Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides met with senior executives of Abu Dhabi National Energy Company (TAQA).energy) Yesterday in New York, where Christodoulides is participating in the United Nations General Assembly, according to Reuters.
“The company’s representatives confirmed TAQA’s strong interest in the electricity interconnection project,” Cypriot government spokesman Constantinos Letimpiotis said in a statement.
He said that representatives of the two sides agreed to hold a meeting in the coming weeks to develop a roadmap for the next step.
Greece and Cyprus have agreed to lay a high-voltage cable, which would ease the island’s energy isolation, which still relies on heavy fuel oil to generate electricity.
