However, selecting these projects is a complex task because there are multiple objectives, criteria, participants and alternatives involved. This paper aims to develop a multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) method for appropriately assessing and prioritizing cross-border electricity interconnection projects considering technical, economic, environmental and social criteria. Additionally, this work analyzes interconnection effects on the resilience of interconnected power systems. To verify its validity, this method is applied to prioritize new Spain-France interconnection infrastructure projects. From the results obtained, the technical and environmental criteria have proven to be the most important, since cross-border electricity interconnection projects are aimed at better market-coupling, less congestion and higher reliability while minimizing environmental impacts. In short, the proposed methodology provides a comprehensive view of the impact of these projects. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/PID2019-104711RB-100 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc-nd https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/deed.es 5.3 2024 ENGINEERING, MULTIDISCIPLINARY 22 / 179 = 0.123 2024 Q1 T1 COMPUTER SCIENCE, INFORMATION SYSTEMS 46 / 258 = 0.178 2024 Q1 T1 1.016 2024 Computer Science Applications 2024 Q1 Safety, Risk, Reliability and Quality 2024 Q1 Modeling and Simulation 2024 Q1 Information Systems and Management 2024 Q1 10.8 2024 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Yusta, Jose M.
