FLOATING SOLAR PV COVER, PROJECT – MONI RESERVOIR
Project Overview
- In June 2017, the Cyprus Water Development Department awarded Benecke – Kaliko AG (member of the renowned German colossus Continental AG) and Aerotricity, the installation of a PV solar floating cover on the surface of a reservoir in the outskirts of Limassol
- The cover helps not only to have better water quality and preservation but also through a thin PV film that is laminated on top, generates electricity for self-consumption and use. The innovative, patented technology allows water storage and self-sustainable electric power production. Advantages also include improved water quality, reduced levels of water evaporation, salt precipitation and the growth of algae,
- The above application is the first in a worldwide commercial scale and is visited by many interested parties from all over the world.
425kWp BIPV – ELECTRICITY AUTHORITY CYPRUS HQ

Project Overview
- In the context of EAC’s planning with regard to using Renewable Energy Sources (RES), a 425kW photovoltaic (PV) system has been installed at the Authority’s Head Offices in Amphipoleos Street, Strovolos, Nicosia.
- The system consists of three components, installed on the curved roof of the building, on the sunshades on the south-facing wall and in the Customer Service Centre car park respectively.
- Despite the technical complexity of the project and the restrictions in force due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the project was completed within the stipulated timeframe.
- The whole system was designed with a view to its being harmoniously incorporated into the building and able to support its functionality. EAC customers can now enjoy better service thanks to the covered parking area, while the sunshades contribute to covering the building’s energy requirements. The PV system is expected to cover the 40% of the total annual consumption of EAC’s Head Offices.
50kW BESS – UNIVERSITY OF CYPRUS NANOGRID
Read More:
Project Overview
- Ecotricity Holdings Ltd, in cooperation with FOSS Research Centre, has built the first hybrid nanogrid system in Cyprus on the campus of the University of Cyprus.
- The project features a 40 kWp building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) system, combined with 66 kWh (60 kW) of energy storage capacity, a 21 kW EV charging station, and an energy management system.
- A key feature of the pilot is the seamless transition from a grid connected mode to an islanding mode of operation.
- This is the first time that an islanded system has been put into operation in Cyprus. The battery inverter is equipped with grid-forming capabilities and can ensure that critical loads are supplied with power without interruption (power from batteries and PV system) in case of a contingency or external signal triggering.
80kWh COMMUNITY ENERGY STORAGE – UNIVERSITY OF CYPRUS
Project Overview
- After a public tender, the University of Cyprus assigned the Aerotricity-Autarsys consortium the implementation of the first ever pilot projects for renewable energy storage systems (ESS) – for both domestic (5 units of 3-5kWp PV systems were installed in pre-selected houses and 1 community system was connected to a Substation where 30 households were connected – half of them had already installed a PV system).
- ESS increase RES reliability, performance, and competitiveness of electricity generation and transmission to the electric grid. Further they also help in stabilizing the Grid.
- Based on the advanced Li- Ion battery technology the system installed guarantees 24/7 power supply.
- The 2 UCY projects were successfully installed and commissioned in early 2018.
- Aerotricity is the exclusive representative of Autarsys products in Cyprus, Greece, Israel and in other Middle East countries.
30kWh ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM – NEW NICOSIA MUNICIPALITY BUILDING
Project Overview
- After a careful selection FOSS Research Centre for Sustainable Energy of the University of Cyprus assigned Aerotricity Ltd the implementation of the first public building project for energy storage systems (ESS) – Community ESS with a capacity of 30kWh.
- The first ever PV + BESS Hybrid system to be installed in Cyprus targeting Nearly Zero Energy Buildings – nZEBs. NZEBs are characterized by reduced net-energy demand, where most of their energy needs are met by renewable energy sources, especially Photovoltaics. Systems. NZEBs is considered in Europe today to be one of the most promising solutions to be implemented.
765kWp PV PROJECT – CYPRUS TELECOMMUNICATIONS AUTHORITY
Project Overview
- PV project recently awarded for the implementation of PV systems with total capacity of 765kWp in 5 different sites owned by CYTA, the Cyprus Telecommunications Authority, in roof-mounted and open-field
installations. - The scope of the project consists of the supply, delivery, installation, commissioning, testing, operation and maintenance of complete photovoltaic (PV) systems producing electricity and utilized according to
the self-consumption scheme for a period of (15) years.
10 FAST EV CHARGING STATIONS IN PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE AREAS
Project Overview
- Ecotricity Holdings Ltd has recently awarded a public tender for Electromobility
- The project concerns the supply, installation, maintenance and concession of operation of ten (10) fast charging stations for electric vehicles in publicly accessible areas.
- The fast EV charging stations will be installed in the following areas:
Nicosia General Hospital Parking
Larnaca Area Parking (near Mall and Larnaca General Hospital)
Khirokitia Archaeological Site Parking
Famagusta Hospital Health Center Parking
Limassol General Hospital Parking
Trimiklini Church Parking
Troodos – Kyperounta General Hospital Parking
Troodos Square Parking
Tombs of the Kings Avenue Station Parking – Paphos
Polis Chrysochous Avenue Station Parking
60kWp PV & 100kWh ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM – CYPRUS PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Read More:
Project Overview
- Cyprus Public Transport (CPT) and Ecotricity join forces in making Cyprus’ public transport greener. An agreement was signed at the CPT offices by Mr Christos Konomis, Director of Ecotricity and Julio Tironi, CEO of CPT, where both parties will work on the ongoing “EMS4PVBEV” (“Advanced AI-Driven Energy Management System for Photovoltaic-Powered and Battery Integrated Electric Vehicle Charging Stations”) project.
- This initiative aims to help CPT in transitioning towards a more sustainable future and promoting green energy by developing a next-generation energy demand management solution for renewable-powered and battery-integrated electric vehicle charging stations.
- The “EMS4PVBEV” project represents a dynamic partnership between the PV Technology Laboratory at the University of Cyprus (UCY), Cyprus Public Transport Services and Operations Ltd (CPT), and Ecotricity. The project was launched on 1 July 2024, and is set to last for 18 months.
