This inaugural issuance received a very favourable market response: 100% alignment with the European Taxonomy and demand outstripping supply by almost 5 times the offered amount
Rome, 15 July 2025 – Terna S.p.A. ("Terna" or "Company") today successfully launched the first fixed rate, single tranche, European Green Bond issue, with a total nominal amount of € 750 million.
The issue, which received a very favourable market response with demand outstripping supply by almost 5 times the offered amount, is characterized by high quality and broad geographical diversification of investors, with significant participation from specialized ESG funds. The European Green Bond was launched as part of Terna's new Euro 4,000,000,000 Euro Medium Term Notes (EMTN) Programme, approved in June 2025 (and supplemented in July 2025) by the Commissione Nazionale per le Società e la Borsa (CONSOB), which has been rated "A-" by Standard and Poor's and "(P)Baa2" by Moody's.
The European Green Bond has a duration of 6 years and a maturity on 22 July 2031. It will pay an annual coupon of 3% and will be issued at a price of 99.589%, with a spread of 70 basis points over the midswap.
The settlement date for the issue is scheduled for 22 July 2025.
In accordance with EU Regulation 2023/2631, it is expected that the net proceeds from the issue will be used to finance or refinance the Company's "eligible green projects", identified or to be identified based on Terna's Green Bond Framework, drawn up in July 2025 and aligned to the "Green Bond Principles 2025", published by the International Capital Market Association (ICMA), and to the EU Taxonomy, aimed at facilitating sustainable investments.
This allocation is also indicated in the Factsheet relating to the aforementioned bond issuance – duly reviewed and assessed by S&P Global Ratings Europe – and published (together with the preissuance review by S&P Global Ratings Europe) in the section of Terna's website dedicated to Green Bonds (https://www.terna.it/en/investors/debt-rating/sustainable-finance/green-bonds) without resorting to the flexibility pocket. The selected projects will be 100% aligned with the EU Taxonomy and central to the implementation of the Group's Industrial Plan.


An application will be made for the bond - at the time of the issue - to be listed on the Mercato telematico delle obbligazioni (MOT) managed by the Italian Stock Exchange (Borsa Italiana).
In continuity with the green bond issue launched on 10 February 2025, listed on the Mercato telematico delle obbligazioni (MOT) of the Italian Stock Exchange (Borsa Italiana), and with the recent establishment of the €4 billion EMTN programme, also listed on the MOT and approved by CONSOB, the reshoring of the Group's issuances to the domestic market continues, supported by CONSOB's renewed and efficient prospectus review process.
The strategy of the Group led by Giuseppina Di Foggia confirms its focus on combining sustainability and growth in order to promote the current energy transition and generate even greater benefits for Italy and all its stakeholders.
The transaction was supported by the following financial institutions, which acted as joint bookrunners: BNP Paribas, CaixaBank, Crédit Agricole CIB, IMI-Intesa Sanpaolo, J.P. Morgan, Santander, SMBC, Société Générale and UniCredit.
