Almost three in 10 people in Cyprus were living in homes with improved energy performance in 2025, according to Eurostat.
Data show that 28% of Cyprus’ population lived in a property where energy efficiency had been upgraded during the previous five years. This places Cyprus above the EU average of 23.9%.
Across the bloc, the Netherlands recorded the highest share at 60.5%, followed by Denmark with 34%, while France and Slovenia each stood at 33.3%. At the other end Italy recorded 2.6%, Malta 7.8%, and Greece 9.5%.
The figures also point to a significant difference in Cyprus between households facing financial hardship and those in a stronger economic position. Among people considered at risk of poverty or social exclusion, 16.7% lived in homes that had benefited from energy efficiency improvements. The rate for those not facing that risk was 30.3%, making Cyprus one of the EU countries with the largest gaps between the two groups.
Overall in the EU, 17.4% of people at risk of poverty or social exclusion reported living in homes with improved energy performance, compared with 25.6% among those not considered at risk.
