The Enel organizational model

As from February 2012, the Group has adopted an operating model designed to enhance operational 

flexibility, making Enel one of the most financially robust and, at the same time, most nimble companies 

in the energy industry. The model is based on the following organizational arrangements:

 > Parent Company functions, which are responsible for directing and controlling strategic activities for 

the entire Group;

 > global service functions, which are responsible for providing services to the Group, maximizing syner-

gies and economies of scale;

 > business lines, represented by six divisions, as well as the Upstream Gas Function (which pursues se-

lective vertical integration to increase the competitiveness, security and flexibility of strategic sourcing 

to meet Enel’s gas requirements) and the Carbon Strategy Function (which operates in the world’s 

CO2 certificate markets). 

The activities of the individual divisions are set out below.

The Generation, Energy Management and Sales Italy Division is responsible for:

>  the generation and sale of electricity:

 - generation from thermal and schedulable hydroelectric power plants in Italy (through Enel Produzi-

one, Hydro Dolomiti Enel, SE Hydropower, SF Energy and ENergy Hydro Piave) and in Belgium with 

the Marcinelle thermoelectric plant operated by Enel Trade under a tolling agreement

 - trading on international and Italian markets, primarily through Enel Trade, Enel Trade Romania, Enel 

Trade Croatia and Enel Trade Serbia;

 > provisioning for all of the Group’s needs and the sale of energy products, including the sale of natural 

gas to distributors, through Enel Trade;

 > the development of natural gas regasification plants (Nuove Energie);

 > commercial  activities  in  Italy,  with  the  objective  of  developing  an  integrated  package  of  electricity 

and gas products and services for end users. More specifically, it is responsible for the sale of electric-

ity on the regulated market (Enel Servizio Elettrico) and the sale of electricity on the free market and 

the sale of natural gas to end users (Enel Energia). As from July 1, 2013, following the acquisition of 

Enel.si from the Renewable Energy Division, these businesses were joined by Enel’s retail plant and 

franchising activities in Italy.  

The Infrastructure and Networks Division is primarily responsible for the distribution of electricity 

(Enel Distribuzione) and public and artistic lighting (Enel Sole) in Italy.

The Iberia and Latin America Division focuses on developing Enel Group’s presence and coordinating 

its operations in the electricity and gas markets of Spain, Portugal and Latin America. The geographical 

areas in which it operates are as follows:

 > Europe, with the generation, distribution and sale of electricity and the sale of natural gas in Spain 

and Portugal;

 > Latin America, with the generation, distribution and sale of electricity in Chile, Brazil, Peru, Argentina 

and Colombia.

The International Division supports the Group’s strategies for international growth, managing and inte-

grating the foreign businesses outside the Iberian and Latin American markets, as well as monitoring and 

developing business opportunities that should present themselves on the electricity and fuel markets.

6

EnEl   AnnuAl REpoRt 2013REpoRt on opERAtionsThe chief geographical areas of operation for this Division are:

 > central Europe, where the Division is active in electricity sales in France (Enel France), power genera-

tion in Slovakia (Slovenské elektrárne) and Belgium (Marcinelle Energie);

 > south-eastern Europe, with the development of generation capacity in Romania (Enel Productie), and 

electricity distribution, sales and support activities in Romania (Enel Distributie Banat, Enel Distributie 

Dobrogea, Enel Energie, Enel Distributie Muntenia, Enel Energie Muntenia, Enel Romania and Enel 

Servicii Comune); 

 > Russia, with electricity sales and trading (RusEnergoSbyt), power generation and sales (Enel OGK-5), 

and support services (Enel Rus) in the Russian Federation. 

The Renewable Energy Division has the mission of developing and managing operations for the gen-

eration 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 and other minor companies), Greece 

(Enel Green Power Hellas), France (Enel Green Power France), Romania (Enel Green Power Romania) 

and Bulgaria (Enel Green Power Bulgaria);

 > Iberia and Latin America, with power generation from renewable sources in Spain and Portugal (Enel 

Green Power España) and in Latin America (various companies);

 > North America, with power generation from renewable sources (Enel Green Power North America).

The mission of the Engineering and Research Division is to serve the Group by managing the engineer-

ing processes related to the development and construction of power plants (conventional and nuclear), 

while meeting Enel’s quality standards, ensuring compliance with the deadlines and financial objectives set 

for it. In addition, it is responsible for coordinating nuclear technology operations, providing independent 

monitoring of the Group’s nuclear activities with regard to safety issues. Finally, it manages research activi-

ties identified in the process of managing innovation, with a focus on strategic research and technology 

scouting.

In the Annual Report 2013, the results by operating segment are discussed on the basis of the organiza-

tional arrangements described above and taking account of the management approach as provided for 

under IFRS 8. For that reason, the generation and energy management results of the Generation, Energy 

Management and Sales Italy Division are shown separately from the results pertaining to electricity and gas 

sales in Italy, consistent with the practice in previous periods and with the structure of internal reporting to 

top management.

In addition, account was taken of the possibilities for the simplification of disclosures associated with the 

materiality thresholds also established under IFRS 8 and, therefore, the item “Other, eliminations and ad-

justments” includes not only the effects from the elimination of intersegment transactions, but also the 

figures for the Parent Company, Enel SpA, the “Services and other activities” area and the “Engineering and 

Research” Division, as well as the Upstream Gas Function.

Letter to shareholders 
and other stakeholders

Dear stakeholders,

The economic crisis that has reigned in recent years in many western countries appears to have passed 

through its most acute phase. Some countries, like the United States, have started down the road to 

recovery  more  decisively,  while  others,  such  as  the  euro-area  countries,  are  individually  regaining 

economic  stability  but  are  also  struggling  to  emerge  from  the  crisis  at  the  same  speed.  Then  there 

are the emerging economies where the Group is present, such as those in Latin America, which are 

continuing to grow.

The trend in primary energy demand clearly reflects these dynamics. In the euro area, the fragile and 

slow  recovery  has  not  yet  triggered  a  rise  in  consumption,  which  remains  at  its  level  of  nearly  two 

decades  ago.  Also  weighing  on  the  performance  of  the  electricity  industry  in  some  countries,  such 

as  Italy  and  Spain,  which  are  of  great  importance  for  Enel,  are  regulatory  policies  that  have  often 

looked to utilities as a source of funding for state budgets. The situation is different in eastern Europe 

and in Latin America, where development and economic growth continue to sustain the demand for 

electricity  and  gas,  making  new  investment  profitable.  The  growth  of  the  renewable  energy  sector 

remains stable at the global level.

