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

(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.

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

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
