Descriptiontext

ADMIE Holding is a Greek publicly listed holding company (Euronext Athens ticker: ADMIE) that owns 51% of IPTO S.A., the Independent Power Transmission Operator of Greece. Established and IPO'd in 2017 following the ownership separation of IPTO, the holding exists primarily to maintain Greek State control over the national transmission system (with the Hellenic Republic legally required to hold ≥51%) while providing transparent governance and investor relations. State Grid Corporation of China holds a strategic stake in IPTO, and a board-level leadership transition placed Ioannis Karampelas as CEO in 2022.

The company's underlying asset is IPTO's national electricity transmission infrastructure, which spans 13,721 km of overhead and subsea/underground cables plus EHV substations operating at 400kV. IPTO is the sole operator of the Greek grid and is executing a multi-decade capital program encompassing the Crete-Peloponnese (€324 million), Cyclades (€247 million+ Phase A), Crete-Attica (the largest project in national transmission history), and Dodecanese (€1.5 billion, 2027 target) interconnections. These projects displace diesel-based island generation, deliver documented consumer savings (e.g., €80 million annually for Cyclades, €215 million reduction in Utility Supply Costs from Crete interconnection), and form the backbone for renewable energy integration.

ADMIE Holding generates revenue primarily through dividends from IPTO, whose own revenue is regulated by the Regulatory Authority for Energy (RAE) under a multi-year allowed-revenue framework. The 10-Year Development Plan commits €3.68 billion of investment through 2029. In H1 2025, IPTO Group reported €220 million in revenue and €152.7 million in EBITDA. The company completed a major share capital increase in June 2026, issuing 130,864,197 new shares on Euronext Athens with preemption rights abolished to fund IPTO's 2026-2029 Strategic Plan, and was designated as implementing body for the Greece-Cyprus-Israel international interconnection in 2023.

Cyprus MailGreek minister: permission from Turkey unnecessary for interconnectorGreek Deputy Foreign Minister Tasos Chatzivasileiou told Greek channel Skai on Thursday that Turkey's permission is not required for the Great Sea Interconnector, which would link Cyprus, Greece and Israel, and that planning continues as normal. Admie said about 60% of seabed surveys are done, with the remaining 40% in waters claimed by both Greece and Turkey. A navtex warning to vessels is expected soon.Cyprus MailGerapetritis on interconnector sea dispute: Greece will exercise sovereign rightsGreek Foreign Minister Giorgos Gerapetritis said Greece will fully exercise its sovereign rights in the eastern Mediterranean, confirming that frigates and upgraded F-16s, and F-35s from next year, would be deployed if Turkey sent naval vessels to escort research ships. Greece is expected to issue a navtex warning of seabed surveys for the Great Sea Interconnector, with Admie saying 60% of surveys are done, the rest in disputed waters.Capital.grΥΠΕΝ: Έγκριση περιβαλλοντικών όρων για την ηλεκτρική διασύνδεση των ΔωδεκανήσωνThe Greek Ministry of Environment and Energy approved the environmental conditions for the 2 billion Euro electrical interconnection project of the Dodecanese islands. The project, managed by ADMIE (Independent Transmission System Operator), aims to connect Kos, Rhodes, and Karpathos to the national grid via HVDC and HVAC cables, replacing expensive and polluting diesel power plants. This development is expected to save consumers between 2.8 and 3.6 billion Euros from 2029 to 2053 while increasing renewable energy capacity.Cyprus MailGreat Sea Interconnector moves ahead with Cyprus-Israel investment requestGreece’s Independent Power Transmission Operator (Admie) submitted an investment request for the Cyprus-Israel electricity interconnection to energy regulators in both countries, marking a key step under the EU's TEN-E framework. This development follows Meridiam becoming the majority shareholder in the Great Sea Interconnector project and the completion of required cost-benefit analyses confirming economic viability. The submission triggers a formal assessment by Cypriot and Israeli regulators to determine cost-sharing before the project can proceed to a final investment decision.Cyprus MailOur View: Government can no longer stall GSICyprus authorities were unaware of the deal that transferred two-thirds of the shareholding in the Great Sea Interconnector (GSI), held by Greece’s Admie, to French investment group Meridiam. The project now has increased French stakes and support from France, Greece, and the European Commission, despite the Cyprus government’s lack of commitment.Cyprus MailEU, former minister at odds with Damianos over interconnector commentsCyprus Energy Minister Michael Damianos stated that the planned Great Sea Interconnector linking Cyprus, Greece and Israel may increase rather than decrease electricity prices for Cypriot consumers, contradicting the European Commission, his predecessor George Papanastasiou, and Greek officials who expect the project to lower prices through increased competition. French asset management firm Meridiam recently acquired a majority share in the project from Greece's Admie, providing new momentum for the long-delayed initiative which aims to end Cyprus' energy isolation. The project awaits a due diligence study from the European Investment Bank to determine Cyprus' potential equity participation, with Damianos noting that one million Cypriot consumers would bear 63% of construction costs.Cyprus MailGreat Sea Interconnector ‘a European issue’, Greece’s Papastavrou saysGreek Energy Minister Stavros Papastavrou stated that the Great Sea Interconnector, a planned energy grid link between Cyprus, Greece, and Israel, is a "European issue" rather than a bilateral dispute. French asset management firm Meridiam has taken a controlling stake in the project from Greece's independent power transmission system operator Admie, which retains a minority share, in a deal described as an "important development" that creates momentum for acceleration. The project, valued at approximately €2.8 billion, aims to complete the electrical interconnection and end Cyprus's energy isolation, though it faces potential opposition from Turkey over disputed Exclusive Economic Zone boundaries in the waters between Cyprus and Crete.Cyprus MailNo confirmation of reports of navtex for interconnector surveysReports emerged that Greece and Cyprus intend to issue a navtex (maritime navigation warning) for seabed surveys ahead of laying cables for the Great Sea Interconnector, a project linking the energy grids of Cyprus, Greece, and Israel, though neither government confirmed or denied the reports when contacted. The announcement comes one day after French asset management firm Meridiam took a majority share in the project from Greece's Independent Power Transmission Operator (ADMIE), with former Cypriot Energy Minister George Papanastasiou welcoming the buyout as a sign the project had found viable financiers. However, the planned surveys face potential geopolitical opposition as Turkey claims the waters between Cyprus and Crete under its "Blue Homeland" doctrine, with previous survey attempts in 2024 having been impeded by Turkish naval deployments.CeelegalmattersKoutalidis and Norton Rose Fulbright Advise on EUR 530 Million ADMIE Holding Share Capital IncreaseKoutalidis law firm advised the underwriting syndicate on ADMIE Holding's EUR 530 million share capital increase, while Norton Rose Fulbright advised the Independent Power Transmission Operator (IPTO). The offering, comprising a public offer to retail and qualified investors in Greece and a private placement to international investors, was oversubscribed 14 times. ADMIE Holding will deploy the proceeds to fund its pro rata participation in IPTO's EUR 1 billion share capital increase, which will support IPTO's 2026-2029 Strategic Plan covering major domestic and cross-border electricity interconnection projects.KoutalidisShare Capital Increase of ADMIEADMIE Holding S.A. raised €530 million in a share capital increase oversubscribed 14 times. The funds will support its pro rata participation in IPTO's €1 billion share capital increase, enabling IPTO to implement its 2026-2029 strategic plan with €6 billion in capital expenditures.
