More than half of the company’s project growth-related investment for 2016-19, a total of €17 billion, has been earmarked for renewables. The company has also announced plans to close 23 fossil fuel plants in Italy by 2019, scrapped plans for new facilities in Italy and Chile, and is seeking to offload assets worth €6 billion, mostly in eastern Europe.
