New paradigm in energy markets: Beltrame Group strategies and solutions

Gianmaria Zanni, Group Energy COO, participated in the round table organised by Unione Industriali Torino on the evolution of energy markets, providing an incisive analysis of current dynamics and offering unprecedented perspectives for companies trying to navigate this complex landscape. Zanni began by illustrating the current trend in energy markets, highlighting how volatility has become a constant rather than an exception. ‘We can no longer speak of temporary spikes,’ he stressed, ’but of a new paradigm of structural instability that requires completely renewed approaches.’ Particularly interesting was his analysis of how energy prices are formed on a day-to-day basis, what the market drivers are, and what Italy's situation is in comparison to other European countries. In addition, in the final part of the speech, Zanni explained what could be some solutions for reducing and stabilising energy costs adopted by AFV Acciaierie Beltrame: - Direct self-consumption through installation on the roof or adjacent land - PPAs (Power Puchase Agreements) of both a financial and physical nature - Formula ESCo contracts - Participation in renewable development consortia - Remote self-consumption
