France Joins Greece–Cyprus GSI Power Link in Major Deal

France is set to take a major role in the Great Sea Interconnector (GSI), connecting Greece and Cyprus, with a large investment agreement expected to make a French infrastructure fund the majority shareholder. A separate arrangement will also cover key seabed survey work. The initiative is intended to end Cyprus’s energy isolation, integrate the island into Europe’s electricity network, and potentially extend further to Israel. The announcements underscore a new phase in the interconnector’s development.
