Innovation
Italgas is undergoing a digital transformation process that involves not only infrastructure, but also processes and people to offer effective support to the energy transition.
Italgas Innovates
We have chosen to invest in digital innovation initiatives, now focusing on the extensive application of Artificial Intelligence across all our activities. Thanks to the significant innovation program carried out in recent years, we have today a rich data asset: on this basis, AI and Generative AI will enable more efficient decision-making, faster response times, improved service quality, and cost reduction.
Digital transformation
Digital transformation in Italgas continues to involve both the digitisation of assets and the transformation of processes and people, ensuring that innovation is not only technological but also cultural and organizational.
Our key initiatives in digital transformation include:
- Enriching our process with GenAI
- Vertical training on Data & AI
- Further enhancing the DANA 2.0 system through AI integration
- Rolling out Nimbus, our H2-ready smart meter, at scale
- Investments will also support growth and transformation abroad and in related sectors:
- €1 billion in Greece via our subsidiary Enaon, extending the network even to areas not yet reached by natural gas and enabling renewable gas distribution
- €450 million in selected M&A operations and in the water sector to transfer best practices and technologies from gas networks, completing digitalisation, and replacing pipelines to halve water losses
Digitisation
Digitisation remains a key enabler for the dispatching of renewable gases other than methane, such as hydrogen, biomethane, and synthetic methane, as well as for smart maintenance, operational efficiency, and uniform sector development.
With network digitalisation nearly completed, we are now looking at the next step: AI will unlock further opportunities to enhance operational excellence, profitability, service quality, and employee well-being.
Key opportunities include increased insights for decision-makers, additional process automation, faster response times, and reduced costs. At the same time, we are mindful of challenges such as IT system complexity, enhanced data management standards, and cyber-threat risks.
