• A Mediterranean super grid would help to ensure a massive renewable integration.
• The electricity corridors' infrastructure requires bilateral dependent investments.
• Long term contracts are the optimal frame to support exchanges over the corridors.
• A hybrid governance structure of the corridors is the most efficient structure.
A super grid connecting the two shores of the Mediterranean could help Europe meet its targets for integrating renewable energy. This paper assesses the business models for building a platform for wholesale renewable energy trade via electricity corridors linking the two regions of the Mediterranean basin. We demonstrate that the optimal framework for designing the corridor project is a long-term contractual agreement to coordinate bilaterally the necessary investments. Furthermore a hybrid governance structure requiring only limited regulatory adaptation seems to be the most efficient structure for facilitating investment in the corridor's infrastructure.
