Letter of the Chairwoman and the CEO

Matteo del Fante, Catia Bastioli

The 2015 results confirm the Group’s solid growth trend.
Terna was able to make its contribution also to the reduction in the costs of the electricity system, visible in the containment of expenses incurred on the dispatching service market and in further convergence of the zonal prices, keeping the system secure. During 2015, Terna consolidated its cooperation with other grid operators both in the context of international bodies (ENTSO-E), and at the bilateral level. The operating focus for the creation of the new interconnections provided for in the development plan is also continuing. Their entry into operation will increasingly facilitate the process of integration and coordination with the large continental electricity grids.
