Cyprus to Launch Tenders for Solar Battery Storage Facilities

While Cyprus aims to boost renewable energy to 33% of its grid by 2030, up from 19% currently, challenges such as limited storage and an ageing infrastructure hinder rapid progress. The government is preparing to address this by launching tenders for solar battery storage facilities in the coming weeks.
