The ACEA Group's e-mobility plan starts from Rome. As part of the Rome Electric Mobility Plan, the Services Conference approved the ACEA project which kicks off the installation of over 100 charging stations for electric vehicles throughout the capital.
The project is part of the development plan in the electric mobility sector that the company intends to carry forward in the coming years: in Business plan 2020-2024recently approved, the installation of 2.200 electric columns is expected (of which over 2 in Rome), for a total investment of 29 million euro.
The first 100 columns will be installed in Rome in the coming months and will supply energy produced from renewable sources. Two different types will be used: one with alternating current, "Quick", for a standard recharge and the other with direct current, "Fast", instead for a faster and more efficient recharge.
As regards the choice of the areas where the recharging points will be located, a study was conducted to understand the areas with the greatest demand from users, so as to favor a broader distribution for citizens.
The implementation of the columns will be carried out by ACEA Innovation – Group company that deals with the management of charging infrastructures (Charge Point Operator) – which recently acquired “Electric Drive Italia” – company specialized in the field of design and implementation of ICT management platforms for the provision of mobility services electric.
The Group also operates outside the Rome area. Umbria Energy – a Group company operating in Umbria – was awarded the tender called by the Municipality of Terni as agent of a group of companies which provides for the installation of 46 charging stations in the municipal area.
"In the coming years we will invest significantly in electric mobility, with the aim of becoming one of the main players for e-mobility in Rome, but we are also looking with interest outside the territory of the capital", he declared Giuseppe Gola, CEO of the ACEA Group.
“Entering this market is in line with our strategy which aims to support the energy transition to encourage the development of sustainable mobility, particularly in large urban centres, where the environmental impact is stronger – added Gola -. To facilitate this transition, it is a priority to develop capillary recharging infrastructures in our cities, supported by an intelligent, flexible and resilient distribution network".
