Since mid-1990s, the EU has advanced a programme for the creation of a
liberalized market in energy (electricity and natural gas), which facilitates
commercial and household customers to buy power from the cheapest
supplier. According to the revised EU directives, in fully liberalized
markets, energy producers would be able to sell electricity and natural gas
across national borders through interconnections, increasing competition
and lowering energy prices. This is to force incumbent energy utilities to
become more efficient, encourage new entrants and investment and boost
economic growth across the entire EU. More recently, the debate on
energy objectives has grown to include security of supply, market
integration and socio-economic welfare benefits. In this lecture the
regulatory framework for both electricity and natural gas markets in Cyprus
will be presented. Progress regarding the opening of the Cyprus electricity
market including the harmonization with the EU electricity target model,
electricity tariffs regulation and the integration of renewable energy into the
market will be discussed. The development of Cyprus’s natural gas market
and future challenges will, also, be presented.
