How this pillar score is derived

Each value is converted to a metric score using its published reference band. The metric scores are then combined according to their relative weights.

Absolute reference bands · version 1.0.0 · in force from 7 Aug 2026

Industrial electricity price

EN-01.1 · Lower is better

25.3/100
Raw value
0.2868 €/kWh
Reference band
0.1000 €/kWh → 0.3500 €/kWh
Relative weight
3.0/5.0
Pillar contribution
15.2 / 100

Worked equation

100 × (0.3500 − 0.2868) ÷ (0.3500 − 0.1000) = 25.28

Eurostat · · 31 Dec 2025

Why this reference band?

We set the floor at the lowest industrial tariff on offer in the EU single market, because that is the price industrial buyers in Cyprus are competing against. We set the ceiling at the price above which compute-intensive work becomes cheaper to run in another country, even after allowing for the added network delay.

Renewable share of electricity

EN-02.1 · Higher is better

39.3/100
Raw value
27.5 %
Reference band
0.0 % → 70.0 %
Relative weight
2.0/5.0
Pillar contribution
15.7 / 100

Worked equation

100 × (27.5 − 0.0) ÷ (70.0 − 0.0) = 39.29

Eurostat · · 31 Dec 2025

Why this reference band?

We set the ceiling at 70%, roughly the share of renewable electricity implied across the EU by the 2030 target in the Renewable Energy Directive. We chose it so that the metric can be compared across countries; the Republic of Cyprus has not adopted it as a target.

Final weighted average

round((25.2800 × 3.0 + 39.2857 × 2.0) ÷ 5.0) = 31

Exact result 30.88; published score 31/100. The calculation uses unrounded metric scores. The final weighted average is rounded to the nearest whole number.

Each bar shows the difference as a share of the metric’s reference band, so metrics in different units can be compared. The labels give the difference in each metric’s own unit.
