Bruno Brunetti (Director, European Electricity) joined PIRA Energy in 2001 to manage PIRA’s European electricity service. Bruno’s deep understanding of the European energy economics, and the regulatory framework of the liberalized electricity and gas markets, comes from having worked with the strategic consulting division of Caminus Corp. There, he carried out a wide range of market studies, including a recent electricity market report in conjunction with Enel’s divestment of Elettrogen. Bruno began his career in the strategic planning department of Enel in Rome, followed by an internship with Cedigaz in Paris, where he drafted the study, “Natural Gas in Power Generation.” Bruno has authored a wide variety of articles in Italian, French and English, including a significant contribution on the restructuring of the Italian electricity market. Bruno graduated magna cum laude in economics and management from Bari University (Italy) and in energy economics from the ENSPM, the School of the French Institute of Petroleum (Paris).
