The Action is a part of the Project of Common Interest (PCI) 3.7.1 that<br />
concerns the construction of a new AC 400kV single-circuit interconnector of<br />
approximately 151 km with transfer capacity of 1500MVA (thermal limit)<br />
between the Maritsa East substation in Bulgaria and Nea Santa substation in<br />
Greece. The aim is to reinforce the existing 400kV regional grid, further<br />
increase cross-border exchanges and accommodate the expected future<br />
renewable energy generation in northeast Greece, as well as in the<br />
northeast and southern regions of Bulgaria.<br />
This specific Action involves part of the interconnection transmission line<br />
Maritsa East 1 (BG) - Nea Santa (EL) within Greece up to the Bulgarian<br />
border crossing, with a total length of approximately 29 km. A relevant<br />
Action is also undertaken by the Bulgarian TSO (ESO-EAD).<br />
The objectives are to prepare the application file in order to proceed with<br />
the environmental permit granting process and define all of the technical<br />
details required for construction. In addition, a detailed cost-benefit analysis<br />
and business plan for the entire PCI will be prepared that will allow an<br />
investment request to be submitted to relevant national regulatory<br />
authorities of Bulgaria and Greece.<br />
The Action is ongoing.<br />
