Skiathos-Evia Interconnection
Scope
The turnkey project including the design, manufacturing, testing, supply, installation and protection of 150kV submarine and land cable system.
Key Facts
Execution
The electrical interconnection between Skiathos and Euboea is in full operation since July 2022, already set to successfully meet Skiathos’ increased demands during the current tourist season, as well as those of all Northern Sporades Islands. It was a project of great technical complexity which was successfully completed earlier than originally scheduled, confirming the capabilities of Hellenic Cables for the execution of complex projects by adhering to strict schedules, budget and high quality requirements set by its customers.
The project involved the design and delivery of approximately 30 km in total of 150 kV submarine cable, the underwater submarine cable installation at a depth of about 200 meters, the installation of land cables, the protection of the submarine cable on the seabed along its entire length as well as the protection of the underground cables on land, the connection of the submarine to the land cables at the mooring areas and their terminals connecting the underwater cable system to the 150 kV national Transmission System at Mandoudi in Euboea.
The submarine cable was manufactured at Hellenic Cables’ state-of-the-art plant in Corinth, with world-class capabilities for production and testing of very long, continuous lengths of submarine cables in one of the largest in the world.
