EP Produzione S.p.A.

EP Produzione S.p.A. is an Italian electricity generation company that today operates under the TTEP Italia identity within the TTEP group. It runs five gas-fired thermoelectric power plants with an installed capacity of roughly 4.6 GW and an annual output of about 12 TWh (2025), making it one of the leading electricity producers in Italy. Its plants are managed to high environmental, safety and reliability standards, and all production sites have obtained EMAS environmental registration, ISO 14001 environmental certification and ISO 45001 occupational health and safety certification. In addition to its gas-fired fleet, the company manages the dispatch of three biomass plants belonging to the TTEP group, a renewable and dispatchable source that supports the decarbonisation path of the energy system. EP Produzione is part of TTEP, a strategic 50/50 partnership between EPH (Energetický a Průmyslový Holding) and TotalEnergies, headquartered in Amsterdam. TTEP was created to build one of Europe's leading operators in flexible electricity generation. The group brings together a portfolio of nearly 30 sites across Europe — mainly gas-fired plants, biomass facilities and battery storage systems — located in Italy, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands and France. With more than 14 GW of capacity installed or under construction and annual generation close to 30 TWh, TTEP describes itself as the second-largest European operator in gas-to-power. Through its flexible assets, it contributes to European energy security and supports the growing integration of renewables such as wind and solar. Within Italy, the company operates under the TTEP Italia name and is led by CEO and General Manager Andrea Ghiselli, with Peter Černák serving as Chairman of the Board of Directors. The Italian business has announced an investment plan of €500 million for 2026–2030, aiming to reach an installed capacity of about 5.5 GW in the coming months through new production units and efficiency improvements to existing assets. The company also markets electricity to Italian businesses through TTEP Energia Italia, positioning itself as a reliable and flexible supplier for companies seeking innovation. The historical name EP Produzione S.p.A. reflects the company's origins within the EPH group's Italian activities; it has since been integrated into the TTEP brand architecture, with subsidiaries such as TTEP Tavazzano e Montanaso, TTEP Ostiglia, TTEP Livorno Ferraris, TTEP Bess Italia and Biomasse Italia. The company's public communications emphasise energy transition, decarbonisation and the stability of the national electricity system.

EP Produzione S.p.A. is an Italian electricity generation company whose identity is closely tied to the Italian activities of EPH (Energetický a Průmyslový Holding), the Czech-based energy group. The company operated under the EP Produzione name as part of EPH's Italian portfolio, and Peter Černák, who began his career at Ernst & Young and later worked at UniCredit Management Consultancy before joining EPH in 2013, served as a board member and CFO of EP Produzione S.p.A. until 29 April 2019. This period established the company as a significant operator of flexible gas-fired generation in Italy. A major turning point came with the creation of TTEP, a strategic 50/50 partnership between EPH and TotalEnergies headquartered in Amsterdam. TTEP was formed to create one of Europe's leading operators in flexible electricity generation, bringing together a portfolio of nearly 30 sites across Europe — mainly gas-fired plants, biomass facilities and battery storage systems — in Italy, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands and France. With more than 14 GW of capacity installed or under construction and annual generation close to 30 TWh, TTEP positions itself as the second-largest European operator in gas-to-power. As part of this integration, the Italian business now operates under the TTEP Italia identity, with EP Produzione S.p.A. as its historical corporate name. The Italian operations comprise five gas-fired thermoelectric plants with an installed capacity of about 4.6 GW and annual production of roughly 12 TWh (2025), making the company one of Italy's leading electricity producers. The company also manages the dispatch of three biomass plants belonging to the TTEP group, contributing to decarbonisation. All production sites have obtained EMAS environmental registration, ISO 14001 environmental certification and ISO 45001 occupational health and safety certification. Leadership of the Italian business includes Andrea Ghiselli as CEO and General Manager of TTEP Italia S.p.A., who also serves as Chairman and CEO of TTEP Livorno Ferraris S.p.A., CEO of TTEP Tavazzano Montanaso S.p.A. and TTEP Ostiglia S.p.A., Chairman of TTEP Bess Italia S.r.l., CEO of Biomasse Italia and Biomasse Servizi, and CEO of TTEP Energia Italia S.r.l. Peter Černák serves as Chairman of the Board of Directors of TTEP Italia S.p.A. and also chairs the boards of TTEP Tavazzano e Montanaso, TTEP Ostiglia and TTEP Energia Italia.
