Finance ministry ‘absolutely refuses’ to pay for ‘frozen’ interconnector project

The finance ministry has “absolutely refused” to pay any money to Greece’s independent transmission system operator (Admie) for the Great Sea Interconnector project, on account of the fact that the project is “frozen”, according to reports on Friday.

News website Brief reported that the ministry’s permanent secretary Andreas Zachariades penned a letter to the energy ministry and to Cyprus’ transmission system operator (TSO) ahead of last week’s meeting of the House energy committee – the last before parliament’s summer recess.
