1. Production
Electrical energy does not occur naturally: it must be generated, by transforming energy from primary sources — which may be renewable (sun, wind, water) or traditional (fossil fuels) — into electricity.
2. Transmission: our role
Terna is at the very centre of the supply chain: being responsible for transmission, it is also responsible for the management, maintenance and development of Italy’s high and extra-high-voltage electricity grid.
3. Distribution
Electricity reaches its end users — namely towns, homes, businesses and companies — through extensive medium and low-voltage infrastructure and thanks to primary and secondary cabins.
4. Sale
The users are the final link in the electricity system’s supply chain. Sales companies market electricity to agricultural, industrial and tertiary enterprises and to households.
