(Finance) – It was held at the IBM Studios to Milanthe fourth edition of the event ‘The restart, free to think‘, born from an idea of Nicola Porro, director and founder of the NicolaPorro.it site. A meeting entirely dedicated to the theme ofpower, with particular reference to energy-intensive companies, intelligent savings, energy security, moving on to the role of networks and the electric dilemma on gas. The event was opened by the original column “A Mosquito in the soup”, conducted by Porro with Joseph Cruciania four-handed press review with liberal, irreverent tones and highly appreciated by the public.
Gilbert Picket BrotherMinister of the Environment and Energy Security: “I claim Italy’s victory in setting a price cap on the price of gas, which is a ‘bazooka’ against speculation. It is like fixing the price on the stock exchange and this has had an immediate, because already on December 19, within a quarter of an hour, I saw gas prices drop, which is still there and therefore it was not clear why it should cost so much. starting from the next Arera price definition. I think there will be a good decrease”.
Second Michele ChrysostomPresident of It is in the: “The interesting fact tells us that the number of requests for connection to the network from families and businesses has grown exponentially. We have experienced an energy crisis and this has made us aware of volatility and rising prices. In this sense, Italians are supporting this change towards an energy transition. Furthermore, we have investments in the pipeline with projects awarded under the PNRR for the electricity grid, to be implemented within the two years ahead or at least in a time horizon, to 2026″.
Fabrizio DiAmatoPresident of Maire Tecnimont he declared that: “The conditions for the restart are there. 2022 was closed with a good GDP, not recorded in recent years. For energy issues we are certainly in a more critical phase, but the conditions for a recovery are there. It is clear that we must not wait, there must be trust between institutions and companies and have a long-term vision. The energy sector needs short, medium and long term planning. Only in this way can phenomena be predicted. Our system, compared to Europe, is not in bad shape and this allows us to look a little more optimistic. It is clear that we need to work on the energy transition and on the sectors in which we are leaders. I firmly believe that hydrogen will be the vector of the future, if I had to imagine the replacement of fossil fuels I would imagine it with hydrogen. There’s still work to be done, of course, but it could sustain demand in the future.”
Mauro MicilloHead of IMI Corporate & Investment Banking of Intesa Sanpaolo: “Our job is to give funding to those projects that are compatible with our principles. In recent years we have worked to give substance to sustainability. Clearly we need a culture for sustainability and transition. Two topics that are part of our credit assessment process. Companies that walk the path of transition and sustainability have fewer risks. And we knew that a long time ago.”
For Renato MazzonciniChief Executive Officer and General Manager of A2A: “The forecast of the drop in the cost of gas should not lead to excessive optimism. In fact, it is necessary to take into consideration the climatic factors, with a particularly mild winter so far, full stocks and the drop in industrial production. The outlook must be to make ourselves as independent as possible from an energy point of view. Today we have managed to become independent of Russian gas, but we still are compared to other politically unstable countries. Europe has kept the bar straight on the issue of transition and energy security. Our company is working both on this front and on that of the circular economy. Important investments and adequate infrastructures are needed to ensure that our country is in a better situation than the current one”.
Among others, took part in the event: Francesca Teutonico, Head of Marketing IBM Italy; Mario Abbadessa, Senior Managing Director & Country Head Hines Italy; Paolo Scaroni, Deputy Chairman of Rothschild & Co.; Tommaso Ferrario, Founding Partner of AMTF Avvocati; Vittorio Sgarbi, Undersecretary of State for Culture and art critic; the entrepreneur Donato Coppi; Filippo Ghirelli, Executive Chairman & Founder at Genera Group; Lucia Leonessi, Director General of Confindustria Cisambiente; Davide Tabarelli, Founder and President of Nomisma Energia; Stefano Saglia, Director of ARERA; Gianfilippo Mancini, CEO of Sorgenia.
March 1st is scheduled DigiGreen day, the IBM event dedicated to not only environmental, but also economic and social sustainability. DigiGreen Day was born from the idea of creating aggregation and comparison to face the important challenges we face with a sense of urgency: energy efficiency, climate change, production chain crisis and inflation. The press office of the event was managed by Ital Communications of Attilio Lombardi.
