Eurostat), whereas National

Data were used for 2012, as these were not available in Eurostat. These data

are available in Table 1 of Annex 1.

vi. It is noted that electricity consumption was converted into TOE using the

conversion rate of 1 kwh = 0.086 * 10-3 TOE, as both calculations concerning

end use and the mandatory cumulative target are included in the calculation for

final energy consumption.

2.1 CALCULATION OF MANDATORY CUMULATIVE TARGET FOR THE PERIOD

2014-2020

1. The average final consumption in Cyprus for the period 2010-2012 after the

subtractions referred to in Subparagraphs 1 and 2 of Article 2(1) above amounts

to 676 768 TOE, as calculated in Table 2 of Annex 1. The mandatory cumulative

energy savings target after the subtraction of 25% as referred to in Subparagraph

3 of Article 2(1) above amounts to 213.182 TOE, as calculated in Table 3 of

Annex 1.


2.2 ENERGY EFFICIENY MEASURES WHICH WERE TAKEN AFTER 31

DECEMBER 2008 AND HAVE AN IMPACT IN 2020

1. As already mentioned above, the right to exclude 25% of the calculated

cumulative target has been applied while calculating the mandatory cumulative

target. Specifically, in this case, 71 061 TOE have been subtracted from the total

cumulative target.

2. The measures included for calculating the above quantity were implemented over

the period 2009 – 2012 and have an impact at least until 31 December 2020. The

measures in question, which are also presented in the 2nd NEEAP of Cyprus that

was submitted to the Commission in July 2011, are the following:

3. It is noted that, under the 2nd NEEAP, the calculations for some of the above

measures concerned the years up to 2009. Therefore, data have been added

which concern 2010, 2011 and, where available, 2012. It is estimated that the

energy savings from the measures implemented in 2013, as well as from some

measures concerning 2012 will exceed 12 500 TOE. Consequently, a quantity of

71 061 TOE will be deducted from the mandatory cumulative target because of

the right to 25% and details of the measures in question will be submitted as part

of Cyprus’ 3rd NEEAP in April 2014.

4. For the calculations of energy savings the national methodologies and the

methodologies proposed by the European Commission (RECOMMENDATIONS

ON MEASUREMENT AND VERIFICATION METHODS IN THE FRAMEWORK

OF DIRECTIVE 2006/32/EC) were used, which were also used for the

calculations in the 2nd NEEAP. Table 2 summarises every measure or

methodology (National or proposed by the European Commission) which was

used for calculating the achieved energy savings, as well as referencing the

annex of this document which contains tables with data used for the calculation,

and the 2nd NEEAP, where the methodology is described in detail.

3. PRESENTATION OF MEASURES TO ACHIEVE THE MANDATORY TARGET

UNDER ARTICLE 7.

1. Table 3 summarises all the measures proposed to be implemented for achieving

the cumulative target which was calculated in Paragraph 2.1 above. The

measures are divided into 3 main categories. The 1st category concerns proposals

submitted for the co-financing of projects from the European Structural and

Investment Funds for the period 2014-2020, the 2nd category concerns measures

for installing photovoltaic systems using the Net – Metering and autoproduction

methods for own use and the 3rd category concerns grants schemes for

promoting energy efficiency. Paragraph 2 also refers to the prediction of a

decrease in energy consumption because of the economic recession and the

Memorandum of Understanding signed between the Republic of Cyprus and the

Troika. All categories of measures are presented in detail in paragraphs 3.1, 3.2,

3.3.

TOTAL OF CATEGORY 3 9 827.5

TOTAL OF CATEGORIES 1,2 AND 3 319 160

2. The cumulative energy saving estimated to result from implementing the

measures in categories 1,2 and 3 amounts to 319 160 TOE, a quantity which

exceeds the mandatory cumulative target of 213 182 TOE by approximately 50%.

It is noted that implementing the measures depends, to a great extent, on the

approval and availability of the required funds from the European Structural and

Investment Funds in 2014-2020, on the available resources of the Special Fund

for RES and Energy Efficiency in 2014-2020, as well as on investors’ interest.

3. Due to the demands for both fiscal adjustment and the downsizing and

restructuring of the domestic banking sector in order to achieve sustainable levels

of public debt in the medium term, the national authorities and the Troika

(European Commission, European Central Bank and International Monetary

Fund) agreed on a programme of economic and financial adjustment for Cyprus

This led to the signing of a memorandum of understanding on 2 April 2013. The

measures provided for in the agreement are presented in Annex I of Law

1(III)/2013, which was passed in order to ratify the Financial Support Facility

Agreement between the European Stability Mechanism, the Republic of Cyprus

and the Central Bank of Cyprus. This programme essentially includes various

macroeconomic forecasts for the period 2013-2020, assuming that national

economy will contract significantly over 2013-2014 (mainly due to a major

decrease in private and public consumption) and that economic development will

slowly recover from 2015 onwards. These results are estimated to lead to a


decrease in energy consumption in 2020. According to a study conducted in

cooperation with Dr. Theodoros Zahariadis, assistant professor of the Cyprus

University of Technology (CUT), this decrease is expected to exceed 280 000

ΤOE in 2020 (Annexes 31 and 32 are relevant). If the measures provided for in

the agreed memorandum may be construed as a package of tax measures, then

the following are stated according to the requirements of Annex V of Directive

2012/27/ΕU on tax measures:

i) These measures will affect the entire population, as well as businesses.

