The European Commission has begun discussions regarding the installation of the bi-communal solar power plant envisaged to be built on the island.

The results of the pre-feasibility study supported by the European Union on the installation of the power plant, which will be the first on the island, were discussed at a meeting with representatives of both communities, chaired by Mario Nava, Director General for Structural Reform Support of the European Commission.

According to a statement released by the European Commission, Director General Nava, in his speech at the meeting, pointed out that the project in question has great potential.

He noted that the project could bring the two communities closer together, promote greater cooperation on energy and help achieve the EU’s “Green Deal” objectives.

“This project comes at a time when the new United Nations representative is looking for common ground between the two communities. I therefore encourage the communities to agree on all the details as soon as possible so that the project can move to the next stage” said Nava.
