Ongoing Projects/Project Status

• The Energy Centre will be built on the south coast of Cyprus, at a distance of 25Km east of Limassol, in the area formerly occupied by the Hellenic Chemical Industries fertiliser manufacturing facility. This area was considered as the most appropriate for the erection of storage and distribution facilities for petroleum products, as well as for the establishment of a receiving and storage terminal for LNG, due to its location and nature. Initially, natural gas will be mainly used by the nearby Power Station of the Electricity Authority of Cyprus (EAC) for power generation; hence the site chosen for locating the Energy Centre borders the aforesaid Power Station.

The terminal is expected to be operational by 2014
