The Ministry of Energy, Trade and Industry, in the context of the implementation of the President's pre-election announcement for the redesign, optimization and digitization of the licensing procedures for Renewable Energy Sources (RES) projects, announces the operation of the online digital platform "Digital One Stop Shop", which is an action of the Recovery and Resilience Plan "Cyprus - Tomorrow" and concerns, in the first phase, the digital submission of applications for the licensing of renewable energy projects. The second phase, which is expected to be completed before the end of 2024, will enable the full digitalisation of procedures and electronic approvals of applications.
The aim of the new platform, with the electronic address https:/bfu.meci.gov.cy, is to facilitate both the information and service of investors and the licensing of projects.
The Ministry of Energy, Trade and Industry announced, at the end of May, as a first measure to implement the above commitments, the operation of the "One-Stop Service" for the licensing of RES projects, which is part of the Ministry's Business Facilitation Unit (BUU). As the investor's single point of contact throughout the entire licensing process, the responsibilities of the Single Service include, inter alia, information, coordination, guidance and facilitation of the entire administrative process for the licensing of renewable energy projects.
The ongoing technical assistance from the European Commission for the simplification of the licensing procedures for renewable energy projects is expected to contribute to the Government's efforts for a rapid transition to the green economy.
The ongoing technical assistance from the European Commission for the simplification of the licensing procedures for renewable energy projects is also expected to contribute to the Government's efforts for a rapid transition to the green economy. The stage of mapping/mapping of existing procedures and legislation between the various competent authorities has already been completed, while the first report is expected soon, which will consist of a series of recommendations to simplify the licensing procedures.
All the above actions will help to facilitate investors by reducing bureaucracy and licensing time for RES projects, as well as to achieve the new, more ambitious targets set in the National Energy and Climate Plan under review.
Applicants who have already secured the use of the parcel are invited to submit all necessary accompanying documents online at https:/res.bfu.meci.gov.cy/login, both for new and pending applications.
