After Impact of 5% RUE
& 6% RES (GWh)
The gross demand will be reduced because as a consequence of the energy saving
programmes (RUE) and renewable energy sources (RES).
Notional targets for the contribution of energy efficiency measures are set for all Member
States in the Energy End-Use Efficiency and Energy Services Directive (Directive
2006/32/EC of 27th April 2006). Cyprus has set the indicative targets of 5% contribution of
RUE to electricity demand up to 2010. It is assumed that for the period until 2015 the same
increase will be achieved.
The potential contributions of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) have already been defined
by the Cyprus Energy Service. These figures are consistent with the report that Cyprus has
submitted to the EC on the implementation of the Directive on the Promotion of Electricity
from Renewable Energy Sources (2001/77/EC) up to 2010, indicates a target of 6% for the
contribution of RES to electricity demand in 2010. It is assumed that for the period until 2015
the same increase will be achieved.
