President Meloni’s statement on interconnection infrastructure between Italy and Tunisia
The European Commission’s green light for EUR 307 million in co-funding for interconnection infrastructure between Italy and Tunisia is a great success for Italy. It is a historic day, with the European Union giving the go-ahead for a project involving a Member State with a third country: a 200km undersea power line. The project will be carried out by Italian electricity grid operator TERNA and its Tunisian counterpart STEG and will create a new energy corridor between Africa and Europe, supporting energy supply security and an increase in energy production from renewable sources. Becoming a new energy hub for the entire European continent is part of Italy’s destiny, and part of our mission is to enhance cooperation with Africa in order to bring investment and development.
