Rimini, 24th October 2014 - Energy efficiency is a great opportunity for Italian enterprises’ competitiveness and offers the chance of constructing an Italian and European technological cycle able to make a valid contribution to the economy’s revival. The sector is very promising: in fact, to achieve the energy saving targets set by the EU, aturnover ofover 43 billion euroscould be created by 2020. These are some of the conclusions contained in a study recently presented by the Study Centre on Energy Efficiency Economy and Management, which Rimini Fiera adopted some time ago with KEY ENERGY WHITE EVOLUTION, the new exhibition dedicated to Energy Efficiency for Industries and the Service Sector.

The event will be held in the context of KEY ENERGY, the international expo for sustainable energy and mobility, at Rimini Fiera from November 5th to 8th 2014, an integral part of the huge international event on the green economy which also includes Key Wind, Ecomondo, Cooperambiente, H2R, Sustainable City and the reconfirmed States General of the Green Economy.

KEY ENERGY WHITE EVOLUTION aims at developing an innovative industrial project dedicated to technologies for energy efficiency, which involves all the sectors and brings industrial energy efficiency’s key players into contact: on one hand manufacturers and producers of technology and solutions for efficiency and ESCOs (Energy Saving Companies) and on the other large energy consumers, such as industries, large-scale distributors (super- and hypermarkets, public bodies. The event is being launched in collaboration withANIE ENERGIA, ASSOESCO, COGENA, FIRE and ITALCOGEN.

Exhibitors will include Bosch Energy & Building Solutions, Schneider Electric, Turboden, Exergy, Enerblu, Rama Motori, and ESCOs such as Solgen srl, Power Ventures, Elettrogreen, Power srl, Heat & Power, SEA - Servizi Energia Ambiente and 2G. There will also be the GSE (Gestore dei servizi energetici) and POI Energia (Ministry of Economic Development).

Numerous meetings will be dedicated to the specific topic, thanks also to the “White Arena”, which will host a series of meetings on technical and financial information organized by the ANIE ENERGIA, ASSOESCO, COGENA, FIRE and ITALCOGEN associations. The last of these is proposing a focus on the enactment of Directive 2012/27/UE and on the PAEE - Energy Efficiency Action Plan, during which prospects and opportunities offered by the directive at European level will be compared with those of the new Italian regulation framework. ENEA in the other hand will organize a meeting dedicated to energy efficiency and renewable energy sources to improve the competitiveness of agri-food enterprises.

Also to be remembered, among the initiatives of Key Energy White Evolution, is the FIRE award ceremony. The award, realized in collaboration with Enel Distribuzione addresses accredited energy service companies and companies with energy managers or energy management systems, and was launched with the aim of highlighting particularly praiseworthy projects and, at the same time, spreading the word on an incentive scheme that can help enterprises improve their competitiveness.
