The State Department appears open to the possibility of an energy interconnection between Greece and Libya. As noted by a representative of the US State Department, the US generally continues to support projects that promote the energy interconnection of the Eastern Mediterranean and North Africa with Europe.

The US ministry clarifies that it places particular emphasis on electricity connections, as it believes that they help the energy transition process and enhance energy security.

The head of the National Oil Company of Libya, Farhat Bengdara, said that the country is considering the creation of two natural gas pipelines to Greece and the Egyptian city of Damietta.

Responding to a question from APE-MPE about the possibility of creating a pipeline that would connect Greece to Libya, a State Department representative said that “it is our long-standing belief that the development of resources in the Eastern Mediterranean should promote cooperation and to provide the foundation for sustainable energy security and economic prosperity across the region. In general, we continue to support energy projects that will physically connect vital energy markets, such as the Eastern Mediterranean and North Africa, with Europe, and in particular electricity interconnections that help prepare for the clean energy transition that enhances energy security and sustainability”.
