Project 142 - CSE 4 (2nd BG-GR interconnector and South BG corridor) The project concerns the construction of a new AC 400kV interconnection between Bulgaria and Greece and new AC 400kV overhead linesat the south part of Bulgaria. This project will increase cross border transfer capacity between Bulgaria and Greece and contribute to the safe evacuation of renewable power in the area.

The later are necessary in order to alleviate congestions in the area of south Bulgaria that are restricting power exchanges through the new interconnector. Investment needs The project 142 aims to increase the transfer capacity in the predominant North-South direction by the construction of a new interconnector between BG and GR and specific enhancements in the South part of the 400kV Bulgarian transmission system. Project will increase transmission capacity in range of 660-870 MW for dominant direction from north (RO+BG) to south (GR), or in average for 80%. GTC on the boundary considered will reach up to 1000 MW in 2030. In opposite direction, GTC increase is in range 0-400 MW, or in average for 30%. GTC on the boundary considered will reach up to 650 MW in 2030. Project 142 support market integration in mid-term, 2020EP, and brings significant benefit to SEW of near 30 MEUR. On a long-term, largest benefits on SEW appear mainly in Vision 2, as can be seen in the Figure below that depicts SeW:ΔGTC ratios for the 2030 Visions. Project Cost Benefit Analysis This project has been assessed by ENTSO-E in line with the Cost Benefit Analysis methodology, approved by the EC in February 2015. The indicators B6/B7 reflect particular technical system aspects of projects based on a summation of qualitative performance indicators, in line with the CBA methodology; these cannot be used as a proxy for the security of supply indicator. The assessment of losses variations induced by the projects improved in the TYNDP 2016 compared to the TYNDP 2014 with a comprehensive all year round computations on a wide-area model capturing all relevant flows. The results must however be considered with caution and not totally reliable due to their very high sensitivity to assumptions regarding the detailed location of generation which are not secured.

OHL costs deviate depending on terrain, while SS costs vary depending on arrangement of bubars and switchyards. Uncertainty ranges about 10% of CAPEX.

In EP2020, Vision 1 and Vision 2, transfer capacity increase brought by new projects, assists market integration internally in the Region and with the rest of Europe. SeW is created due to the capability to increase the generation of low cost thermal production in the Balkan peninsula with an associated increase in CO2 emissions. In Visions 3 and 4, SeW is created mainly because of the increased RES penetration brought by new projects and is accompanied by a corresponding CO2 reduction..
