Greenconnector is a bi-directional HVDC interconnector project between Italy (Lombardy) and Switzerland (Graubünden). The design power is 1000 MW, with continuous overload at 1100 MW and peak overload at 1200 MW. The DC voltage is +/-400 kV DC. Greenconnector uses underground and submarine DC cables throughout its route, rather than overhead lines. Great part of the cables route will exploit a section of an existing oil pipeline, no longer in service.
Greenconnector has been included, as part of the future European electricity grid, in the 2022 ENTSO-E 's Ten Year Network Development Plan.
