Edelweiss Energia S.p.A.

Edelweiss Energia S.p.A. is an Italian energy-trading company and the trading arm of the Edelweiss Group. According to its corporate website, the company is active in asset-backed trading and proprietary trading, dealing every day in electricity, natural gas, oil and environmental certificates across a footprint that spans from the United Kingdom to Greece and from Serbia to Spain. Its trading desk is described as entirely Italian, and the firm says it operates on the main physical and financial commodity markets, both regulated and over-the-counter. The company traces its origins to the Edelweiss Group, an Italian group founded in 2007 from the entrepreneurial idea of Matteo Calvi, a senior trader who had worked in the E.ON Group since 2000. Edelweiss Energia has been led by Calvi as CEO, and he has served as an administrator since 2007. The group describes a gradual growth path that has made it a primary national player in the trading of natural gas, electricity and environmental certificates. Beyond pure trading, Edelweiss Energia specialises in the management of energy assets: power-generation plants, energy-storage systems, and sales and procurement portfolios. The company says it has a substantial logistics infrastructure and advanced information systems at its disposal. In electricity and environmental-certificate trading, it has established cooperation relationships with thousands of generation plants, particularly renewable-energy plants, from which it purchases electricity and environmental certificates. In 2016 the portfolio of plants managed by Edelweiss Energia was described as one of the most significant in the Italian market, positioning the Edelweiss Group as a primary operator in the commercialisation of electricity from renewable sources. In 2016 the group also decided to extend its activities into the sale of electricity and natural gas to end customers through the development of its subsidiary Sebina s.r.l. (formerly Edelweiss Servizi Energetici s.r.l.). For the development of the end-customer portfolio, Sebina relies on Edelweiss Energia's expertise in portfolio management and logistics, as well as on intra-group services provided by the parent Edelweiss Energy Holding S.p.A. to all group companies. Edelweiss Energia is a private Italian company. Its governance system, as described by the group, is based on principles of integrity, ethical behaviour, clarity and transparency, and aims to create value for shareholders and stakeholders. The company maintains an international outlook, with experience in managing cross-border flows of electricity and natural gas, and presents itself as one of the more solid and innovative trading realities in the Italian energy landscape.
