Half-yearly financial Report at June 30, 2013 - A2A

Half-yearly financial report at June 30, 2013Innovation, development and researchincreased number of hours worked in cogeneration mode in the summer months by the 5MWe nominal power turbogas equipment located in the Via Rossi district heating plant.The total savings achieved in this way will count towards the issue of white certificates (EnergyEfficiency Allowances).A2A S.p.A. goes for electric mobilityA2A S.p.A. has for a long time been involved in an electric mobility project, known as e-moving,which it promotes in conjunction with Renault and the municipal administrations of Bresciaand Milan together with a number of private companies which have joined in the testing.A2A S.p.A. is the promoter and coordinator of the initiative and has built the infrastructure forelectric car recharging in the municipalities of Milan and Brescia, while Renault has provided47 vehicles from its zero emission range (saloon cars and small vans) which are equipped withthe latest generation lithium-ion batteries.240The two Lombardy municipalities have set out to become the reference cities for electricmobility in Italy, being the first, in conjunction with A2A, to begin developing an entire cuttingedgestructured electric recharging network: a total of 270 recharging points, of which 100public points in Milan and Brescia (roads, parking lots etc.). Private individuals owning theirown electric vehicle (car/scooter) can apply for a card allowing them to top up with electricityat the public columns by visiting the dedicated portal www.e-moving.it.The objective of e-moving is to test every component of the electric mobility operating model:the technology and the locating of the recharging infrastructure, the processes andcommercial solutions, the interaction between the recharging network and the vehicles, thesupply of energy, the billing systems, battery management and car maintenance.The e-moving project has today turned out to be the most complete and advanced platformwithin the sphere of the testing being promoted by the AEEG (the Electricity and GasAuthority) to identify the model to be used for developing public recharging systems. Testingwith the AEEG will continue until 2015, with the data and experiences of this first phase, whichhas been in progress for more than two years now, being shared on a half-yearly basis. In thelast half year two separate discussion tables were set up with ENEL and Repower to make theinter-operability of the public recharging infrastructure and the recharging cards usable byend customers effective, as the AEEG requires of electric vehicle public recharging systems.Reduction of nitrogen oxides at the Brescia waste to energy plantFollowing the start of the industrial use of the new high-dust catalyzers on all threecombustion lines at the end of 2010 (an initiative included in a European research project
