The National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) is a ten-year integrated document <a href="https://ec.europa.eu/energy/topics/energy-strategy/national-energy-climate-plans_en" target="_self">mandated by the European Union</a> to each of its member states in order for the EU to meet its overall greenhouse gases emissions targets. Following feedback from an EU-wide assessment of draft NECP submissions, EU members are required to submit updated final NECPs for the period 2021-2030.
The plan establishes 'key policy planning priorities' with specific measures: 1) GHG emissions and removals: promotion of natural gas and RES, reduction of emissions in the transport, agricultural and waste sector, increasing carbon sinks and improving energy efficiency in building and infrastructure; 2) Renewable energy sources : promotion of synergies with other sectors (Energy Efficiency, Waste, Security of supply) to promotion RES in all energy sectors, support schemes for RES to participate in the Electricity Market, etc; 3) Energy efficiency: energy efficiency obligation scheme for energy distributors, implementation of information and education measures, etc; 4) Security of supply: increasing the flexibility of the national energy system; 5) Internal Energy market: promotion of electricity interconnectivity of Cyprus via the project of common interest EuroAsia Interconnector, etc. Specific targets include a 32% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, from a 2005 baseline, and a renewables share by 2030 of at least 29% in the primary energy consumption of the transport sector.
