GETEC and Axpo join forces to provide energy supply to citizens and to essential services
16th February 2023 – GETEC Italy and Axpo Italy have signed a one-year agreement by the fourth power operator on the free market in Italy, for the supply of approximately 50 million cubic meters of gas, guaranteeing environmental comfort to the GETEC Group customers directly or through its subsidiaries Atmos, managing the district heating network of the City of Rozzano, and Energy Wave that supplies heat to over 35,000 private citizens.
The supply is part of the Energy Services dedicated to over 2,000 buildings across most of the Italian territory, from Piedmont to Lazio, passing through Liguria, Lombardy, Emilia-Romagna, Marche, Tuscany, Umbria and Abruzzo.
Many of the concerned buildings include essential services for citizens, e.g. 30 hospital facilities, more than 250 non-hospital healthcare facilities such as outpatient clinics, veterinarians, counseling centers; as well as 700 schools and more than 70 university buildings and research centers of primary importance.
The supplies also include the Cogeneration Plants which power the district heating system of the City of Rozzano, 200 residential buildings including retirement homes for the elderly, university residences, the houses in L'Aquila built after the earthquake and over 550 public buildings including town halls, prefectures, police stations, and barracks.
“The doctors who work in the buildings served by GETEC, as well as the families who send their children to the schools that we are proud to call our customers, and the members of all the buildings in our portfolio, they all can count on the environmental comfort provided by a large Group such as GETEC. GETEC has shown analytical skills and immediate adaptation to a complicated context in terms of energy supply as the one we are currently experiencing. In Axpo, we have found the right partner to get through this volatile and uncertain period of time.” Filippo Ruatti adds, GETEC Italy’s Head of Energy Management & Performance Division.
