“The acquisition of Energon Facility Solutions – declares Paolo Quaini, Director of the Energy Services Division
and Environmental Services - is the first important step on the path that aims to make Edison a leader in energy services even in market segments in which it was not yet present, such as the Public Administration and services for the tertiary sector"

“This company – continued Quaini – historically rooted in the territory, with important long-term contracts with the Public Administration, is a choice consistent with the objectives we have set ourselves. The confirmation of the current management and the integration with Edison will guarantee stability and I am sure they will allow for strong growth”.

The transaction offers Edison the opportunity to enter the most important market segment for energy efficiency, that of services for the Public Administration, which has a value of over 2 billion euros a year and represents approximately 50% of the whole sector. Safeguarding and promoting the value and effectiveness of Energon Facility Solutions, with the aim of strengthening collaboration with the territory-

Edison will contribute an ability to compete on the market, thanks to its financial solidity, the development of synergies in the procurement of electricity and gas and cross-selling actions on its customer base.

Energon Facility Solutions serves over 1.800 buildings including public facilities, hospitals, social housing, schools and condominiums in Trentino Alto Adige, Veneto, Friuli Venezia Giulia and Lombardy. In 2016 he registered a
turnover of around 36 million Euros and a contract portfolio of over 100 million Euros, thanks to the daily contribution of 130 people, managers and key resources for the future development of the business.

“We are happy and professionally proud to have completely restructured and relaunched a company in a deep financial and economic crisis in just two years. On the other hand, we realized that the
significant technical and commercial skills and competences of Energon Facility Solutions, in particular towards the Public Administration, require complex corporate structures and a significant financial commitment - declare Gian Luca Guaitoli, Luca Pedani, Paolo Sandali, president and managing directors of Energon Esco.

Guaitoli adds: “Energon Esco can thus concentrate on its industrial plan which sees the company affirming its Energy Service Company business model – owner of the energy cogeneration/trigeneration plants – aimed at the private sector and the segment of institutional managers of commercial and residential.
