Lebanon Weighs Cyprus Power Link

The project to establish a submarine electrical link between Lebanon and Cyprus involves creating an electrical connection with a capacity of up to 250 megawatts, with an initial cost estimated between $380 million and $415 million. The goal is to import electricity and improve Lebanon’s energy grid. This project is considered a strategic option, reflecting a shift in Lebanon's position within the regional energy system. It includes a feasibility study that assesses the technical and economic aspects and compares it with domestic alternatives, such as expanding renewable energy or upgrading the grid. The study also emphasizes the importance of demonstrating that the best choice is the one that offers the greatest national benefit at the lowest cost, while taking into account sovereign considerations—particularly regarding the connection with Israel—to ensure complete operational independence. This study is essential for making an informed decision that maximizes resource utilization and enhances Lebanon’s energy security and sovereignty.
