Zypern (sonnigster Landkreis in der EU) hat im Juli zum ersten Mal Batteriespeicher angeschlossen, sechs Jahre hinter den meisten EU-Ländern. Lässt uns EAC im Stich?

>is eac letting us down
This isn’t due to eac.
Generally the govt (and EAC is a quango).
But geography has a lot to do with it also (the interconnector should help a lot). The second factor is Cypriot population doesn’t give 2 shits about the environment so it only became a big political issue when fuel got more expensive.
Whenever I hear someone from the government or the EAC talk about renewables the excuse is that our network can’t handle it. What the actual fuck are you doing the last two decades about the network? Even better, what the actual fuck are you doing today?
Is EAC letting us down?
Yes.
Cyprus’s solar legislation makes residential solar electric generation, direct use with battery storage, and grid connection really burocratically and financially unviable.
Too much bourocracy slow permit, and when you have solar and battery they in practice both disconnected from each other and connected to grid for Net-metering(utility barter).
The reason behind this is that when solar stores the electricity in a battery and only uses the grid infrequently, the grid loses more money plus need to drop capacity, even at night. And Cyprus doesn’t have peaker plants that it can open and close or use to regulate grid demand.
Just so we are clear. This battery is 1% of what is currently being curtailed. So 99 more to go.
We need flywheels FESS to stop closing our solar panels for Cyprus it’s probably the ideal solution until we connect to the rest of the world
