Acea SpA
Acea is an Italian utility company that runs essential local infrastructure. It manages water services, electricity distribution, public lighting, and waste treatment in several areas of Italy, with a strong base in Rome and central Italy. In simple terms, it keeps water flowing, power moving, and parts of the city infrastructure working day to day. The company sells regulated utility services to households, businesses, and public institutions, and it also serves municipalities and industrial customers through environmental and energy-related services. Most of its money comes from user bills and regulated fees for delivering water, distributing electricity, and managing networks and treatment plants. That makes its business model tied more to infrastructure ownership and long-term service contracts than to consumer branding. What makes Acea different is that it sits in the middle of the public utility value chain rather than selling discretionary products. Its work is capital-intensive, local, and closely linked to essential services that people need every day. That usually gives the company steady demand and a strong role in managing critical urban infrastructure.

Growth: ACEA said Q1 2026 was in line with its plan, with organic pro-forma EBITDA up 4% to EUR 344 million and organic net income up 14%.
Regulated mix: Management said the growth was almost entirely driven by regulated businesses, which now represent about 95% of group EBITDA.
Capex: CapEx net of grants rose 18% to EUR 286 million as ACEA kept investing in regulated infrastructure, while operating free cash flow was negative at EUR 91 million because of seasonal working capital and heavier investment.
Guidance: The company confirmed its 2026 guidance and said full-year working capital should be broadly neutral.
Portfolio moves: ACEA said Aquanexa is now consolidated from April, while the ACEA Energia sale will generate a capital gain of about EUR 200 million on separate accounts.
Pipeline: Management pointed to several ongoing tender opportunities in water and said the Peschiera project should move into construction in the second half of 2027.
