Overview
Cyprus's renewable energy stood at 15.60% in 2021, a rise of +0.60% from 2020. Cyprus ranked 117th globally.
Cyprus's progress in renewable energy has been gradual, with the country's reliance on non-renewable energy sources remaining significant. Since 1990, the share of renewable energy in Cyprus's energy mix has increased from a low of 0.30% in 1993 to a peak of 15.60% in 2021. Although this growth is modest, it is comparable to that of peer countries such as France, which has a slightly higher share of 16.20% in 2021, and West Bank and Gaza, which has a similar share of 15.40%. The upward trend in Cyprus's renewable energy share has been steady, with a notable increase in the past few years. However, the country still lags behind some of its European peers, such as Czechia, which has a significantly higher share of 17.20%. To accelerate its renewable energy growth, Cyprus would need to increase its investment in solar and wind power, as well as implement policies to encourage the adoption of electric vehicles and energy-efficient technologies.
