Action
- Signed an agreement to install the energy infrastructure of the logistics platforms of the City of Milan Agribusiness Market.
- In 2022, A2A was the first in Italy to achieve the challenging goal of certifying thermal and cooling energy produced from renewable sources and distributed in its district heating and cooling networks. The model chosen by A2A is encapsulated in its "Heating and Cooling 100% GREEN" specification, which represents an important innovation for the Italian energy system.
- This year A2A consolidated its position among the leading operators in the generation of electricity from renewable sources in Italy through the acquisition of new wind and photovoltaic portfolios in Puglia, Sicily, Sardinia and Lazio.
- Through its subsidiaries A2A Calore e Servizi and Linea Green, the Group develops and manages the district heating plants and network for a length of over 1,260 km. In 2022, the distributed heating and cooling energy will amount to 3,056 GWht.
- Hitachi Rail and A2A, through its subsidiary A2A Energy Solutions, have signed a 20-year agreement with the Virtual PPA (Power Purchase Agreement) formula, which envisages the construction of new photovoltaic plants for the production of renewable energy at the Hitachi sites in Reggio Calabria, Naples and Pistoia. More specifically, A2A will install more than 40,000 solar panels over the next two years on both land and on the roofs of Hitachi Rail's production facilities, covering a total of more than 100,000 square meters.
