Building Blue Energy networks to combat energy poverty

In the city of Paphos, the Cyprus Energy Agency organized a festival of Blue Energy, which refers to the generation of electricity through the exploitation of the chemical and physical properties of water. The event was organized as part of the implementation of the European Blue Deal project, in which the Energy Agency participated as a partner.

The Blue Deal
The Blue Deal project (Blue Energy Deployment Alliance) aims to increase transnational activity of innovative clusters and networks of the Blue Energy sector, develop links and synergies between small and medium-sized enterprises, public authorities, knowledge institutions and civil society, and establish transnational and regional Blue Deal Alliances. This project creates a favourable environment for Blue Energy investments and sustainable development in the Mediterranean economy. With a budget of 2.8 million euros and 32 months of work ahead, Blue Deal integrates 12 partners from 6 countries and 9 different regions around the Mediterranean.

Through the Blue Deal project, The Cyprus Energy Agency envisions to increase transnational activity of networks, develop synergies between other organisations, public authorities, and civil society establishing new technologies. Their vision is to actively contribute to the saving of energy resources, the protection of the environment and the quality of life.
