We have historically been a partner of IPPs - independent producers for the management and offtake of energy, primarily produced from renewable sources, as an alternative to GSE's Dedicated Offtake regime. We contract tailor-made solutions for our clients, assisting them with active portfolio management featuring pricing structures that maximise asset value for the producer, minimise operational risks and stabilise revenues.

The Guarantee of Origin (GO) attesting to the renewable origin of the energy sources used to go-qualified plants (plants with Guarantees of Origin). For each MWh of renewable electricity fed into the grid by GO-qualified plant, the Energy Service Operator (Gestore dei Servizi Energetici or GSE in Italy) issues a GO certificate Edison offers to purchase GOs produced by plants under a number of different contractual formulas.

Drawing on our knowledge of the markets accumulated over decades operating our own plants, we manage the dispatching of electricity generated by third-party plants, maximising its value on the market and optimising revenue for the producer with a view to sharing the profit generated.

Combined use of sophisticated proprietary tools and external providers allows us to offer tailor-made solutions developed in-house responding to the immediate requirements of the business, which can be quickly integrated into processes and improve production forecasts.

The services we offer include:

• integrated plant management on energy markets and the Ancillary Services Market (MSD);
• for plants concerned with production cycles, withdrawal and sale of surplus production on energy markets;
• optimisation of imbalances;
• management of dispatching on behalf of the producer and simultaneous regulation of administrative tasks vis-à-vis GSE/Terna.
