Hera (Holding Energia Risorse Ambiente, ''Energy Resource Environment Holdings'') is a multiutility company based in Bologna, Italy. Hera operates in the distribution of gas, water, energy, and waste disposal in the provinces of Bologna, Ferrara, Forlì-Cesena, Modena, Ravenna, Rimini, Pesaro and Urbino, and in some municipalities of Florence and Ancona. In October 2012, Hera approved the merger with AcegasAps Group, which operates in the cities of Padua and Trieste. On the 1st of July 2014 AMGA, which operates in Udine merged with Hera Group. In 2014, Hera was the number one Italian domestic operator in terms of the amount of waste treated (over 6.4 million tons), in second place for the integrated water cycle (294 million m³), the third larger player in gas distribution (2.6 billion cm) and fourth in the Italian Electricity business in terms of electricity sold (9.1 TWh). ==Corporate history== Hera was established in 2002 through the first merger of public utilities in the Emilia-Romagna region, which involved 11 companies. In 2003, Hera started the process of listing on the Milan Stock Exchange,〔http://uk.finance.yahoo.com/q;_ylt=AsowMJhg52s776Kdl9y3GuJdsLFG;_ylu=X3oDMTFiamlsaWdyBHBvcwMxMQRzZWMDeWZpU3ltYm9sTG9va3VwUmVzdWx0cwRzbGsDaGVybWk-?s=HER.MI〕 which led the company to be partly privatized with 38.8% of its present share capital in private sectors. After 2003, Hera started to grow. In over five years, the Group merged with other Italian companies operating in distribution of energy, water and gas, such as Agea, Ecosea, Meta, Geat Distribution Gas, and Sat Inc. Hera also had many long-term contracts with foreign suppliers over the years that followed. In 2006, Hera signed a memorandum of understanding with Enel, Edison and Sonatrach. The memorandum provided for the purchase of one billion cubic meters a year of natural gas transported through the methane pipeline belonging to Galsi, a partner company of Hera. In July 2008, Hera acquired ''Megas Trade'', selling gas and electricity in the Urbino area, owned by ''Marche Multiservices''. The transaction formalized the birth of Hera Comm Marche, the commercial branch of the Hera Group for the Marche region, managed by Hera Comm. On 25 July 2012, approval was given for the merger with Acegas-Aps S.p.A.〔()〕 (Trieste-Padua), which became part of the Hera Group as of 1 January 2013. On the 1st of July 2014 AMGA – Azienda Multiservizi S.p.A. merged with Hera Group. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hera Group」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
