Hellenic Cables, the cables segment of Cenergy Holdings, signed a contract with Independent Power Transmission Operator (IPTO) on Monday, in the context of the 4th phase of Cyclades interconnection with the continental Electricity Transmission System, concerning the electrical interconnections of Lavrio-Serifos and Serifos-Milos, Greece, with a total length of 170 km, ANA reports.
Upon operation, the new interconnection will significantly upgrade the quality of electricity supply to seven more directly and indirectly interconnected islands of the Cyclades (Folegandros, Milos, Serifos, Ios, Kimolos, Sifnos, and Kythnos) throughout the year while allowing the gradual withdrawal of polluting and aging power plants still operating in Milos and Serifos.
The implementation of the project, including the installation of the cables, is expected to be concluded within 28 months. The cables will be manufactured at Hellenic Cables’ state-of-the-art factory in Corinth.
