UTILITY: CHANGING TO GROW
In a sector facing complex challenges – from energy price volatility to the need for investment, from digitalization to the challenge of climate change – the 14th edition of the Top Utility Report clearly shows that growth means change and confrontation. The 100 major Italian utilities operate in a changing environment, where innovation, financial stability, and regulatory certainty become decisive drivers. To accelerate, it is necessary to dialogue, to exchange experiences, to have a shared vision capable of overcoming operational constraints and regulatory complexity. This year’s title, “Utility: Changing to Grow” was born precisely for this reason: to create a space for strategic discussion between companies, experts, and institutions to jointly build the infrastructure, skills, and supply chains that will drive the sustainable growth of the sector.
