CESI RICERCA SpA has been established at the end of 2005 as a separate company of CESI “Centro Elettrotecnico Sperimentale Italiano Giacinto Motta” SpA, to take over funded research activities of national and international interest and it started operating on January 1st 2006. Four hundred technicians and researchers – and their main laboratories – were moved from CESI to CESI RICERCA. The new company carry out research in the electricity and energy sector, with strong emphasis on experimental applications, thus ensuring the consistent continuation of all current research activities and the development of new strategic projects in the future. Focus of the mission is to ensure the technology transfer in order to address the national energy, environmental and economic goals.

CESI RICERCA is currently owned by ENEA “Ente per le nuove tecnologie, l’energia e l’ambiente” (51%) and CESI (49%) and represents a new public research centre in the sector.
