An integrated strategy

Focal point for our strategy

Our vision is to develop our role as an international and diversified operator, with a view to becoming:

• the reference operator at local level, ensuring maximum attention for the territory and the people
  
• the "guiding" operator in terms of innovation, research and development.
  

We intend to consolidate and reinforce our leadership position in the Italian water business, 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.

We will also enhance 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 expand in Italy, particularly through tenders, and to selectively evaluate growth opportunities overseas.

Focus on grid management and innovative services for customers

Our objective is to guarantee the grid’s resilience and enhance service quality by promoting the energy transition through the electrification of consumptions and large network services. The Plan envisages:

• the upgrade of Rome’s low voltage network to increase its resilience, available power and hosting capacity by 800MW;
  
• modernisation of the medium and low voltage network in order to enhance safety through advanced diagnostics, remote control and automation;
• the smartisation of the grid for dynamic management, control of PODs via 2G smart meters and large-scale demand response through artificial intelligence and IoT platforms;
• the development of “smart” Public Lighting; 
• the supervision of positioning in the commercial sector, improving performance and the level of service.

Operator of growing importance at national level

Our vision is to enhance complete cycle monitoring, maximising circularity, focusing on the reuse of resources, implementing and managing new end-to-end facilities.

We intend to consolidate our leadership in central Italy via:

•  streamlining of the corporate structure in five treatment sectors (Waste-to-energy, Composting, Landfills and MBT, Selection and Recycling of Plastic and Industrial Waste);
• the expansion and upgrade of existing plants (WtE, other facilities);
• closing of the treatment cycle with EoW (End-of-Waste) activities;
  

consolidation of the plastics sector, with the aim of improving profitability also through partnerships to ensure the sale of products leaving the plants.

Engineering centre of excellence

The objective is to create a single hub – ACEA Infrastructure – via the integration of various companies for the management of major projects.

Focus on renewable sources

We plan to expand our renewable resource energy generation capacity to support internal consumption and reduce the company’s carbon footprint in observance of SBTi targets. The existing solar pipeline is expected to be implemented (870 MW, of which 210 MW already authorised), also through partnerships with financial operators.
