Terna plans to invest €16.6 billion in Italy's power grid from 2024 to 2028 to enhance energy security and competitiveness. The investment aims to reduce grid congestion and renewable energy wastage while keeping consumer costs stable.

The report from IEEFA indicates that Terna's transmission charges could remain around 4% of electricity bills until at least 2028. Key to success is ensuring stable funding without affecting tariffs. The report encourages reinforcing the north-south corridor and improving interconnections.

Terna's revenue primarily comes from regulated activities, which incentivizes efficient investments. The company has also issued €1.6 billion in green bonds, showing its capacity to attract funding. Italian regulators have tools to support grid modernization while limiting consumer bill impacts.
