The EuroAsia Interconnector is a proposed interconnector to link Greek, Cypriot and Israeli power grids via the world's longest submarine power cable.〔 〕 == Description == The cable will link Israel with Cyprus.〔 〕〔 〕 Cyprus will be connected with the Greek island of Crete. From Crete, an existing cable will be used for connection to Peloponnese in mainland Greece providing a connection to the pan-European electricity grid.〔〔 If built, the total length of the interconnector will be about and it would be laid depths of up to under sea level. It will have a capacity to transmit 2,000 megawatts of electricity in either direction.〔 〕 It is expected to cost €1.5 billion, of which €500 million is the cost of the Israel–Cyprus link.〔 A memorandum of understanding for conducting the feasibility study was signed in Jerusalem on 4 March 2012 between the project company, DEH Quantum Energy, and the Israel Electric Corporation. The feasibility study should be completed by the end 2012.〔〔 If the investment decision will be positive, the project could be launched as early as 2013. The project is expected to be completed within 3 years from the beginning of construction.〔 In a meeting between the Israeli and Cypriot energy ministers in June 2015, the Israeli minister suggested doubling the planned capacity of the cable. With Israel and Cyprus both having located natural gas deposits within their territories, a higher capacity cable would allow them to construct gas-driven power plants and export significant amounts of electricity to Europe. The partners aim to launch environmental and route studies for the project in early 2016 with a tenative implementation date of 2019 for the Israel–Cyprus connection and 2022 for the Cyprus–Greece connection. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「EuroAsia Interconnector」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
