Cyprus Total Energy Consumption
In 2023, Cyprus had a consumption per capita of 1.8 toe, i.e., 36% below the EU average. Electricity consumption per capita was 3 900 kWh in 2023, 27% below the EU average.
Total energy consumption has remained stable since 2021 (2.2Mtoe). Previously, it had declined by 5.7%/year between 2008 and 2013 and rebounded by an average of 2.5%/year over 2013-2019.
Oil covers 85% of the country's needs, primary electricity (solar and wind) 8%, biomass 6%, and coal-lignite 1%. The share of oil has eroded slightly since 2010 (95%) to the advantage of biomass and electricity.

Cyprus Crude Oil Production
Since the closure of the Larnaca oil refinery in 2004 Cyprus has imported all its oil products. The refinery was transformed into an import terminal and a storage centre.
Since 2008, imports of oil products have declined by 1.4%/year to 2.5 Mt in 2023. Greece accounts for 27% of these imports, followed by Israel (20%) and Spain (15%) (2023).

Cyprus Renewable in % Electricity Production
The Cyprus Energy Agency is also in charge ofthe development of renewable energies.
The 2020 target of a 13% share of renewables in final energy consumption was exceeded, with 16.9%. The final NECP (2024) sets a target of 33% of renewables in final consumption by 2030. In 2023, this share reached 20.2% (20.9% for electricity, 42.7% for heating and cooling, and 7.3% for transport).

Cyprus CO2 Fuel Combustion/CO2 Emissions
Cyprus' final NECP targets a 32% reduction in GHG emissions by 2030 compared to 2005; according to scenarios highlighted in the NECP, GHG emissions could decline by up to 26% by 2030. Additional measures are necessary to fill the gap.
