From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The HVDC Italy-Greece is a monopolorar submarine power cable link between Italy and Greece with a maximum transmission rate of 500 megawatts, which went in service in 2001. The HVDC Italy-Greece begins in the static inverter plant Galatina in Italy and is implemented in its first 40 kilometers as underground cables. Then it crosses the Ionian Sea as a 160 kilometer long submarine cable. In Greece the line is implemented in the last 110 kilometers of its track to the static inverter station in Arachthos as overhead line.