The conditions I have described represent a cross-section of a complex reality that Enel has tackled by 

exploiting its geographic diversification, a well-balanced mix of generation technologies, management 

action to reduce costs and the optimization of investments and the generation of cash flow, all accom-

panied by the expansion of the Group, especially in emerging markets and in renewable energy.

The results of the past year have now reached and in some cases exceeded the targets announced to 

investors and have permitted us to confirm the good returns offered by our stock.

The  gross  operating  margin  rose  by  7.6%  compared  with  2012,  reaching  €17,011  million,  despite 

revenue falling from €84,949 million in 2012 to €80,535 million in 2013.

At  the  end  of  2013,  net  financial  debt  had  fallen  to  €39,862  million,  a  decrease  of  €3,086  million 

10

EnEl   AnnuAl REpoRt 2013REpoRt on opERAtionsfrom the €42,948 million registered at the end of 2012 and about €16 billion lower than its peak in 

2007.  The  results  of  current  operations  and  non-recurring  transactions  completed  during  the  year, 

including asset disposals, more than offset the cash requirements of investments and the payments 

of dividends, interest and taxes, enabling us to maintain a strong balance sheet. Enel generated free 

cash flow in the last few years, including 2013, of €3 billion.

For the future, we will face new market dynamics that are emerging under the pressure of four macro 

trends:  the  spread  of  new  technologies,  the  growing  contribution  of  the  emerging  markets  to  the 

world economy, the proactive role of customers and new approaches of institutions and governments 

in their energy and environmental policies.

The priorities on which we will concentrate are:

 > redefining our strategy in response to the new business model and focusing:

 - on restructuring conventional generation in Italy and Spain and selective growth in that segment 

in growth markets;

 -  on  strengthening  our  leadership  in  renewable  energy,  with  the  creation  of  new  capacity  in 

high-potential  markets  and  the  development  of  new  technologies  on  the  path  towards  grid 

parity;

 - on  maintaining  our  leadership  in  efficiency,  service  quality  and  the  smart  technologies  of  our 

distribution grid;

 -  on delivering high-value-added services for our customers;

 > maximizing cash flows, in both mature and emerging markets, through continuous improvements 

in operating efficiency, a selective investment plan and stringent control over working capital;

 > completing the debt reduction plan, optimizing our asset portfolio and increasing the economic 

interest of the Group through minority buyouts and corporate reorganization.

These  priorities  are  marked  by  a  constant  drive  towards  innovation,  the  only  way  to  maintain  and 

renew our leadership on a lasting basis, and by a strong focus on the sustainability of our operations, 

as a prerequisite for adding value over time to the benefit of our stakeholders.

Buoyed by the results we have achieved and aware of the tools we have to meet the challenges that 

lie ahead, we will continue to work to achieve these value targets in the markets of significance to 

our shareholders.

The contribution of the operating divisions to Group performance is briefly described below.

Generation, Energy Management and Sales Italy

In 2013, macroeconomic conditions in Italy and the rest of Europe led to a further decline in electricity 

demand, which amounted to 317.1 TWh (-3.4% on the previous year). This situation, together with 

the  increasing  share  of  output  generated  from  renewable  sources,  has  tightened  competition  and 

increased the demand for balancing services for the system.

Generation  by  the  thermal  power  plants  of  the  Division  declined  by  13.9%  from  2012.  Due  to  the 

considerable water availability during the year, hydroelectric generation recorded a 27.4% increase. 

Overall,  the  energy  generated  by  the  Division  in  Italy  amounted  to  59.6  TWh  in  2013  (-5%  on  the 

previous year).

The  gross  operating  margin  of  the  Generation  and  Energy  Management  area  amounted  to  €1,176 

million in 2013, an increase of 7.8% compared with 2012, with a significant contribution coming from 

the services market, made possible by the availability and flexibility of our plant assets.

11

 
In the gas segment, a revision of withdrawal commitments allowed us to rebalance volumes, thereby 

permitting us to avoid extra costs for lower-than-agreed withdrawals. The continuation of actions to 

improve the operating efficiency, reliability and safety of our plants also enabled significant cost sav-

ings compared with 2012.

The Sales area in 2013 continued to focus its attention on the most valuable segments of the mass 

market. In a highly competitive retail market, characterized by increasingly knowledgeable custom-

ers, the strategy we have adopted seeks to innovate our product range through the development of 

a wide range of turnkey solutions for more responsible and efficient energy use, the so-called “New 

Downstream”, shifting consumption to the most efficient supplier of electricity.

Enel Energia was once again the leading Italian operator in the energy market, with about 5.1 million 

electricity customers and 3.3 million natural gas customers at the end of 2013. Similarly, Enel Servizio 

Elettrico remained the leading operator in the enhanced protection market, with 22.4 million custom-

ers at December 31, 2013 (down 1.2 million compared with 2012 due to the gradual liberalization of 

the market).

The improvement in the quality of customer service perceived by customers enabled the two compa-

nies to hold first and second place in the ranking prepared by the Authority for Electricity and Gas (the 

Authority) of the best contact centers in the industry for the third year in a row. This performance was 

achieved through the rationalization of systems and integrated management of customers, without 

neglecting a constant focus on internal efficiency.

Quality is a distinguishing factor in developing the New Downstream segment. The new product of-

fering, launched as a pilot project under the Enel Green Solution brand, has enabled Enel customers 

to improve the efficiency of their homes.

Our strategy and the actions of management are reflected in a gross operating margin of €866 mil-

lion, an increase of 42.2% compared with 2012 and 54% compared with 2011.

Infrastructure and Networks Italy 

The strong operational and financial performance of the Infrastructure and Networks Division in 2013 

confirms Enel’s leadership in electricity distribution, with a total of 31.7 million customers served and 

230 TWh of power distributed. Last year, the Division had revenues of €7,698 million and a gross op-

erating margin of €4,008 million, an increase of 10.6% compared with 2012.

The great commitment to operational excellence produced a further improvement in the service qual-

ity, easily outperforming the targets set by the Authority. The number of interruptions per customer 

declined from 3.7 in 2012 to 3.3 in 2013, while the total duration of outages per customer improved 

sharply, reaching an average of 41 minutes, compared with 46 in 2012.

