UCy announces tender for photovoltaic park
07:00 - 29 August 2023
The University of Cyprus (UCy) has announced a tender for the development of the first phase of a photovoltaic (PV) park on its premises; the ‘Apollo’ project.
It follows the campus’ first PV park, ‘Phaedon’, that became operational in 2015 and is part of strategic planning to transform the university’s campus into a sustainable and ‘smart’ city’.
The ‘Apollo’ PV park is expected to produce 8.4 GWh of clean energy annually, which corresponds to 50% of the university’s current electricity needs.
The first phase includes the installation of PV panels with a power of 5 MWp as well as an energy storage system with a capacity of 2.35 MWh.
The new PV park, which will be the first large such installation in Cyprus, is expected to reduce the institution’s energy bills by around €2m and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 5,600 tons per year.
