It was recognized that Romania and Georgia have the potential to enhance the electricity trade between both systems and Europe and to improve the operations of their networks during both normal and emergency operating conditions. The objective of this study was to review the current and future developments of the transmission networks in Georgia and Romania and to evaluate the benefits the proposed submarine HVDC interconnection will bring to the region. The analysis also outlined the transmission grid reinforcements necessary for maximal utilization of submarine cable.
