Alpiq Energia Italia

Alpiq Energia Italia S.p.A. is the Italian operating company of the Swiss energy group Alpiq, a leading Swiss electricity producer and energy service provider active throughout Europe. Alpiq has been present in the Italian market for decades, historically linked to the transportation of energy along the high-voltage power lines crossing the Alps, and it established a direct presence in Italy with the creation of Alpiq Energia Italia in 1999. Today the Italian business employs a team of more than 100 staff. In Italy, Alpiq operates across two main pillars: Sales and Origination, and Power Generation. Through Sales and Origination, the company has gained considerable market share by supplying energy to end customers, delivering more than 5 TWh of electricity and gas annually to large industrial customers. It also offers long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) and structured products, drawing on trading capabilities, and purchases and manages conventional and renewable energy produced by third-party plants. Power generation has historically been the main pillar of Alpiq's Italian presence. The first Italian generation plant was built and commissioned in 2004, and since 1999 the Group has invested around EUR 800 million in Italy. Alpiq Italy's generation park today comprises 14 plants producing about 770 MW, of which roughly 220 MW are renewable (small hydro, wind and photovoltaic) and 550 MW are gas-fired. Over time Alpiq has partnered with major industrial groups to build gas-fired power plants (San Severo, Novara and Vercelli) and wind farms. As part of the Alpiq Group, the Italian company shares the group's purpose: "together for a better climate and an improved security of supply". The group is headquartered in Lausanne, Switzerland, employs about 1,400 people, and has a strong asset base spanning hydro and thermal plants, nuclear, wind farms, photovoltaic facilities and battery energy storage systems, alongside energy trading in electricity, gas and other energy products across many European countries.

Alpiq's presence in Italy predates the formal establishment of its Italian company. According to the group, Alpiq has been active in the Italian market for decades, historically thanks to the transportation of energy along the high-voltage power lines that cross the Alps. A direct presence in Italy was established with the creation of Alpiq Energia Italia in 1999. Since 1999, the Alpiq Group has invested around EUR 800 million in Italy. Power generation has historically been the main pillar of Alpiq's Italian presence. The first power generation plant in Italy was built and commissioned in 2004. Over time, Alpiq's increased investment in Italy saw it partner with major industrial groups to build gas-fired power plants — including at San Severo, Novara and Vercelli — as well as wind farms. Alongside generation, Alpiq built a Sales and Origination business in Italy, gaining considerable market share over the years by supplying energy to end customers. The Italian business today supplies more than 5 TWh of electricity and gas to large industrial customers every year, and offers long-term Power Purchase Agreements together with structured products, supported by trading capabilities. It also purchases and manages conventional and renewable energy produced by third-party plants.
