How could the East Mediterranean become a significant energy supplier for the EU?

The region's substantial gas reserves in Israel, Egypt, and Cyprus (estimated at 1.8 trillion cubic meters, potentially reaching 3 trillion with further exploration), combined with large-scale renewable energy projects and interconnector developments (Great Sea Interconnector, GREGY, Green Energean Interconnector), could significantly diversify the EU's energy supply, potentially covering 25-30% of its needs by 2040.
