In the province of Udine, where we are present with the Torviscosa thermoelectric plant and several hydroelectric plants, we are one of the main sponsors of the Softball World Championship, while simultaneously awarding 6 local associations.
In Ivrea (TO), where we are present with several hydroelectric plants on the Dora River, the municipality was one of the main sponsors of the only Italian stage of the Canoe Slalom and Kayak Cross World Cup.
In Merate (LC), near the municipalities where we operate hydroelectric plants on the Adda River, in collaboration with local and national institutions, we sponsored the free exhibition of the painting "Narcissus" by Caravaggio (with 45,000 visitors in one month, generating visibility and economic benefits for the territory) and a concurrent competition with prizes for local primary and secondary schools.
In the province of Sondrio, in Valcamonica, and in Valcaffaro, where we operate several hydroelectric plants, the Group has allocated financial resources to third-sector and sports associations through a recurring call for proposals.

Since 2021 we have launched an innovative model of energy sharing in the condominium with the aim of promoting self-production and the use of energy produced from renewable sources. With this method, condominiums can become protagonists of the energy transition through membership in collective self-consumption groups, achieved by installing on the roof of the building a photovoltaic system with a minimum power of 20kW and the pooling of a series of benefits: environmental, with the reduction of CO₂ emissions, social and economic thanks to state incentives for self-production and the proceeds from the sale of electricity in excess of community consumption.
With our entry into FVCMS - Fondazione Venezia Capitale Mondiale della Sostenibilità in 2023 as co-founding members, we have contributed to the organization’s projects for the city of Venice and its metropolitan area, territories where we are actively present with numerous initiatives, including the Porto Marghera thermoelectric power plant and the public lighting service of the city of Venice. The Foundation aims to address the main issues of the lagoon city by promoting interventions aimed at the socio-economic revitalization of the area in a sustainable key. We contributed to the Hydrogen table, participating in the mapping of the supply chain in the Veneto region and to the VeniSIA Accelerator, which led to the creation of the spin-off Venisia - Co-Innovation Program 2024, dedicated to the international scouting of innovative solutions and startups. In September 2024, we joined the Regional Innovative Network for the hydrogen cluster - R.I.R. of Veneto, a network consisting of companies, universities, and research centers, as well as public and private stakeholders, with the goal of implementing a medium-term activity program through collaborative innovation projects between companies, research centers, and other strategic activities.
