| Abstract | This manuscript summarizes the use of geothermal energy in Cyprus. Cyprus is an electrically isolated island in the Southeastern Mediterranean Sea, being the easternmost member state of the European Union. Geothermal energy has been in use in Cyprus only during the last ten years. As there is no high or low enthalpy geothermal potential, the use of geothermal energy is restricted to ground source heat pump installations. Today there are about 170 installations with total estimated energy use of 19 GWh/a. |
