Minister of Energy: Our goal is to ensure a reliable energy supply

The Minister of Energy, Commerce and Industry, Michalis Damianou, presented the priorities of the Cypriot Presidency of the Council of the EU to accredited journalists. A key goal is to ensure a stable and reliable energy supply, as well as to promote a decentralized and digitized energy system, compatible with the climate and energy targets for 2030 and 2050. Cyprus is committed to affordable energy prices and strengthening cross-border infrastructure. In the industrial sector, the Presidency will promote legislative initiatives to accelerate decarbonization. The visual identity of the Presidency is inspired by traditional Cypriot embroidery, a symbol of community, diversity and unity, while the motto is “An autonomous Union, open to the world.”
