Strategic Plan Update
12th November 2025
In the era of artificial intelligence, energy is the driving force of progress.
The future demands more: more power, more efficiency, more sustainability. At the heart of this transformation lies data.
Data centers stand on our territories, and their
presence is set to grow.
A challenge that calls for tangible results,
vision and responsibility.
At A2A, we are ready.
A2A MomentumWe have invested in infrastructure,
renewable energy and smart grids.
We have transformed vision into action,
innovation into reality.
Today, we are ready to seize our Momentum, to drive the digital and ecological transition with expertise and responsibility.

Electrification will drive efficiency in final energy consumption
Final energy
consumption is gradually decreasing, partly due to improved efficiency, and is evolving towards
decarbonisation
Electrification, driven
by the rapid growth of data centers, will boost electricity demand
