CESI

CESI supported the Green Vein electricity corridor initiative connecting Egypt and Italy as an engineering and feasibility consultant. CESI stated that the project, introduced by K&K together with Prysmian Group and Siemens Energy, was the result of months of collaboration between K&K, CESI, Siemens Energy, and Prysmian Group. CESI also noted that the initiative progressed into detailed feasibility following a successful initial study, indicating CESI’s involvement in the early-stage technical work underpinning the project’s development. The Green Vein concept is a submarine high-voltage direct current (HVDC) interconnector designed to transport renewable electricity from Egypt to Italy. As described by CESI, the scheme targets a transfer capacity of 3 GW and would connect Egypt’s West Sohag area to the Dolo substation in Italy, near Mestre/Venice. The corridor is described as approximately 2,800 km long and reaching water depths of up to 3,000 m. CESI’s role is positioned within the development phase, supporting the technical and engineering assessment needed to advance the project from initial study findings into detailed feasibility, including evaluation of the overall HVDC corridor concept and its integration implications for the interconnection between the EU and the MENA/Africa region.
