Ansaldo Energia, sviluppo e innovazione sboccano sul mare

Starting next year, next-generation gas turbines will be produced by Ansaldo Energia, which has acquired the technology from Alstom and will ship them from Genoa to all international destinations. This is the new train of development and innovation on which Ansaldo Energia is riding, having invested €65 million to build a new facility in Cornigliano where all the components of the large turbines, designed and manufactured in the Campi and Fegino factories, will be assembled and then sent to sea. Ansaldo Energia has acquired the right to use the necessary space from Ilva, covering over 10,000 square meters. As per the agreement with the Port Authority and Ilva itself, Ansaldo Energia will be able to share the adjacent quay, connected by a road link to the new facility, which will also provide access to public roads. The new Cornigliano facility under construction is a key milestone in the growth and internationalization of Ansaldo Energia, which presented it with the company's top management, Cassa Depositi e Prestiti and CDP Equity, the group's largest shareholder with 44.8%, a representative of the Asian giant Shanghai Electric, the group's partner with 40%, and institutions from Genoa and Liguria. Ansaldo Energia has been waiting for many years for a seafront outlet, vital to its development in Genoa, and the turning point has finally arrived. "In just a few months," CEO Giuseppe Zampini said in his speech, "because when you want, things can be done." GIUSEPPE ZAMPINI, CEO of Ansaldo Energia Initially, in compliance with the airport's flight safety cone, the turbines will be loaded onto barges for later loading onto ships in port, but Ansaldo Energia is working with ENAV to enable direct loading onto ships. GIUSEPPE ZAMPINI, CEO of Ansaldo Energia Founded in 1853, Ansaldo is the oldest factory in Italy. A key piece of our country's history and future, said Mayor Doria. MARCO DORIA, Mayor of Genoa and the Metropolitan City But what are the latest-generation large turbines that Ansaldo Energia will produce with the technologies acquired from Alstom, and what are their characteristics? We asked the group's head of engineering.
