Elica Mediterranean Electrical Interconnection which is developing an interconnector between Greece to Egypt has published the first two calls for expression of interest for the final studies of the GREGY project.
The first two calls refer to the necessary “Desktop Studies” for the finalisation of the optimal choice of the submarine cable route and the landing points in the two countries.
It also covers the “Technical analysis of the project and the studies for the calculation of benefit indicators and cost-benefit analysis for the project”.
The GREGY project has been included in the 1st PCI/PMI list of the European Union and concerns the electrical interconnection of the electricity systems of Egypt and Greece.
This includes a 3GW HVDC connection for the transmission of 100% green energy from Egypt to Greece and Europe.
The publication of the calls constitutes the next phase in the development of GREGY in order to expedite the implementation of this major national and European project.
The electricity interconnection between Greece and Egypt is an energy leap forward for electricity interconnections in the Mediterranean and an upgrade of Greece’s role in the energy map of South East Europe.
The closing date for the submission of the Expression of Interest for the first two tenders is 31 May 2024.
