The European Investment Bank provided €373 million of loan financing to Terna for the SAPEI HVDC interconnector, supplying EU-backed capital support alongside Terna’s own expenditure for the approximately €750 million project to connect Sardinia with mainland Italy. This financing was granted after environmental safeguards had been verified by Italian national and regional authorities and formed part of the EU’s efforts to support energy security and sustainability through strategic grid infrastructure.
