Fiche récapitulative
TERNA S.p.A.
The project consists of 15 electricity transmission components aimed at reinforcing and extending the Italian national electricity transmission network. Sub-schemes will be implemented over the period 2010-2013 in various regions of the country (Piedmont, Lombardy, Campania, Puglia, Abruzzo, Calabria and Tuscany).
The main purpose of the project is to improve the reliability of electricity supply, to support the efficient operation of traditional and renewable generation resources, and to reduce transmission congestion.
Due to their technical characteristics the individual project schemes fall under Annex I or Annex II of the EIA directive. The main impacts (if any) from such investments usually relate to visual impact, electromagnetic fields, disturbance during construction and impact on flying vertebrates and seabed fauna and flora.
The promoter is subject to the Public Procurement Act of Italy (Dlgs. 163/06) that came into force in 2006 transposing the EU Directive 2004/17/EC on public procurement.
