Terna, the Italian national transmission grid operator, has begun land-based construction of Sa.Co.I.3, the 200kV DC electrical interconnection that will link Sardinia, Corsica and Tuscany.

According to Terna in a release, the project will contribute to strengthening the European electricity market and promoting the integration of renewable energy sources.

Moreover, the infrastructure will be essential in guaranteeing the connection between the Corsican and Italian electricity systems, thanks to the construction of the Lucciana terminal by EDF, the French national electricity grid operator in Corsica.
