July 26, 2020
Cyprus is now one step closer to lifting its energy isolation after issuing the final building permit to EuroAsia Interconnector for the construction of the high voltage direct current (HVDC) converter station in Cyprus to connect its electricity networks with Greece and Israel.
Energy Minister Natasa Pilides welcomed the development in a post on twitter, saying it was “an important development for Cyprus”.
According to a press release by the project developer, the issue of the permit to Siemens is the green light for the construction of the HVDC converter station.
