EU, Greece and Egypt are pushing ahead with an electricity highway across the Mediterranean. “Gregy”, short for “Greek Egypt Interconnections’, is a planned power line from Egypt to Greece.
The line will have a capacity of three gigawatts. This would allow it to replace 4.5 billion cubic meters of natural gas annually and thus save ten million tons of CO2 emissions. The EU wants to push ahead with further energy projects with Egypt - Italy is already planning a line.
