Appointments, changes in sight in Rome's utilities

Change at the top for Acea and Atac after the designation of Donnarumma at the helm of Terna and that of Simioni at the head of Enav - The candidacies on the track and the choices of the Giunta Raggi

Appointments, changes in sight in Rome's utilities

The great waltz of public appointments will soon also have repercussions on Rome and in particular on two of its main utilities: the Acea, the publicly traded electricity and water company, e the tomography, the transport company of the Capital.

The appointments of the Government of Acea's number one, Stefano Donnarumma, at the helm of Terna, And that of Paolo Simioni, CEO of Atac, at the head of Enav – in the match on appointments for large public subsidiaries – oblige to renew the top management of the Roman local utilities and to do it quickly because by May the meetings of Terna and Enav will install Donnarumma and Simioni in their new roles.

This is why in Rome the totonomine has already started. If there are no twists and turns, considering that the Roman appointments are mainly up to the Giunta Raggi - even if for Acea it will have to contend with private shareholders, starting with the Caltagirone group - and also considering that the pentastellato mayor of Rome expires in a year and it is not particularly solid and finally that the internal turbulence of the Five Stars is never lacking, the rumors speak of a possible arrival from Lombardy for the leadership of the former municipal energy company of the capital.

In pole position Luca Valerio Camerano is appointed CEO of Acea, For outgoing A2a which will not be renewed due to the subtle game of political and statutory balances between the Municipalities of Milan and Brescia, which are the strong shareholders of the Lombard multiutility. Of course, if he becomes Acea's number one, Camerano – who also has the advantage of being Roman and of knowing the capital's problems very well – will have to regain the trust not only of private shareholders but also of the new mayor in a year's time. because Raggi has practically no chance of being reconfirmed at the helm of the city after the bad performance provided by her Giunta.

For Atac, however, the game is more complex because there are more than one candidates for the role of CEO in place of the outgoing Simioni. In pole position is Cristiano Ceresatto, current head of Personnel and number two of Atac, but we cannot exclude the leap forward of Giovanni Alberto Campisano, expert engineer of public transport and current head of staff and of the secretariat of the councilor for Mobility of Rome, Pietro Calabrese. Nor can we rule out the Ceresatto-Campisano pairing with the former in the role of CEO and the latter in that of General Manager of Rome's troubled municipal company, but certainly the new Capitoline appointments won't be long in coming.
