Greece’s Independent Power Transmission Operator (ADMIE) this week unveiled an outlay of 4.3 billion euros over the 2021-30 period to connect all of the country’s numerous islands with the mainland grid – a long-standing goal over several decades that remains incomplete.
The plan has been submitted to a relevant independent power authority for approval, including observations by energy market entities, along with adaptations for a more rapid and effective transfer from a complete independence from lignite-fired power production.
In terms of technical specifications, some 5,000 kilometers of new power connections are envisioned in the 10-year plan, most of which are underwater.
