On 18 November 2024, IPTO/ADMIE launched the main tender for the Corinth–Kos electrical interconnection, covering the design, supply and installation of a 1,000 MW high‑voltage direct current (HVDC) system comprising two parallel 500 MW submarine cables of about 380 km and two converter stations at Corinth and Kos. The tender, with budgets of approximately €630 million for the cable systems and €789.1 million for the converter stations and a 36‑month construction period from contract signing, is the core step in integrating the Dodecanese islands into Greece’s mainland high‑voltage grid and enabling the phase‑out of local oil‑fired generation.
