Slovenia / Italy: Slovenian and Italian transmission system operators ELES and Terna have signed an agreement to upgrade their shared electricity network, launching a $290 M (€250 M) project that will increase cross-border transmission capacity by 600 MW – a rise of more than 50 %.

The project aims to enhance energy security and market integration between the two countries, with construction expected to begin in 2029 and completion planned by the end of 2031.

“With an additional 600 MW of cross-border capacity, Slovenia is solidifying its role as a key electricity hub between Central and Southern Europe,” said ELES CEO Aleksander Mervar. “This is a strategic investment ensuring reliability, resilience, and connectivity of our grid in the decades ahead.”
