Sherpa Atlas map of Florence and Prato, Toscana: substations coloured by grid demand, data centres and power lines

Grid capacity map of Italy

Terna publishes the data-centre connection requests it has received, region by region, and the renewable and storage requests on its grid. The edition colours regions and substations by the demand already asked of the grid, so congested areas stand out before a site is chosen.

What the map shows in Italy

Substations and grid capacity in Italy, with the grid around them

Substations by voltage

Transmission and high-voltage distribution substations, with operator, voltage and area.

Published grid status

Room to connect where the operator states it; the demand already requested of the grid where that is what is published. Always the operator’s own figure, with its date.

Upgrades and statements

Grid reinforcements and new substations from the operators’ plans, and what operators, regulators and governments have said about capacity.

Demand and supply around it

Data centres, plants and projects near each substation, with power fed in and power drawn shown apart.

By regions

Every region of Italy is coloured by what is planned and published there, and each opens its own list of sites, plants, upgrades and statements.

Also in the Italy edition

Substations and grid capacity, data centres, plants and their owners, district heating, fibre and internet exchanges, grid upgrades and statements.

Who uses it

How teams use the grid capacity map of Italy

Developers of data centres and large loads

Find substations with room to connect, and see where the demand already asked of the grid makes a connection unlikely before a site is optioned.

Renewable and storage developers

Compare areas by the generation already planned and the room left for more, and follow the upgrades that will open new capacity.

Investors and lenders

Test whether a project’s connection date and grid assumptions hold against what the operator has published.

Grid operators, utilities and consultants

See where demand and generation requests concentrate across operator boundaries, on one map.
