Terna S.p.A.’s board approved the company’s half‑year results for the period ending 30 June 2026. The report highlighted a challenging macro‑economic backdrop marked by geopolitical tensions, energy‑market volatility and inflationary pressures in Europe. In Italy, electricity demand rose 2.5 % compared with 2025, while renewable sources supplied roughly 43 % of total electricity consumption.

Installed wind and solar capacity in Italy reached 60.5 GW, still short of the 2030 target of about 107 GW set by the National Energy and Climate Plan. Terna invested more than €1.58 bn from January to June 2026, a 19.8 % increase over the same period last year. Second‑quarter investment jumped to €1.069 bn, up 41.3 % year‑on‑year. Chief Executive Pasqualino Monti said the figures reaffirm Terna’s solid financial position and its role in enabling Italy’s energy and digital transition.
