The Risk-Preparedness Plan for Cyprus implements procedures and measures to reduce the possibility of electricity crises, where possible, and to mitigate the impact of crisis scenarios should they occur. These procedures and measures can be summarized into the following categories: • Prevention/minimization of the probability of total or partial system downtime. • Minimization of the probability of deficient generation adequacy. Preparing the system for high demand periods, when the system operates close to its stability limits, i.e., in the hot summer months • Arrangements for the emergency operation of the Cyprus National Energy Control Center (NECC) • Physical security and cyberspace measures.
