Derived from the items above — not a forecast.
If the project moves ahead, seabed surveys and financing steps follow, creating demand for cable, grid and engineering services between Crete and Cyprus.
Additional European HVDC manufacturing changes the supply situation for subsea cables, giving grid and interconnector projects another sourcing option.
The agreements bring construction of a 280 km offshore pipeline closer, creating demand for pipe, installation and related infrastructure in the Cyprus–Egypt corridor.
