THE PROJECT

The project includes the supply and installation of approximately 38 km of 150 kV submarine and overland cables and is scheduled for completion in 2026. The submarine cables will be produced at Hellenic Cables' state-of-the-art plant in Corinth, whose production capacities have recently been increased. The Corinth plant is internationally recognised for its advanced production and testing capabilities, enabling the manufacture of submarine cables in long continuous lengths. The onshore cables will be manufactured at the Hellenic Cables plant in Thebes, where investments are also being made to increase production capacity.
