Dodecanese electrical interconnection project development

Overview

The Greek Independent Power Transmission Operator, ADMIE, has moved forward with the Corinth to Kos electrical interconnection project. ADMIE has signed a contract with Hellenic Cables, a subsidiary of Cenergy Holdings, to manage the study, procurement, construction, and installation (EPCI) of the system.

The project, valued between approximately 1.48 billion and 1.5 billion euros, involves a 320 kV high-voltage direct current (HVDC) system. The infrastructure will consist of roughly 1,260 to 1,290 km of submarine cables and 30 km of underground cables, providing a power transmission capacity of 1,000 MW.

Construction is expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2026, with a targeted completion date in 2030. This strategic development aims to connect the Dodecanese islands, including Rhodes and Karpathos, to the Greek mainland's electrical grid. By ending energy isolation, the project is intended to reduce reliance on local fossil fuel units, enhance energy security, and lower electricity production costs through a transition to greener energy sources.
