On 3 January 2020, IPTO announced that its preliminary Ten‑Year Network Development Plan (TYNDP) 2021‑2030 would, for the first time, include the interconnection of the North Aegean islands and the Dodecanese, a programme structured in three phases that explicitly covers the Phase B Kos–Samos 150 kV AC cable link. The plan allocates a budget of EUR 935 million for the North Aegean islands and EUR 1.477 billion for the Dodecanese, with Phase B—including the Kos–Samos interconnection targeted for completion in 2028—forming the basis for the Northern Aegean Interconnection Phase B: Samos‑Kos project.
