Leader della Crescita 2025

Il Sole 24 Ore & Statista: Southenergy awarded again among the fastest growing italian companies

1ST PLACE IN PUGLIA AMONG THE COMPANIES IN THE “ENERGY” SECTOR AND 9TH IN ITALY

After the 2024 nomination, Il Sole 24 Ore and Statista confirm the title of “Leader della crescita 2025” for Southenergy, once again rewarding the Apulian company, leader in the renewable energy sector for 16 years, in the famous ranking representing the 500 Italian companies capable of competing at a European level and with the highest increase in revenue in the last three years.

Growth leader 2025

The 2025 edition is the seventh edition of a national award conducted by Il Sole 24 Ore in collaboration with Statista, who declare “Making known which companies have the fastest growth in revenue means for us giving due recognition to all those companies that contribute to boosting the Italian economy and market: they create jobs, guarantee growth and support the competitiveness and quality of our economic fabric“.


“Leader della crescita” is the representation of the 500 Italian companies with the most significant growth in revenue in the three-year period 2020-2023. In addition to including the major players (both private and listed companies), the ranking highlights all the companies capable of competing at a European level. The data is certified by a member of the company’s executive committee and, given the importance of the ranking, carefully verified by Statista, the independent German research institute. 

Requirements to be included in the “Growth leader” ranking

The ranking, based on the average annual growth rate over the three-year period (CAGR), is annually discussed and evaluated by Statista and Il Sole 24 Ore. To be included in the prestigious “Growth Leader” 2025 ranking, a company must meet the following requirements:

  • Have a revenue of at least 100.000 euros in 2020
  • Have a revenue of at least 1,5 million euros in 2023
  • Be independent (the company must not be a branch or affiliate)
  • Have its registered office in Italy
  • Have had predominantly organic growth
  • Not be in any of the conditions referred to in art. 80 of Legislative Decree 50/2016

Quality evaluation and control

In a preliminary stage, Statista, drawing on databases, public lists and rankings with a focus on business growth, generates a rich list of potentially relevant companies on the national territory: approximately 9000 companies belonging to different business sectors, with a high rate of revenue growth in the last three years. This phase is followed by the invitation to take part in the awards. All data reported by the candidate companies are processed and carefully checked by Statista. Likewise, companies that do not meet the inclusion or quality criteria are omitted from the ranking. 

Southenergy, the power of nature!

In 2008, when the company was born, I really had nothing. But I had an opportunity given firstly by the territory and secondly by my professional background” Dr. Giovanni Melpignano, CEO Southenergy.

Being named “Growth Leader” again is a source of great pride for the entire company, the consolidation of 16 years of corporate history based on ethics and professionalism.

A dutiful thank you goes to all our customers and partners, who constantly renew their trust in our work, as well as to all Southenergy collaborators who, since 2008, have contributed to the enhancement of our corporate growth.
