About us
For over 185 years we have been bringing gas to the homes of Italians. Over time, we have also established our presence in water services, energy efficiency and information technology. Today we are working to establish a fair and economically sustainable energy transition for all, citizens and businesses.
We are the European champion in the gas sector and leaders in energy efficiency, information technology, and in the water sector
Our industrial history has significantly contributed to the economic and social development of Italy, and the experience and expertise we have gained ensure our reliability, efficiency, and continuous innovation.
Our gas distribution infrastructure is key to supporting the energy transition in the countries where we operate, ensuring energy security. This role will be further strengthened with the acquisition of 2i Rete Gas, as presented in our Strategic Plan for 2024-2030, which marks a pivotal moment in Italgas history, enabling us to establish the European leader in gas distribution.
The digital transformation we initiated years ago will soon make us the world’s first gas utility with a fully digitised network, essential for managing renewable gases such as biomethane, synthetic methane, and hydrogen. We envision a ‘living’ network—responsive, capable of adjusting to dynamic conditions—distributing both gas and water. The application of artificial intelligence across all our activities will drive the next phase of this transformation, accelerating the ecological transition.
With a focus on innovation and a long-term vision, we are evolving into a Network Tech Company, managing technologically advanced networks and ensuring more efficient and sustainable services for a zero-emission future.

Our role
We are committed to providing efficient and safe services to the community, constantly innovating to improve the quality of life for people. We dedicate all our energy to accelerating the ecological transition by building the networks of the future, promoting innovative and sustainable solutions, and fostering positive relationships with our stakeholders.
With our vision of the future, which is based on drivers such as innovation, sustainability, circular economy and training, the Italgas Group is progressively taking the form of a 'Network Tech Company'. In the space of a few years, from a gas company we have also become an important player in water, energy efficiency and IT, active in Italy and Greece, and considered a technological benchmark at a global level
