Cross-border electricity links will be central to the global energy transition, and Türkiye is well placed to benefit, the chairman of the International Council on Large Electric Systems (CIGRE) said.

"Interconnections are going to play a pivotal role in the energy transition in the future and Türkiye has a very nice position in it," Konstantin O. Papailiou told Anadolu in Istanbul, where the Paris-based council held its 144th board meeting.

He pointed to cross-border power links already taking shape, such as those between Spain and Africa, and ongoing talks between Saudi Arabia and Greece, saying "all these regions are very important for the future interconnections."
Türkiye is synchronously connected to the European grid via Greece and Bulgaria, with additional links to Georgia, Iran and Syria, while planned projects with Iraq and Azerbaijan could strengthen its role as a regional power hub.
