Especially for the countries in the EIJLLPTST interconnection this imposes challenges for effective cross-country power trading. This article explores the option for a future completely interconnected power grid in the Middle East and possibly connected to a Europe or worldwide grid.
A well-built trans-Mediterranean backbone grid can hedge the profound evolution of regional power generation, transmission, and consumption. To date, only Turkey and the Maghreb countries (i.e., Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia) are connected with the Continental European Synchronous Area.
Enhancement of domestic grids, substations, and harmonized grid codes and frequency, voltage, and communication technology standards among all trans-Mediterranean countries are prerequisites for implementing regional grid interconnection.
