Project on Hold for Electricity Interconnection Between Greece and Cyprus
Published
A major electricity interconnection project that will connect Greece with Cyprus remains on hold. The authorities have not yet granted permission for work to resume.
The project envisages linking the electricity grids of the two countries via a cable that will run under the sea. To continue the preparations, a French research vessel is needed, which is currently on standby. The vessel would carry out surveys at sea, but the start of the work depends on the approval of the authorities.
The interconnection is considered important for both countries, as it will allow the transfer of electricity between them. Cyprus, as is well known, has fewer energy connections with other countries compared to Greece, and for this reason the project is of great importance for its energy future.
So far, it has not been announced when the necessary permit will be granted and when work will restart. Developments will be followed with interest, as the project directly concerns Greece's energy strategy.
