May 4, 2022
Cyprus is targeting first natural gas exports by 2026 via the “Aphrodite” gas field, Minister of Energy, Commerce and Industry Natasa Pilides has said.
Speaking after a hearing of the parliamentary committee of Commerce, Pilides said there are many options concerning natural gas infrastructures, one of which is a pipeline connecting the Cypriot gas fields with Egypt, either a joint pipeline with Israeli gas fields or separately.
Pilides also said that there were in advanced contacts with companies that own pipelines from various gas fields to the Egyptian natural gas infrastructure and the contractor companies, as they also should be engaged in the talks with a view to developing the infrastructure within the timeframe, that is three to four years.
