Italy link work to start 2014

摘要

RTE expects to start work in 2014 on the French stretch of the new 1,200 MW interconnector between the Savoy region and Italy, the French transmission system operator said October 22.This is a year later than RTE had hoped when it launched public consultation at the beginning of 2012. The work should take two-to-three years.The 320-kV interconnector will mitigate the current saturation between France and Italy on the two interconnectors running from Albertville to Italy via two different routes. Together these existing interconnectors have a maximum capacity of 2,650 MW.
