The company’s strategic plan, titled “Lead. Innovate. In a changing world,” earmarks $9.5 billion specifically for the digitization and repurposing of Italian gas assets. A further $1.14 billion is dedicated to expanding and developing network capacity in Greece. Beyond physical infrastructure, the firm has set aside $570 million to pursue potential mergers and acquisitions within the distribution sector over the next eight years.

CEO Paolo Gallo emphasized that artificial intelligence acts as the foundation for this transition, with automated agents already refining operational efficiencies and service quality. By embedding smart meters and advanced grid management, the utility intends to insulate its systems against commodity market volatility and the instability of international energy supplies. These upgrades are intended to create a resilient architecture capable of handling the distinct storage and transport requirements of green molecules as the European energy mix continues to evolve.
