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.
