Exploring the Political Dynamics of the Mediterranean Interconnector Projects

Emine Eminel Sülün delves into the political dynamics surrounding crucial Eastern Mediterranean interconnector projects. It highlights the importance of initiatives like the EuroAsia and EuroAfrica Interconnector in ensuring a secure and sustainable electricity supply for the region. These projects are particularly addressing the isolation of Cyprus' and Israel's electricity grids. While they serve energy security purposes, the paper suggests that these interconnectors should be part of a larger vision for an interconnected Mediterranean power system, promoting a low-carbon regional energy framework beyond geopolitical faultiness.
