At your side in your community

Managing your water services. Distributing energy. Selling electricity and gas. Recycling waste. Our one objective: to create value for the people and the community in which we operate.

Nowadays, innovation is at everyone's fingertips.

Acea sees innovation as the driving force to become more efficient, to raise the quality of life for our customers, to improve services for the residents and the community. Acea has used all this to create a new culture of innovation: an open culture, which everyone can share and take part in.

Our Group serves local communities and their citizens.

We are fully aware of our role of responsibility towards our stakeholders for our major economic, social and environmental impact. This is why our Sustainability Plan is part and parcel of our Business Plan.

Our stories

Technology, sustainability, and talent development: we tell the story of Acea through our people, projects, and initiatives for the local communities.

Management of water services

We are the leading Italian operator in the sector of integrated water services, for the number of residents served, and operate in five regions - Lazio, Tuscany, Umbria, Molise and Campania - through subsidiary and investee companies. We are also present in Latin America under partnership agreements.

Integrated and sustainable water management

The integrated management of water resources begins with a careful analysis of springs and groundwater. We check and ensure the quality of the water throughout its journey: from catchment to distribution. Similar attention is given to the wastewater collection and treatment phases.
We are committed to sustainable management of the resource, we return the purified water to the environment to continue its natural cycle. All this is possible thanks to an efficient management of infrastructures, process digitalisation and the competence of our operators.

Integrated water service management is our most important business: the new 2024-2028 Business Plan provides for investments totalling €4.7 billion for the development of high quality and reliable infrastructure, enabling the further enhancement of operational efficiency in management of the resource.

Our objectives to develop our water business

We are the leading water sector operator in Italy and the second largest in Europe, with innovative expertise and presence throughout the entire supply chain. We intend to consolidate and reinforce our leadership position in a segment that is fundamental to the country’s industrial development, with the opportunity to implement major strategic works at national level, such as the doubling of the Peschiera Aqueduct, aimed at securing Rome's water supply.
Our strategy envisages a consolidation of the water business in the served territories, enhancing the level of service offered, by:

increasing the resilience of the water systems;
optimising and innovating network management;
developing collection and treatment processes;
streamlining the corporate structure in the water business to support greater operating efficiency (through a new sub holding).

We plan to grow in Italy, particularly via tenders, and to selectively evaluate expansion opportunities overseas.

Innovation

Doubling the Peschiera aqueduct

The Peschiera-Capore aqueduct, one of the largest spring-water aqueducts in Europe and in the world, in 2018 celebrated 80 years of activity. The infrastructure - 130 km of pipelines that guarantee 80% of Rome's water supply - collects one of the best quality waters in Europe from the springs of the same name. The water arriving in citizens' homes is extremely pure, as it flows underground for 15-20 years before emerging.
