"Clouds" on the "great" electrical interconnection of Crete – RETHEMNO NEWSPAPER: RETHYMNO NEWS NEW CRETE

At the orbit of realization, however, is the small interconnection of the Peloponnese – Crete, with a total capacity of 200 MW.

There is a danger of "blackout" from 2020 in the electrification of Crete with the latest UDMR negotiations "EuroAsia Interconnector" to deal with the project of interconnection of the Island with Attica as one with that of Israel – Cyprus – Crete – Attica

According to euro2day.gr, in the talks of Thursday, which lasted more than four hours, with the presence of EU representatives, IDF and EuroAsia have not found who would be responsible for carrying out the project

The sources of the UDMD blame the representatives of the EU. EuroAsia, which is the official body of the Israeli-Cypriot-Cretan-Aticty interconnection plan. The latter, they say, although they have agreed to create a joint venture since April, with the operator holding 51%, the developer of the project of European interest to participate with 39% and individuals owning 10%, however

Sources state that Commission representatives acknowledged the compromise measures that the Operator had requested and the uncompromising attitude of EuroAsia

in At the same time, the Rhythm Cooperation Organization (ACER) released the Progress Report on Projects of Common Interest (PCI) in Electricity and Gas, finding the delay of two years in the implementation of the interconnection between Crete and Attica (2022 instead of 2020)

. The first reason for what will come with the project is the Regulatory Authority of Energy (RAE). Sources want the Authority to decide, perhaps, next week whether it will directly commission the implementation of the electrical interconnection or whether it will issue an international tender

The problem of electrification

By the end of 2019, most DheH diesel power plants will have to be removed from the island. Indeed, a Community directive imposes severe restrictions on emissions from industrial installations. In fact, the following year, the exception of the operation of these units ends in accordance with the directive 201/75 / CEE.

In order to make the case even more noticeable, it suffices to note that the four counties of Crete electrified from units with a total capacity of 813 MW and within the community framework, the 601 MW should be removed.

In addition to 2021, these units will be subject to even greater restrictions. The energy deficit of Crete can not even be covered by improving these units. It is characteristic that even if the investments are made by DEH (where it is technically possible even if the company can support …), these 601 MW will only be available from 500 to 1500 hours per year. while a year counts 8 760 hours. By 2020, the island, which is experiencing unprecedented growth and growth in tourism, will need 700 MW, compared with 630 today, according to the network operator (DEDDIE).

The small and large cable

in orbit implementation is the small interconnection of the Peloponnese – Crete, with a total capacity of 200 MW. It will be completed in the first half of 2020, but again this is not enough to cover the island's deficit. The large and dual interconnection of Crete with Attica will provide 700 MW of energy, but according to the IDM calendar, the project will be ready by 2022.
