Greek electricity transmission system operator ADMIE is working to complete a pre-feasibility study for the Green Aegean Interconnector by the end of the year. This ambitious project aims to establish an energy corridor from Greece to southern Germany, facilitating the transport of renewable energy to Central Europe.
The study will be pivotal in determining the technical requirements and potential benefits of the project for both nations. It will assess Greece’s and Germany’s electricity consumption and production patterns to evaluate how well they complement each other, potentially enhancing Greece’s capacity to export green energy to Germany.
ADMIE is actively collaborating with German transmission operators TenneT and 50Hertz to ensure effective data sharing. The Green Aegean Interconnector is expected to start with a transmission capacity of 3 GW, with the possibility of expanding to 9 GW.
The project’s estimated budget is between €8 billion and €14 billion, depending on its final design. It includes an undersea cable from Greece across the Adriatic Sea to Slovenia, followed by an overland route through Austria to southern Germany.
