Context

What this means for procurement and projects

Derived from the items above — not a forecast.

Resuming the surveys is a precondition for laying and protecting the subsea cable and thus for connecting Cyprus to the European power grid.

The allocated capacity will require grid connections, substations and cables; according to the source, focal regions include Balıkesir, Sivas, Diyarbakır and Kahramanmaraş.
