Mid Continental East Corridor(Romania-Serbia-Montenegro-Italy)
PCI Cluster 3.22
Romania-Serbia: PCI 3.22.1-2-3-4
The project consists of one double circuit 400 kV line between Serbia and Romania andreinforcement of the network along the western border in Romania. It aims at enhancingthe transmission capacity along the East-West corridor in south-eastern and centralEurope. It will provide access to the market for more than 1000 MW installed new windgeneration in Banat area (Serbia and Romania)
3.22.1 Interconnection between Resita (RO) and Pancevo (RS)
(also part of the Trasbalkan Corridor)
• The Serbian part of the line was completed in December 2017
• However, the bankruptcy of the company in charge of the construction of the substation in Romania has delayed the full commissioning of the line, which is expected to take place by the end of 2019. Until then, it has been operating at a lower voltage only on the Serbian side
• The execution work was finalized on 30.03.2018 11
Mid Continental East Corridor(Romania-Serbia-Montenegro-Italy)
PCI Cluster 3.22
Romania-Serbia: PCI 3.22.1-2-3-4
The project consists of one double circuit 400 kV line between Serbia and Romania andreinforcement of the network along the western border in Romania. It aims at enhancingthe transmission capacity along the East-West corridor in south-eastern and centralEurope. It will provide access to the market for more than 1000 MW installed new windgeneration in Banat area (Serbia and Romania)
3.22.2 Internal line between Portile de Fier and Resita (RO)
3.22.3 Internal line between Resita and Timisoara/Sacalaz (RO)
3.22.4 Internal line between Arad and Timisoara/Sacalaz (RO)
3.22.2: Application for removal of affected areas from forestry fund in July.

obtaining approvals)
Commissioning for both lines planned for 2022 12
Mid Continental East Corridor(Romania-Serbia-Montenegro-Italy)
PCI Cluster 3.22
Montenegro – Italy: PCI 3.22.5
Project promoter: Terna
The interconnection between Villanova (Italy) and Lastva (Montenegro) iscurrently under construction and it is expected to be commissioned by January2019 and put in operation in June 2019.
The suspension of the third and fourth section of the Transbalkan corridor inSerbia has affected the construction of the Montenegro-Italy subsea cable in itssecond half capacity:
the first HVDC link which will realise 600 MW transmission capacity betweenItaly and Montenegro (electricity will flow through the existing grid), but thesecond HVDC link cannot be developed (up to the full interconnection capacity1200 MW) if there is no certainty about the commissioning of the fullTransbalkan corridor and the integration of the electricity markets in the Balkanarea
13
Transbalkan Corridor(Romania-Serbia-Montenegro)
This priority project aims at enhancing the transmission capacity along the East-Westcorridor in South-Eastern and Central Europe. It will provide access to the market formore than 1000 MW of installed new wind generation in the Banat area in Serbia andRomania. The project comprises:
Interconnection between Romania (Resita) and Serbia (Pancevo) (section 1)
Internal line in Serbia between Kragujevac and Kraljevo (section 2)
Internal line in Serbia between Obrenovac and Bajina Basta (section 3)
Line between Serbia (Bajina Basta) – Bosnia and Herzegovina (Visegrad) -Montenegro (Pljevlja) (section 4)
Section 2: The construction phase would commence in 2018
Expected to be completed in 2020

Transbalkan Corridor(Romania-Serbia-Montenegro)
Internal line in Serbia between Obrenovac and Bajina Basta (section 3)
Line between Serbia (Bajina Basta) – Bosnia and Herzegovina (Visegrad) -Montenegro (Pljevlja) (section 4)
Section 3: The implementation has been suspended
Application for WBIF Grant from WBIF (EUR 15.5 million)
New Feasibility Study to be completed in Q1 2019
Section 4: Substation in Bosnia completed.
The suspension of section 3 jeopardizes the implementation of the
Montenegrin part of the project, which has received a 25 million
investment grant from the EU, under WBIF with KfW as lead IFI

