00:00 A new solution to support the electricity consumption and face the impacts of climate change.
00:10 The underground compact substation, the compact electric cabin completely buried and waterproof,
00:16 designed by A2A with the collaboration of Schneider Electric, is born precisely with this goal.
00:21 The prototype, a Unicum in Italy, has been presented today at the Smart Lab of a network in Milan.
00:27 It is an important part of the work of strengthening the electric networks of the Lombard capital,
00:33 which from here to 2030, as provided by the industrial plan of a network, will see investments for a billion euros.
00:40 This ghost we inaugurated today is a compact secondary cabin,
00:45 which is underground to be able to give energy to our fellow citizens,
00:51 without taking precious space from the public land of Milan.
00:56 It is fundamental to be able to grow in terms of electricity power.
01:00 Milan is a very particular city, it has an electricity power with a density five times higher than that of Rome,
01:07 to understand the problem that a network faces every day,
01:10 and with an energy transition towards electrification,
01:14 then mobility electrification, heating electrification, heat pumps, induction plan,
01:19 which is continuing at a very important pace.
01:22 We must therefore strengthen the electric networks of Milan.
01:26 From here to 2030 we have planned a billion euros of investments.
01:29 This year we have invested 135 million euros in electric networks only in Milan,
01:33 and this gives the idea of the effort.
01:36 It is an innovation born within 2A with the collaboration of Schneider Electric,
01:42 of which we are very proud.
01:44 The need to reduce the consumption of soil and respond effectively to the consequences of the climate crisis
01:50 makes this technological innovation a real resource for Milan.
01:54 We must thank Schneider Electric, 2A is a network for this project,
01:58 which will be an example of how the city and the electricity supply service,
02:04 of which there will be more and more need, adapts and mitigates the effects of climate change.
02:09 This tells us how we are going in the right direction,
02:13 which is to adapt in the years when we prepare to reach carbon neutrality,
02:19 CO2 emissions. In the meantime, we must adapt to what is happening.
