Alessandro Lazzarini

Alessandro Lazzarini is a senior engineer with several years of experience in the fields of long-term energy scenario envisioning and power grid development planning. Involved since 2019 in analysing and addressing the challenges posed by climate changes to the Italian Transmission System Operator, Terna, He has contributed to the development of an innovative, probabilistic and forward-looking methodology aimed at assessing the level of resilience of the power grid to extreme weather events, in order to identify the interventions needed to reduce both the vulnerability of the grid infrastructures and the expected energy not served (EENS) to the end-users. He has also contributed to the identification and planning of new grid reinforcements evaluated with the Resilience Methodology and to the draft of the first Terna’s Resilience Plan, in which are collected all the initiatives planned by Terna to increase the transmission network resilience to extreme weather events.
