Crete is the largest autonomous power system in Greece. Thera is a small island in the Aegean Sea, widely known as Santorini. This study tackles with the potential impact in case of interconnection of these two island systems. The impact on the economic operation of both power systems, the expected flow between these two power systems and the fuel savings resulting from their interconnection are presented as a part of a preliminary techno‐economic study that can be also used for investigation of further interconnections in the area. In addition, some insight on the transmission losses and the level of interconnection voltage is provided.
