In April 2020, EuroAfrica Interconnector selected Siemens as the preferred EPCI contractor to build the HVDC VSC converter stations for the Egypt-Cyprus section of the 2,000 MW interconnector, following direct negotiations. The selection was publicly confirmed by September 2020 after securing the final building permit from Cyprus authorities for the converter station site.
