“Today we are active, in all the regions where we operate, with important investments. We have become one of the largest players in water investments in Pnrr and today we are launching the largest water project at European level, the so-called ‘New Peschiera Pipeline’, which will be the largest water-related work in Europe, a new generation project designed with the support of cutting-edge technologies.” This was stated by Fabrizio Palermo, CEO of Acea, at the 42nd Annual Assembly of Italian Municipalities – Anci, held in the BolognaFiere room from 12 to 14 November.
“We therefore believe that we are an important partner in all regions to enable the development of water infrastructure, which the country so badly needs. Two and a half years ago the company launched an important development plan, which concerns not only the water world, but also the electricity grid sector and the environment – explained Palermo – Today this is pushing us to invest at a very significant pace and the results are visible”.
“The company has implemented significant changes across the sectors in which it operates. In light of this, we have also revised our guidance for the end of this year and believe that we are well positioned to continue on this growth trajectory.”
“Water resources are currently becoming an increasingly crucial issue to support the country’s development.” This was expressed by Fabrizio Palermo, CEO of Acea, at the 42nd Annual Assembly of Italian Municipalities – Anci, held in the BolognaFiere room from 12 to 14 November.
In a 100 m2 exhibition space at the Bologna exhibition, Acea presented efficiency models of water and electricity networks and waste treatment plants to the Mayor, through a display of cutting-edge technological solutions such as 3D viewing robots and drones. Among the advanced tools that allow us to improve the reliability and operational continuity of power plants are artificial intelligence systems for waste recognition and predictive maintenance models for water and power infrastructure and waste processing plants.
“Water is a driving force of development and support for many fundamental sectors: from agriculture to industry, from energy to artificial intelligence, but it is also an essential element to guarantee the safety and health of citizens – Palermo concludes. – The fight against perennial pollutants is fundamental and to be able to realize it we need to have adequate infrastructure, which we must invest in to transform it into a second generation infrastructure, capable of predictive maintenance, carrying out independent analysis and, consequently, contributing to its optimization”.
