Overview

Enel is a multinational utility focused on electricity and energy services. Through an integrated value chain, the group develops and operates power generation assets with a strong renewables focus, manages electricity distribution grids, sells electricity and gas, and offers customer solutions tied to electrification, including e-mobility and related energy services.[1]+2

Its business is defined by large-scale operations in power generation, networks and retail energy, with a footprint spanning Europe, Latin America, North America and other regions; official company materials describe a presence in 28 countries across five continents.[4][5] Enel states its vision as "We drive electrification, fulfilling people’s needs and shaping a better world," reflecting a mission centered on sustainable power and the energy transition.[6][4]

Founded in 1962, Enel is a large global power group: in 2024 it reported revenue of €78.9 billion and 60,359 employees, while official company figures indicated about 90 GW of installed capacity and 273.5 TWh of electricity sold.[7]+4 [2]+10

Geographic presence

Enel is headquartered in Rome, Italy, and reports a presence in 41 countries with more than 1,000 subsidiaries worldwide.[25][26] Its operating structure is organized geographically around Italy, Iberia and Rest of the World, with the Rest of the World area comprising Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Central America, the United States and Canada, Mexico, and other countries.[27][28] Enel also identifies Italy, Spain, the United States, Brazil, Chile and Colombia as its core countries.[29]

In Enel’s 2024 geographic reporting, total revenue was €36.2 billion in Italy, €21.3 billion in Iberia and €21.5 billion in Rest of the World, equivalent to roughly 45.9%, 27.0% and 27.2% of group revenue, respectively.[30][31] The workforce was 60,359 employees, split between 31,384 in Italy, 9,365 in Iberia and 19,610 in the Rest of the World, or about 52.0%, 15.5% and 32.5% of the total.[32]+2 In country-level tax transparency disclosures, Italy, Spain and Brazil together accounted for about 74% of total revenue and 83% of employees; the largest country revenue figures shown there were Italy at €40.9 billion, Spain at €20.4 billion and Brazil at €8.5 billion.[35][36]

Geographic operating exposure is also visible in Enel’s customer and asset base. The company reported 49.5 million power customers, including 14.6 million in Italy, 10.2 million in Iberia and 24.7 million in Latin America; it also had 5.8 million gas customers, with 4.0 million in Italy and 1.8 million in Iberia.[37] Enel’s net efficient installed renewable capacity totaled 56.608 GW, distributed across 15.081 GW in Italy, 10.131 GW in Iberia and 31.396 GW in the Rest of the World, indicating that more than half of renewable capacity was outside its two European reporting hubs.[38] [25]+13

Business segments

Enel’s official segment reporting uses a matrix structure with business lines as the primary segment and geography as the secondary segment. The primary reporting segments are Thermal Generation and Trading, Enel Green Power, Enel Grids, End-user Markets, and Holding and Services; the secondary geographic view is Italy, Iberia and Rest of the World, with the latter further split into Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Central America, the United States and Canada, Mexico, and other countries.[27][39]

By activity, Thermal Generation and Trading covers conventional generation together with trading and commodity-management functions; Enel Green Power covers renewable generation, storage and the operation and maintenance of generation plants; Enel Grids covers electricity networks, reliability and quality of supply, and advanced-grid development; End-user Markets is the customer-facing energy, gas and services business, including electric mobility; and Holding and Services represents the parent company and global service entities. Enel also presents a separate organizational-model view built around Global Business Lines such as Enel Green Power and Thermal Generation, Enel Grids and Innovability, Global Energy and Commodity Management and Chief Pricing Officer, and Enel X Global Retail, so the operating breakdown is not identical to the financial segment note.[2][40]

Using 2024 third-party revenue, End-user Markets contributed about 50% of reported segment revenue, Enel Grids about 26%, Thermal Generation and Trading about 13%, Enel Green Power about 11%, and Holding and Services was negligible. Using ordinary gross operating profit, Enel Grids contributed about 35%, Enel Green Power about 32%, End-user Markets about 20%, Thermal Generation and Trading about 14%, and Holding and Services was negative.[41][42] [27]+5

Company history

Enel was created in 1962 as Italy’s National Electricity Board (Ente Nazionale per l’Energia Elettrica), consolidating most of the country’s electricity generation, transmission and distribution activities into a single public entity.[7] In the 1990s, as Italy liberalized its electricity market, Enel began its transition from a state-owned monopoly to a listed corporate group, culminating in its 1999 debut on Borsa Italiana and the New York Stock Exchange.[43][44]

In the early 2000s, Enel accelerated its international expansion through acquisitions in Spain, North America and Brazil.[45]+2 A major turning point in its European expansion came with Endesa: Enel bought 9.99% of the Spanish utility in 2007, and in 2009 reached an agreement to acquire Acciona’s 25.01% stake.[48][49] Enel also strengthened its renewables platform by launching Enel Green Power in 2008 and later reintegrating it into Enel in 2016.[50][51] [7]+9
