ANNEX
1 Projects
co-funded by the European Energy Programme for Recovery (EEPR) Ø EstLink
2 is the second HVDC interconnection
between Estonia and Finland that increases the transmission capacity between
the two countries to 1000 MW. Ø Nordbalt
is a new interconnection between Sweden and Lithuania with a transmission
capacity of 700 MW. Ø The
Austria-Hungary interconnection (Wien-Györ),
with a capacity of 1 100 MVA, improved the interoperability of the Austrian and
Hungarian electricity networks Ø The
Spain-France interconnection (Sta. Llogaia -
Baixas) is a centre-piece of an underground cable with a capacity of 1400-1800
MW crossing the Pyrenees mountains using a dedicated tunnel. Ø The
Malta-Italy interconnection (Pembroke - Marina di
Ragusa) is a sub-sea HVAC cable rated at 250MVA which will put an end to the
isolation of the Maltese electricity grid from the rest of Europe. Ø The
UK-Ireland interconnection (Deeside - Meath) is a
HVDC cable with a capacity of 500 MW. The project was the first electricity
interconnection between Ireland and Great Britain. Ø The
project comprising four overhead lines between Tunes and Tavira (PT),
Tunes and Estói (PT), Tavira (PT) and Alcoutim (PT) and Ourique and
Estói (PT) contributed to the upgrade and extension of the Portuguese
electricity grid. Ø The
reinforcement of the electrical network between the Douro region (PT)
and the Spanish border of Aldeadavila was completed in the autumn of
2011. ANNEX
