Short description
EuroAsia Interconnector is a multi-terminal VSC-HVDC scheme which will connect Crete and Attica in Greece, Cyprus and Israel, and will comprise 4 converter stations with sea electrodes, interconnected by cables. The initial development will allow the transfer of minimum 1.000 MW between converter stations and the envisaged voltage level will be ±400 kV or more. The scheme will be developed under 4 tender procedures:
— Procurement of the VSC HVDC Converters.
— Procurement of the HVDC submarine cables and land cables for Link 1: Israel – Cyprus.
— Procurement of the HVDC submarine cables and land cables for Link 2: Cyprus – Crete.
— Procurement of the HVDC submarine cables and land cables for Link 3: Crete – Attica.
This process concerns the third of the above tender processes and encompasses the design, manufacture, testing, supply and installation of the HVDC submarine cables for Link 2 and the HVDC, MVDC and HVAC land cables necessary in Cyprus.
