The Group expands in Abruzzo
In February, “Un Pozzo di Scienza” (“A Wealth of Knowledge”), Hera’s project for schools, celebrated its 10th anniversary.
Potential Park rated the group among the top-ten Italian companies chosen by recent graduates seeking work online, while the new HergoAmbiente technology won the multi-utility the Smau Bologna award. This was also a year in which Hera increased its presence in Abruzzo, acquiring Julia Servizi Più (Teramo) in April and Gran Sasso (Aquila) in October.
INRETE Distribuzione Energia, a company created by Hera to manage its natural gas and electricity distribution activities, became operational from 1 July, in compliance with the requirements laid down by AEEGSI (Italian Regulatory Authority for Electricity Gas and Water).
Following Rifiutologo, Hera launched a new app, Acquologo, in July, providing comprehensive information on the local water supply. Finally, HERAtech, a company that manages services including connections, technical opinions and urban developments for the multi-utility, was launched in November.
