Production | Dispatching | Sale |
---|---|---|
Thanks to our power plants across the country, we contribute to the country’s energy security by ensuring maximum efficiency, flexibility and programmability | We distribute the energy produced in our power plants on energy markets and we are also dispatching users for the plants owned by our subsidiaries | Through EP Energia Italia, we sell electricity to industrial customers, offering high-quality, reliable and competitive services |
Availability of our power plants
EP Produzione has a key role as a producer of energy from programmable sources: ensuring that demand is met and serving as a back-up for renewable energy that, by its nature, is subject to fluctuations in terms of availability of the sources used to produce it, such as wind, sun or water resources.
The requirements of the electricity system have changed, specifically as a result of the progressive rolling out of renewable energy forms. Traditional plants, once responsible for producing energy on a constant basis, are now started up to overcome the non-continuity of the alternative production methods
Asset integrity
Managing assets for us means prioritizing the protection of people, the environment, and infrastructure. To this end, EP Produzione has developed a corporate procedure that details the evaluation methodology, timing, and responsibilities of the asset integrity process. The purpose of the guideline is to enhance asset integrity and manage plant risks, including seismic risks through operational procedures and assessment checklists.

fThe new capacities of Tavazzano and Montanaso and Ostiglia
Through implementation of two projects to construct efficient new units at the Tavazzano and Montanaso and Ostiglia power plants, EP Produzione plays a leading role in the decarbonization roadmap. The efficiency of the new units will reach 62% for both projects, designed to support the integration of hydrogen in the future, and will serve a crucial role at least until 2035-2040, in the face of a gradual reduction in overall gas production, which will, however, affect the least efficient plants first.
Strengths
- The project is in line with the objectives of Italy’s Integrated National Energy and Climate Plan in terms of decarbonization and the security of the national electricity system
- Reduction of emissions into the atmosphere, thanks to the installation of state-of-the-art technology, in line with the most stringent limits set by the European Community (BAT).
- Hydrogen future thanks to H-class gas turbines prepared for hydrogen-mix combustion.
- Spin-offs and opportunities for the local community, in terms of both employment and development and improvement of the production sector’s technical skills
- Compact dimensions: complete re-use of already existing areas and infrastructure so no additional land is needed
- Redevelopment of the Borgo San Giovanni area with the demolition of the fuel oil tanks, to make space for the construction of the new unit
