The Great Sea Interconnector, including its Crete–Cyprus section, has been designated by the European Union as a Project of Common Interest (PCI), placing it on the official PCI list of cross‑border electricity infrastructure. This status, noted in multiple sources, underpins substantial Connecting Europe Facility support for the Greece–Cyprus segment and formally recognises the interconnector’s strategic role in integrating Cyprus and Israel with the European grid.
