SCOPE
The chapter Energy Segment includes Acea Produzione, Areti, the Acea Ambiente, Deco and Ecogena energy production plants (Ecogena is only included for data on energy produced and Energy Efficiency Certificates). Waste-to-energy activities are also described in the chapter Environment Segment.
The Group, which operates in the generation of electricity and thermal energy, in the distribution of electricity in Rome and Formello, including management of public lighting, and in the sale of electricity, heating and gas, manages the entire chain of production and supply through the operations of separate independent Companies, as required by electricity-market regulations.
To improve the management of distribution infrastructure, Acea implements hi-tech innovative solutions — remote control, IoT and smart grids — enabling increased resilience. The increased flexibility of the grid also responds to the trend of increasing numbers of prosumers connected (see also chapters Customers and the community and Institutions and the Company).
