鲁比奥向《卡西梅里尼报》表态：美国坚定支持东地中海海底电力互联，将以外交手段扫除障碍
雅典——美国国务卿鲁比奥在希腊《卡西梅里尼报》（Kathimerini）10月8日刊出的专访中表示，美国坚定支持东地中海海底电力互联项目，并将运用外交努力为项目扫除障碍。据路透社报道，鲁比奥称，能源供应多元化对美国十分重要，既因为俄罗斯对乌克兰的战争，也因为霍尔木兹海峡的局势；美方了解项目面临一些潜在阻碍，打算用外交努力提醒各方这件事为何重要，并希望找到解决办法。
这一项目名为「大海互联」（Great Sea Interconnector），由希腊电网运营商IPTO开发，造价约19亿欧元，计划把欧洲大陆电网经希腊、克里特岛与塞浦路斯相连，后续再延伸至以色列。塞浦路斯目前是欧盟唯一未与其它成员国电力市场联网的国家，这条互联线被视为改善其能源安全的关键一步。
项目进展迟缓，症结在希腊与土耳其的海域争端。电缆拟铺设海域与土耳其2019年同利比亚达成的海事协议所主张的范围重叠，安卡拉称穿越该区域须事先与土方协调，雅典拒绝承认该协议。希腊希望近期恢复海底勘测以确定电缆路径。法国投资集团Meridiam已于今年8月签约，将成为该项目的大股东。
鲁比奥是在访雅典出席第六轮美希战略对话期间接受该报专访的。能源合作是本轮对话的主线之一：这条海底电力互联线，与把美国液化天然气经希腊输往中东欧的「垂直走廊」，同属美方力推的区域能源布局。

Rubio Tells Kathimerini the U.S. Firmly Backs the Great Sea Interconnector and Will Use Diplomacy to Clear Hurdles
ATHENS — U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio told the Greek newspaper Kathimerini, in an interview published on October 8, that the United States is firmly behind an EU-backed undersea power cable in the eastern Mediterranean and will use diplomacy to help remove obstacles to it. Rubio said energy-supply diversification matters to Washington both because of Russia's war in Ukraine and because of the situation around the Strait of Hormuz, and that the U.S. intended to use its diplomatic efforts to remind all parties why the project matters, in the hope of finding resolutions, Reuters reported.
The project, known as the Great Sea Interconnector, is being developed by Greece's power grid operator IPTO at a cost of about €1.9 billion. It aims to link the European mainland grid via Greece and Crete to Cyprus, and later to Israel. Cyprus is currently the only EU member state whose electricity market is not connected to any other member's, and the cable is intended to improve its energy security.
Progress has been slow amid a dispute between Greece and Turkey over the maritime area through which the cable would be laid. The route overlaps waters claimed under a 2019 maritime deal between Turkey and Libya, and Ankara says passage through the area requires prior coordination with Turkey; Athens rejects that deal. Greece wants to resume seabed surveying to determine the route soon. The French investment group Meridiam signed an agreement in August to become the project's majority shareholder.
Rubio gave the interview during his visit to Athens for the sixth U.S.–Greece Strategic Dialogue, where energy cooperation — the interconnector and the 'Vertical Corridor' for moving U.S. liquefied natural gas through Greece toward Central and Eastern Europe — topped the agenda.
