The Justice-Climate Plan aims to ensure energy security, reduce greenhouse gases and boost economic development through a range of ambitious co-development projects around the Mediterranean.
On 20th November 2009, the French government launched an initiative under the Mediterranean Solar Plan (MSP) to study the feasibility of a high-voltage direct current transmission project.
The objective is to transmit electricity from solar or wind power plants to load centres on either rim of the Mediterranean. Medgrid represents the industrial stage of the project.
