Nicosia

Cyprus Energy Community

The Cyprus demo aims to transform the University of Cyprus campus into a fully functional Renewable Energy Community, integrating rooftop PV systems, battery storage, smart meters, EV chargers, and digital monitoring tools. Its focus is on demonstrating how large institutions can transition towards energy independence, reduce grid dependence, and coordinate multiple buildings as a unified REC. SOCIAREM tests inverter control strategies, real-time optimisation tools, and digital interfaces designed to visualise consumption patterns and enhance decision-making. The site also provides a controlled environment to model microgrid behaviour, explore flexibility services, and evaluate how students, staff, and building managers engage with energy data through educational tools.
