Introduction and context of the updated Master Plan

This document presents the 2025 edition of the Mediterranean Master Plan, incorporating updated scenarios and latest developments in the Mediterranean countries’ energy landscape. It is a key deliverable of the TEASIMED 2 Project, co-funded by the European Commission, to promote greater integration, sustainability and efficiency in the Mediterranean Power System. This update captures the revisions made in the regional energy scenarios, as outlined in the TEASIMED 2 Scenarios Report.

This Mediterranean Master Plan is aligned with both global and regional climate objectives, building on the commitments set out in the Paris Agreement (2015) and subsequent EU initiatives, including the EU Green Deal (2019), the Fit-for-55 package (2021), and the REPower EU initiative. These frameworks target achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 and accelerating the decarbonisation of the energy sector in response to geopolitical tensions and energy security concerns.

This Master Plan is an update on the 2022 report while focusing on the 2030 targets. It also prioritises the most mature infrastructure projects, essential for advancing regional decarbonisation, integrating renewable energy sources, and enhancing cross-border interconnections. These projects aim to improve energy security, boost market efficiency, and reduce the environmental impact of electricity generation.

The TEASIMED 2 Master Plan will be complemented by a separate document: the Mediterranean Electricity Interconnections Perspectives (MEIP), which will focus on covering the projects scheduled for implementation by 2040 and beyond, as well as list the exploratory initiatives to enhance interconnectivity in the region’s power systems.

Together, these documents ensure a strategic, phased approach to regional energy development, balancing immediate priorities with long-term ambitions.

This Master Plan is part of the broader efforts of Med-TSO, an association of 20 Transmission System Operators (TSOs) from 20 Mediterranean countries, established to foster regional cooperation and facilitate the creation of an integrated Mediterranean energy market. The plan is developed in alignment with ENTSO-E methodologies, ensuring coherence with wider European energy strategies while addressing the unique dynamics and challenges of the Mediterranean region.
