Licensing of Photovoltaic Parks

The licensing of photovoltaic parks in Cyprus is governed by a comprehensive legal and regulatory framework that aims to promote the development of renewable energy sources while ensuring environmental protection and grid stability. Key legislation includes the Promotion of the Use of Energy from Renewable Sources Law of 2013 and the relevant regulations issued by the Cyprus Energy Regulatory Authority (CERA) and the Electricity Authority of Cyprus (EAC).

Complying with these regulations requires a thorough understanding of the technical, legal, and environmental aspects involved in the development of photovoltaic parks. This is where the expertise of our team at Chambers & Co comes in, guiding you through each stage of the process.

The process of obtaining a license for a photovoltaic park in Cyprus involves several steps, including:

2. Environmental Impact Assessment: We will assist you in conducting the required Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) in line with the provisions of the relevant environmental legislation.