In 2013, Enel connected about 105 thousand renewable generation plants to the grid (1,800 MW). 

The total number of plants connected to our network has reached 540 thousand, with a capacity of 

25,500 MW.

In Italy, the automated remote management system for electronic meters executed more than 7 mil-

lion  contract  transactions  and  more  than  400  million  remote  readings.  In  Spain,  the  installation  of 

electronic meters continued with the installation of more than 4 million units, with a goal of serving 

about 13 million customers in the coming years.

In the field of smart grids, Enel confirmed its European leadership, chairing the “European Distribu-

tion System Operators (EDSO) for Smart Grids” association, through which it develops the implemen-

tation plans for pilot projects. During 2013, several projects were initiated with financing under the 

7th Framework Programme of the European Commission, seeking to introduce smart grid and smart 

city technologies, including the evolvDSO, ADVANCED and Grid4EU projects.

12

EnEl   AnnuAl REpoRt 2013REpoRt on opERAtionsInnovative projects also continued in Italy, such as the smart grid project in Isernia – with support from 

the Authority – and the projects of the Interregional Operational Plan for the southern regions funded 

by the Ministry for Economic Development.

In the smart cities field, Enel has launched projects in Italy, in L’Aquila, and at the international level, 

in Santiago, Chile, initiatives that join the other projects of the Enel Group around the world (Malaga, 

Barcelona and Búzios in Latin America).

An  important  contribution  to  the  development  of  electric  mobility  was  the  signing  of  a  number 

of  agreements  in  2013  with  local  and  regional  governments  (Rome,  Bari  and  the  Region  of  Um-

bria) and private companies (BMW). Enel’s charging infrastructure for electric vehicles now exceeds 

1,200 points.

The Public Lighting business area (Enel Sole) improved on the already positive results of the previous 

year and, thanks to developments in the Archilede® project and the extension of the CONSIP tender, 

has consolidated its leadership position in Italy and grew in Spain. In particular, thanks to the CONSIP 

“Servizio Luce 2“ agreement, some 200 thousand lighting points were taken under management in 

2013,  with  total  revenues  of  over  €265  million.  Last  year  also  saw  the  consolidation  of  Enel  Sole’s 

presence in Spain, as the company – together with Endesa Ingeniería – was awarded three long-term 

integrated  management  contracts  (in  Abarán,  Rincón  de  la  Victoria  and  Móra  d’Ebre,  for  a  total  of 

more than 10 thousand lighting points).

Iberia and Latin America

In 2013, the Iberia and Latin America Division posted a gross operating margin of €6,746 million, a 

decrease of 6.7% compared with 2012. The decline was attributable to a fall of 18.7% in the margin 

achieved in Spain and Portugal, mainly as a result of regulatory and fiscal measures adopted in 2012 

and 2013 by the Spanish government. However, the decline was partly offset by an improvement of 

8.2% in the margin in Latin America and an increase in operating efficiency.

Investments  in  Spain  and  Portugal  declined,  to  about  €849  million,  while  they  increased  in  Latin 

America, reaching €1,332 million.

Net financial debt also improved, largely as a result of the capital increase by the minority sharehold-

ers of Enersis, who paid the increase with €1,796 million in cash. The operation, which was success-

fully  completed  in  March  2013,  will  help  expand  operations  in  the  region  with  new  investments, 

through both organic growth and the acquisition of non-controlling interests.

In  Spain,  the  €396  million  in  costs  from  the  application  of  regulatory  measures  approved  in  2012 

were joined by the effects of other fiscal and regulatory measures approved during 2013, with an 

additional negative impact of €933 million on the gross operating margin.

Despite  the  adverse  effect  of  the  additional  measures,  the  gross  operating  margin  in  the  Iberian 

peninsula only fell by €750 million compared with 2012, to €3,253 million. This was achieved thanks 

to the implementation of a targeted commercial strategy, with the launch and the strengthening of 

our value-added products and services, energy efficiency policies and the reduction of fixed costs. 

Other positive factors include increased hydroelectric generation and better margins in energy trad-

ing operations.

Unlike Spain (where the electricity demand in the peninsular area fell by 2.2% between 2012 and 

2013), the Latin American countries in which the Division operates are characterized by rapid growth 

in electricity demand: Peru (+6.6%), Chile (+4.2% in the SIC, +3.8% in the SING), Argentina (+3.6%), 

Brazil (+3.4%) and Colombia (+2.4%).

The distribution companies of the Division handled 61,512 GWh of power, with increases in Brazil 

(+4.4%), Chile (+4.4%), Peru (+2.7%), Argentina (+1.3%) and Colombia (+1.0%).

13

The gross operating margin of Latin American operations came to €3,493 million, an increase of 

8.2%  despite  the  adverse  impact  of  drought  in  the  region  and  the  depreciation  of  local  curren-

cies  against  the  euro  (which  led  to  a  reduction  of  €350  million).  Excluding  this  effect,  the  gross 

operating margin would have increased by 18%, confirming the region’s position as an important 

platform for growth.

This rise in profitability was due, among other things, to the payment by the Argentine government 

of a portion of costs not transferred to rates from 2007 to September 2013 (€381 million) and to an 

improvement of the generation business in Chile.

International

In 2013, the International Division posted revenues of €7,737 million and a gross operating margin 

of €1,405 million, reaching the targets set out in the business plan despite the deterioration in the 

business environment. The past year was characterized by numerous critical issues in the countries in 

which the Division operates, with a decline in demand and electricity prices, increased competition 

in retail markets and increased regulatory pressure from governments. On the operational side, out-

put amounted to 63.2 TWh, a slight decrease compared with 2012. The effect of this decline on the 

income statement was offset by the effective operational management of assets and the maximiza-

tion of institutional and regulatory factors. Finally, retail sales totaled 45.7 TWh, a decrease from the 

previous year due to the combined effect of developments in sourcing in France and the decline in 

demand in Romania and Russia.

In Slovakia, the Division achieved a gross operating margin of €708 million. The availability of nucle-

ar facilities increased further, with an average load factor of 92.3%, making Slovenské elektrárne the 

world’s leading operator of VVER plants. Also in the nuclear field, work is continuing on construc-

tion of new units at the Mochovce plant. Once completed, and following the changes introduced to 

ensure compliance with new safety requirements determined with stress tests, the plant will be one 

of the most advanced systems among those currently in operation in Europe.

