Türkiye plans natural gas pipeline to Turkish Cyprus by 2028
Türkiye will build a natural gas pipeline extending to Turkish Cyprus, with the project expected to become operational in 2028, Turkish Energy and Natural Resources Minister Alparslan Bayraktar has announced.
“We are working on two major projects to meet the energy needs of Northern Cyprus,” Bayraktar told private broadcaster A Haber over the weekend.
“One of them is the establishment of an electricity transmission line between Türkiye and the island, while the other is a natural gas pipeline project.”
Bayraktar noted that Turkish Cyprus still relies on fossil fuels for electricity generation, adding that Ankara is accelerating new energy investments in a bid to reduce environmental impacts and strengthen supply security.
