Michalis Damianos, Cyprus Minister for Energy, stresses that the Cypriot natural gas now being developed could start flowing to Europe as early as the spring of 2028, something that will help make the European continent more energy independent and also stabilise prices.
He also referred to the latest developments regarding Cyprus's electricity interconnection with Greece and the entry of the French company Meridiam, following the sustained interest shown by the French President Emmanuel Macron.
Natural gas 'as soon as March 2028'
European consumers can expect natural gas from an undersea field off Cyprus, which will help meet their energy needs as soon as March 2028, the island nation's energy minister has said.
Michalis Damianos said that the Eastern Mediterranean is rapidly emerging as an alternative source of energy for European countries, as Russia's war in Ukraine and turmoil in the Middle East force the continent to seek new supplies.
