For Greek TSO-operated island interconnection projects, the Environmental Impact Assessment approval by the Ministry of Environment and Energy serves as the de facto planning consent. Once the EIA is approved, the project has the regulatory authorisation to proceed with construction. This event is recorded as planning_consent_awarded alongside eia_approved because the Greek EIA approval serves both the environmental clearance and the project-level development consent functions.
