The Greek Ministry of Environment and Energy (ΥΠΕΝ) issued the Approval of Environmental Terms (ΑΕΠΟ) for the Igoumenitsa–Corfu 150 kV interconnection, giving the green light for a mixed underground and submarine cable link between Aetos (Municipality of Filiates) and Ormos Potamou (Municipality of Central Corfu). The consent covers approximately 4 km of underground and 17.1 km of submarine AC cables, including integrated optical fibre cables, enabling ADMIE to proceed with the tender and implementation of the project, which will form the third 150 kV cable connection to secure Corfu’s electricity supply and accommodate at least an additional 60 MW of load under contingency conditions.
