Short description

Cyprus has set itself the target of saving at least 20% of its current energy consumption by 2020, in line with the European Union's guidelines. To accomplish this goal, the Cypriot Ministry of Energy, Commerce, Industry and Tourism strengthens its effort in implementing the Energy Efficiency Directive (Directive 2012/27/EU) and the Directive on the Energy Performance of Buildings (Directive 2010/31/EU).
