Power Generation

Eni's power generation sites are located in Ferrera Erbognone, Ravenna, Livorno, Taranto, Mantova, Brindisi, Ferrara and Bolgiano. In 2010, power generation was 25.63 TWh, up 1.54 TWh, or 6.4% from 2009, mainly due to higher production in particular at the Brindisi and Livorno plant.
As of December 31, 2010, installed operational capacity was 5.3 GW 1 (5.3 GW in 2009).

Power availability in 2010 was supported by the growth in electricity trading activities (up 4.04 TWh, or 40.9%) due to higher volumes traded on the Italian power exchange benefiting from lower purchase prices.
By 2014 Eni intends to complete its plan for expanding its power generation capacity, targeting an installed capacity of 5.7 GW.

The power generation development plan mainly refers to: (i) revamping of the recently acquired Bolgiano plant (Eni 100%); (ii) upgrading of the Taranto plant (Eni 100%); and (iii) construction of a new biomass power generation plant at Eni's Porto Torres industrial site which is currently under remediation.

The combined cycle gas fired technology (CCGT), ensures a high level of efficiency and low environmental impact. In particular, management estimates that for a given amount of energy (electricity and steam) produced, using the CCGT technology instead of conventional power generation technology, the emission of carbon dioxide reduces of about 5 mmtonnes, on an energy production of 26.5 TWh.
(2) Capacity available after completion of dismantling of obsolete plants.

In 2010 electricity sales (39.54 TWh) were directed to the free market (70%), the Italian power exchange (18%), industrial sites (8%) and others (4%).
In 2010, electricity sales increased by 16.4% to 39.54 TWh, driven by a slight recovery in electricity demand and growth in the client base, and mainly related to higher sales on open-markets (up 2.74 TWh) benefiting from higher trading and higher volumes traded on the Italian power exchange (up 2.43 TWh).
