The Green Aegean Interconnector, a proposed renewable energy transport corridor linking Greece to southern Germany, is showing feasibility under certain conditions, based on preliminary findings from an ongoing pre-feasibility study. The study, developed by Grant Thornton for the Greek electricity transmission system operator ADMIE, is expected to provide more detailed viability assessments when the final results are released in mid-December.
The interconnector is designed to support a minimum transmission capacity of 3 GW, with the potential to increase up to 9 GW. The initial project budget is estimated at 8 billion euros, with projections suggesting it could rise to around 12 billion euros. The proposed route would run from Greece, across the Adriatic Sea to Slovenia, and continue overland through Austria to reach southern Germany.
The Green Aegean Interconnector aims to enhance the transmission of renewable energy across Europe, helping to create a more integrated energy market and contribute to the EU’s clean energy objectives.
