AGP Executive Report
Last update: 8 hours agoDigital Sovereignty Push: Italy’s state-backed Poste Italiane is betting on its €13.5bn bid for Telecom Italia (TIM) to speed up a national shift into digital, telecom and cloud services, using Poste’s 12,600 post offices and its 30 million users on Italy’s digital ID system. Heat & Air Quality: Western Europe just logged its warmest June on record, and heatwaves are also driving dangerous near-ground ozone—especially in Italy’s Po Valley—raising health risks as pollution builds in strong sunlight. Energy Storage Watch: A new 20MW/240MWh compressed CO2 storage project is set for Victoria, Australia, adding to the global push for long-duration power backup as renewables face multi-day wind/solar lulls. Grid & Tech Infrastructure: Italy’s energy sector is also seeing more “sovereign” infrastructure momentum, from telecom/cloud plans to broader resilience efforts tied to strategic sectors.
