On 19 March 2018, IPTO inaugurated Phase A of the Cyclades Interconnection, which linked Syros and Paros to the mainland transmission system and allowed downstream islands, including Ios, to be electrically supplied via Paros from the Mainland Power Transmission System. This operational change meant that Ios and several neighbouring islands could be fed through their existing radial connections from Paros rather than relying primarily on local autonomous production, contributing to improved supply reliability and reduced use of local oil-fired generation in the Cyclades.