In Russia, Enel OGK-5 posted a gross operating margin of €399 million, an increase over the previous 

year thanks to higher prices and the initiatives taken to streamline and rationalize the cost structure, 

despite the decline in output attributable to the slowdown in demand and the concomitant entry 

into the market of our competitors’ new, more efficient units. The sales company RusEnergoSbyt, in 

which Enel holds a stake of 49.5%, has continued to diversify its commercial portfolio, achieving a 

gross operating margin for 2013 (pro-rated for the interest held by Enel) of about €112 million.

In Romania, the three distribution companies continued their activities to modernize grids and im-

prove service quality, bringing their performance parameters close to the benchmarks typical of the 

most advanced countries. This achievement was made possible by the implementation of infrastruc-

ture and management initiatives based on the best practices adopted within the Enel Group. Includ-

ing the performance of the electricity sales companies, the country posted a gross operating margin 

of €289 million, an increase of 25% over the previous year.

In France, the termination of the agreement with EDF on the Flamanville 3 project, which gave Enel 

anticipated capacity to sell on the market, prompted Enel France to focus on reorganizing its com-

mercial  portfolio.  The  gradual  reduction  of  that  anticipated  capacity  to  zero,  to  be  completed  by 

2015,  made  it  necessary  to  review  the  sourcing  of  power  and  reduce  overhead  costs  in  order  to 

protect margins in an environment of declining market prices and rising sourcing costs. This laid the 

foundations for a more flexible structure, one able to exploit any opportunities that could arise in 

the current process of market liberalization.

14

EnEl   AnnuAl REpoRt 2013REpoRt on opERAtionsRenewable Energy Division

In 2013, the Renewable Energy Division continued to pursue its strategy of rapid growth, focused on 

emerging markets with abundant natural resources, strong growth in electricity demand and stable 

social and economic systems. At the same time, the Division continued to consolidate its presence 

in European markets. 

Net installed capacity at the end of 2013 amounted to 8.9 GW, an increase of 0.9 GW compared with 

2012 (+11.0 %). Net Group electricity generation amounted to 29.5 TWh in 2013, an increase of 4.3 

TWh (up 17.3%) on 2012, due primarily to the increase in installed capacity.

The  changes  in  capacity  and  output  are  reflected  in  an  increase  in  the  main  financial  aggregates. 

Division revenues amounted in 2013 to €2,827 million, an increase of 4.9% compared with 2012. The 

rise was mainly due to higher revenues from the sale of electricity, including incentives, thanks to 

increased production. The gross operating margin totaled €1,788 million, up 9.0% from the €1,641 

million posted in 2012.

The Division developed major projects during the year.

In the United States, an agreement was reached with GE Capital to raise the Division’s stake in the 

Chisholm View (235 MW) and Prairie Rose (200 MW) wind farms to 75%. In the geothermal sector, 

the Cove Fort plant in the state of Utah (25 MW) entered service, while the wind segment saw the 

start of construction of the Origin facility (150 MW) in Oklahoma.

In  Latin  America,  and  in  particular  Brazil  in  the  states  of  Bahia,  Pernambuco  and  Rio  Grande  do 

Norte, construction began on three new wind farms with a total installed capacity of 192 MW. In 

Chile, the Division completed and connected its first two wind farms to the grid: the Talinay plant, in 

the Coquimbo region (90 MW) and the Valle de los Vientos plant, in the region of Antofagasta (90 

MW). In Mexico, construction began on two new wind farms totaling 202 MW.

The Division also consolidated its presence in Europe during the year.

In Romania and Greece, photovoltaic plants with 77 MW of capacity were built and connected to 

the  grid.  In  Greece,  ESSE,  an  equally  held  joint  venture  with  Sharp,  placed  15  MW  of  photovoltaic 

capacity into service.

The Division strengthened its presence in Italy, thanks to the entry into service of two new photovoltaic 

plants at Serre Persano, in the province of Salerno, with a total installed capacity of 21 MW. In Sardinia, a 

project to convert a former Eridania sugar refinery into a 50 MW power plant was begun: the initiative is 

part of a broader plan to develop the locally sourced biomass generation industry in Italy.

Finally, in South Africa, as part of the renewable energy tender organized by the government, the 

Division was awarded the right to enter into electricity supply contracts with the South African util-

ity Eskom for a total of 513 MW, including 314 MW of photovoltaic projects and 199 MW of wind 

projects. The photovoltaic systems will use thin-film solar panels produced by the 3SUN factory in 

Catania, the equally held joint venture between Enel Green Power, Sharp and STMicroelectronics. 

The plant is expected to enter service in 2016. This important achievement places Enel Green Power 

among  the  leading  renewable  energy  players  in  South  Africa  and  also  opens  the  way  to  possible 

future development opportunities for the Enel Group.

Upstream Gas

The year 2013 was marked by the sale of Enel’s stake in SeverEnergia, one of the largest gas fields in 

Russia, to Itera (Rosneft Group) for a total of $1.8 billion. This sale, which produced a gain of about €1 

billion, and the concomitant signing of a long-term contract for the supply of gas to the power plants 

of Enel OGK-5 on particularly advantageous terms, confirmed the value and competitive advantage 

that a selective, focused presence in the upstream gas segment brings to the Group as a whole.

15

Enel’s activities are continuing in Algeria, where the Isarene project is being developed, with the start 

of production expected by the end of 2017. The field is estimated to have a plateau of about 3.5 bil-

lion cubic meters. In addition, the second exploration period of the South East Illizi project will follow 

the two discoveries made in the first exploration period.

Excellent results have been obtained also in Italy, where Enel has completed a seismic survey and so 

far identified a total of four exploration prospects that will be drilled over the next two years and ex-

panded its portfolio with the submission of new applications for exploration permits.

Engineering and Research

During 2013, the Engineering and Research Division was involved in the refurbishment of the conven-

tional and nuclear power plants of the Group and in supervision of the safety and performance of the 

nuclear assets of Endesa and Slovenské elektrárne.

The Research unit, in particular, continued to pursue the Group’s strategic research programs.

In Italy, the renovation of the port facilities at the Brindisi power plant was completed. Construction 

of a covered coal storage facility at the same site park is under way.

In Sicily, at Porto Empedocle, work began on the partial conversion of the existing power plant from fuel 

oil to gas turbine systems. The construction of a regasification terminal within the port area also began.

