A2A, nel 2025 investiti 12 milioni, soprattutto sul termovalorizzatore di Acerra

In 2025, A2A Ambiente invested 12 million euros, a 48% increase from 2024, predominantly in the Termovalorizzatore di Acerra, public lighting, energy storage systems (BESS), wind and solar power plants. The second edition of Campania's Territorial Sustainability Balance, reporting on the group's environmental, economic and social performance in 2025 and future plans, was presented by A2A's President and CEO, Fulvio Roncari.

In Campania, the company generated a total value of 44.7 million euros in 2025, including labor costs, taxes, dividends, sponsorships, and supplier orders, with 24.3 million euros going to micro and small enterprises. The Termovalorizzatore di Acerra, a strategic asset of the regional system, treated 702,000 tonnes of waste in 2025, generating 619 GWh of electricity, enough for around 230,000 families.

The plant operates using Best Available Techniques (BAT) and advanced emission reduction systems, with continuous monitoring of emissions and periodic certified analyses. In Caivano, A2A manages the STIR plant, which processed 275,000 tonnes of urban waste to separate wet from dry fractions and a cold mechanical processing plant that handled 310,000 tonnes of non-hazardous solid waste destined for Secondary Solid Fuel (CSS) production.

The Acerra and Caivano facilities host the Urban Beekeeping project, which uses beehives to monitor environmental health through the analysis of pollen, honey, and bee products. This initiative was published in the 2024 Animals journal, and the Federico II University of Naples' Veterinary and Animal Production Department launched a new research program in 2026, supported by A2A, on the use of Apis mellifera.

In 2025, the group's renewable energy plants in Campania produced a total of 22 GWh, with 16 GWh from wind and 6 GWh from solar power. In Bisaccia (Avellino), the authorisation process for a 48 MW BESS system was completed, contributing to local electrical system flexibility and renewable energy integration. A2A also promotes digital transformation in cities, supporting ABC Napoli in implementing a data collection infrastructure, with over 145,000 water meters enabled for remote reading by 2026.

In the 2025-2026 school year, more than 36,000 students and teachers participated in education projects, including Futuro in Circolo – Moving for Biodiversity, Termovalorizzatore di Acerra visits, and vocational training paths. A2A collaborates with Generation Italy to improve employability for NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training) youths in northern Naples, training 150 young people in seven professionalizing courses.

The company supports vulnerable communities, providing around 500,000 euros in 2025 to help 900 vulnerable families and 5 anti-violence centers in Campania with bill payments, energy-saving education, and inefficient appliance replacements. Two Solidarity and Renewable Energy Communities were established, one in Naples' Barra district and another at S. Giuseppe Vesuviano Youth Center in NA.
