Hungary, Slovenia to build high-voltage power line

Budapest, November 9 (MTI) – Hungary and Slovenia will complete a high-voltage power line linking the electricity networks of the two countries by the end of 2018.

Under a recent amendment to an agreement between the two countries, the new line will connect Heviz, in southwestern Hungary, and Cirkovce in Slovenia, Hungarian power grid company Mavir reported on Monday.

Hungary’s electricity grid is already linked to all other neighbouring countries.

According to Mavir’s statement, the new link will contribute to completion of the European Union’s internal electricity market and to the higher integration of the EU’s regional markets. The new line will significantly increase the security of supplies both in Hungary and in Slovenia while contributing to efforts to further diversify supply power sources, the document added.
