GO15 ASSOCIATION
Terna’s CEO, together with the executives of GO15, will contribute to the strategic guidance of the

Rome, 28 June 2023 – Giuseppina Di Foggia, Terna’s Chief Executive Officer and General Manager,
took on the role of Vice-President of GO15 (GO15.org), the international association of Very Large
Power Grid Operators that together manage about half of the world’s energy flows.
In this role, Giuseppina Di Foggia will contribute, together with the executives of the association, to
the definition of GO15 strategic guidelines, which include key issues of the energy transition and the
security of electrical systems, such as the role of interconnections, grid’s resilience for a more and
more efficient electrical system, development of renewable sources and storage systems to achieve
decarbonisation targets.
Terna thus consolidates its commitment to the process of integration and coordination of the major
international electricity grids and strengthens its role as international leader and enabler of the energy
transition. Within GO15, as well as being a member of the Steering Board and of the Governing
Board, the Italian transmission system operator also co-chairs the strategic working group on
“Resilience, infrastructure development and interconnections”.
Founded in 2004 on an initiative by Terna and other transmission system operators following the
blackouts that affected various countries around the world, GO15 defines strategic guidelines to
ensure the security, stability and sustainability of the transmission grids.
The association is constantly committed to fostering bilateral and multilateral international
collaboration for a fully decarbonised and sustainable future, through the sharing of studies and
research as well as the exchange of best practices and specific knowledge on the management of
high voltage infrastructures, with the aim of identifying technological solutions and indications at an
international level that allow the increase of the efficiency and resilience of grid infrastructures, even
considering more frequent and extreme climatic events.
