Italien

Dank des Energietransports über das Netz an Hochspannungsleitungen, die die Alpen überqueren, ist Alpiq seit Jahrzehnten auf dem italienischen Markt aktiv. Seit der Gründung von Alpiq Energia Italia im Jahr 1999 ist das Unternehmen direkt in Italien präsent. Heute verfügen wir in Italien über ein Team von mehr als 100 engagierten und kompetenten Mitarbeitenden.

Vertrieb und Origination

Im Vertriebs- und Origination-Geschäft hat Alpiq im Laufe der Jahre durch die Lieferung von Energie an Endkunden erhebliche Marktanteile gewonnen. So liefert Alpiq jährlich mehr als 5 TWh Strom und Gas an grosse Industriekunden. Dank ihrer erstklassigen Handelskapazitäten bietet Alpiq auch langfristige Strombezugsvereinbarungen und strukturierte Produkte an. Alpiq ist auch in der Lage, die von Drittanbietern produzierte Energie zu kaufen und zu verwalten, und zwar nicht nur die konventionelle, sondern auch die erneuerbare.

Stromerzeugung

Die Stromerzeugung ist seit jeher der Hauptpfeiler der Präsenz von Alpiq in Italien. Das erste Kraftwerk in Italien wurde 2004 gebaut und in Betrieb genommen. Seit 1999 hat die Gruppe rund 800 Millionen Euro in Italien investiert. Heute verfügt das Unternehmen über einen diversifizierten Kraftwerkspark: thermoelektrische Kraftwerke und Kraft-Wärme-Kopplungsanlagen sowie Windparks, Fotovoltaik- und Kleinwasserkraftwerke. 

Starke Präsenz auf den italienischen Energiemärkten

Die Dynamik des italienischen Energiemarktes hat der Gruppe die Möglichkeit gegeben, ihre Präsenz in diesem Gebiet zu verstärken. Im Laufe der Zeit hat Alpiq in Italien verstärkt investiert und ist Partnerschaften mit grossen Industriekonzernen eingegangen, um Gaskraftwerke (San Severo, Novara und Vercelli) und Windparks zu bauen. Heute umfasst der Kraftwerkspark von Alpiq Italien 14 Anlagen mit einer Leistung von rund 770 MW, davon 220 erneuerbare Energien (Kleinwasserkraft, Windkraft und Fotovoltaik) und 550 MW Gaskraftwerke mit einer jährlichen Gesamtleistung von rund 2'500 GWh. Alpiq setzt auch auf Investitionen in Speicher und Wasserstoff.
Dank ihres hochflexiblen Kraftwerksparks kann Alpiq die Versorgungssicherheit und die Dienstleistungen für das Stromnetz gewährleisten und dabei höchste Standards in Bezug auf Arbeits- und Umweltsicherheit einhalten.

If these quality levels are not met, under certain conditions the customer is entitled to automatic compensation, the value of which is set by ARERA.

Qualitätsstandards für den kommerziellen Verkauf (in englisch)

Commercial sales quality standards are defined in the “Testo Integrato della Qualità della Vendita “(TIQV) and are divided into:

Specific standards: they define the time within which certain services must be performed
General standards: define the minimum predetermined percentage value of services to be performed within a maximum timeframe

The quality standards to which Alpiq Energia Italia is subject are:

Maximum time for a reasoned response to written complaints: 30 calendar days
Maximum time for billing rectification: 60 calendar days, 90 calendar days for four-monthly invoices
Maximum rectification time for double billing: 20 calendar days

In the event of non-compliance with the specific quality standards set out in the table, the seller shall pay the end customer an automatic basic compensation of EUR 25.

This basic automatic indemnity shall increase in relation to the delay in the performance of the service as set out below:

if the performance takes place beyond the standard, but within twice the standard time, the basic automatic compensation is paid;
if performance takes place beyond twice the standard but within three times the standard, twice the basic automatic compensation is paid;
if the service is performed beyond three times the standard, three times the basic automatic compensation is paid.

In the past year, Alpiq Energia Italia achieved the following effective general level of quality with respect to the target customers served:

Sicherheitsprüfungen nach dem Zähler (in englisch)

ARERA Resolution 40/2014/r/gas introduced new provisions on safety assessments of gas utility systems.

As required by the resolution, they are published:

Versicherung für Endkunden (in englisch)

Anyone who uses, even occasionally, natural gas or other types of gas supplied through urban distribution networks or transport networks, automatically benefits from insurance coverage against gas accidents, pursuant to Resolution 85/2024/R/gas of the Regulatory Authority for Energy Networks and the Environment.

The insurance cover is valid throughout the national territory; excluded from it are

end users of methane gas other than domestic or condominium domestic customers with a meter class higher than G25 (the meter class is indicated on the bill)
consumers of methane gas for motor vehicles.

The guarantees provided cover: third party liability, fire and accidents, which originate in the installations and appliances downstream of the gas delivery point (downstream of the meter).

The insurance is taken out by CIG (Comitato Italiano Gas) on behalf of end customers.

For further details on the insurance cover and the forms to be used to report a claim, contact the Energy and Environment Consumer Desk on the toll-free number 800.166.654 or in the manner indicated on the website www.arera.it.

Energy Mix (in englisch)

Below is information on the composition of the energy mix used for the production of the electricity supplied, as per the obligation imposed by Ministry of the Environment and Energy Safety Decree 224 of 14 July 2023, which establishes criteria and methods for providing information to end customers.

Gas Emergency Plan (in englisch)

This section contains the provisions of the Ministerial Decree of 18 December 2019, as amended, on the National Natural Gas System Emergency Plan.

 The Emergency Plan provides for 3 different crisis levels: 

pre-alert: possible deterioration of supply following concrete, serious and reliable information such as to trigger the alert or emergency levels;
alert: significant deterioration of supply caused by exceptionally high demand or the reduction/interruption of one or more supply sources. At this level, however, the market is able to cope with the emergency without resorting to measures other than market measures; 
emergency: significant deterioration of supply as a result of exceptionally high demand or a reduction/disruption of sources. At this level, if all market measures have been implemented but gas supply is still insufficient, measures other than those of the market itself will be introduced

For each crisis level, the Emergency Plan defines a set of measures that can be activated as required.

In the pre-alarm and alert levels, all measures are considered ‘market-based’ and can be chosen from the following:

increased imports - using the flexibility of existing contracts;
reduction in gas demand - resulting from terminable contracts of a commercial nature;
use of alternative replacement fuels in industrial plants - based on specific agreements or clauses in supply contracts;
activation by Snam of any contracts entered into for the voluntary reduction of gas demand by industrial end customers.

At the emergency level, when all implemented market measures have proved insufficient to restore an adequate gas supply to meet demand, the Competent Authority may activate ‘non-market’ measures with its own measures.

Among the measures that can be activated:

interventions to increase the availability of gas in the network;
use of LNG storage with peak shaving functions;
application of dispatching rules for electricity production;
use of strategic storage;
definition of new temperature thresholds;
compulsory reduction in gas withdrawal by industrial customers (implementing, insofar as applicable, the procedures defined in Article 5 of the Ministerial Decree of 11 September 2007 on the obligation to contribute to the effective containment of gas consumption)
suspension of the supply obligation by sellers to unprotected customers;
suspension of price protection
