CEBAT's History
1961
Cebat is founded in Rome as a company specialising in underground works and public lighting.
Early 2000s
The company develops increasingly solid expertise in high and medium voltage connections, becoming one of the main operators in the sector in the Rome area while progressively expanding its equipment, expertise and fields of operation.
2012
CEBAT enters the water sector with its first major water distribution contract, strengthening its role in the construction and management of essential infrastructure for local communities.
2014-2020
During these years CEBAT builds the Italian section of the Piedmont–Savoy HVDC link, consolidating its expertise in large, highly complex electrical infrastructure.
2020
With the acquisition of Quadrifoglio Drilling, CEBAT expands its scope to trenchless technologies and strengthens its expertise in horizontal directional drilling. During the same period it participates in the SuedLink project in Germany.
2021
CEBAT completes the first renewable HV connection for an EDP wind farm and signs a major contract for the connection of a 150 kV data centre. In the same year it strengthens its position in the construction of HV overhead lines, obtaining Terna qualification in this strategic sector.
2022
CEBAT grows in the water and renewables sectors with projects for Gruppo CAP, HERA and Siciliacque, and carries out HV and MV connections for large photovoltaic installations for clients such as Iberdrola, Enfinity Global, Mytilineos and Solarig.
During the same period it secures new strategic contracts for networks and public utility works, exceeds 5 GW of design for HV cable ducts dedicated to offshore wind farms and enters the gas distribution sector.
2023
CEBAT acquires 100% of the share capital of Giubergia & Armando S.r.l., a major player in the maintenance and construction of MV/LV electricity distribution systems in northern Italy.
2024
CEBAT signs its sixth contract for the HV connection of a hyperscale data centre, establishing itself as the reference player in this sector.
After completing the Zuel Somprade cable duct for the 2021 FIS Alpine Ski World Championships in Cortina d’Ampezzo, CEBAT also completes the Laion-Corvara cable duct in South Tyrol, in support of the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics.
2025
CEBAT, in a joint venture with Prysmian and Roda S.p.A., wins the contract for the construction of the ELMED project, the HVDC link between Italy and Tunisia.
In the same year, the island of Mozia, in the province of Trapani, is connected to the national grid for the first time through a drilling of over 1,300 metres. Contracts for private connections dedicated to data centres and renewables exceed 20.
Quadrifoglio Drilling also completes the drilling for the Tyrrhenian Link landfalls in Sicily and begins drilling for the SA.CO.I. 3 landfalls, the link between Tuscany, Corsica and Sardinia.
Our Ambition
In supporting the country’s energy and digital transition, and contributing to the quality of life of communities, we aim to become a leading partner for the construction, management and development of strategic infrastructure.
We do this by combining technical expertise, executive capacity, innovation and responsibility towards the environment, people and local communities.
Our Values
These are the foundation on which we build solid relationships, reliable projects and infrastructure that stands the test of time.
We respect timelines, commitments and standards, ensuring operational continuity in every project.
We place people, worksites and communities at the centre, through rigorous procedures, continuous training and a widespread culture of prevention.
We adopt advanced technologies and methods, from trenchless solutions to network digitalisation, to tackle increasingly complex projects.
We reduce the impact of our operations and promote responsible use of resources, contributing to the creation of more efficient and durable infrastructure.
We operate with transparency and awareness of the social role of infrastructure, generating concrete value for territories, communities and stakeholders.

Our Strengths
We adapt methods, contracts and operational management to the needs of each client, ensuring full compliance with technical standards, safety requirements and project objectives.
Through Quadrifoglio Drilling we use trenchless solutions that reduce environmental impact, speed up approval processes and minimise disruption to local communities.
We support clients from the earliest stages, managing analysis, design and pre-construction activities with internal and specialist expertise.
We have more than 30 specialised teams in underground cable ducts and substation works, trained to operate in compliance with national and international standards.
We have over 40 years' experience in underground HV connections, working with Terna and leading cable manufacturers. Expertise that allows us to reduce risks, complexity and execution times.
We manage the entire process: design, civil works, cable laying, testing and commissioning. An integrated, fast and efficient operational workflow.
