Edison Energia, the Edison Group company involved in the sale of electricity and gas to businesses and families, after the fruitful collaboration of the last three years, signed a multi-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Verallia starting from 2024, which will allow it to significantly reduce CO2 emissions: savings until the end of the contract (scope 2) it will be around 170 thousand tonnes.
The energy supplied – equal to over 350 GWh – will come from a mix of renewable sources from various plants in Italy: a new photovoltaic system in Viterbo will be the primary source.
In recent days, during the CSR Suppliers Award – the recognition given to the suppliers who have stood out most for their sustainable commitment during the year – Verallia awarded Edison Energia as one of the 3 best partners in 2023.
Verallia has long decided to play a leading role in the transformation of the packaging sector, intensifying its actions – the 46 percent reduction in emissions by 2030 – and strengthening the circular and virtuous dimension of glass packaging.
“We are happy to have signed this agreement,” said Marco Ravasi, CEO of Verallia Italia, “because it allows us to make our sustainability commitment concrete and continue in the decarbonisation process through the use of renewable energy. This partnership, in fact, is part of our Group’s broader strategy to increase the share of renewable energy and follows a first PPA already signed by Verallia in Europe: a further step towards the ‘2030 Science Based Targets initiative’ for the reduction of C02.”
“The agreement signed with Verallia confirms Edison Energia’s commitment to supporting customers in the process of decarbonizing consumption,” said Massimo Quaglini, CEO of Edison Energia. “We make the experience gained over the years as a primary operator at a national level available to our industrial customers, focusing on quality of service, flexibility and personalized contracts: our goal is to be a reliable partner that accompanies them on a virtuous path and that encourages sustainable consumption choices with reduced environmental impact.”
