Few words about the Cyprus Energy Agency The Cyprus Energy Agency was established in 2009 with the support of the European Commission through the Intelligent Energy Europe programme and the Cyprus Union of Communities Promotion of Renewables Promotion of energy efficiency Promotion of sustainable transport Local Sustainable Energy Planning
Location and Staff The Cyprus Energy Agency is located in Nicosia the capital of Cyprus CEA staff 6 people, while when was established were employed only 3
Introduction The European Union has focused interest on security of energy supply, energy reserves, environmental protection, competitiveness of European economy and the local/regional development 20-20-20 targets Nowadays, approximately the 50% of the energy needs of member states is covered by imported energy. In Cyprus this percentage is 96%. The energy consumption in member states is being increased approximately 1-2% every year. This trend will increase CO 2 emissions on 2030 by 18% (compared to 1990)!
Electricity generation forecast for Cyprus According to the TSO Cyprus forecast until 2016 the produced electrical energy in Cyprus will exceed the 8.000.000 MWh. Increase approximately 2% per year
Green Paper: Lighting the Future Based on recent Green Paper: Lighting the Future, accelerating the deployment of innovative lighting technologies, COM (2011) 889, the European Commission recognizes the large amount of energy spent at EU level lighting, which amounts to 14% of total energy consumption in the EU. Proposes the creation of several initiatives to develop a policy on the subject of lighting to increase energy efficiency in street lighting. Also, the "Green Paper widespread reports on the progress of LED technology studies show that in 2020 occupied 70% market lighting technologies.
Energy Efficiency Directive In the recent Directive on Energy Efficiency 2012/27/EU, requires (by decision of the Member State) energy distribution utilities to achieve cumulative annual savings in final energy use equal to at least 1.5% energy they sell, from 2014 to 2020.

Existing situation in street lighting The electricity consumption for street lighting does not exceed the 2% of the total electricity consumption at the local and national level, it is a priority for local authorities which pay annually significant amount (5-10%) of their annual budget for operation and maintenance of street lighting. The total consumption of electricity for street lighting in the 16 Local Authorities in 2011 was 28.868.713 kwh at a cost of 5.815.919.
Local Authorities Commitments "Covenant of Mayors : commitment to exceed the EU objective to reduce CO2 emissions by 20% by 2020. (www.eumayors.eu) "Pact of Islands : Local authorities have introduced to the islands political obligation to help achieve sustainability goals of the European Union for the year 2020. (www.islepact.eu).
Local Authorities Commitments Local authorities from Cyprus that have signed either the "Covenant of Mayors" or the "Pact of Islands" or both, have developed in collaboration with the Cyprus Energy Agency, Sustainable Energy Action Plans and implement measures to achieve sustainability goals by 2020. The most important measure included in the action plans of local authorities is the upgrading of the street lighting with a two-fold target to save energy, reduce carbon emissions, but also reduce their energy costs.
