EastMed Pipeline
A proposed 1,900 km subsea pipeline from Eastern Mediterranean gas fields to Greece via Crete and onward to Italy. As of 2026 the project is effectively dormant — no final investment decision has been taken and it remains stalled by prohibitive cost and financing challenges, though it has not been formally cancelled. Cyprus's export strategy has shifted toward routing gas to Egypt for liquefaction.
