The report said EUR 10 billion has been invested into the domestic grid in the last ten years. The company announced it will promote the directive on the energy balance and environment protection, citing integration of renewable energy sources. The headline projects to be executed by 2019 are the connection between Italy and Montenegro and the construction of a link to France, but also the transmission line Sorgente-Rizziconi between Sicily and Calabria. The company is implementing the project of the Villanova-Gissi connection, planned for linking with the underwater line to Montenegro, according to the strategic plan. The overall endeavour is aimed at boosting the capacity in Abruzzo and overcoming the strain on the grid between the country’s central and southern regions.
