During 2023, 23 interventions were authorized by the Ministry of the Environment and Energy Safety and the competent regional departments for the development of the national electricity transmission network, for a total value of over three billion euros in investments.
Terna announced this in a note, highlighting that "this is a new record for the group led by Giuseppina Di Foggia, confirming Terna's central role in the country's energy transition process and the constant collaboration between the company and the institutions".
The figure is up by 20% compared to 2022, when the overall value of the authorized interventions stood at over 2.5 billion euros, and has tripled compared to 2021.
The main contribution to achieving the result - explains the note - comes from western branch of the Tyrrhenian Link, the section of the underwater power line that will connect Sicily and Sardinia, worth over 1.8 billion euros.
The other branch of the work, the one that will unite Sicily and Campania, was authorized in 2022. Another important Terna work authorized in 2023 is the Sa.Co.I 3, the 200 kV direct current submarine cable that will connect Sardinia, Corsica and Tuscany, with a total transport capacity of up to 400 MW.
In addition, it is also worth mentioning the two interventions, both worth approximately 50 million euros, which are part of Terna's activity plan to increase the safety and efficiency of the high and very high voltage electricity grid in the areas affected by the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Milan -Cortina 2026: the 19 km underground cable power line in Val di Fassa (Trento) 'Moena-Campitello' and the 22 km connection, also in underground cable, between Vandoies and Brunico (in the province of Bolzano).
