The government is preparing a new scheme for household photovoltaics, expected to be announced by April. The new Minister of Energy, Michalis Damianou, revealed that the scheme will include the installation of energy storage batteries in conjunction with photovoltaics. The exact budget and grant criteria have not yet been announced, but the minister mentioned the state's intention to consider solutions in case the available amount is exhausted. This new scheme follows the previous 'Photovoltaics for All' program and aims to further promote the use of renewable energy sources in households.
