Cyprus And Lebanon Move To Advance Long-Planned Electricity Interconnection

July 14, 2026

Cyprus and Lebanon are taking a significant step toward a long-discussed electricity interconnection project that could reshape energy links across the eastern Mediterranean.

Formal Request To The World Bank

According to reliable information, the two governments are expected to sign a joint letter within days requesting World Bank financing for an undersea electricity interconnection. The move marks the transition from political discussions to a formal international funding process.

From Feasibility Study To Strategic Project

Nicosia and Beirut jointly approached the World Bank at the end of 2025 to prepare a feasibility study for the proposed project. The study is expected to examine technical feasibility, potential tariffs and the project’s commercial viability, all key factors in determining whether the interconnection can move forward.

Beyond creating a physical link between the two countries, the project could strengthen energy security, improve regional integration and expand access to wider electricity markets.

Possible Connection Point In Zouk

Lebanon’s Energy Minister Joe Saddi said in April that the most likely connection point would be the Zouk area.

He added that, if the project proceeds, Cyprus could eventually connect to the wider European electricity grid, creating a potential route for Lebanon to access the same network.

Such a development would extend the project’s importance beyond bilateral cooperation, positioning Cyprus as a potential energy bridge between the Middle East and Europe while giving Lebanon a stronger connection to the European electricity system.

A Broader Diplomatic And Energy Context

The initiative follows another milestone in relations between the two countries. On November 26, 2025, Cyprus and Lebanon signed a landmark agreement delimiting their Exclusive Economic Zones, strengthening the legal framework for closer cooperation in the eastern Mediterranean.

Taken together, the two initiatives suggest that energy, infrastructure and diplomacy are becoming increasingly interconnected as both countries seek to deepen regional cooperation and improve long-term energy security.
