               <P>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 1000 MW between converter stations and the envisaged voltage level will be ±400 kV or more. The scheme will be developed under four tender procedures:</P>
               <P>— procurement of the VSC HVDC Converters,</P>
               <P>— procurement of the HVDC submarine cables and land cables for Link 1: Israel — Cyprus,</P>
               <P>— procurement of the HVDC submarine cables and land cables for Link 2: Cyprus — Crete,</P>
               <P>— procurement of the HVDC submarine cables and land cables for Link 3: Crete — Attica.</P>
               <P>This process concerns the fourth of the above tender processes and encompasses the design, manufacture, testing, supply and installation of the HVDC submarine cables for Link 3 and the HVDC, MVDC and HVAC land cables necessary in the areas of Crete and Attica.</P>
