# Summer Blackouts Put Italian Manufacturing at Risk: White Energy Group Responds with On-Site Generation and Monitoring

> The press release describes worsening electricity-service continuity during summer heat events and presents micro-interruptions as a risk to manufacturing operations. White Energy Group proposes a business-continuity model based on continuous energy monitoring, on-site generation, and Energy Performance Contracts.

## Page details

- **Source language:** Italian
- **Content type:** Press release
- **Original title:** Blackout estivi, la manifattura italiana a rischio: White Energy Group risponde con autoproduzione e monitoraggio
- **English title:** Summer Blackouts Put Italian Manufacturing at Risk: White Energy Group Responds with On-Site Generation and Monitoring
- **Source URL:** https://weeg.it/comunicati-stampa/blackout-estivi-la-manifattura-italiana/
- **Publication date stated on the page:** July 24, 2026
- **Summary:** The page links worsening grid continuity and micro-interruptions to production risks for energy-intensive manufacturing and describes White Energy Group's integrated approach based on monitoring, decentralized energy production, and financed efficiency projects.

## Grid continuity and manufacturing risk

The press release states that increasingly frequent heat waves and the resulting overload of electricity networks are turning summer blackouts from occasional emergencies into a structural issue for Italian production.

Citing an investigation by Il Sole 24 Ore that reports ARERA data and Confcommercio observations, the page states that the average frequency of interruptions reaches:

- **7.5 events per user in Southern Italy**;
- **3.5 events per user in Northern Italy**.

The page identifies chemical, plastics, ceramics, food, and paper manufacturing among the energy-intensive sectors exposed to the problem.

## Micro-interruptions and power quality

The article states that the economic risk for manufacturers is not limited to complete power outages. Short micro-interruptions can disrupt IT systems, damage machinery, and stop production lines for hours.

White Energy Group presents energy efficiency and the ecological transition not only as cost-saving or sustainability measures, but also as tools for protecting operational stability and business continuity.

Domenico Burrai, Head of Engineering Projects at White Energy Group, is cited as emphasizing the sensitivity of modern industrial equipment to very short interruptions and the importance of maintaining power quality during heat peaks and extreme weather events.

## White Energy Group 2025 figures

The page reports the following figures for White Energy Group's 2025 activity:

- more than **30%** of its industrial client portfolio consisted of energy-intensive companies;
- its clients generated **230,125 MWh** of energy from renewable sources;
- the stated environmental saving was approximately **58,000 tonnes of CO2 avoided** during the year.

## Integrated business-continuity model

White Energy Group presents three strategic components for improving industrial energy resilience.

### 1. Energy management and continuous monitoring

The company states that digital platforms and dedicated meters are used to continuously analyze grid electrical parameters, identify voltage anomalies, and detect energy waste before these conditions turn into machinery failures.

### 2. On-site energy generation

The page describes tailored industrial photovoltaic systems, cogeneration systems, and biomass systems as ways for companies to generate thermal and electrical energy on site. According to the article, this reduces dependence on the national grid during summer peak periods and helps stabilize supply to the plant.

### 3. Energy Performance Contracts

White Energy Group states that it can finance and directly implement technological interventions through Energy Performance Contracts. Under the model described on the page, the customer does not make an upfront capital investment and the economic benefits generated by efficiency are shared.

## Decentralization and predictive monitoring

The engineering approach described in the press release combines on-site energy production with predictive monitoring. White Energy Group presents this decentralization model as a way to reduce exposure to fluctuations in the public grid and protect production continuity.
