ROMA (LA4NEWS/ITALPRESS) – “We are building a more modern, resilient and digital network, able to integrate increasing renewables, so we can help reduce the cost of bills for families and businesses and increase security and energy autonomy”: he said in an interview with the Sun 24 Hours Pasqualino Monti, CEO and General Manager of Terna. “The crisis of 2022 has tripled energy spending in Italy. In a few months the country had to support extraordinary costs that have directly affected the competitiveness of the system. It was the time when we realized that energy is not only a commodity but an essential component of national economic security,” Monti continued.
On the role of gas in the energy transition path, Monti stressed that “the gas today is important but cannot be the future. The theme is not renewable against gas, but renewable despite a network designed for gas. Without adequate transmission ridges, every extra GW in the South is likely to remain trapped energy.” In closing, Monti stressed the importance of supply chain in the national supply chain, whose management “is no longer just a function of investment support, but a leverage to ensure the energy security of the country, respect for industrial objectives and times for the execution of the works”.
