What is the development programme for electricity generation activities?

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.
