History of Enel

Enel was established in 1962 as the National Electricity Board (Ente Nazionale per l'Energia Elettrica), consolidating Italy's electricity generation and distribution under state control. The company expanded throughout the 1960s and 1970s, becoming Italy's primary electricity provider. During the 1980s and 1990s, Enel modernized its infrastructure and expanded internationally, establishing operations in Spain, France, and other European countries.

In 1999, Enel was privatized and listed on the Borsa Italiana stock exchange, marking the beginning of its transformation into a multinational energy company. The company expanded aggressively through acquisitions, including the acquisition of Endesa in Spain in 2009, establishing Enel as a major European energy provider. In 2008, Enel created Enel Green Power as a dedicated renewable energy subsidiary, positioning itself at the forefront of the global energy transition.

In recent years, Enel has focused on renewable energy expansion, digital transformation, and sustainability. The company has divested non-core assets and focused on its core energy business, particularly renewable generation and distribution. Enel continues to expand its renewable energy capacity globally, becoming one of the world's largest renewable energy companies.
