The energy transition is unstoppable: in addition to being an epoch-defining challenge, it’s also an opportunity for progress towards wellbeing, both for the planet and for people, the real protagonists of this change.
It’s a journey that runs on several tracks at once. On one hand, there is decarbonization – the replacement of fossil fuels with renewables – in which we continue to invest, increasing the power of our existing plants and creating new ones, together with the development of indispensable technologies such as storage systems. On the other hand, the electrification of consumption and industrial processes, the digitalization of grids to make them increasingly resilient and efficient, and also the transformation of power plants into modern sustainable spaces.
#EnelperlItalia’s commitment to a fair and inclusive energy transition to a zero-emissions future by 2040 translates into tangible social, environmental and economic benefits for local areas and communities.
Renewable sources are the present and the future of energy: the sun, wind, water and the earth’s heat, all widely present and abundant in nature, are the sustainable engine of the current transition.
With more than 600 plants in Italy, including wind, solar, hydroelectric and geothermal power, with Enel Green Power we’ve been working for years to boost the development of these sources through innovative technologies that are more efficient and competitive, contributing to the growth of the production chain with new employment opportunities and an ever greater energy freedom for Italy.
In 2024, thanks to the collaboration between Aeroporti di Roma, Enel X and Circet, the new photovoltaic system will be inaugurated.
Thanks to Enel Green Power's "Renewable Choice" crowdfunding initiative, citizens can participate in the energy transition process.
Our Group is forming partnerships to innovate, share renewable energy, and work to create new hubs for the self-production of energy.
The combination of renewable sources and storage systems is essential to the transition process that’s underway. At times when nature doesn’t offer immediately available energy, stored energy can be made available to businesses and private customers. Storage systems, which can store electricity and feed it back into the energy system as needed, are important allies of renewables, especially wind and solar power, which are inevitably subject to variations in their availability, and can help balance out supply and demand of energy and contribute to grid stability.
Storage systems are currently undergoing a fully-fledged technological revolution, ensuring greater efficiency, lower costs and a more circular approach.
Carried out for the first time on an industrial scale at the Santa Barbara site in Tuscany, the project was the result of a synergy between Enel and Brenmiller.
Renewed cooperation for the development of renewable sources, reduction of polluting emissions, and protection of the environment resources.
The project will drastically reduce emissions at Italy's largest airport hub, improving the sustainability of the battery supply chain.
The grid is the access point to the energy transition: to support decarbonization and electrification processes we need, first and foremost, a smart, flexible and digital infrastructure capable of taking full advantage of technological innovation and big data. All of this becomes even more important when we consider the progressive evolution of the market and the changes in the way energy is being produced: what’s needed is a multidirectional and integrated grid, capable of receiving the energy self-produced by consumer-producers – so-called ‘prosumers’ – and of better managing peaks in demand.
The "New Energies" project offers a multifunctional and versatile system that will transform the distribution network’s primary substations.
Beginning in 2024, all the new secondary substations of Enel Grids will be made with this innovative design.
We’re looking for young people to be trained and employed as specialized electricians within our partner companies.
The energy transition also means value for local areas and communities with new growth opportunities for the Italian system as a whole. An important role in this is played by plants that go on to have a second life: sites with substantial development potential in the energy sector and other sectors are integrated or repurposed with new business projects in areas other than energy production.
A new life based on the criteria of innovation, circularity and sustainability, with the direct involvement of local stakeholders and the creation of new partnerships.
In the former thermoelectric power plant in Augusta, a new research center equipped with cutting-edge technology and powered by renewable sources.
Enel has received final authorization to permanently shut down the coal-fired plant at the "Eugenio Montale" thermoelectric power plant.
Energy storage systems are fundamental for stockpiling the electricity produced by plants, creating a balance between supply and demand.
Learn about Energy Communities: what they are, benefits, how they work, and become a key player in the change towards a sustainable future.
Kickoff of the 7th edition of the ASviS Sustainable Development Festival, aimed at bringing a new culture into major Italian cities.
