Elena Ambrosiadou calls for Energy Institute

IKOS boss Elena Ambrosiadou believes that the island’s energy policies should be determined by experts and not by politicians.
The operator of one of the world’s largest hedge fund managers said that “the establishment of an Energy Institute in Cyprus should include high-level technocrats and should employ chemical engineers, investment banks, experts in oil and gas exploration and production, maritime experts and specialists in the fields of pipes and transport.”
“Also, above all, the viability and independence of the project must be secured, regardless of political issues,” said Ambrosiadou, who has called for the immediate appointment of a chief of energy policy, adding that the funding and management of such large scale operations needs proper planning that only experts and technocrats can achieve.
