Definition English: 
The Seven Countries Interconnection Project (SCIP), which will interconnect the grids of Libya, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Iraq, Turkey and Lebanon, was launched at the beginning of the last decade. The interconnection will allow for cost reduction, increased reliability, secure operation of networks and economies of scale, with cost savings from the construction of larger generating units with higher efficiency. The future plan will include enlarging the seven countries power grid to link it with Europe via Turkey in the north and Morocco in the west.
