An understanding framework for the promotion of the Cyprus-Crete Electrical Interconnection was signed on Friday evening between Greek Minister of Environment and Energy Theodoros Skylakakis and Cypriot Minister of Energy, Commerce and Industry Georgios Papachristoudis.

According to a joint announcement from the energy ministries of both countries, the signing followed a recent meeting in Athens between Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides.

The project is expected to commence in the coming days. As noted in the Understanding Framework, the Cyprus-Crete Electrical Interconnection will help eliminate Cyprus’s energy isolation by connecting the national electricity transmission system of Cyprus to the corresponding trans-European systems.

The announcement emphasized that this project is of strategic importance for Cyprus, Greece and the entire EU. It will link Cyprus to Europe’s electrical grid, facilitating its energy transition while also supporting Greece’s goal of becoming a corridor for clean energy transportation.
