Renewable Energy Consumption: Cyprus

Analysis# Cyprus Renewable Energy Consumption Cyprus sourced 15.6% of its total energy from renewable sources in 2021, marking both its current level and all-time peak. This represents a dramatic shift from 1992, when renewables accounted for just 0.3% of consumption—a 3,020% increase over three decades. The upward trajectory accelerated significantly after 2010, when the share stood below 9%. The period from 2012 to 2019 saw steady but gradual growth, with renewable consumption climbing from 8.6% to 12%. A notable inflection point occurred between 2019 and 2020, when the share jumped to 15%, gaining 3 percentage points in a single year. This acceleration reflects Cyprus's intensified investment in solar and wind infrastructure. The stability of the 2021 figure at 15.6% suggests the country has established a new baseline, positioning renewables as a cornerstone of its energy mix moving forward.
