Enel Day

Enel's history has deep roots, which cover the most important stages of energy development to date. During the Chamber of Deputies assembly of 26 June 1962, the government presented a bill that sanctioned the principles and procedures for the establishment of the Ente Nazionale per l'energia Elettrica (E.N.EL). According to the bill, Enel was going to acquire all assets of companies producing, processing, transmitting, and distributing electricity, with the exception of self-producers—companies that produced more than 70% of their electricity for other production processes—(the same exception was later applied to municipal authorities), and of small businesses that did not produce more than 10 million kilowatt hours per year. Enel, which originally stood for Ente nazionale per l'energia elettrica (National Electricity Board), was first established as a public body at the end of 1962, and then transformed into a limited company in 1992.

Today Enel S.p.A. is an Italian multinational manufacturer and distributor of electricity and gas. Number of employees: 66,717 (2020). Enel is the 73rd largest company in the world by revenue, with ˆ65.0 billion in 2020.
