The rating affirmation follows the publication of Italgas’ Strategic Plan 2026-2032 and reflects S&P’s expectation of strong operating performance of the Group, supported by RAB growth, an acceleration in gas distribution tenders, synergies from the integration of 2i Rete Gas, and a supportive regulatory framework.
