Investimenti, per il post Pnrr dalle utility potenziale da 33 miliardi all’anno

In 2026, the completion of the Pnrr, the largest public investment plan of the post-war era, marked a significant milestone for Italy. With 194 billion euros allocated, the country feared sliding into recession without these funds. A2A, in collaboration with Teha Group, conducted a study titled "Investire per competere. Il contributo delle utility a sviluppo e occupazione del Paese," presented at the Cernobbio Forum by Roberto Tasca and Renato Mazzoncini, and Lorenzo Tavazzi, senior partner and board member of Teha Group, respectively.

The study, titled "Investimenti, per il post Pnrr dalle utility potenziale da 33 miliardi all’anno," suggests that utility companies are ready to contribute to Italy's future by allocating resources in strategic areas for the nation's competitiveness and competitiveness. The analysis estimates that energy and utility companies can generate a total of private investments worth 315 billion euros by 2035 and 825 billion euros by 2050, amounting to approximately 33 billion euros per year.

These investments will focus on renewable energy generation, electrical system flexibility solutions, electric and gas infrastructure, data centers, district heating, integrated water management, waste management and recovery, and biogas production. The investment in these sectors is expected to generate an impact of 4.1 times the initial value, potentially boosting annual GDP growth by 10% by 2050 without affecting public debt.

The study also highlights the environmental benefits, including a 36% reduction in national CO2 emissions by 2050, equivalent to 31 billion euros in social carbon costs avoided. Additionally, the investments could contribute to a complete electrification of consumption and an 81% increase in national energy independence by the same year, with reduced exposure to market volatility.
