ERG

ERG, also known by its alias ERG, is an Italian company headquartered in Italy. The organisation's core activity is the generation of electricity from renewable energy sources. Its primary focus is on wind power, which constitutes the majority of its generation portfolio. ERG develops, constructs, and operates wind farms both within Italy and in other European countries. In addition to wind, the company is involved in other renewable technologies as part of its broader energy transition strategy.

ERG is described as a leading European wind power operator, indicating a significant position within the continent's renewable energy sector. The company's international assets include wind farms located in several European nations beyond Italy. This cross‑border presence allows ERG to diversify its geographical exposure and leverage varying wind regimes. As a leading operator, ERG contributes to the European Union's targets for increasing renewable electricity share. Its operational scale is reflected in the number and geographic spread of its wind power installations.

In August 2021, ERG experienced a ransomware attack attributed to the LockBit 2.0 group that caused minor disruptions to its information and communications technology infrastructure. Despite the ICT incident, the company confirmed that all of its operational plants continued to function normally without any downtime. Business continuity was maintained through prompt cybersecurity response measures, preventing any impact on physical energy production. The attack highlighted the resilience of ERG's operational technology systems against cyber threats targeting corporate networks. Consequently, the incident did not affect the company's ability to deliver electricity to its customers or disrupt its renewable generation activities.
