S.A., a member of Copelouzos Group, which is developing the GREGY electrical interconnection project, has published the first two calls for expression of interest for the final studies of the project. The first two calls were published in both the Greek and international Greek press, as well as on the company's website www.elicagroup.gr and refer to the necessary "Desktop Studies" for the finalization of the optimal choice of the submarine cable route and the landing points in the two countries, as well as the "Technical analysis of the project and the studies for the calculation of benefit indicators and cost-benefit analysis for the project".
