Higeco Energy

What Higeco Energy does

Higeco Energy S.r.l. is an Italian private company headquartered in Belluno with a Milan meeting point, operating as the innovative startup of the HIGECO Group alongside sister companies Higeco Srl and Higeco More Srl. Founded around 2009 and reorganized into its current energy-monitoring focus in 2019, the company provides industrial energy monitoring solutions combining proprietary Italian-manufactured IoT hardware (GWC dataloggers, HSC secure RTU, HSI+ gateway, LoRa terminals, MID-certified analyzers, and the new CCI Plant Central Controller compliant with ARERA 385/2025) with cloud software platforms X-SPECTOR and HIGECO ENERGY CLOUD for real-time visualization of electricity, gas, water, and compressed-air consumption.

The company runs a second business line around MyCER, a SaaS platform for managing Italian Renewable Energy Communities (CER) under the CACER decree, supporting multi-CER White Label deployments, incentive distribution and automatic payments, EMS-mode load and storage management, and API integration with third-party systems. Its go-to-market is sales-led and consultative, targeting industrial companies, energy-intensive enterprises, public entities and third-sector organizations, and SMEs, with revenue generated across three streams: IoT hardware sales, recurring software subscriptions, and professional services including energy diagnoses under D.Lgs. 102/2014, ISO 50001 auditing, Transition 5.0 ex-ante/ex-post certifications, PNRR compliance, TEE support, and ESG reporting.

Higeco Energy monetizes its deep Italian regulatory expertise through certified personnel (EGE UNI CEI 11339, CMVA/CMVP, ISO 50001 auditors) and cybersecurity-certified products (FIPS 140-2 Level 3 on the HSC RTU; ISAsecure SDLA and CSA on CCI), and supports customers with standards including ISO 14001:2015 and MID meters. The company is privately held with no disclosed external institutional investors and operates entirely within Italy.