Electricity Interconnections Hungary — SlovakiaPCIs 3.16 & 3.17
3.16.Interconnection Hungary – Slovakia between Gabčikovo (SK) and Gönyű (HU) and VeľkýĎur (SK)
3.17 Interconnection Hungary – Slovakia between Sajóvánka (HU) and Rimavská Sobota (SK)
The projects will increase the transfer capacity between Slovak and Hungarian transmissionsystems, improve security and reliability of operation both transmission systems and supportNorth - South RES power flows in CCE region.
Project promoters: MAVIR, SEPS
In Hungary permits would be granted towards the end of 2018 for theinterconnection Gabčikovo (SK) - Gönyű (HU) - Veľký Ďur (SK)
Slovakia
- Building permit obtained in Slovakia
- Procurement process (preparation of tender documentation for construction)
- 3rd Quarter of 2019 start of works
- Commissioning expected in December 2020 16
PCI 3.9: Croatia — Hungary — Slovenia between Žerjavenec/Hévíz and Cirkovce
The project consists of a new double circuit 400 kV line Cirkovce-Pince and anew 400 kVCirkovce substation (Slovenia) by which a new connection to one circuit of the existingdouble circuit interconnection line between Hungary and Croatia will be made, thuscreating two new cross-border interconnections between Slovenia and Hungary andbetween Slovenia and Croatia
Project promoter: ELES
State of play: Permitting phase
• Environmental permit (the major issue thus far) issued in spring 2018
• Building permit for Substation Cirkovce issued in August 2018
• Building permit for OHL Cirkovce - Pince to be issued first semester of 2019
• Working towards obtaining the “right of way” for the whole corridor
• Public procurement process for Substation Cirkovce currently in progress
• Construction of Substation Cirkovce to commence in spring 2019 and construction ofHV line in autumn 2019
• Commissioning expected at the end of 2021

Infrastructures supporting the integration of Ukraine and Moldova power systems into European electricity market (PMIs)
i) Interconnection between Ukraine (Mukacheve) and Slovakia (V. Kapusany)
State of play
• Common bilateral grid study assessing how and when to increase the transmissioncapacity of this line has finished
• SEPS and UKRENERGO agreed that the line after reconstruction will operate as a singlecircuit OHL with transmission capacity between 2000A and 2500A with the possibility torebuild the line to double circuit OHL easily (without the need to destroy the singleOHL)
• On the Ukrainian side the line will be reconstructed by 2023 and on the Slovak side thiswill be done by 2030.
18
Infrastructures supporting the integration of Ukraine and Moldova power systems into European electricity market (PMIs)
ii) Interconnection between Moldova (Vulcanesti-Chisinau) and Romania (Issacea)
The expected capacity of the interconnection is 600 MW which would be sufficient to cover55% of the Moldovan peak demand in the winter time and full off-peak demand in thesummer period. In Romania, it would benefit from existing connection in the Dobrogea regionwhere there is significant wind generation, and a 1400 MW nuclear power plant (inCernavoda).
State of play
• In Romania, the project enters in designing phase in 2018 and is to be commissioned in2022
• In Moldova, two feasibility-studies have been finalised recently and it was decided that themost appropriate solution for Moldova in the short-term would be to develop anasynchronous interconnection
• The investment necessary is estimated at around €250M to be financed through loans fromEBRD, EIB and the World Bank and a grant from the EU (€40M)

PCI 10.3: SINCRO.GRID (Slovenia, Croatia)
An innovative integration of synergetic, mature technology-based solutions in order toincrease the security of operations of the Slovenian and Croatian electricity systemssimultaneously. It aims at resolving network voltage, frequency control and congestion issues,enabling further deployment of renewables and displacement of conventional energygeneration.
Project Promoters: ELES, HOPS
Funding: €40,5 million CEF grant for works
State of play
• Purchase of equipment; upgrading of existing infrastructure (2018)
• Completed Procurement procedures for all activities
• Physical implementation expected to take place from 2019 onwards
• Expected commissioning in November 2021
