We are planning a strong development of this network, in order to supply new areas and users, with the objective to reach more than 100 GWh per year.

“ENGIE is committed to implementing the current energy revolution every day,” stated Olivier Jacquier, CEO of ENGIE Italia, – “Acting as an area architect and supporting local institutions and communities in efficient energy management. In the smart city perspective, district heating is an important component, as it guarantees, in addition to quality service, plant safety and environmental impact reduction.”

Fabrizio Puppo, mayor of Settimo Torinese, commented: “We are very pleased that the district heating network has been acquired by a strong and well known international player like ENGIE. A big group has the ability to bring new investments and development perspectives, that guarantees to Settimo’s citizens and those using the network a high quality and professional service.”

This operation has reinforced our presence in Piedmont, with 125km of district heating network, in 6 cities (Biella, Saluzzo, Fossano, Racconigi, Turin and Settimo Torinese) as well as in the neighboring Valle d’Aosta region. In this area, the network realized by our Group for the city of Aosta, supplies 287 GWh of thermal energy and serves 26,000 households.
In this region, we also operate the thermoelectric power plant in Leinì, near Turino, which produces energy supply to public institutions and private customers. This natural gas-fired power plant will supply the Settimo district heating network. Managing the energy production and supply through infrastructures allows us more flexibility for the benefit of the client.

Our Group’s professionalism and international experience guarantee stability, continuity and reliability in the service, with advantage to our customers.
