Azienda Elettrica Ticinese (AET), the power company for the Ticino canton in Switzerland, signed the turnkey deal for an interconnection project between Switzerland and Italy.
The new line, of an unprecedented scale in Switzerland, could become the first underground merchant line project completed in Europe.