ii) The measures are imposed by the Republic of Cyprus. The measures

related to the banking sector are imposed by the government and the

central bank.

iii) The expected energy savings can be calculated taking into account the

close relationship between energy use and economic efficiency and they

exceed 280 000 TOE in 2020.

iv) Most of the measures included in the adjustment programme will be

permanent and will concern the period 2014-2020.

v) The effect of these measures on the economy has been evaluated by the

government and the Troika, so that it takes into account the latest

macroeconomic forecasts and the effect of the adjustment programme.

The influence of macroeconomic developments in energy consumption has

been formed taking into account the differences in income and price

elasticities by sector, as well as the distinction between short-term and

long-term elasticities. In total, income elasticities range from 0.70 to 1.20,

depending on the economic sector. Short-term price elasticities range from

-0.07 to -0,20 and long-term ones from -0,20 to -0,80, reflecting the fact

that energy is generally a necessity for households and businesses.

3.1 Proposals by the European Structural and Investment Funds-ERDF, ESF,

CF, EAFRD, EMFF-for making effective use of resources.

1. The use of funds from the European Structural and Investment Funds in the

period 2014-2020 is mainly aimed at an energy upgrade of the country’s existing

buildings (businesses, public buildings, homes), with the consequent benefit of

mobilising investments in the building industry while using, in parallel, energy-

efficient materials and technologies in the sector of buildings. Moreover, this will


lead to the creation of new jobs, economic growth, as well as savings in economic

and energy resources. Additionally, it aims at promoting energy audits, promoting

high efficiency systems of electricity and heat cogeneration, as well as improving

energy efficiency in industry.

2. The actions detailed in Paragraphs 3.1.1. – 3.1.8, depending on their degree of

implementation, are expected to contribute significantly to achieving the national

indicative energy efficiency target (14.3% until 2020), as well as the national

mandatory target for renewable energy sources (13% until 2020), since the

decrease in energy consumption increases the percentage penetration of RES.

3. The implementation of the measures depends on their approval by the Planning

Bureau which is the competent body for allocating and distributing funds in the

country.

3.1.1 Co-financing of investments in the energy upgrade of buildings owned by

central and local government.

1. The measure concerns the energy upgrade of buildings owned by central and

local government. The energy upgrade will aim to upgrade existing public

buildings in energy efficiency to energy efficiency class B, as the latter is defined

in the Energy Performance Certificate under the laws on energy efficiency

regulation in buildings from 2006 to 2012. In the energy saving measures which

will be taken, apart from the established methods (thermal insulation, new window

frames, etc.), systems of better energy consumption management will also be

included.

2. The measure concerns the energy upgrade of approximately 24 buildings per year

and it is estimated that approximately 168 buildings will be upgraded in the period

2014-2020. By implementing the measure, the cumulative energy savings in the

period 2014-2020 are expected to amount to 12 634 ΤOE. Table 4 summarises

the financial data concerning the proposal in question.

economy. Road transport represents approximately 40% of the final energy

consumption in Cyprus The percentage of alternative (electric, hybrid, twin-

propulsion) vehicles does not exceed 1% of the total number of private vehicles.

2. The programme’s strategy is to install a small number of chargers for electric

vehicles, covering several areas of Cyprus, to create the appropriate infrastructure

for operating and controlling all these charging points and achieving their smooth

operation through creating smart grids and a distribution control system.

3. The Energy Service of the MECIT in cooperation with the EAC and with other

bodies will select a total of 15 points (public places) throughout free Cyprus,

where the EAC will install chargers for electric vehicles. For the purpose of

calculating the energy savings, please consider that each charging point

corresponds to the purchase of 10 electric vehicles. Table 12 summarises the

3.1.6 Financial Data on co-financing for the installation of the advanced

metering infrastructure system – Smart Grid.

1. The measure concerns installing an integrated advanced metering infrastructure

(ΑΜΙ) system with 500 000 smart meters in two (2) phases (A and B), which is

also in accordance with the country’s obligation under directive 2003/54/EC and

contributes significantly to the country’ s alignment with directives 2009/72/EC and

2009/28/EC.

