We are delighted to announce that Tratos hosted the first OPG showroom in Tratos Cavi in Pieve Santo Stefano, introducing sustainability solutions on cables and overhead lines. The event took place in the Faraday Cage, which is the largest in Europe. Inaugurated in 2013, the Faraday Cage enables Tratos to certify the quality of HV cables and to effectively administer AC resonant tests on-site, allowing testing of up to 220 kV of nominal voltage cables, of up to 20 km in length.
We thank the Enel Group and Tratos Cavi people – President Albano Bragagni, Elisabetta Bragagni Capaccini, Ennio Bragagni Capaccini, Massimo Seri Rachele Bigiarini Marco Camaiti Dario Gabelli Posati Alfonso Paola Gravina Mirko Gori, who gave their contribution and guaranteed the successful outcome of this event.
Tratos’ new Overhead Conductor has wide-ranging cost benefits as not only does it come at a lower price point, but in line with operational and end-of-life dismantling costs are reduced. Even with this cost-benefit, the new Overhead Conductor retains high-performance levels, with the ability to meet increased power demands, seasonal power peaks and backup of faulty feeders, thus improving network flexibility.
OPG showroom highlights the importance that Tratos Group is giving to the issues of sustainable development and protecting the environment. It remains dedicated to delivering on its people-focused mission and has invested in economically deprived regions of Italy and the UK to create jobs and support local communities. Tratos’ commitment to corporate social responsibility, including paying salaries and local taxes, has proven to be a sustainable source of income and a catalyst for regional economic and social development.
In 2019, Tratos launched its first integrated sustainability strategy. In implementing this strategy, Tratos has committed itself to adopting high standards, often going beyond legal requirements, on the sustainability issues that matter to our business, employees, the communities that host us and the customers that buy and use our products.
Throughout the years, Tratos has been consistent in achieving its goals, by excelling in showing high-quality social and environmental performance across all of its operations and in increasing its stakeholders’ knowledge of its working practices.
Tratos UK became a part of the Green Growth Programme, a group of businesses that are committed to becoming more sustainable, resilient, and competitive. Through this program, Tratos aims to advocate for increased corporate responsibility and explore opportunities to measure, reduce, and offset CO2 emissions, as well as increase recycling and material reusability. Most recently, in November 2022, Tratos formed a partnership with Borealis to successfully introduce Bornewables™ in the energy industry. This new technology offers innovative solutions for businesses to reduce their carbon footprint.
