The EDF Group has been present in Italy since the 1970s, working to offset the country’s power demand. Today, through Edison, the second largest integrated electricity company in Italy, EDF Fenice, an energy and environmental services company, and EDF EN Italia Spa, a subsidiary of EDF Energies Nouvelles dealing with wind turbines and photovoltaic panels, EDF is committed to investing in sustainable industrial growth in Italy.

Interconnections

Interconnections have played a very important role in meeting Italy's electricity needs since the late 1980s, after the nuclear moratorium. The Italian HV transmission network is strongly interconnected with those of the neighbouring countries, in particular France and Switzerland.

Currently, total available winter daytime interconnection capacity is 8,040 MW. This capacity results from eight 380-kV lines, nine 220-kV lines and one DC line between Apulia and Greece. Imports are no longer needed for structural reasons but depend on market conditions.
