Adnkronos Milan, June 13 (Adnkronos) – After closing 2024 with investments of 137,87 million euros, Gruppo Cap, the public green utility that manages the integrated water service of the metropolitan city of Milan, is preparing to reach the historic peak of investments in the two-year period 2025-2026, with a total of 291 million euros earmarked for strategic infrastructure works.
In 2025 alone, the expected value is 167,6 million euros, the highest figure ever recorded in the company's history.
The 12 update of the industrial plan was presented to the shareholders' meeting held on June 2025, which reaffirms the centrality of the investment policy within the Gruppo Cap strategy, with an Intervention Program that provides for investments of approximately 1.001 million euros in the 2024-2033 time frame.
Among the main projects planned for the next two years, there is the completion of the works planned for the sludge line of the BioPiattaforma of Sesto San Giovanni, expected by 2026 and with an economic value of 60 million euros. This is an innovative plant for the treatment of sewage sludge and OFMSW, which will produce energy and reduce waste.
Equally important is the new Cornaredo well field, which with an investment of 36 million euros will guarantee the water supply to the municipalities north of Milan, thanks to a 15-kilometer long aqueduct network.
As for water losses, the goal is to go from the current 19% to 15% by 2033, continuing the investments already undertaken and in progress that will guarantee interventions to adapt and replace the networks for an even more efficient service.
On the wastewater front, the revamping of the purification plants – managed by Cap Evolution, the Group's entity that operates in the Waste, Wastewater and Energy sectors – in Truccazzano, Parabiago, Pero and Peschiera will continue, with targeted investments for a total of 24 million euros.
These are accompanied by the Sewerage Reorganization Plan for a total value of 197 million euros, which includes interventions for the lamination of water, the construction of first rain tanks and flywheel tanks, fundamental infrastructures for preventing flooding and adapting the sewerage system to increasingly extreme weather events.
