A strategic agreement for the energy future
Terna, leader in the management of the Italian electricity grid, has recently signed a strategic agreement with Areti S.p.A., a subsidiary of Acea S.p.A. This transaction involves the acquisition of 100% of a new corporate vehicle that will include part of Areti’s high-voltage infrastructure in the metropolitan area of Rome. The importance of this agreement lies not only in its economic value, estimated at around 224 million euros, but also in its ability to positively influence the capital’s energy system
.
Details of the operation
The perimeter of the operation includes 73 high-voltage power lines, spread over about 481 km of network, and the high-voltage components of three primary cabins. These infrastructures are essential to ensure a stable and secure energy supply in the region. In addition, the fiber optic network associated with the lines will be used both to monitor the National Electric Transmission Network and for commercial activities, thus creating new business opportunities.
Economic and future implications
The transaction is based on an estimated asset value of 203 million euros by the end of 2024, with a 10% premium on the provisional Regulated Asset Base. This approach highlights Terna’s willingness to invest in strategic infrastructures that can support the country’s energy transition. The agreement also includes adjustments related to the future confirmation of RAB 2024 and to Areti’s investments until the closing scheduled for the first half of 2025, demonstrating a long-term commitment to growth and innovation in the
sector.
A growth environment for the energy sector
In a constantly changing economic environment, the shares of major US banks, such as JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs, have shown signs of growth after the recent elections, highlighting a climate of confidence in the market. Year-to-date inflows amounted to 14.3 billion euros, exceeding the annual target already updated in July. This positive scenario is also reflected in the energy sector, where the quarterly reports of companies such as Poste Italiane are in the spotlight, contributing to a climate of optimism
and opportunity.
