Eighteen countries joined together to create a safe and sustainable Mediterranean electricity network towards a single energy market. The Mediterranean project, managed by 20 partners of 18 EU and non-EU countries, and led by Med-Tso, the association of electricity managers in the Mediterranean area, was launched in 2015 and throughout the last three years achieved its first results. The economic value of the operation and many other details will be presented on Tuesday, 10th April, at the European Parliament in Brussels.
The project has been realized thanks to a loan of about 3 million euros from the European Union and aims to supply electricity to about 500 million consumers, from Italy to Portugal, from France to Turkey, as well as Greece, Spain, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Algeria, Israel, Palestine, Jordan, Tunisia, Slovenia, Cyprus, Tunisia and Montenegro.
The experts involved were 146 and 93 technical meetings have been held since 2015.
When it comes to practical interventions, the project aims to harmonize the energy systems of the two Mediterranean coasts through a regional development plan, the definition of a common code and rules, as well as the creation of a Mediterranean database and sharing of expertise.
