US Secretary of State MarcoRubio affirmed the United States’ support for a €1.9 billion undersea power cable project in the eastern Mediterranean. The project, spearheaded by Greece's power grid operator IPTO, intends to connect the European mainland with Cyprus and, eventually, Israel. Development has been hindered by ongoing disagreements between Greece and Turkey regarding the maritime zone required for cable laying. Rubio stated the US will leverage diplomatic channels to address and potentially resolve these obstacles. This initiative aims to enhance energy connectivity in the region and bolster Europe’s energy infrastructure. The project represents a significant investment in the eastern Mediterranean’s energy future, contingent on overcoming the existing geopolitical challenges. The US commitment signals a strategic interest in the project’s success.
