---|---|---|
Promoting energy efficiency at cross-sectoral level and the achievement of the European objectives within 2030 by updating energy systems and disseminating innovative solutions that also benefit companies and the monitoring of existing projects. Getting consumers more aware of this topic through exchanging information for a better understanding, and the transformation of the market for greater energy efficiency. |
Increase of production and energy from renewable sources and of the share of national energy consumption from renewable sources. Use of local energy sources in compliance with applicable EU law and use of technologies with greater effect on the economic chain at a national level. Development of mature technologies and promotion of research and innovation. | Promotion of initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions at a cross-sectoral level, through the development of shared strategies on different governance levels and the creation of sustainable and replicable solutions aimed at limiting the negative impacts of global warming. |
*Climate change mitigation is not to be considered as an area of impact, but as the effect of areas related to energy efficiency and renewables
By studying the national and global scenario, Hera Group has established (for each impact area of the Energy driver) specific short and medium-term goals, which are verified and renewed annually.
Overall, the Csv ebitda connected to the “Pursuing carbon neutrality” driver is 216 million euros, or 31% of the total Csv ebitda.
54% of this share of ebitda derives from activities related to the promotion of energy efficiency through:
- commercial offers to energy customers that incorporate services and tools to reduce consumption;
- energy efficiency services for the Public Administration, businesses and condominiums,
- industrial cogeneration;
- progressive energy efficiency in public lighting services (with particular reference to the extension of the number of municipalities where only electricity from renewable sources is used, where the consumption of electricity per equivalent inhabitant is less than 50 kWh/inhab. and where all the managed light points are LED).
The remaining 46% refers to energy transition and renewable energy sources. In this area, margins are recorded deriving from:
- the sale of renewable electricity with Guarantee of Origin (GO) and methane gas with offsetting of CO2 emissions;
- electric power distribution (this activity is admissible and aligned with the EU taxonomy),
- district heating (for the portion of heat generated from geothermal sources);
- the production of renewable electricity from biogas deriving from anaerobic digestion of waste and from landfills;
- biomethane production.
