The Action is a study for the implementation of a part of the PCI 3.21 PCI<br />
Italy-Slovenia interconnection up to 1000 MW between Salgareda (IT) and<br />
Divača - Beričevo region (SI). The Action covers only Slovenian territory,<br />
from Divača or Beričevo to the Italo-Slovenian sea-border in the Gulf of<br />
Trieste, covering a distance between 48 km and 128 km, depending on the<br />
connection point – Divača or Beričevo – which is yet to be determined.<br />
The main objectives of the Action are to establish the optimum technology<br />
solution of the planned High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) connection<br />
between the two countries and to prepare the Strategic Environmental<br />
Assessment (SEA) which are both necessary for the implementation of the<br />
project of common interest.<br />
For this purpose, firstly an analysis of the suitability of different HVDC<br />
technologies will be performed and, based on technical considerations the<br />
most suitable technological solution will be identified.<br />
Secondly, the Action will focus on the preparation of the Strategic<br />
Environmental Assessment (SEA), analysing and identifying the<br />
environmental risks, screening potential environmental impacts and<br />
studying the sensitivity of the environment.<br />
The Action is ongoing.<br />
