Rome, 30 April 2020 – Today, Fitch Ratings Ltd. ("Fitch") has affirmed its Long-Term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) and its senior unsecured rating on Terna S.p.A. at BBB+, with Stable Outlook. At the same time, the Agency has also affirmed Terna S.p.A.'s Short-Term rating of the issuer (IDR) at 'F2'.

Fitch's assessment confirms the stability of the company, as already affirmed a few days after the presentation of the 2020-2024 Strategic Plan.
