The European Commission identifies the interconnections
in South-Western Europe as one of eight priority
projects in the field of energy [23] (Figure 15.2). The
recommended key actions include:
• the adequate development of the interconnections
in the Northern Mediterranean region and the accommodation
of the existing national networks to
those new projects,
• concerning connections with NON-EU countries, the
development of Italy’s connections with countries
of the Energy Community, the realisation of the
Tunisia-Italy interconnection, the expansion of the
Spain-Morocco interconnector, the reinforcement,
where necessary, of South-South interconnections
in North African neighbour countries and
preparatory studies for additional North-South interconnections
to be developed after 2020.
