Studies & Permitting

Permitting

CESI provides consultancy and support to clients from the early stages of their projects through to completion. By helping clients integrate environmental, social and cultural issues into the project planning process early on, we ensure they achieve their environmental objectives, avoid significant public concerns and delays to approval, and we enable them to save capital and operating costs.

Our consultancy includes the following activities:

  • Identification of authorization procedures (e.g. environmental impact assessment)
  • Definition of required documentation
  • Verification that customer documentation conforms with regulatory requirements
  • Issuing environmental documents to the competent authorities
  • Support and participation in public consultation, stakeholders’ meetings and site visits
  • Supervision of third-party studies and documentation

CESI also identifies potential problems in studies and the factors that may be critical to obtaining an authorization.

EuroAsia interconnection

EuroAsia 2000MW HVDC interconnection – EIA transboundary procedure and feasibility study for HVDC submarine interconnector between Greece and Israel via Cyprus

CESI was selected to conduct the National and Transboundary Environmental Impact Studies (EIA) for the EuroAsia project, part of the European Union’s “Energy Priority Corridor 3” project under the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) Energy Programme. The EuroAsia project is a 2,000MW subsea HVDC energy bridge that will connect two continents, via three Mediterranean nations – Israel, Cyprus and Greece (via Crete). It will be the first such energy bridge between Europe and Asia. The project has numerous advantages for the territories involved: from ending Cyprus’s and Crete’s energy isolation to enabling the development of more renewable energy sources and reducing CO2 emissions.

CESI conducted the environmental impact assessment to assess the project’s possible positive or negative environmental, social and economic impacts, in line with European law and the national laws of each country involved. The EIA was carried out in close co-operation with the relevant local and national authorities.
