The Cyclades project consists of the interconnection of Syros, Tinos, Mykonos and Paros islands with the mainland power grid through the Lavrio station, which will be operated by the Transmission System Operator (IPTO: Independent Power Transmission Operator) of the Greek Electricity System.

IPTO awarded Hellenic Cables a project to provide underwater 150kV cable connections linking Syros and Tinos, Mykonos and Paros, as well as setting up a 150kV terminal on Tinos.

Hellenic Cables awarded ASDG with a subcontract for the Submarine Cable Installation and Protection activities for the islands interconnection (Syros - Tinos, Syros - Mykonos, Syros - Paros) of the above mentioned scope of work. The working activities are including pull-in of the cables onshore as well as cable laying and submarine cable landfall protection (from joint bay position up to 30m water depth) on both sides of every link. 

Syros - Mykonos and Syros - Tinos interconnections were completed in second quarter of 2015, while Syros - Paros is finished in first quarter of 2016.
