Renewable Energy
The Renewable Energy Division has the mission of developing
and managing operations for the generation of
electricity from renewable resources, ensuring their integration
within the Group in line with the Enel Group’s
strategies. The geographical areas of operation for this
Division are:
> Italy and the rest of Europe, with power generation
from non-schedulable hydroelectric plants, as well as
geothermal, wind and solar plants in Italy (Enel Green
Power), Greece (Enel Green Power Hellas), France (Enel
Green Power France), Romania (Enel Green Power Romania)
and Bulgaria (Enel Green Power Bulgaria), and
plant and franchising activities in Italy (Enel.si);
€171 million in greater investments in generation plants,
mainly attributable to Slovenské elektrárne.
> Iberia and Latin America, with power generation from
renewable sources in Spain and Portugal (Enel Green
Power España – formerly Endesa Cogeneración y Renovables
(ECyR) – and Enel Unión Fenosa Renovables) and
Latin America (Enel Latin America);
> North America, with power generation from renewable
sources (Enel North America).
Following the integration of Enel’s operations in the renewable
energy sector in Spain and Portugal at the end
of the 1st Quarter of 2010, ECyR – whose results were reported
in those for the Iberia and Latin America Division
until the reorganization – became part of the Renewable
Energy Division.
