Progress in the construction of the world’s largest submarine power cable

to exist submarine cables to transport electricity to different parts of the world (also on the Internet). Through an agreement, a group of countries plans to build the the largest in the world. It will travel through four sections of the Mediterranean and the Aegean, and will connect Greece, Cyprus and Israel.

It will be submerged in the depths of the Mediterranean Sea and will function as backup or emergency backup service (power outages or other types of problems that may occur in Greece, Cyprus or Israel). The cable will be the longest and deepest of its kind to date.

On Monday, the state-owned DEI Quantum EnergySA, a subsidiary of the Greek public electricity company DEI, based in Cyprus, began construction procedures for this submarine power cable. It will be 2,000 megawatts and will link the electricity grids of the three countries, as part of a project called “Interconnector EurAsia”.

It will be 1,500 kilometers long at 2,700 meters deep from the sea. The cable will provide electricity at a capacity of 1,000 to 2,000 megawatts. This project is co-financed by the European Union and will have a cost of around 750 million euros.

It would be finished in 2024 and it would start working for all three countries in 2025. The objective of the project is that the electric cable connects a section between Israel Yes Cyprus, covering approximately 310 kilometers, as well as an additional 900 kilometers will connect Cyprus to the Greek island of Crete, and an additional 310 kilometers will connect Crete to the rest of Greece.

What does this interconnection plan mean

Thus, the Greek, Cypriot and Israeli governments want to promote the use of renewable energies in their respective countries. It will ensure a more comfortable exchange of electricity between Europe and Asia. As indicated during the signing of the agreement by the governments of each country, it will “promote cooperation to examine the possibility of planning, as well as the potential development and implementation of the project”.

It will also allow Cyprus to finally be energetically interconnected with the rest of the European Union. It is the only member country of the European Union which is today completely isolated. The European Union has designated this project as of common interest and is therefore ready to contribute funding. In addition, the three countries intend to explore and exploit natural gas resources.

There are other connections between countries through submarine cables, such as that of Scottish power, in the United Kingdom, which is developing a large submarine electric cable, called East Link, which will connect Scotland and England via the North Sea and will have a capacity of 4 gigawatts (GW).

The project consists of two main lines of 2 GW each, which will allow the transport of renewable energy to transport it from Scotland to some 4 million English households, Iberdrola reported on Monday. The link is will consist of some of the cables HVDC submarine the longest in the world, with a combined capacity of up to 4 GW, and although the investment has not been quantified, the three companies that will develop it estimate it will amount to billions of pounds.

The cables for this infrastructure, which will provide clean energy to four million UK homes, will pass 440 kilometers to the east of Scotland, which is and a major offshore wind power center at two points in the North East of England, Selby and Hawthorn Point.
