Wind farms in Cyprus produced extra power on Wednesday when the pressure was as excessive as 9 Beaufort than the Cyprus Electrical energy Authority did on that day, Philenews reported on Thursday.
Specifically, wind generators produced 304 megawatts (MW) which corresponds to 52% of whole manufacturing in comparison with 274 megawatts – that’s 48% – produced by the EAC.
At midnight on Tuesday, that’s, hours earlier than Wednesday’s sturdy winds started to blow, the wind farms produced 22 megawatts of power. This corresponds to solely 6% of the whole 380 megawatts produced at the moment to fulfill demand.
In the meantime, there are considerations that whereas functions for the set up of photovoltaic items with a capability of about 750 megawatts are pending, a reduce has already been imposed on current items with a capability of 150 megawatts.
And all this although Cyprus hopes to spice up its share of renewable power to 23 % by 2030 as a part of its Nationwide Power and Local weather Plan.
However specialists spotlight {that a} shift to inexperienced energy faces many hurdles, the first one being that renewable energies are unpredictable.
Cyprus doesn’t have a close-by nationwide energy community that may at current bail them out in an emergency.
