The Cyprus Energy Regulatory Authority (CERA) representatives reported establishing a regulatory framework for energy storage in 2019, followed by market rules approval in 2021. The Cyprus Transmission System Operator has received 13 storage applications totaling 224 megawatts capacity, with eight applications processed and five under review.
Cyprus has significant potential to harness green energy at sea - for example, offshore wind energy, meaning through wind power plants at sea, or ocean energy. However, projects using these technologies have not yet been implemented in Cyprus.
The rest of the electricity supply in Cyprus is based exclusively on heavy fuel oil and diesel power plants, which are harmful to the environment and climate. There is also very limited space available to install photovoltaic and wind power plants.
Since 2024, gigawatt-hour projects have been commissioned or started construction in not only the US and China, but also Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Australia, Netherlands, Chile, Canada and the UK.
Mainland China accounts for most of the global energy storage demand, driven in the near term by regional requirements for new utility-scale wind and solar projects to include energy storage capacity. However, the Chinese market is entering an era of change.
However, as the US and Europe introduce related entry policies, battery companies are facing numerous international regulatory and legal challenges, making overseas expansion much more difficult.
(Yicai) July 18 -- Jiangsu Linyang Energy is planning to build energy storage facilities overseas, with Southeast Asia, Europe and the Middle East identified as the Chinese smart energy company's three key regions for international growth. Of them, Europe is the priority market, the firm's vice chairman told Yicai in a recent interview.
Since last year, leading Chinese battery companies such as CATL, Gotion High-Tech, EVE Energy, Envision AESC, Farasis Energy, and REPT have accelerated their steps to "go global."
In light of global market uncertainties, lithium battery companies are also beginning to seek diversified overseas expansion paths. CATL adopts a dual approach of "light and heavy assets" to actively expand overseas. CATL has built and is planning or constructing a total of eight factories overseas.
For energy storage, the new Chinese policy emphasized the need to remove energy storage as a prerequisite for renewable energy project grid connection, a requirement that has been a major driver for battery build. Nonetheless, BNEF still expects strong demand for batteries, as the policy doesn't explicitly require mandates to stop.
