Abstract

The global scenario seen in the previous chapter is a combination of technological developments in the energy field and plans Enel is working on in this vital growth area. As mentioned, Enel is the number two group in Europe for installed capacity1 and at international level it has a balanced production and technological mix that includes all the main solutions for generating electricity.2 On the contrary, in Italy there is a impelling need to rebalance the fuel mix and sources utilized by investing in new infrastructures for generation and by promoting energy efficiency in both generation and end uses. Enel’s strategy on this front includes various moves, with the aim being in 15–20 years to achieve a balanced mix by using the most advanced technologies existing for each type of primary source.
