In conversation with the maintenance manger of Agroittica Lombarda SPA

Why did Agroittica Lombarda join the AENEAM project?

Agroittica Lombarda, an Italian SME specialised in the farming and processing of fish products, joined AENEAM to accelerate its energy transition, improve internal skills, and strengthen its approach to energy management. The company was looking for practical solutions to reduce energy consumption and improve the performance of its operations. 

What challenge was the company trying to address?

The main objective was to reduce energy consumption and improve energy efficiency across the production site. As energy costs and sustainability requirements continue to grow, the company wanted to identify concrete opportunities for optimisation and prepare future investments. 

What support did AENEAM provide?

Through the AENEAM support programme, Agroittica Lombarda benefited from:

• Training activities and webinars on energy efficiency and decarbonisation;
• Expert guidance on energy management and sustainable transition;
• Assistance in identifying incentives and financing opportunities for energy-related investments.

In addition, the company received a comprehensive energy assessment carried out by highly qualified experts, providing a solid basis for future decision-making.

What results have been achieved so far?

Participation in AENEAM led to several tangible outcomes:

• 6% reduction in energy consumption;
• Development of a plan to address energy inefficiencies;
• Increased awareness and skills among employees;
• Improved capacity to evaluate and plan energy efficiency investments. 

The project helped transform energy management from a series of isolated actions into a more structured and strategic process.

Who benefited the most from the project?

The entire organisation benefited from the project, particularly:

• Technical staff;
• Maintenance teams;
• Employees involved in investment planning and decision-making

The training activities and expert support strengthened both technical knowledge and the company's ability to plan future improvements.

What are the next steps?

Building on the insights gained through AENEAM, Agroittica Lombarda has already planned a series of multi-year investments aimed at further improving operational efficiency and reducing energy consumption. The company expects these measures to deliver long-term benefits in terms of competitiveness, sustainability, and energy cost reduction.

“The AENEAM project enabled us to accelerate our energy transition by combining expert support, practical training, and access to knowledge on financing opportunities. The energy assessment helped us identify concrete actions, while the skills acquired by our teams are supporting the implementation of future investments and continuous improvements”
