Eni’s power generation sites are located in Ferrera Erbognone, Ravenna, Livorno, Taranto, Mantova, Brindisi and Ferrara. In 2009, power generation was 24.09 TWh, up 0.76 TWh or 3.3% from 2008, due mainly to higher production at the Ferrara plant (Eni’s interest 51%), in connection with the coming on line of two new 390 megawatt combined cycle units.
At December 31, 2009, installed capacity was 5.3 GW (4.9 GW in 2008). Power availability in 2009 was supported by the growth in electricity trading activity (up 3.27 TWh from 2008 or 49.5%) as a consequence of higher volumes traded on the Italian power exchange benefiting from lower purchase prices. By 2013 Eni intends to complete its plan for expanding its power generation capacity, targeting an installed capacity of 5.4 GW1. The development plan is underway at Taranto (Eni 100%) and Ferrara (Eni 51%), as well as at the recently acquired Bolgiano plant (Eni 100%).
