Environmental and Social Impact Study (ESIS) and Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) for the Tunisia - Italy Interconnection

The ELMED project consists of connecting Italy to Tunisia via a HVDC submarine power cable from the Partanna station in Sicily to the Mlaabi station in Tunisia, over a total length of approximately 220 kilometers (including approximately 200 km in submarine cable), with a capacity of 600 MW and a maximum depth of approximately 800 meters, reached along the Sicily Channel. The interconnection also includes a terrestrial component in each country to connect the two converter stations to the submarine part. The Tunisian component also includes a 124 km overhead link between the Menzel Temime station and the Mornaguia station.
