🇬🇧 𝗡𝗲𝘄𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆: '𝗡𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻' 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗖𝘆𝗽𝗿𝘂𝘀 𝗴𝗮𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗽𝗼𝗹𝘆: 𝗖𝘆𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱 | 𝗔𝗿𝗴𝘂𝘀 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮 There is "no reason" for the gas market monopoly given to state-owned Cygas to continue given sufficient private-sector interest in investing, the chief executive of construction and energy conglomerate Cyfield, George Chrysochos, has told Argus. Cyprus gave Cygas the monopoly thinking that it was the only feasible way to cover the large cost of developing the Vasilikos LNG import terminal, but the government has since been "extremely slow and inefficient in completing the terminal", Chrysochos said. And since 2019, private investors — notably regional producer Energean — have shown increasing interest in Cyprus' gas market, "indicating that there is no reason for the monopoly to exist", he said, adding that a competitive liberalised market would reduce the price of gas imports and therefore also domestic electricity production.

The mandate obliges gas producers and importers to buy biomethane or guarantee of origin certificates. National energy policy council CNPE will be responsible for setting the yearly target for the mandate, which will range from 1-10pc based on average domestic natural gas production and imports, excluding power demand, in the prior 10 years.
