Greece’s Independent Power Transmission Operator (ADMIE) and the Transmission System Operator of Italy (Terna) are jointly submitting a request for the inclusion of the new electricity interconnection between Greece and Italy (GR.ITA II) in the second List of Projects of Mutual and Common Interest (PCI/PMI) of the European Union, in the context of the presentation of the candidate PCI/PMI projects to be held in Brussels on Thursday.
The Greece-Italy interconnection concerns the laying of a new submarine line (linking Thesprotia in Greece with Galatina in Italy), which will triple the capacity for electricity exchanges from 500 megawatts today to 1,500 MW.