In Russia, at the Reftinskaya power station, the largest plant in the world for the dry transportation 

and storage of ash (DARS) was completed, as were environmental improvements and revamping of 

the first 10 units of the power plant. The environmental upgrading of other units is also under way.

In  Spain  a  feasibility  study  for  the  environmental  upgrading  and  extension  of  the  useful  life  of  the 

Litoral  coal-fired  plant  was  carried  out.  In  South  America,  the  Division  partnered  with  Endesa  on  a 

feasibility study for new coal-fired plants.

With regard to the Nuclear area, the monitoring activities of the Nuclear Safety Oversight unit were 

strengthened  through  greater  integration  with  the  operating  units  of  the  Group’s  nuclear  facilities 

and by sharing best practices with other leading nuclear operators.

At the nuclear power plants in Slovakia and Spain, engineering activities were begun to support the 

implementation of improvement measures identified during the stress testing. Finally, the team en-

gaged in the engineering and construction of units 3 and 4 at the Mochovce nuclear power plant was 

strengthened further.

In  the  field  of  renewables  generation,  the  Research  unit  was  involved  in  the  study  and  experimen-

tation of new technologies and solutions to improve the integration into  the grid of  the electricity 

produced by distributed generators. Supplementing this effort, work continued on developing new 

generation storage systems, aimed at optimizing investment and electricity flows on the grid.

Finally,  development  work  continued  on  creating  energy  efficiency  solutions  and  value-added  ser-

vices for remote users, industrial districts and residential customers.

Outlook

The Group’s strategic priorities in the period covered by the 2014-2018 Business Plan respond to the 

expected structural evolution in the world’s macroeconomic conditions and in the energy industry. 

More specifically, the former will continue to move ahead at two speeds: on the one hand the Euro-

pean  countries,  which  are  emerging  slowly  from  the  crisis;  on  the  other,  the  emerging  economies, 

especially those in Latin America, where electricity demand is still expanding rapidly.

In this context, Enel expects the following main trends to drive the evolution of these scenarios: (i) 

the emerging markets will continue to fuel global growth; (ii) technological innovation will be one 

of the key factors driving trends in the energy sector; (iii) end users will be increasingly well-informed 

16

EnEl   AnnuAl REpoRt 2013REpoRt on opERAtionsabout technology and environmental matters; and (iv) regulatory systems will sharpen their focus on 

environmental issues and system costs. 

In  the  business  plan,  the  Group  confirms  the  increasingly  important  role  of  the  emerging  markets, 

with an investment policy targeted at consolidating its position and simplifying its corporate struc-

ture. Renewables will expand substantially, with careful selection of high-return investment opportu-

nities. Another area of action will be the retail market, energy efficiency and, more generally, value-

added services, a segment with robust growth potential. In this area, as in the smart grid field, Enel 

intends to strengthen its leadership position, leveraging the key driver, technological innovation, and 

a geographically and technologically well-diversified asset portfolio which forms the foundation of 

the Group’s future development. 

Reducing debt and generating cash flows will also remain a top priority for the Group. And maximiza-

tion of cash flows is precisely the goal of the plan for optimizing operating costs launched in 2013, 

which has already led to the identification of major opportunities for efficiency gains, with results that 

have  easily  exceeded  expectations.  These  opportunities  will  continue  to  be  pursued  in  the  coming 

years, with a special focus on businesses in the mature markets.

Revenues 

Revenues  in  2013  amounted  to  €80,535  million,  a  decrease  of  €4,414  million 

(-5.2%) compared with 2012. The decline is essentially attributable to the con-

traction  in  revenues  from  the  sale  of  electricity,  largely  due  to  the  decline  in 

volumes sold, only partly offset by an increase in revenues from the transport of 

electricity and the sale of fuels. Revenues for 2013 also include the gain (€964 

million) on the disposal of Artic Russia (and indirectly the stake held by the latter 

in SeverEnergia, a hydrocarbon extraction company in Russia), in the 4th Quar-

Gross operating margin

The  gross  operating  margin  for  2013  totaled  €17,011  million,  up  7.6%  com-

pared with 2012. The margin for 2013 includes the gain on the disposal of Artic 

15,809

Russia, while that for 2012 reflects an adjustment (in the amount of €929 million) 

2013

2012

made for comparative purposes only in compliance with the new version of IAS 

19 upon first-time application. The adjustment mainly regards the recognition of 

charges for the transition-to-retirement plan for certain employees in Italy at the 

end of 2012. Excluding those items, the decline in the gross operating margin is 

mainly attributable to the expected contraction in the results achieved in Spain 

and conventional generation activities in Italy, only partly offset by the good per-

formance  of  the  Sales  Italy  business  area,  the  Renewable  Energy  Division  and 

Latin  American  operations,  with  the  latter  posting  their  result  despite  adverse 

developments in the exchange rates of local currencies against the euro.

Operating income came to €9,944 million in 2013, an increase of 46.1% com-

pared with 2012 (€6,806 million), reflecting in part the adjustment associated 

with  the  first-time  application  of  IAS  19  Revised.  The  change  in  depreciation, 

amortization and impairment losses reflects the effect of the difference in the 

impairment recognized in 2013 and 2012 on the goodwill of a number of cash 

generating units (€744 million in 2013 and €2,584 million in 2012). More spe-

cifically, the impairment recognized in 2013 was entirely accounted for by the 

writedown  of  part  of  the  goodwill  of  the  “Enel  OGK-5”  cash  generating  unit 

to  reflect  the  expected  contraction  in  estimated  future  cash  flows,  as  a  result 

of  the  continuing  slowdown  in  economic  growth  and  the  consequent  decline 

in  the  forecast  growth  in  prices  in  the  medium  term  in  the  Russian  market.  In 

this  regard,  an  impairment  loss  of  €112  million  had  already  been  recognized 

in 2012 following the emergence of the first signs of change in outlook and a 

deterioration in the profitability of that CGU. In addition, the impairment losses 

recognized  in  2012  included  impairment  of  €2,392  million  on  the  goodwill  of 

the “Endesa-Iberia” CGU.

