Networks – gas distribution tenders
• Tenders for the assignment of the gas distribution services have to be carried out only for ATEMs (Aree Territoriali Minime), whichare clusters of municipalities (177 in the whole national territory) established by the Ministry for Economic Development
• The first tenders are expected to start in 2015 and the last ones will probably take place in 2018• Each concession will be granted for 12 years
