The Greek Independent Power Transmission Operator, ADMIE, has ~~initiated major steps to advance electrical interconnection projects in the Dodecanese region. Ioannis Margaris, Vice President of ADMIE, announced that a contract for the cable section of~~ moved forward with the Corinth to Kos interconnection, valued at approximately 1.4 billion euros, was expected to be signed shortly. This project aims to reduce the islands’ reliance on local power generation. Following these developments, the French company Nexans electrical interconnection project. ADMIE has signed a ~~subcontracting agreement~~ contract with Hellenic Cables, a ~~consortium including Asso.subsea,~~ subsidiary of Cenergy Holdings, to ~~supply a 110 kV cable system for~~ manage the ~~Corinth-Kos high-voltage direct current (HVDC) interconnection.~~ study, procurement, construction, and installation (EPCI) of the system. The ~~total project is~~ project, valued ~~at roughly 1.5~~ between approximately 1.48 billion ~~euros~~ and 1.5 billion euros, involves a ~~1 GW,~~ 320 kV ~~system consisting~~ high-voltage direct current (HVDC) system. The infrastructure will consist of ~~approximately~~ roughly 1,260 to 1,290 km of ~~subsea~~ submarine cables and 30 km of ~~terrestrial cables. Nexans will provide mass-impregnated~~ underground cables, ~~with production and seabed research already underway. Manufacturing for the project~~ providing a power transmission capacity of 1,000 MW. Construction is expected to ~~continue from late 2026 through mid-2028. Pascal Radue, Executive Vice President of Power Transmission at Nexans, stated that the project reflects~~ begin in the ~~“growing necessity for high-voltage transmission infrastructure~~ fourth quarter of 2026, with a targeted completion date in 2030. This strategic development aims to connect ~~remote areas~~ the Dodecanese islands, including Rhodes and ~~support energy transitions.” The infrastructure is considered one of~~ Karpathos, to the ~~largest~~ Greek mainland's electrical grid. By ending energy ~~transmission developments in~~ isolation, the ~~Mediterranean region.~~ 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.
