Production of energy from renewable sources
Snam has installed photovoltaic plants in various properties that it owns (regional offices and maintenance centres) and at several gas storage facilities.
In 2016, the total number of systems reached 1,154 units (+13% compared with 2015). This increase mainly involves the installation of 135 new back-up systems.
In 2016, the installed power rose by 154 kW compared with 2015, from 786 kW to 940 kW (+20%).
The total energy produced by renewable source plants increased by 14% compared with 2015 rising from 711,700 kWh to 844,600 kWh in 2016. This increase is due to both the new systems installed in 2016 and to the connection of systems installed in previous years which had not yet been connected to the grid.
Performance indicators, involving photovoltaic plants and high-efficiency heat generators for the transportation sector, have reached and exceeded set targets a year early.
