We produce electricity from Nature with wind, water, sun and natural gas.
Wind
We are the leading producer of wind energy in Italy and among the top ten in Europe.
Water
Water is an inexhaustible source of energy that belongs to Nature. And that returns to Nature.
SUN
We are one of the five leading photovoltaic operators in Italy with over 140 MW of installed power.
Natural Gas
Our plant in Sicily produces electricity from natural gas, with low emissions.
Energy Management
Through our Energy Management and with our production we actively contribute to the balance of Italy's energy system – not only are we producers, but we also contribute to the network services, thus becoming system operators.

In 2019 the electricity demand of the national electrical system amounted to 319.6 TWh, slightly down compared to the values recorded in 2018. With regard to Sicily, a region in which ERG is present with its CCGT plant and with wind and photovoltaic installations, demand of approximately 18.9 TWh was recorded during the period, down (-0.7%) compared to 2018, while in the group of regions consisting of Abruzzo-Lazio-Marche-Molise-Umbria, where ERG is active with its hydroelectric plants, the demand for electricity came to 44.7 TWh (+1.5%).
In the same period, (net) domestic electricity output was 283.8 TWh, up by 1% compared with 2018, whilst the net balance of trades with other countries recorded net imports of 38.2 TWh (-13% compared to 2018). 67% of (net) domestic output was covered by thermoelectric power plants and the remaining 34% by renewable sources; specifically, 18% of this output was from hydroelectric power, 5% from photovoltaic plants, 8% from wind farms and 2% from geothermal sources. Compared to 2018, there was an increase in wind (+14%), photovoltaic (+9%) and thermoelectric (+1%) outputs, while hydroelectric output declined (-6%) along with geothermal (-1%).
