01
Fair grid access
Transparent connection processes, equal treatment of all producers, and the conditions needed for long-term investment certainty.
ABOUT
One voice for a mature industry.
Renewable generation is no longer an emerging technology in Cyprus. It is national infrastructure. SHAPEC is the collective voice of the producers — independent businesses acting together as one mature sector to build a reliable, fair and competitive electricity system.
PURPOSE
"To further promote renewable energy systems (RES) and electricity-storage systems (ESS) as sources and methods that support ecology, sustainable and green development, and the environmental needs of the country, while serving at the same time the need to produce and supply electricity."
What "national infrastructure" means.
Renewable generation in Cyprus is no longer an experimental component of the system. It is a mature, capital-intensive part of national electricity infrastructure, developed by independent companies and funded by private capital and European instruments.
Electricity storage is now joining renewable generation to reduce curtailments and support system adequacy, stability and a working market.
SHAPEC brings together producers and storage operators in one shared position — a clear, evidence-based voice addressing government, CERA, the system operators, investors, the media and the public.
