Acea

The graveyard was named after one of the sons of this important family from Cienfuegos, who died when he was a teenager. No member of the Acea family was buried here.

Despite being built for poor people, the cemetery has monumental sculptures made of high-quality Carrara marble, brought from Italy.

Engineers Pablo Donato Carbonell and Luis Felipe Ros designed and conducted the works.

The cemetery, also called garden-cemetery, was inspired graveyards from the United States and Europe, and its vaults, mausoleums, and tombs harmonize with the landscape.

Its vegetation has been planned in sectors that delimit the areas, taking advantage of the undulations of the terrain. We can see that the avenues filled with fruit and ornamental trees bear the names of their plants: Pines, Cedars, Palms, Oaks, Poplars avenues, among others.

The Tomás Acea Cemetery is the burial place of prominent historic, cultural, and scientific figures from Cienfuegos.

It stands out by the impressive façade of the central building, which is an eloquent expression of the architecture of the Republican period in Cuba.

The EIB-financed investments will help improve integrated water service coverage and quality, cutting water losses and increasing energy efficiency.

The EIB support will also enable Acea to make the water supply more resilient to future extreme weather events such as drought.

Italy was the biggest beneficiary of EIB resources for the water sector from 2016 to 2022, receiving €2.9 billion.

The European Investment Bank (EIB) has provided a €435 million loan to Acea with the primary goal of strengthening and improving infrastructure for more efficient and resilient water services. The transaction signed by EIB Director General of Operations Jean-Christophe Laloux and Sabrina Di Bartolomeo, Chief Financial Officer today in Rome is the first, €235 million tranche of a loan totalling €435 million approved by the EIB Board of Directors.

The EIB is co-financing the 2023-2026 investment plan of Acea Ato 2, the Acea Group company responsible for managing water services in Rome and the surrounding area. The aim is to help modernise water and wastewater infrastructure, improving integrated water service coverage and quality and making operational efficiency gains such as cutting water losses and increasing energy efficiency. The EIB funds will also contribute to making water services more resilient to future extreme weather events such as drought via investments in network efficiency, the interconnection of water systems and water resource management.

This operation confirms the EIB's position as Acea's biggest key lender with around €1 billion in total allocations, further consolidating the already excellent relationship between the two organisations.

"As the EU climate bank, we are delighted to support Acea Ato 2's investment plan for integrated water services, providing quality of life improvements for users and ensuring a more reliable, sustainable and resilient water supply," said EIB Director General of Operations Jean-Christophe Laloux. "

Strong EIB support for Italy's water sector

The EIB is the EU climate bank and one of the world's largest lenders to the water sector, with over 1 600 projects and around €80 billion in funding granted since 1958. Italy was the biggest beneficiary of EIB resources for the water sector from 2016 to 2022. The EIB financed 40 operations in the country during this period, providing a total of €2.9 billion and helping to unlock about €8.9 billion in investment. The loan to Acea announced today comes in addition to those recently signed with CAP Group, Tea Spa, Alfa S.r.l, Veritas, SMAT, Iren Group, CIIPand Acque.

The European Investment Bank (EIB) is the long-term lending institution of the European Union owned by its Member States. It provides long-term financing for sound investments that contribute to EU policy. The Bank finances projects in four priority areas: infrastructure, innovation, climate and environment, and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

The operation will finance the promoter's investments in integrated water services in the territory of ATO 2, centre of Lazio region, in the period 2023-2026. In detail, investments concern the upgrade of water and wastewater infrastructure (water and wastewater treatment plants, networks, pumping stations).

The Project will support investments in water and wastewater infrastructure in Lazio Region, Italy. In doing so, it will ensure compliance with key European regulations in the water sector, and improve the quality and resilience of water and wastewater services. The Project will contribute to the Bank's policy objectives of Sustainable Energy and Natural Resources as well as Climate Action and Environmental Sustainability. The Project will address a number of market failures, including those associated with public goods, unaccounted for externalities and information failures, generating positive health and environmental benefits. The Project will also contribute to improving the efficiency of the potable water supply system while increasing its resilience against climate related risks. These benefits are not reflected in market prices and would not be realised to the same extent without public intervention.

The EIB support will bring a tangible financial value added by lowering the Project's cost of funding and offering a tenor longer than the one normally proposed by other financers. Considering the magnitude of the Project, the EIB support will also contribute to accelerate its implementation.

The value added provided by the EIB is even more tangible under the current market conditions, perturbed by the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

The purpose is to contribute to meet the customer service standards set in the operating service agreement and the Key Performance Indicators set by the regulator ARERA. The related investments also aim at complying with all environmental requirements set by the national and EU legislation, notably the Drinking Water Directive 98/83/EC, the EU Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive 91/271/EC (UWWTD), as amended by 98/15/EC, as well as the Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC).

Investments will bring positive environmental impacts. Compliance with the EU Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC), Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) and EU and national environmental legislation, notably under Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Directive 2011/92/EU (as amended by the Directive 2014/52/EU). Compliance with the Birds Directive 2009/147/EC and Habitats Directive 92/43/EEC) will be further verified during appraisal. The project is expected to contribute to climate action and environmental sustainability objectives, in particular to climate adaptation and sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources.

The EIB will require the promoter to ensure that contracts for the implementation of the project have been or will be tendered in accordance with the relevant applicable EU procurement legislation, in particular: Directive 2014/23/EU, and/or 2014/24/EU, and/or 2014/25/EU, as well as Directive 92/13/EEC and Directive 89/665/EEC, as interpreted by the EU Court of Justice, with publication of tender notices in the EU Official Journal, as and where required.
