What happened

Well supportedReported by 4 independent outlets

Italian energy group Eni signed contracts worth up to $1.8 billion to build the infrastructure required to develop the Kronos natural gas field inside Cyprus’s Exclusive Economic Zone. Eni’s partner is French group TotalEnergies, and the project aims to commercialize Cypriot natural gas via Egypt. Exports to international markets and Europe are expected to begin once production starts, which is currently scheduled for 2028.
