Summary sheet
The project will finance the construction of Liquefied Natural Gas import, regasification, storage and pipeline infrastructure.
The aim is to introduce natural gas to Cyprus. The project is a critical component of the country's energy strategy in line with the EU regulations. It will introduce for the first time natural gas with a view to enable the country to enhance its energy security, reduce cost of energy, whilst at the same time meeting its energy mix objectives and reduce CO2 and other air pollutant emissions.
The project will require an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) in line with EIA Directive 2011/92/EU.
The promoter is required to tender works, supplies and services contracts following procurement rules of relevant national and EU legislation, as defined by Directive 2014/25/EU, including publication in the Official Journal of the EU where appropriate.