Restatement of the balance sheet 
and the income statement 

The main impacts of the application, as from January 1, 2013 with retrospective effect, of the new ver-

sion of “IAS 19 - Employee benefits” on the balance sheet and income statement figures reported for 

comparative purposes only in these consolidated financial statements are as follows:

 > as the corridor approach may no longer be used, all actuarial gains and losses are recognized di-

rectly in equity. Accordingly, the amortization accruing in 2012 in respect of the excess gains and 

losses outside the corridor, as quantified at December 31, 2012, was eliminated from the income 

statement (€19 million). In addition, the actuarial gains and losses not recognized in application of 

the previous method were recognized in equity, with a consequent adjustment of the respective 

defined-benefit obligation and the net plan assets recognized in the balance sheet;

 > as  the  recognition  of  past  service  cost  in  the  income  statement  may  no  longer  be  deferred,  the 

portion not recognized at December 31, 2012 was recognized as an increase in the defined-benefit 

obligation, posted to equity for the amount pertaining to previous years and to profit or loss for 

the amount accruing for 2012. More specifically, the amount recognized in the income statement 

involved €932 million in respect of charges for the transition-to-retirement plan established in 2012 

for certain employees in Italy;

 > in application of the new standard, interest income on plan assets is recognized in substitution of 

the expected return on those assets. That interest is no longer reported under financial income but 

rather is offset against the financial expense associated with the benefit plans.

In  all  cases,  the  theoretical  tax  effects  were  calculated  and  amounts  pertaining  to  non-controlling 

interests were allocated.

In  addition,  in  2013,  the  Group  adopted  a  new  accounting  treatment  as  part  of  the  project  to  har-

monize the treatment of the recognition and presentation of the various types of environmental cer-

tificates (CO2 allowance, green certificates, energy efficiency certificates, etc.). The new approach is 
based on the business model of the companies involved in the incentive mechanisms for environmen-

tal certificates and led to a number of reclassifications in the consolidated income statement.

Finally,  as  a  result  of  the  definitive  allocation  of  the  purchase  prices  of  the  Kafireas  pipeline,  Stipa 

Nayaá and Eólica Zopiloapan, companies operating in the Renewable Energy Division, which was com-

pleted after December 31, 2012, the balance-sheet accounts at that date have been restated to reflect 

the measurement at fair value of the net assets acquired. 

For more information, please see note 4 of these consolidated financial statements. The following

taled  €7,067  million  in  2013,  a  decrease  of  €1,936  million 

(-21.5%).  The  decrease  is  attributable  to  a  decrease  in  im-

pairment  losses  on  assets,  net  of  any  writebacks,  in  the 

amount  of  €1,817  million,  a  decline  in  depreciation  and 

amortization of €187 million, partially offset by an increase 

of €68 million in net impairment losses on receivables. More 

specifically, the decrease in impairment losses is essentially 

attributable  to  the  effect  of  the  impairment  recognized  in 

the two years examined here on goodwill. In 2012, impair-

ment losses, net of any writebacks, were recognized in the 

total amount of €2,819 million, essentially in respect of the 

impairment of goodwill of the cash generating units Ende-

sa-Iberia  (€2,392  million),  Enel  OGK-5  (€112  million)  and 

Endesa  Ireland  (€67  million),  as  well  as  the  adjustment  to 

estimated realizable value of the net assets of Marcinelle En-

ergie  (€145  million).  Impairment  losses  in  2013  amounted 

to €1,002 million and include €744 million in respect of the 

partial  writedown  of  the  goodwill  of  the  Enel  OGK-5  cash 

generating unit.

Operating income in 2013 amounted to €9,944 million, an 

increase of €3,138 million compared with the previous year 

(46.1%),  taking  account  of  the  decrease  in  depreciation, 

amortization and impairment losses noted above.

Net  financial  expense  in  2013  totaled  €2,813  million,  a 

decrease  of  €199  million  compared  with  the  previous  year 

(€3,012 million). The fall is mainly attributable to a decrease in 

financial expense in respect of the accretion of provisions for 

employee benefits and the positive impact of exchange rate 

differences. These factors were partly offset by a decrease in 

income from equity investments, which in 2012 included the 

gain on the disposal of the interest in Terna, as well as by an 

increase in net charges on derivatives transactions.

The  gross  operating  margin  for  2013  amounted  €1,022

cluding that gain, the gross operating margin rose by €93 

million.  More  specifically,  the  contraction  in  the  margin 

on  certain  services  provided  to  other  Group  divisions  was 

more than offset by the effect of the recognition in 2012 

of a charge of €136 million (mainly in retrospective appli-

United States

The  United  States  has  a  two-level  renewables  incentive  sys-

tem.  The  federal  level  envisages  various  types  of  support, 

including  tax  incentives  for  production  and  investment  (the 

Production Tax Credit and the Investment Tax Credit), accel-

erated depreciation and federal subsidies. At the state level, 

the  main  incentive  is  a  Renewable  Portfolio  Standard  (RPS) 

mechanism, i.e. a system of mandatory percentages of gener-

ation from renewables for utilities, with targets differing from 

state to state. Most states have adopted systems of tradable 

certificates but there is no corresponding platform active at 

the  federal  level.  The  American  Taxpayer  Relief  Act,  signed 

on January 2, 2013, extended the life of the Production Tax 

Credit for wind plants by one year and changed the termina-

tion dates for the Production Tax Credit for all other technolo-

gies: plants no longer must enter service by the termination 

date in order to qualify but rather must begin construction by 

December 31, 2013. 

Between  May  and  September  2013,  the  Internal  Revenue 

Service published guidelines with more detailed operational 

specifications of the requirements for the definition of “begin 

construction” for the purposes of qualifying for the Produc-

tion Tax Credit. The termination date of the Tax Credit Invest-

ment for solar power was left unchanged, with plants having 

to enter service by December 31, 2016.

including through partnerships with schools.

Energy,  science,  technology,  environment:  these  are  the 

key works of the PlayEnergy initiative, a free project com-

bining  entertainment  and  education  that  Enel  has  been 

organizing  for  the  last  11  years  in  schools  in  10  different 

countries, all with the goal of disseminating a responsible 

energy culture among young people, starting with knowl-

edge to enable responsible decision-making. This commit-

ment  is  renewed  each  year,  involving  thousands  of  stu-

dents of all ages with the use of on- and off-line materials 

and local initiatives. 

Enel  also  publishes  Oxygen,  the  quarterly  magazine  de-

voted to promoting scientific thought and debate, with a 

focus  on  the  environment,  energy,  innovation  and,  more 

generally, geopolitical events. 

