The Minister of Energy, Commerce, Industry and Tourism has authorised through the Electricity Law (article 38-(1) and (4B) to issue guidelines to CERA (Cyprus Energy Regulatory Authority) in order to implement certain policies. 

• Establish a framework for easier permitting of stand-alone PV up to 10 MW; 
• the procedure of permitting should be easy and should involve interested parties to perform installations according to framework defined by CERA and notify CERA after the installation and operation.
