Italian power grid operator Terna expects to get the go-ahead from the European Union for a power line project to link Italy to Tunisia by summer next year, Reuters quoted the company’s Chief Executive as saying on Thursday.
In a press conference on the group’s new plan, Stefano Donnarumma said that from a technical point of view the line should be ready by 2027, but he added it could be earlier.
Italy is looking to become a European energy hub and creating a link to Africa to import electricity generated from renewable energy sources is important.
