In June 2019, EuroAfrica Interconnector concluded a 33‑year land lease agreement for the site of its HVDC converter station in Cyprus. The agreement was formally signed at the Cyprus Ministry of Energy, Commerce and Industry, securing the long-term land rights needed to develop the onshore converter infrastructure that will connect the subsea interconnector to the Cypriot grid. This lease is a key preparatory step for constructing the Cypriot converter station associated with the EuroAfrica Interconnector’s Egypt–Cyprus–Greece electricity link.
