ASSO~ ELET~ TRICA
Assoelettrica represents 60% of the electrical energy produced or sold in Italy, and 85% of that distributed. That alone would suffice to justify the association’s commitment to the cause of electric mobility. Given that change must be embraced and encouraged, Assoelettrica’s position is that the most effective tools in this regard are economic measures (incentives, tax deductions, depreciation opportunities for company fleets) designed not least to heighten the positive attitude of users toward a new kind of mobility: The development of charging systems, and of the Single National Platform for the spread of information on charging columns; the introduction of electric mobility in local planning schemes, and more besides.
The task of Assoelettrica - a member association of the Confindustria network, with over 70 members - is to protect its interests in dealings with the institutions, both politically and economically, helping with the analysis and solution of problems related to the energy sector. Assoelettrica was formed in 2002, when UNAPACE incorporated the trade unions association of private electrical companies. Today it takes a new step, checking by way of assoRinnovabili for possible instances of convergence. A sign of change happening in a market - the energy market - which is moving steadily towards the goal of sustainability.
