The generation mix of Cyprus has been dominated by oil products for decades. In order to conform with European Union and international legislation, a transformation of the supply system is called for. Energy system models can facilitate energy planning into the future, but a large volume of data is required to populate such models. The present data article provides information on key modelling assumptions and input data adopted with the aim of representing the electricity supply system of Cyprus in a separate research article. Data in regards to renewable energy technoeconomic characteristics and investment cost projections, fossil fuel price projections, storage technology characteristics and system operation assumptions are described in this article.

-Policies in the sectors of heating and cooling, and transport need a stronger focus to achieve the EU 2020 and 2030 renewable share targets. -There is scope to introduce policy measures supporting Renewable Energy Sources (RES) in the transport sector (RES-T) such as a single binding legislative framework at the EU level while allowing differentiated support for efficient biofuels, green certificates as well as the uptake of electric and hydrogen mobility -In addition to setting overall targets the EC can play a role in monitoring retroactive measures at the Member States (MS) level, develop clear sustainability criteria to support bioenergy, and ensure that MS RES policy packages are consistent with the internal energy market -Costs of ancillary services such as balancing reserves will need to be distributed fairly between network operators and end-users across national borders as the EU moves towards an common internal energy ...
