What's Happening with the Cyprus-Crete Cable?

The Cyprus-Crete cable, a significant electricity interconnection project, is facing delays and rescheduling. The French construction company Nexans has confirmed that a rescheduling is underway, without affecting its financial forecasts. The delay is due to technical revisions, political announcements, and geopolitical pressures, such as the recent harassment during fiber optic cable laying operations by a Turkish vessel. Despite the difficulties, the leaders of Greece, Cyprus, and Israel have reaffirmed their commitment to implementing the project, while Israel is moving towards the immediate implementation of the interconnection with Cyprus.
