(MENAFN)Linking Israel’s electricity grid with other regional economies is considered a move to improve energy security for the entire Middle East, according to Israeli energy minister.
During the CERA Week online meeting of global energy industry leaders, Israeli energy minister Yuval Steinitz announced his declaration, where his counterparts from the UAE and Egypt were also speaking.
He further stated that “The connection with Egypt and the Emirates and the regional cooperation give us the assurances that we will be able to increase energy security in the future.”
“Just one example, if we will be able to connect our electricity transmission systems between Egypt, Israel, the United Arab Emirates — and maybe through Jordan and Saudi Arabia — and we are also discussing connecting ourselves and this region to Europe through Cyprus and Greece, this would give us better energy security than we ever knew in the past.”
