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 />