Finally,  Enel  supports  many  initiatives  aimed  at  providing 

access to information and opportunities for dialog.

The relationship with local 
communities

Strengthening  the  Group’s  leadership  necessarily  involves 

forging  a  responsible  partnership  with  the  local  communi-

ties  and  areas  which  host  our  power  plants  and  other  ac-

tivities,  credibility  in  relations  with  the  governments  and 

authorities  in  the  countries  in  which  Enel  operates  and  a 

stable,  ongoing  and  integrated  relationship  with  all  stake-

holders, based on trust and respect for shared values.

This constant interaction with the local communities is at the 

heart of Enel’s relationship with them. In order to maintain 

constructive exchange and involvement in managing Enel’s 

impact on the local communities, it is necessary, first of all, 

for  those  communities  to  be  more  aware  of  the  Group’s 

activities.  This  is  the  reasoning  behind  all  of  our  initiatives 

aimed at bringing the general public closer to the world of 

energy,  such  as  publications  about  our  projects,  tours  of 

our plants, speaking opportunities at cultural and scientific 

events, informational videos, the publication of information 

about our work sites, the Natura e Territorio (Nature and the 

Territory)  programs  to  promote  sports  and  recreation,  cul-

tural itineraries and nature walks around our plants, and all 

of the other initiatives to promote our industrial heritage. 

In  2013,  Enel  also  launched  the  Stakeholder  Management 

project by which Enel ask them to share with us their expec-

tations concerning our business.

Education, science, 
information

Enel has long promoted a culture of environmental sustain-

ability  and  the  informed  use  of  resources,  both  through 

dedicated initiatives and by investing in research and in the 

dissemination of scientific knowledge. 

For example, Enel introduces young people to the world of

Energy storage  

The ability to store the energy generated from renewable 

sources is proving to be one of the most interesting, sig-

nificant challenges in the management of renewable en-

ergy, as well as in the evolution of smart grids and in the 

manner in which energy is managed at both the residen-

tial and industrial level. As storage systems become more 

efficient, it will be possible to store the electricity gener-

ated  when  costs  are  lower  and  there  is  an  abundance  of 

renewable energy and then use that energy at a later time 

when it is needed. 

In Italy and Spain, numerous pilot projects are under way 

in which various storage technologies installed at various 

points of the grid are being tested and compared.

Investment  property  consists  of  the  Group’s  real  estate 

held to generate rental income or capital gains rather than 

for use in operations or the delivery of goods and services.

Investment  property  is  initially  recognized  at  cost  in  the 

same  manner  as  other  property,  plant  and  equipment. 

Subsequently,  it  is  measured  at  cost  net  of  depreciation 

and any impairment losses. 

Impairment losses are determined on the basis of the fol-

lowing criteria.

The fair value of investment property is determined assum-

ing  that  the  individual  assets  are  sold  in  an  orderly  trans-

action  between  market  participants  at  the  measurement 

date  at  current  market  conditions.  The  calculation  of  fair 

value  takes  account  of  the  condition  of  the  individual  as-

sets and any lease income and other assumptions that mar-

ket participants would use in determining the price of the 

asset at current market conditions. The fair value of invest-

Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are not am-

ortized  systematically.  Instead,  they  undergo  impairment 

testing at least annually.

Intangible  assets  are  derecognized  either  at  the  time  of 

their  disposal  or  when  no  future  economic  benefit  is  ex-

pected from their use or disposal. Any gain or loss, recog-

nized through profit or loss, is calculated as the difference 

between  the  net  consideration  received  in  the  disposal, 

where  present,  and  the  net  book  value  of  the  derecog-

nized assets.

Goodwill deriving from the acquisition of subsidiaries, as-

sociated  companies  or  joint  ventures  is  allocated  to  each 

of the cash generating units identified. After initial recog-

nition, goodwill is not amortized but is tested for recover-

ability at least annually using the criteria described in note 

17 below. Goodwill relating to equity investments in asso-

ciates is included in their carrying amount.

Investment  property  is  derecognized  either  at  the  time 

of  its  disposal  or  when  no  future  economic  benefit  is  ex-

pected  from  its  use  or  disposal.  Any  gain  or  loss,  recog-

nized through profit or loss, is calculated as the difference 

between  the  net  consideration  received  in  the  disposal, 

where  present,  and  the  net  book  value  of  the  derecog-

nized assets.

Intangible assets 

Intangible  assets  are  identifiable  assets  without  physical 

substance  controlled  by  the  entity  and  capable  of  gener-

ating  future  economic  benefits,  as  well  as  goodwill  if  ac-

quired for consideration. They are measured at purchase or 

internal development cost, when it is probable that the use 

of such assets will generate future economic benefits and 

the related cost can be reliably determined.

The  cost  includes  any  directly  attributable  incidental  ex-

penses necessary to make the assets ready for use. 

The  assets,  with  a  definite  useful  life,  are  reported  net  of 

accumulated amortization and any impairment losses, de-

termined as set out below. 

Amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis over the 

item’s estimated useful life, which is checked at least annu-

ally; any changes in amortization policies are reflected on 

a prospective basis. 

Amortization commences when the asset is ready for use.

At  each  reporting  date,  non-financial  assets  are  reviewed 

to  determine  whether  there  is  evidence  of  impairment.  If 

such evidence exists, the recoverable amount of any prop-

erty, plant and equipment and intangible assets is estimat-

ed. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair 

value  less  costs  of  disposal  and  its  value  in  use.  Value  in 

use  is  represented  by  the  present  value  of  the  estimated 

future cash flows generated by the asset in question. Value 

in use is determined by discounting estimated future cash 

flows – calculated on the basis of the most recent business 

plans – using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the cur-

rent market assessment of the time value of money and the 

specific  risks  of  the  asset.  In  determining  the  recoverable 

amount  of  property,  plant  and  equipment,  intangible  as-

sets and goodwill, the Group generally adopts the value in 

use criterion.

The  recoverable  amount  of  assets  that  do  not  generate 

independent  cash  flows  is  determined  based  on  the  cash 

generating unit to which the asset belongs. 

If an asset’s carrying amount or that of the cash generating 

unit  to  which  it  is  allocated  is  higher  than  its  recoverable 

amount,  an  impairment  loss  is  recognized  in  the  income 

statement. 

Impairment losses of cash generating units are first charged 

against the carrying amount of any goodwill attributed to 

it and then against the value of other assets, in proportion 

to their carrying amount. 

