What Edison Next does

Edison Next S.p.A. is an Italy-based energy transition and decarbonization services company, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Edison S.p.A. with corporate capital of €330.5 million and a workforce of more than 3,200 employees, of whom over 2,500 work in the field. The company delivers end-to-end solutions that span the entire decarbonization value chain, from energy production and efficiency to mobility, smart city infrastructure, and circular economy services. Its offering is organized across seven service verticals: sustainable self-production (cogeneration, trigeneration, photovoltaic, and Renewable Energy Communities), green gas (biomethane and hydrogen), energy efficiency (utility management and digital services), smart city and urban regeneration (building renovation, district heating, intelligent public lighting, and digital city services), sustainable mobility (electric and hydrogen), circular economy (waste-to-energy, environmental remediation, monitoring, and water treatment), and consulting (Road To Zero methodology, energy diagnostics, and environmental advisory).

The company serves two primary customer segments, private enterprises (Aziende) and public administrations (Pubbliche Amministrazioni), in Italy and Spain. Its go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales, with solutions customized and quote-based rather than standardized. Marketing is anchored on a content-driven approach via the NEXT Journal blog, sector-specific white papers, bimonthly newsletters, webinars, and case studies. Named reference customers include Michelin Italia (manufacturing/automotive decarbonization) and Ospedale di Cremona (public healthcare energy optimization). Edison Next has committed €2.5 billion in planned investments through 2030 to support decarbonization of companies and territories, positioning itself as a scaled, vertically integrated decarbonization platform in the Italian and Iberian markets.
