A feasibility study to use renewable energy and demand-side management to reshape the load curve of North Cyprus
In this paper a series of short-term policy measures that can lead to a 50% reduction in the annual energy demand increase (from the present 8% to about 4%) of N. Cyprus are presented and discussed. The proposed measures include public awareness campaigns, time-of-use metering for industrial/commercial consumers, and an energy audit program administered by the utility for residential, commercial and industrial customers. Electric space heating is identified as a large component of the peak demand. Most on-peak electrical heating originates in the domestic sector. One load management option identified for KIB-TEK, N. Cyprus`s state owned electric utility, is to promote gas heating. Other than space heating, water heating is the largest source of winter on-peak electricity usage.
