The country’s Coordination Committee for the Connection and Development of Offshore Wind Farm Projects will explore ways to connect Greece’s prospective offshore wind farms with power grid operator IPTO’s network at a meeting today.

Although authorities remain a long way off from final decisions as the exact locations of offshore wind farms must first be determined, discussion, so far, on the connection model has been based on two formulas for shallow and super-shallow alternatives.

In the case of the former, the cost of offshore wind farm links to the nearest IPTO sub-stations would be entirely covered by investors, while, in the case of the the latter, IPTO would provide connection lines all the way to offshore wind farms.

In addition, authorities are discussing substation alternatives and are considering 33-kV and 66-kV options.
