Italian electrical power grid operator Terna has just signed a
two billion euro deal with its Greek counterpart for
interconnections between the two countries, Premier Giorgia
Meloni said in joint statements to the press with Greek Prime
Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, at the end of the Italy-Greece
intergovernmental summit in Rome Monday.
On the subject of interconnections, she said, "we have an
extraordinary advantage that comes from our geographical
location in the Mediterranean, which has returned to the center
of global dynamics, as the shortest route between the Atlantic
and the Indo-Pacific.
"Italy and Greece will continue to work together on some
strategic projects such as the Blue Med and Green Med fiber
optic cables, and are committed to launching new ones.
"I am referring in particular to the agreement of approximately
2 billion euros that was just signed by Terna and the Greek
electricity transmission grid operator to double the electricity
interconnection between our nations".
