Energy for Transition

In a context of significant paradigm shift in the energy landscape, F2i has launched a complex reorganisation process that has led Sorgenia to become a leading operator in the energy transition, vertically integrated, from production to the end customer, located in Italy and Spain, characterised by the horizontal diversification of energy production technologies: flexible gas combined cycles (CCGT), wind, solar, biomass, hydro and battery electric.

This is the result of a great capacity for industrial vision, which has made it possible over time to aggregate assets in the energy generation sector, both from renewable sources and from efficient combined-cycle plants that allow their development. Electricity generation, in fact, is characterized by the strong expansion of renewable energies, intermittent by nature, accompanied by flexible generation and the development of energy storage systems, which are essential to ensure the adequacy, stability and reliability of the system.

The construction of the renewables portfolio started in 2014 with around 50 MW of photovoltaic plants. Following an important aggregation and development activity, the first operator in the sector was established, which at the end of 2024 exceeded 1.1 GW of installed capacity, with a pipeline of authorized projects that will allow it to double in the coming years. In addition to the photovoltaic portfolio, additional renewable capacity was consolidated for 353 MW of wind farms and about 70 MW of biomass plants for a total of over 1.5 GW capacity from renewables, 85% of which are located in Italy and the remaining 15% in Spain; in addition to these, 3,180 MW of high-efficiency gas-fired combined cycle plants, which ensure the stability of the national transmission grid by compensating, thanks to their programmability, the intermittency and non-programmability of renewable sources. In addition, the solid sales network boasts about 1 million electricity and gas users, which are constantly increasing, thanks to the extensive use of digital technologies that optimize customer experience.

In 2021, F2i's platform was also equipped with the first independent gas storage operator in Italy, with a capacity of around 300 million cubic metres. This plant, in addition to playing an important role in balancing the gas market, provides a security service for the Italian energy system, which is particularly relevant during periods of crisis such as those faced in recent years.
