Egea: The National Multi-Utility, Alba-Based

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
The Italian Utilities Industry

Abstract

Originally established in 1956, Egea has evolved to become a true multi-utility company, with business ranging from energy (sale of power and gas, district heating, gas distribution network, renewable power production, public lighting) to environmental services (integrated water cycle, industrial and civil waste collection and treatment). Thanks to its unique structure, Egea is ideally positioned to support local governments in the management of public utility services. Egea’s purpose is to bridge the gap between global markets and local communities by deploying new technologies that improve the lives of people (glocal). Egea believes that concrete efforts to achieve a low-carbon economy and implement a specific strategy for energy and environmental sustainability are opportunities for everyone: governments, energy companies, industrial companies, individuals. Egea is committed to investing and to helping to build a model for sustainable growth, focused on clean energy that can make people’s lives simpler, in full respect of the territory not only in the North-West province but also in other Italian provinces.
