Early Development Other

On 11 November 2025 Med-TSO published the 2025 edition of the Master Plan of Mediterranean Interconnections, which assesses ten implementation-priority projects across five corridors targeting the 2030 horizon: Spain-Morocco (102), Italy-Tunisia (204), Egypt-Libya (218), Greece-Cyprus-Israel (212), Bulgaria-Türkiye-Greece (111), Italy-Greece (217), Albania-Greece (122), Egypt-Jordan (120), Jordan-Syria-Lebanon (121), and Jordan-Palestine (114). Project 207 (Israel-Türkiye HVDC) was not retained in this list and has been moved to the companion Mediterranean Electricity Interconnections Perspectives (MEIP), which the Master Plan defines as covering projects scheduled for implementation by 2040 and beyond, alongside exploratory initiatives to enhance interconnectivity in the region's power systems. The demotion reflects the project's continued pre-FID status — no consenting, financing, supplier contracts, or inclusion in national development plans on either the Israeli or Turkish side — and aligns Med-TSO's own portfolio classification with the project's exploratory nature. Bilateral political conditions remained difficult, with the Turkish Ministry of Trade having ordered a total suspension of trade with Israel on 2 May 2024 across all categories. The 2022 Med-TSO Project #7 sheet had previously classified the link as a "Long-term project / Project under consideration"; the 2025 portfolio update formalises that classification by removing the project from the implementation track.
