The regulatory authorities of Greece and Cyprus expressed their support of the electricity link project between Greece, Cyprus and Israel (the Great Sea Interconnector) at a meeting in Athens on Thursday, where Greece’s Regulatory Authority for Waste, Energy and Waters (RAAEY) and the Cyprus Energy Regulatory Authority (CERA) met with the administration of the Independent Power Transmission Operator (ADMIE).
In a statement, ADMIE said that the discussion between the three sides was particularly constructive on the project, which is of strategic importance for all involved countries and the European Union.
It also noted that RAAEY and CERA requested to be fully updated on the project’s development, while they confirmed to ADMIE their support for the completion of the Great Sea Interconnector project.
They backed it up with letters of support to the European Commission for the renewed inclusion of the project in the lists of Projects of Common Interest and Projects of Mutual Interest (PCI/PMI).
It should be noted that the regular review of projects on the PCI/PMI list took place in Brussels on Thursday, at the 5th Meeting of Trans-European Networks for Energy (TEN-E) Regional Groups on the electricity and offshore categories.
