The Axpo Group launched an important industrial plan to also have in Italy its own production capacity, thanks to both the construction of the power plants and by the acquisition of production from plants by third party companies.
Axpo has a combined cycle power plant in Italy, with a total of 1.800 MW of installed power (the amount is related to Axpo’s share).
This plant is one of the greatest investments in the construction of new plants (about Euro1.5 billion), but also there has been a great technological effort in the field of energy efficiency and in limiting environmental impact. Furthermore, Axpo has become a major player in the long term agreements in the marketing of energy generated from renewable sources: the Axpo Italian portfolio currently includes 230 MW from wind generation.
The Italian production sites are organised as single operative companies.
They are combined cycle plants with 760 MW of available power.
Currently working are:
• Calenia Energia (85% Axpo share) at Sparanise (CE)
• Rizziconi Energia (100% Axpo share) at Rizziconi (RC)
• SEF (49% Axpo share) at Ferrara (FE)
In the renewable energy sector, Axpo, through the company WinBis SpA, followed the installation and the operational running of the wind farm CER (the Renewable Energy Consortium) by 66 MW installed in Bisaccia, in the province of Avellino.
