Urban redevelopment
Our development and innovation projects for district heating networks and urban redevelopment are the mainstays of cities’ decarbonization strategies
Our district heating network is the largest in Italy. An extensive network of underground dual piping runs hundreds of kilometres to serve Lombardy’s main urban areas, including Milan, Brescia and Bergamo.
We are constantly working, both in and around cities, to add kilometres to our network and seize the opportunities offered by recovering industrial heat and to meet the growing demand of urban areas for heat and cool.

We are extending our network to reach steelworks, WtE facilities, data centres and renewable energy production plants to recover heat that would otherwise be dispersed and deliver it to buildings served by district heating.
To guarantee an efficient and reliable service, we at A2A Heat and Services invest constantly in the maintenance and innovation of its networks. With regular inspections and rapid intervention when needed, we make sure that infrastructures are working properly, forestalling malfunctions and optimizing performance. Monitoring is carried out in real time thanks to advanced technologies that allow us to detect anomalies and improve the management of heat and cool.
Innovation plays a crucial role in our commitment to more sustainable energy. We take part in research and development projects that aim to make networks more and more efficient while safeguarding the environment. With an approach based on digitalization and sustainability, we continue to evolve our district heating system in order to meet the requirements of the towns and cities of today and tomorrow.
