The press conference to present the Centria promotion
Centriagas distribution company of Estra Grouplaunched a campaign to promote connection to the natural gas network in many municipalities served.
A “zero-cost” tariff is envisaged for the execution of a new connection, underground and/or overhead, including modifications and movements, up to and including a diameter of DN 90 millimetres, and for a maximum length of m. 20 from the main pipeline.
However, the cost of installing a possible gas pressure reduction unit will be borne by the applicant, only if with a flow rate greater than 50 Smc/h.
Participation in the Centria promotional campaign will be possible until March 31, 2025 and affects 74 municipalities in the provinces of Arezzo, Florence, Grosseto, Pistoia, Perugia and Prato.
Other ongoing promotions
Further concessions are also provided for all requests for estimates for the extension of the natural gas network, functional to the connection. The discount on the extension will be equal to the cost of ml. 30 of network creation for each potential customer to be connected.
«Investing in infrastructure has always been at the center of the Estra Group’s strategies as well as one of the sectors considered fundamental for the country’s energy transition – declares Francesco Macrì, president of Estra.
Among fossil fuels, natural gas is the one with the lowest carbon footprint and it is important to note that the gas system is increasingly affected by the diffusion of renewable energy through the use of gases such as biomethane, synthetic methane and, in the near future , hydrogen. 100 million euros will be invested in the two-year period 2024-2025.”
«Centria is a company that manages an essential public service – he claims Roberto Rappuoli, president of Centria – which has contributed to the economic development and well-being of territories and communities. With this campaign it further affirms its role and is among the few distribution companies that have decided to make connections free. A concrete way of demonstrating one’s corporate social responsibility.”
