BUSINESS OUTLOOK
Following the acquisition of Softeco Sismat and Selesoft and the strategic development programs identified by the management, TerniEnergia will complete the transformation process and will launch a phase of relaunching and reorganizing added-value businesses in the sector of smart services and solutions that allow the efficient use of natural resources, developing and implementing these solutions in the fields of power generation, energy saving and sustainable mobility. These businesses will be added to the evolution of asset management activity for the production of energy from renewable sources, energy efficiency, recovery and transformation of raw materials into profitable resources within the environmental industry.
In particular, in the environmental sector, the group aims to complete the new liquid industrial waste treatment plant in Nera Montoro (TR), which will allow to intercept a substantial demand (58,000 cubic meters per year) in a high technological market segment, with high growth prospects. The repositioning of activities will also enable the development and production of smart technologies for the transmission and distribution of energy (smart grid), the flexible and timely management of production and energy consumption, energy efficiency, management of renewable energy and clean tech (energy islands).
It will be so possible to integrate the activities in renewables, energy efficiency, asset and energy management with systems and innovative solutions with high added value, that allow to introduce new technologies in the industry capable of act as a bridge between the industrial and “physical” business and the digital and “virtual” too.
Among the planned activities and, in part, already underway there are important commissions in Africa (Tunisia and Zambia) and the approach to new high potential growth markets (India) that will be the basis for managing the transition towards the Group’s new identity as a global “technology enabler”, which will be described in the guidelines of the 2018-2020 Strategic Plan. This will allow the fixed costs to be managed more flexibly and through a more rational allocation of the same, also owing to the withdrawal – decided by the Board – of the plan for the collective redundancy of the staff of the Nera Montoro’s Headquarter.
TerniEnergia has begun a deleveraging process in order to strengthen its balance sheet, with the objective of guaranteeing the financial resources necessary to support development over the next years.