2. As proven in other countries around the world, innovative systems which combine

advanced automated telemetry and communications technologies have the

potential to dramatically increase the cost effectiveness and productivity of

electrical power distribution and supply. EAC is currently assessing the tenders

submitted in Phase A οf the project, which will concern 3 000 of the meters. This

will allow the examination of the technical and economic parameters of fully

implementing this system (Phase B) and preparing a cost-benefit study.

3. The overwhelming majority of meters in Cyprus are EAC-owned. Today, there are

500 000 conventional meters with limited or no communication ability.

3.3 Grants schemes for RES and energy efficiency by the Special Fund for RES

and Energy Efficiency

1. The grants schemes have been operating since 2004 under the management of

the Special Fund for RES and Energy Efficiency and intend to provide financial

incentives in the form of government grants and/ or subsidies for implementing

investments and encouraging the use of renewable energy sources (RES). The

scheme covers investments in purchasing and installing new equipment. It also

covers the cost of studies, where these are deemed necessary. The investments

must concern mature technologies and not technologies which are at the stage of

research and development. Grants schemes aim to: promoting energy efficiency

and RES in the housing, tertiary, industrial and agricultural sector, raise citizen’s

awareness of RES issues and contributing to RES targets and energy savings

targets.

2. The grants schemes are targeted both at natural persons in relation to

implementing investments in the tertiary sector and to legal persons for

investments in the industrial, tertiary and agricultural sector. The grants schemes

are revised annually, depending on the available budget from the Special Fund for

RES and Energy Efficiency, in relation to the beneficiaries, the eligible categories

of investments, the maximum amounts of grants, as well as the conditions which

must be met in order for an interested party to participate. Therefore, the

categories included in the paragraphs below might change in the future and

categories might be added or removed.

3. The evaluation of applications submitted will be conducted by the Cyprus Institute

of Energy, whereas the total approval for the release of the grant is issued by the

Management Committee of the Special Fund for RES and Energy Efficiency.

Table 23 refers to the number of systems which involve using RES for replacing


conventional heating and cooling systems as well as autonomous electrical power

production from RES (systems of up to 20 KW) and are expected to be replaced

by 2020 with the corresponding energy savings quantity per system and per

category.

ANNEX 4: CALCULATION TABLES IN RELATION TO THE FREE DISTRIBUTION OF COMPACT FLUORESCENT LAMPS

For the evaluation of annual energy savings derived from the replacement of lamps with Compact Fluorescence Lamps, used the methodology of page 77 of Measurement and verification Methods in the frame of Directive 2006/32/EC.

1. Due to the lack of data for the variable PSTOCK_AVERAGE ,for the calculations for the Unitary energy savings GLS to CFL used, the default value 47 kWh/year of table 1.2 of page 84 of the above mention Measurement and verification Methods.

2. For the variable Average Operating Hours used the default value 1000h/year of table 1.2 of page 84 of the above mention Measurement and verification Methods.

3. The total energy savings per year shall be given by the number of the CFL multiplied by the above default value of the unitary energy saving GLS to CFL.

4. In the year 2010 distributed 360.000 CFL with average lifetime 10.000h.

5. In the year 2011 distributed 245.000 CFL with average lifetime 10.000h.

6.In the year 2012 distributed 650.000 CFL with average lifetime 10.000h.

7. Note that, we assume the distributed CFL immediately replace existing bulbs.

It is believed that an energy saving of 20% will only be achieved only within the 1st

year (2014) of the meters’ installation. For the next years, because of the continuing

improvement in energy efficiency of household appliances and heating and cooling systems, as well as of buildings, under the new directives, it is estimated that this

amount will gradually decrease.

20 In accordance with the data from the Cyprus Meteorological Service on the solar potential of Cyprus, and on the basis of relevant studies and measurements from

photovoltaic systems installed in Cyprus, a polycrystalline or monocrystalline photovoltaic system with rated capacity of one Kilowatt (1kWp), panel angle of -27-30ο , a

southern direction and immovable panels generates approximately 1 500KWh per year (0.129ΤOE), as an average during its first 20 years of operation. Therefore, the above-

mentioned price is used for the purpose of calculation The actual energy savings will be calculated from the actual electrical power generation of each system that will be

installed, as, using the meter that will be installed in each system, we will know the actual annual production.

