SGR Efficienza Energetica

What SGR Efficienza Energetica does

SGR Efficienza Energetica Srl is an Italian energy efficiency solutions provider headquartered in Rimini and operating under the direction and coordination of Gasrimini Holding S.p.A., within Gruppo SGR (parent Società Gas Rimini S.p.A., €55 million share capital). The company delivers an integrated portfolio spanning photovoltaic systems, heat pumps, condensing boilers, electric vehicle charging stations, LED relamping, thermal insulation, cogeneration, and intelligent building management systems, complemented by Energy Performance Contract (EPC) guarantees, project financing, and management of Renewable Energy Communities (CER). Its proprietary Level4 platform applies AI-driven, self-learning optimization to territory and building energy management, with documented deployments such as the 'Genesis' solution achieving over 50% energy savings at Unieuro retail stores.

The business model combines project-based revenue from installation and EPC engagements with managed-service revenue from long-term performance contracts — exemplified by a 15-year public-private partnership valued at approximately €500,000 for the municipal swimming pool in Cattolica — and recurring fees from incentive administration (Conto Termico 3.0) and CER operations. Distribution is direct and consultation-led, segmented into B2B (manufacturing, hospitality, retail, commercial), B2C (households), and B2G (municipalities and public administration) flows, supported by an inbound Energy Check-up booking funnel, an active thought-leadership stack (L'Eco dell'Energia podcast, YouTube, LinkedIn), and participation in flagship industry events such as Ecomondo and Key Energy.

The company holds the UNI CEI 11352 ESCO certification (via SGR Servizi S.p.A.) required for guaranteed-savings energy contracts, alongside the UNI PdR 125:2022 gender equality certification, and operates exclusively within the Italian domestic market with a current footprint concentrated in Emilia-Romagna.
