Greece is in advanced discussions with the European Commission to secure funding support for Admie. The initiative forms part of the country’s broader recovery strategy and focuses on strengthening electricity transmission infrastructure.
Strategic Capital Increase Initiative
According to Newmoney, the talks center on enabling state participation in a planned €1 billion share capital increase for Admie. The proposal includes reallocating additional resources from the Recovery and Resilience Facility beyond previously approved measures, in order to support the state’s contribution.

Long-Term Development Programme
The funding is linked to a ten-year development programme covering the period from 2025 to 2034. Approved by the national energy regulator, the plan includes investments in electricity transmission, digital systems, and cross-border interconnections. These projects are intended to support modernization of the country’s energy network.
Enhancing European Energy Security
A positive outcome from the European Commission would signal support for Greece’s use of recovery funds and highlight the role of its infrastructure in regional energy systems. Cross-border interconnections remain a central element, aligning with broader EU initiatives aimed at strengthening energy security across member states. These initiatives have been promoted at the European level, including by Ursula von der Leyen.
Modeling EU Recovery Fund Utilization
If approved, the measure is expected to rank among the largest examples of energy infrastructure financing in Greece supported by EU recovery funds. A core objective of the initiative is to accelerate Admie’s investment programme over the next decade, using available balances from the Recovery and Resilience Facility to cover a significant share of the estimated €510 million state contribution.
This funding structure also illustrates how recovery resources can be directed toward long-term infrastructure projects, particularly in areas such as grid development, cross-border connectivity, and energy system stability across Europe.
