Since 2012 EdS Infrastrutture is a E.S.CO. (Energy Services Company) and has obtained the UNI CEI 11352 for the 'delivery of efficiency service for the reduction and optimization of consumption and use of renewable energy through the analysis of requirements, the management of the design, construction, operation and maintenance of facilities, at customer sites.
EdS Infrastructure has also qualified for the design and construction of systems for the production, processing and distribution of energy (cat. OG9 and OG10), for unlimited amounts

EdS Infrastrutture with partner Smart Power offers services "tailored" to meet the diverse needs of clients, both public and private. The team of highly qualified engineers - at the service of the Division Energy Efficiency improvement company - is able to address every need in order to achieve their goals.
The synergy between EdS Infrastructure - with many years of experience in the field of energy, systems, remote control and management of contracts in Project Financing and Smart Power - group leader in the design of high-tech solutions for lighting systems through software owner and an extensive sales network active in the Italian territory - is the ideal solution for the successful continuation of projects to improve efficiency of public lighting in Italy.

In a context where energy costs have a trend of steady growth and the European Union proposes the energy transition towards a model independent of fossil fuels, the energy takes on a different connotation, switching from "a commodity" to that aspect strategic and economic importance.
Public and Privates need interventions to reduce energy consumption, through the adoption of more efficient systems and equipment and the integration of energy supply through renewable energy systems.
In recent years, strong know-how gained in the energy sector and in order to meet the needs of savings and the environment dictated by the new regulations, EdS Infrastrutture has enhanced line of services dedicated to the energy efficiency of buildings and of systems.

In Italy there are about 9 million light points that currently use inefficient technologies in 60% of cases.
Compared to the rest of Europe, Italy is lagging behind in adopting new technologies that allow significant savings both from the economic point of view and from the point of view of environmental impact. It is estimated that only 9-13% of existing lighting points is equipped with the latest technology such as LED lamps. This technology - in addition to a considerable saving of energy compared to previous technologies - has many other advantages including the life cycle (3 to 10 times higher) and light output.

EdS Infrastrutture is responsible for the design and construction of public lighting systems and their maintenance using traditional approach or Global Service, so as to achieve the highest levels of energy efficiency. The proposed solutions range from modernization of the network technology, ensures system compliance, the replacement of lights with LED lamps of the latest generation of high efficiency. Based on many years experience and a NOC room used for this purpose - the company also offers remote monitoring, activity that allows  to constantly monitor the operation of the facilities and lighting points, intervening promptly in case of failures and adjusting the flow light to traffic conditions and times.

Benefits for Public Administration

• Saving energy and maintenance costs
• Modernization / renovation of systems (with a consequent increase in their useful life)
• Ensures system compliance (in reference to light pollution)
• Private investment in the implementation of interventions (Third-Party Financing - Project Financing) with immediate payback for municipalities
• Technical assistance and innovative management of systems with use of integrated systems and remote control

Design and implementation of integrated high-tech systems for energy saving:

Efficiency of lighting, air conditioning, heating;

production and distribution of electrical energy;

management and control of consumption.

Design and implementation of efficiency measures for industrial systems - in particular hospital, airport, port, thermo-technical systems, plumbing, ventilation, systems of regulation and control, communications, telephony, data networks, complete automation systems of supervision and remote control.

Using, when necessary, the mechanism of third party financing (TPF) or Project Financing, Eds Infrastrutture provides - without any direct financial commitment to the customer - the diagnosis, the project, the efficiency measures and energy management post intervention, stipulating a multi-year contract that allows the company to pay for itself with the results of the intervention (energy saving) and with national incentives to energy efficiency and renewable sources.

Project Financing

The project financing identifies an achievement system works through the work and private financing, offering a solution to the infrastructure deficit through the use of available resources in the capital market. It is a system which allows the award of the design, implementation and management of a public or private means of the competition of a private investor, the capital of which will be paid by revenue from the operation of the work for a period contractually determined.

Project Financing for public administrations

The Art. n. 153 of the italian Code of  Public Conracts also provides for the procedure of the private initiative with which the government may consider proposals for the creation of public works or public utility is not present in the programming tools of public works approved by the same contracting

Benefits of Project Financing

Possibility to build public or private works in the absence of available funding;
Greater certainty on cost and time investment;
Distribution of risks and revenues;
Greater efficiency and effectiveness in the management phase of the project;
The fact that the design phase is entirely left to the private party and see the involvement of specialists, provides the guarantee of a higher quality of design, reduced implementation timing and initiation of economically viable projects.
