Egypt's Electricity Deal with Cyprus, Greece
Egypt’s electricity deal with Cyprus, Greece brightens energy outlook Egypt has signed an electricity interconnection framework agreement with Cyprus and Greece to establish a subsea cable called the EuroAfrica Interconnector linking the three countries. The agreement was signed on May 22 by EuroAfrica Interconnector Limited CEO Nasos Ktorides and chairman of the Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company Sabah Mohamed Mashal. According to the project developer, EuroAfrica Interconnector Limited, the 2,000-megawatt cable will be connected from Egypt to continental Europe via Cyprus, making Egypt an energy hub for Africa and link it to the European continent. The cable will run from Egypt to Cyprus, from Cyprus to Crete and from Crete to Attica in Greece. Ioannis Kasoulides, chairman of the Strategic Council of the EuroAfrica Interconnector, said in a statement following the signing ceremony, “With the historic signing agreement between EuroAfrica Interconnector and the Egyptian authorities, the first major electricity interconnection project linking Africa with Europe has been realized.” “Cyprus now becomes a major hub for the transmission of electricity from Africa to Europe, and Egypt establishes itself as a regional energy hub for the transmission of electricity from Africa to the Arabian peninsula,” Kasoulides stated, adding that with the signing of this agreement, Egypt’s national grid will be connected to Europe’s electricity system. “This historic project is of great importance to Egypt’s strategic plan for economic development and energy security, and the EuroAfrica Interconnector is connecting Egypt to the European electricity network through Cyprus. Egypt will be an important electricity and energy partner for the European Union,” Egyptian Minister of Electricity Mohamed Shaker told a press conference following the signing of the deal.

She is also the President of the informal Serbian Parliamentary Energy Policy Forum. „Serbia doesn’t have a budget developed enough to suddenly open its capacities through feed-in tariffs and state guarantees, or the electric power system, but we can do it gradually, with a long-term, strategic approach,“ Tomić said. How much are you satisfied with the support for green energy and energy efficiency in the 2016 budget? Unfortunately we still don’t have a proper feed-in tariff, as funds are scarce. On the other hand, we are unsatisfied because there are still no capacities installed. I think the new legislation on spatial planning and construction solved the problems which accumulated for years. I think activities will pick up soon, as permits are much easier to obtain.

October 2017 1
1 OCTOBER 2017 1 2 The EuroAsia Interconnector A Bridge of Friendship and Prosperity Unitizing Networks The EuroAsia Interconnector offers the creation of a reliable energy transfer alternative for Europe, extending the energy market beyond its borders. It is a major energy infrastructure project aiming to establish itself as one of the most ambitious interconnector schemes. Furthermore, being the first energy bridge between Europe and Asia it unifies electricity networks in the two continents. The electrical systems of Israel, Cyprus and Greece (via Crete) will be connected through sub-marine High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) cables of capacity in the order of 2000 MW. Voltage Source Converter (VSC) stations will be located in each terminal in order to aid in assimilating the power into the respective countries in the form of alternating current. The complexity resulting from the great depth and long distances as well as the nature of the link will put into practice the latest technological advancements when it comes to cable and electrical infrastructure developments. 2 3 Project History and Key Drivers The Perception of the Idea While the Mediterranean region displays a great diversity of cultures and populations it nevertheless is a place of convergence. Furthermore, the energy sector in this geographical area has a high degree of interdependence both for electricity and gas. It is thus incomprehensible for Cyprus to remain electrically isolated from the rest of the European Energy Network as an energy island, similar to Israel and Crete. Adding, the EU’s Renewable energy directive sets a binding target of 20% final energy consumption from renewable energy sources by 2020 and for that reason each member country has to adopt action plans for the implementation of changes to meet these targets.

His activities extend primarily beyond Cyprus and embrace the sectors of energy and banking. He founded the Commercial Bank of Greece in Cyprus and served for seven years in the position of Executive Vice-Chairman. Since the year 2000, he focuses on investments in the energy sector in Southeast Europe through strategic investments in hydroelectric and thermal units with five power plants of installed capacity 1422 MW connected to the Pan- European electric network. From the position of the CEO of EuroAsia Interconnector he has been actively working towards the strategic upgrade of Cyprus in the international energy arena. His business philosophy derives from the values of honesty, integrity, altruism, a systematic approach to work and, above all, from highlighting the positive, be this related to his colleagues or projects on which he works. Nasos Ktorides also believes that it necessary to reciprocate the gift of life with love towards our fellow human beings.

Cyprus: Energy Bridge Between Europe and Asia
PRESS RELEASE Historic Announcement Cyprus: Energy Bridge between Europe and Asia An underwater electric cable will link the countries of Israel, Cyprus and Greece. Thus, a golden age has been inaugurated in which Cyprus emerges as the first energy bridge between Europe and Asia. This was the momentous announcement notified by PPC - Quantum Energy at a gathering of technocrats, state officials and media representatives on Monday, January 23rd. This project, at an implementation cost of approximately €1.5 billion, is particularly attractive for the Republic of Cyprus since the full funding is assumed by PPC-Quantum Energy. The project will be amortized over a period of 1500 days from the day of operation, and revenue over the life of the project is expected to reach €17.5 billion. The 2000 MW capacity, the 540 nautical miles of cable length and the maximum depth of 2000 metres which it is expected to reach, render the whole venture the most far-reaching electrical connection in the world to date. "Israel, Cyprus, Greece. Three countries of our planet, all of whose welfare depends on the development of their energy potential," stated Mr. Nasos Ktorides, President of PPC-Quantum Energy, who subsequently announced the launch of the energy bridge under the distinctive name of “EuroAsia Interconnector”. Specifically, the cable will link Israel, Cyprus, Crete and the Peloponnese, providing a connection to the pan-European electricity grid. Thus, the three signatory countries gain energy efficiency and independence and the export of electricity to countries with a deficit on their energy balance. Member of the Board of Directors of PPC - Quantum Energy, Mr.
