On a recent article published by The Voice of Business, the Italian top manager recalled Terna's strong commitment aimed at guaranteeing
"ever-increasing electricity service-quality levels and to support the current energy transition with innovative technological solutions". Ferraris also believes that an acceleration in investments in infrastructure is the enabling factor for a rapid transition. Terna has allocated over the next ten years 12 billion euro for investments destined entirely for the benefit of the Country,
"with positive economic and social impacts for Regions and local communities". These investments are to achieving increasingly interconnected and technologically-developed power systems, thus reducing environmental impact.
