Context

What this means for procurement and projects

Derived from the items above — not a forecast.

The list does not guarantee grid connection; ADMIE/IPTO will then assess each project individually, pointing to demand for connection planning, substation equipment and storage supply.

The project combines wind turbines, battery storage and an extra-high-voltage grid connection, creating demand for storage technology, cables and grid integration.

A state-prepared large project with grid connection via a switching station following TEİAŞ approval points to demand for modules, cables and connection equipment.

According to the report, cable and substation tenders for the Northeastern Aegean interconnection are still underway with a 2030 target, an open procurement need.

A directly tendered need for piping, gas infrastructure, cables and transformer stations, with credit support from the Ministry of Industry and Technology.

The statement affects the timeline of the Greece–Cyprus power link and thus planning certainty for suppliers of cables and grid equipment.
