Cyprus and Lebanon are advancing their plans for an electrical interconnection, a project that aims to connect their power grids and enhance energy cooperation in the Eastern Mediterranean. On July 19, 2026, they submitted a joint request to the World Bank to assess the project's viability and provide initial funding. The request follows an agreement between the two countries' energy ministries, with Cypriot Energy Minister Michalis Damianos and Lebanese Energy Minister Joseph Al-Saddi signing a letter that outlines the terms of reference for a preliminary feasibility study.
The interconnection is seen as a strategically significant undertaking for both nations, potentially integrating Lebanon's electricity supply with the broader European grid. Discussions surrounding the feasibility study have indicated a mutual interest in bolstering energy collaboration and addressing regional energy challenges. The agreement represents a notable step forward considering the recent strengthening of relations between Cyprus and Lebanon, as they pursue a solution to enhance energy security and sustainability in the region.
