ACEA, Foreigners Gear Up for Italy Consolidation

On 11 November 2014 the Italian government enacted its ‘Unlock Italy’ set of economic reforms. This decree facilitates the reduction of municipal multi-utility holdings in the water sector to reduce debt. It also builds on the 2012 Development Decree (83/2012) that laid out tendering terms for awarding public water concessions to private operators, which includes longer term tariff visibility and less risk for ownership transfers. As part of 2015 budget negotiations, the government envisions greater regional consolidation to create fewer, more efficient water utilities led by potential national champions such as Acea SpA, Gruppo Hera, Iren Group, and A2A. Italy currently hosts over 100 regional water utilities.
