The authors report evidence that international tourism is a catalyst for energy consumption and for an increase in th. [pdf]
Cyprus has set out to attain a higher share of renewables, and this roadmap helps to assess op-timal investment strategies in the power sector. Solar PV and wind power will play a major role in the roadmap to 2030. Roadmap findings will play an important role to revise existing energy policies and develop new ones.
The number of photovoltaic systems in Cyprus rose by 66% in the year to July 2023, to over 45,000, with a capacity of 256 MW, the systems being used by each customer, including commercial, to reduce their electricity bill through an agreement of net-metering.
Cyprus is also characterized by an abundant solar energy resource across the whole year: the average global solar can reach 2000 kWh/m2. Wind energy is instead quite limited over the island of Cyprus, with an annual average wind speed below 4 m/s in the majority of areas.
In 2011 the Cypriot Energy Regulatory Authority (CERA) announced a number of steps aimed at facilitating development of photovoltaics in Cyprus. Among them is the large-scale application of net metering. CERA aims to reduce electricity prices for the households where net metering is applied, via fuel saving and carbon dioxide reduction.

Mexico’s National Power System (Sistema Eléctrico Nacional or SEN) is one of the largest in the Western Hemisphere. It is comprised of nine regions, plus a binational electricity system in Baja California. Most of the nine regions are interconnected, forming the National Interconnected System (Sistema Interconectado. . Key sub-sectors relevant for U.S. exporters include power generation, energy efficiency, distributed generation, energy storage technologies, and small-scale. . Mexico’s electrical power industry mainly offers opportunities for U.S. products, services, and technologies for energy efficiency, distributed generation, energy storage,. [pdf]

Decarbonization, Digitalization and Decentralization are considered the main key drivers for this power system transition and Brazil is no exception to this universal trend. A search of the literature revealed few studies which attempt to address the main challenges and opportunities towards a smart grid power system in Brazil.
Smart grids are expected to be at an intermediate level of development in Brazil by 2030 ( Carvalho, 2015 ). A disruptive project towards a smart grid power system has been recently proposed by a state-controlled electricity company in the country (in Portuguese, Companhia Paranaense de Energia – COPEL).
Smart metering is considered an emerging and under development technological system in Brazil. Currently, the use of smart metering is Brazil is restricted to pilot smart grid projects of specific distribution utilities. The deployment of smart meters is a fundamental step for the deployment of smart grids in Brazil.
Challenges and opportunities for a smart grid power system in Brazil are addressed. An inadequate net-metering system for DG may shift the costs from DG to non-DG users. The deployment of storage technologies is at a slow pace of growth. Regulation for electrical vehicles is still emerging.
This system was proposed by the Brazilian Electricity Regulatory Agency (ANEEL) in 2013, and it is regulated by the RN nº 547 ( ANEEL, 2013 ), although the starting point of its implementation is dated to 2015.
Summary and discussion It is well known that the global electricity sector has been witnessing a significant share of innovations together with a high increase in renewable energy, and Brazil is no exception. Decarbonization, Digitalization and Decentralization of the energy sector will be the main three key drivers of the power system evolution.
