Greece reaffirms its full support for the electrical interconnection project with Egypt
Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has announced the renewal of his country's strong support for the strategic electrical interconnection project between Egypt and Europe. This project is considered an important step toward enhancing energy cooperation between the two countries.
The project aims to transmit electrical energy generated from renewable sources in Egypt to the European continent via Greece. This initiative is part of a broader plan to strengthen energy security in the region and facilitate the exchange of resources between Mediterranean countries.
This confirmation comes within the framework of the strong and ongoing relations between Cairo and Athens, as both parties seek to leverage the significant potential Egypt possesses in clean energy production, particularly solar and wind energy.
It is expected that this electrical interconnection will contribute to reducing reliance on traditional energy sources and supporting the transition toward green energy in Europe, thereby enhancing Egypt's position as a pivotal regional hub for energy trading and export.
The Egyptian government continues to work on implementing this project in cooperation with international partners, as part of the state's strategy to develop energy infrastructure and achieve sustainable economic returns that serve the national economy.
