“We have in the past supported as marine warranty surveyor on several Greek interconnector projects. These are critical infrastructure assets to shore up reliable energy supply and energy resilience between Greece’s many islands. As Greece seeks to accelerate its net-zero goals, these new interconnectors will also be key in supporting the low-cost transmission of renewable energy to more consumers.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
