Alpiq is Switzerland’s largest electricity company and one of the leading integrated operators in Europe.
Established in 2009 from the 100-year experience of Atel and EOS and listed on the Zurich Stock Exchange, Alpiq has a presence in more than 20 European countries and is active in the generation, distribution and sale of energy and the provision of energy services.
With a total installed capacity of around 6,400 megawatts, generated by a diversified portfolio of hydroelectric, thermoelectric, nuclear and wind power stations, Alpiq makes an important contribution to the security of the electricity supply in Switzerland and Europe.
Present in Italy since the liberalisation of the electricity market in 1999, Alpiq today ranks among the most significant players in terms of size and turnover, covering the entire value chain of the energy market.
In generation, Alpiq Produzione Italia Management operates the Group’s assets: four gas-fired thermal power stations, three hydroelectric power stations and three wind farms. In addition to these plants it has a shareholding in the company M&A Rinnovabili, a jv with the Moncada Group, which since 2008 has been developing, building and operating plants in Italy for the production of renewable energy, in particular wind, solar and biomass.
The marketing of electrical energy is instead managed by Alpiq Energia Italia, an ideal partner for large production centres, industrial consortia, public administrations and, more generally, entities with consumption of more than 1 GWh per year, to which advantageous ‘tailor-made’ solutions are proposed. The supply of energy is flanked by a portfolio of innovative services such as complete energy flow management, emission trading, energy and portfolio management.
Finally, the Group’s presence in Italy is rounded off by the provision of energy services by the companies Alpiq InTec Milan and Alpiq InTec Verona, which operate mainly in the market of the installation and maintenance of electrical and mechanical systems.
