The European Investment Bank (EIB) has signed two loan contracts with Snam, amounting to EUR 300 million and EUR 65 million, for the financing of two projects to be developed respectively by Italgas and Snam Rete Gas, the two Snam-controlled companies operating in the distribution and transmission of natural gas across the national grid.
|
La Banca Europea per gli Investimenti (BEI) ha sottoscritto con Snam due contratti di prestito di 300 e 65 milioni di Euro per il finanziamento di due progetti promossi, rispettivamente, da Italgas e Snam Rete Gas, le due società del Gruppo attive nella distribuzione cittadina e nel trasporto di gas sulla rete nazionale.
|

The two loans, in addition to the EUR 283 million loan granted in August for Stogit’s development project for the Bordolano storage reservoir, are in line with Snam’s strategy to optimise the Group’s financial structure in that they are complementary to bonds and banking facilities and are characterised by longer durations at the competitive costs which can be achieved through this kind of funding.
|
I due finanziamenti, che si aggiungono a quello da 283 milioni erogato lo scorso agosto a fronte di un progetto Stogit relativo allo sviluppo del giacimento di stoccaggio di Bordolano, rientrano nella politica di ottimizzazione della struttura finanziaria del gruppo Snam, in quanto complementari ai prestiti obbligazionari e bancari e caratterizzati da durate più lunghe a costi competitivi, ottenibili con questa tipologia di funding.
|
4 |
About 40% of Italgas’s investment plan and over 60% of Snam Rete Gas’s plan involve projects in southern Italy, in full compliance with the funding policies of the European Investment Bank, aimed at working with and developing underprivileged areas.
|
Circa il 40% del piano investimenti di Italgas e oltre il 60% degli investimenti di Snam Rete Gas riguardano progetti localizzati nel Mezzogiorno d’Italia, rientrando cosi nelle politiche di finanziamento della banca dell’Unione europea anche per gli aspetti di coesione e sviluppo delle aree meno favorite.
|
5 |
Italgas’s investment plan incorporates projects with an estimated total cost of around EUR 620 million, aimed at making its distribution network more efficient and technologically advanced, through the gradual replacement of pipes and meters, the implementation of smart metering projects and the development of new distribution networks.
|
Gli investimenti di competenza Italgas riguardano, in particolare, progetti con un costo stimato in circa 620 milioni di Euro volti a rendere più efficiente e tecnologicamente avanzata la propria rete di distribuzione, attraverso la progressiva sostituzione di condotte e di contatori e la realizzazione di progetti relativi alla telelettura del gas e allo sviluppo di nuove reti.
|
6 |
The EUR 300 million loan will be at a floating rate and will have a duration of 20 years.
|
Per queste attività il finanziamento di 300 milioni di Euro sarà a tasso variabile e avrà una durata di 20 anni.
|
7 |
Snam Rete Gas’s investments, for which the EIB will provide a EUR 65 million loan - at a floating rate and for a period of 19 years – have an estimated total cost of approximately EUR 170 million and will enable the completion of the Zimella-Cervignano d'Adda pipeline between the provinces of Verona and Lodi in the Po Valley, and the replacement of four turbines at the Messina compressor station. These activities are key to the enhancement of the Italian gas system, with a view to increasing interconnection between European gas networks.
|
Relativamente a Snam Rete Gas, gli investimenti per i quali BEI erogherà un finanziamento da 65 milioni – sempre a tasso variabile e per una durata di 19 anni - hanno un costo stimato pari a circa 170 milioni di Euro e riguardano il completamento del metanodotto Zimella (Verona) - Cervignano d’Adda (Lodi), nella Pianura Padana, e la sostituzione di quattro turbine presso la centrale di compressione di Messina, attività che rivestono una significativa importanza nella realizzazione del potenziamento del sistema gas italiano in un’ottica di maggior interconnessione con le reti europee.
|
8 |
The Stogit project, for which the EIB granted EUR 283 million last summer, involves the development of a storage reservoir in Bordolano in the province of Cremona, which is included in the TEN-E (Trans-European Energy Network) programme, providing funding to trans-European energy networks with the aim of increasing both security and diversification of supply.
|
Il progetto di Stogit per il quale BEI ha accordato nel corso dell’estate il finanziamento da 283 milioni riguarda, invece, lo sviluppo del giacimento di stoccaggio di Bordolano (Cremona), incluso nel programma TEN-E/Trans European Network-Energy, che prevede finanziamenti nel campo dei network energetici trans-europei con l’obiettivo di aumentare la sicurezza degli approvvigionamenti e la diversificazione delle fonti.
