The production of energy from renewable sources

Snam installed photovoltaic plants on several of its real estate properties (territorial headquarters and maintenance centres) and also at some of the gas storage facilities.

In 2018 the total number of plants reached 1,535 units (+12% compared to 2017) and the installed power increased by 68 kW compared to 2017, passing from 986 kW to 1,054 kW (+7%).

This increase mainly regards the installation of 168 new back-up plants.

The total energy produced by the renewable-source plants increased by approximately 8% compared to 2017, going from 1,044,300 kWh to 1,128,400 kWh in 2018. This increase is due to the connection of equipment previously installed but not yet connected to the network.

The saving is calculated at 3 sites because the remaining plants came into service at the end of the year and therefore the saving is negligible.
