The HVDC Italy–Greece is a monopolar submarine power cable link between Italy and Greece with a maximum transmission power of 500 megawatts. It went in service in 2001.
The HVDC Italy–Greece begins in the static inverter plant Galatina situated at 40.1647°N 18.1303°W in Italy and is implemented in its first as underground cables. Then it crosses the Ionian Sea as a long submarine cable. It reaches shore just a few kilometres south of Albanian border at 39.6833°N 20.0192°W, where the long overhead line to Arachthos static inverter station situated at 39.1833°N 20.9633°W starts. The cathode is implemented as bare copper wire on the Italian site, the anode is installed in a bay in Greece at 39.6744°N 20.0681°W.