21 The lifetime of the system in years was derived from the table on page 85 of the methodologies proposed by the European Commission (RECOMMENDATIONS ON

MEASUREMENT AND VERIFICATION METHODS IN THE FRAMEWORK OF DIRECTIVE 2006/32/EC) which were also used for the calculations as part of the 2nd

ANNEX 31: ASSESSMENT OF THE EFFECT OF RECENT ECONOMIC

DEVELOPMENTS ON ENERGY CONSUMPTION IN CYPRUS

Theodoros Zachariadis

July 2013

Cyprus has enjoyed sustained economic growth over the last 30 years, with real GDP growth

averaging 5.6% per year from the early 1980s until the late 2000s, mainly due to the

development of financial services and tourism. Its per capita Gross Domestic Product

exceeded 22,000 Euros in 2011. Since the global financial crisis however, the economy has

changed path. Cyprus experienced one year of recession (2009), followed by two years of

slow GDP growth. Economic activity was further hit in 2011 by an accident that destroyed half

of the total electricity generating capacity of Cyprus. Α worsening external environment and

tightening financial and fiscal conditions reinforced the adverse effect on economic activity.

More stringent bank lending conditions, declining foreign demand for housing, worsening

labour market conditions and weakening confidence affected private consumption negatively.

Public finances exerted additional pressure as banks needed state support, while the

government had lost access to international markets since 2011. As a result, economic output

contracted substantially in year 2012 – by 2.3% in real terms.

Energy use is closely linked with economic output, hence the recession or sluggish growth of

years 2009-2012 had a clear effect on national energy consumption. Compared with forecasts

of year 2011 in the frame of the 2nd National Energy Efficiency Action Plan (NEEAP) of

Cyprus that was submitted to the European Commission, energy projections for the year 2020

were revised downwards in early 2013, in line with the winter macroeconomic forecasts of

the European Commission that were published in February 2013.

After the dramatic events of March 2013 and the requirements for fiscal adjustment as well as

downsizing and restructuring of the domestic banking sector in order to attain sustainable

levels of public debt in the medium term, an economic and financial adjustment programme

for Cyprus was agreed between the national authorities and the Troika (European

Commission, European Central Bank and International Monetary Fund); this led to the

signature of a Memorandum of Understanding on 2 April 2013. This adjustment programme

included substantially different macroeconomic projections for the period 2013-2020, in

particular assuming a strong contraction of the national economy in years 2013-2014 –

mainly due to significant decreases in private and public consumption as well as fixed

investment – and a slow rebound of economic growth from 2015 onwards.

Table 1 presents two basic macroeconomic projections up to the year 2020, one that was

made in February 2013 and one in April 2013, after the agreement of the adjustment

programme for Cyprus. Following the latest economic developments, economic output is

projected to fall considerably and, after some rebound, real GDP may only reach in 2020 the

level that was recorded in year 2007.


Although the adjustment programme is generally expected to affect services more strongly

than other sectors of the economy, there are still vague indications about a potential change in

the structure of the GDP. As the published macroeconomic forecasts do not include

projections for the evolution of sectoral GDP shares, we assumed that sectoral contributions

to GDP will remain the same in both projections.

Obviously, these dramatic changes in the economic environment are expected to considerably

affect energy use in the rest of this decade. Therefore, we assessed the reduction in energy

consumption that should be expected in Cyprus in the year 2020 as a result of the April 2013

adjustment programme.

For this purpose, the latest version of our energy forecast model was applied using the two

sets of macroeconomic assumptions shown in Table 1; this has led to two different

projections for final energy demand excluding electricity. International energy prices were

assumed to develop in the same way in both model runs. As a result of declining economic

activity and private consumption in years 2013-2014, non-electricity energy consumption in

2020 is projected to drop to a different extent in each sector of the economy, and by 7.9%

over the whole economy – or 119 ktoe.

As regards power generation, the projected decrease is more pronounced. To assess the

overall change in electricity demand and supply, we used official forecasts of the National

Transmission System Operator (TSO):

i) Those of early 2013, which did not account for the adverse macroeconomic environment

after the adoption of the adjustment programme; and

ii) The revised projections of April 2013, which took account of trends in electricity demand

observed during the first months of the year and assumed 15-20% lower annual power

generation needs up to 2020 compared to the earlier TSO forecast.

The use of renewable sources for electricity production was assumed to remain constant and

equal to the amount foreseen in the 2nd NEEAP and in the National Renewable Energy Action

Plan of Cyprus submitted to the European Commission in 2010. Thermal power generation in

2020 was assumed in both cases to come almost exclusively from natural gas fired power

stations, similarly with the assumptions of the ‘energy efficiency scenario’ of the 2nd NEEAP.

With these assumptions we have ensured that the only effect simulated in the two different

model runs is the effect of different macroeconomic conditions on energy consumption.

Table 2 presents the additional energy savings that are expected to be attained in Cyprus up

to 2020 as a result of the April 2013 economic and financial adjustment programme. These

extra savings are calculated as the difference between the February 2013 and April 2013

projections. For illustrative purposes, the corresponding forecasts of the 2nd NEEAP of

Cyprus (conducted in year 2011) are also displayed in Table 2. National energy consumption

in 2020 is expected to decline by 12% in comparison to the previous forecasts – from 2409

ktoe to 2120 ktoe.
