Our activities

We are the leading gas distribution company in Italy and the third in Europe. seeking new opportunities for growth in the sectors of energy efficiency and the integrated water service, using all the Group’s expertise.

Distributing gas

We are in the business of bringing gas to homes and businesses in our country, so that in our daily lives we can live with the comforts that gas offers (staying warm in winter, using hot water, cooking) and work thanks to the continuity of production in factories.

We distribute gas every day. For this reason, we work to serve all gas users: we check that the network in our cities is in excellent condition and has not even the smallest leaks, we ensure our intervention in case of emergency within one hour, we are committed to improving the network by innovating infrastructure and services, we guarantee continuity of service and ensure the cost-effectiveness of the system.

Every day we stand by those who, like you, use gas in their daily lives. We distribute gas up to the meter in your home and ensure continuity of service, network efficiency and system economy.


We are present in the major Italian cities including Turin, Rome and Venice and hold, through our subsidiaries, 35% of the Italian natural gas distribution market, but we aim to strengthen our position. We are in fact acquiring new companies, on the one hand to consolidate our presence in certain territories and, on the other, to invest in areas that do not yet benefit from natural gas distribution infrastructures. The main project concerns the methanisation of Sardinia. Here our group is planning to build over a thousand kilometres of “digital native” pipelines, with integrated sensors for remote control and preparation for the installation of fibre optics.

Competence, efficiency, innovation, reliability, safety, proximity to people. Investments in digitisation and sustainability are the main drivers of our strategy to achieve our ambitious decarbonisation targets and create value for the community.


We distribute gas locally, from delivery points to your home, where we are responsible for your meter and therefore for measuring your consumption.
We do not import, extract or produce gas. We do not even deal with the first phase of transport (the one through the large high-pressure ridges). Our aim is to take the gas from the transporter and bring it to Italian households and businesses.