If the reasons for a previously recognized impairment loss

Environmental certificates

 > revenues from the sale and transport of electricity and 

Some  Group  companies  are  affected  by  national  regula-

tions  governing  green  certificates  and  white  certificates, 

as well as the European emissions trading system.

Green  certificates  earned  in  respect  of  electricity  gener-

ated  by  renewable  energy  plants  and  white  certificates 

(energy efficiency certificates) earned in respect of energy 

savings  achieved  that  have  been  certified  by  the  compe-

tent  authority  are  treated  as  non-monetary  operating 

grants and are recognized at fair value under other reve-

nues and income, with recognition of an asset under other 

non-financial assets, if the certificates are not yet credited 

to the ownership account, or under inventories, if the cer-

tificates have already been credited to that account.

At the time the certificates are credited to the ownership 

account, their value is reclassified from other assets to in-

ventories. 

In the case of sale, the difference between the sale price 

of those certificates and the carrying amount at the sale 

date is recognized under revenues from sales.

For  the  purposes  of  accounting  for  charges  in  respect  of 

regulatory requirements concerning green and white cer-

tificates and CO2 emissions allowances, the Group uses the 
“net liability approach”. 

Under this treatment, environmental certificates received 

free  of  charge  and  those  earned  as  a  result  of  company 

operations  that  are  to  be  used  to  meet  compliance  re-

quirements are recognized at nominal value (zero). In ad-

dition,  charges  incurred  in  acquiring  certificates  on  the 

market  (or  obtained  for  consideration  of  some  form)  to 

make up any compliance shortfall are recognized through 

profit  or  loss  on  an  accruals  basis  under  other  operating 

expenses, as they represent “system charges” consequent 

upon compliance with a regulatory requirement.

Revenues

the  rates  and  related  restrictions  established  by  law 

or the Authority for Electricity and Gas and analogous 

foreign authorities during the applicable period. In par-

ticular, the authorities that regulate the electricity and 

gas markets can use mechanisms to reduce the impact 

of  the  temporal  mismatching  between  the  setting  of 

prices  for  energy  for  the  regulated  market  as  applied

are recognized on the basis of the progress of the pro-

ject.  The  stage  of  completion  is  determined  as  a  ratio 

between  costs  incurred  at  the  measurement  date  and 

the overall costs expected for the project. In additional 

to contractual payments, project revenues include any 

payments  in  respect  of  variations,  price  revisions  and

158

EnEl   AnnuAl REpoRt 2013 ConsolidAtEd finAnCiAl stAtEmEntsStandards not yet applicable
and not yet adopted

In  2012  and  2013,  the  European  Commission  endorsed  the 

following accounting standards and interpretations, which will 

be applicable to the Group in future years:

 > “IFRS  10  -  Consolidated  financial  statements”,  issued  in 

May  2011;  replaces “SIC  12  -  Consolidation  -  special  pur-

pose  entities”  and,  for  the  part  concerning  consolidated 

financial statements, “IAS 27 - Consolidated and separate 

financial  statements”,  the  title  of  which  was  changed  to 

“Separate financial statements”. The standard introduces a 

new approach to determining whether an entity controls 

another  (the  essential  condition  for  consolidating  an  in-

vestee),  without  modifying  the  consolidation  procedures 

envisaged  in  the  current  IAS  27.  This  approach  must  be 

applied to all investees, including special purpose entities, 

which are called “structured entities” in the new standard. 

While current accounting standards give priority – where 

control does not derive from holding a majority of actual 

or potential voting rights – to an assessment of the risks/

benefits associated with the holding in the investee, IFRS 

10  focuses  the  determination  on  three  elements  to  be 

considered  in  each  assessment:  power  over  the  investee; 

exposure to variable returns from the involvement in the 

investee;  and  the  link  between  power  and  returns,  i.e. 

the  ability  to  use  that  decision-making  power  over  the 

investee to affect the amount of returns. The accounting 

effects  of  a  loss  of  control  or  a  change  in  the  ownership 

interest that does not result in a loss of control are unchan-

ged  with  respect  to  the  provisions  of  the  current  IAS  27.   

The  new  standard  will  take  effect  retrospectively  for  an-

nual  reporting  periods  beginning  on  or  after  January  1, 

2014. The application of the new provisions will not have 

an impact on the Group.

 > “IAS  27  -  Separate  financial  statements”,  issued  in  May 

2011. Together with the issue of IFRS 10 and IFRS 12, the 

current IAS 27 was amended, with changes to its title and 

its  content.  All  provisions  concerning  the  preparation  of 

consolidated  financial  statements  were  eliminated,  whi-

le  the  other  provisions  were  not  modified.  Following  the 

amendment, the standard therefore only specifies the reco-

gnition and measurement criteria and the disclosure requi-

rements for separate financial statements concerning sub-

sidiaries,  joint  ventures  and  associates.  The  new  standard 

will take effect retrospectively for annual reporting periods 

beginning on or after January 1, 2014. The application of 

the new provisions will not have an impact on the Group.

 > “IFRS 11 - Joint arrangements”, issued in May 2011; repla-

ces “IAS 31 - Interests in joint ventures” and “SIC 13 - Jointly 

controlled entities - non-monetary contributions by ventu-

rers”. Unlike IAS 31, which assesses joint arrangements on 

the basis of the contractual form adopted, IFRS 11 assesses 

them  on  the  basis  of  how  the  related  rights  and  obliga-

tions  are  attributed  to  the  parties.  In  particular,  the  new 

standard  identifies  two  types  of  joint  arrangement:  joint 

operations,  where  the  parties  to  the  arrangement  have 

pro-rata  rights  to  the  assets  and  pro-rata  obligations  for 

the  liabilities  relating  to  the  arrangement;  and  joint  ven-

tures, where the parties have rights to a share of the net 

assets  or  profit/loss  of  the  arrangement.  In  the  consoli-

dated  financial  statements,  accounting  for  an  interest  in 

a  joint  operation  involves  the  recognition  of  the  assets/

liabilities  and  revenues/expenses  related  to  the  arrange-

ment  on  the  basis  of  the  associated  rights/obligations, 

without  taking  account  of  the  interest  held.  Accounting 

for an interest in a joint venture involves the recognition 

of an investment accounted for using the equity method 

(proportionate  consolidation  is  no  longer  permitted). 

The new standard will take effect retrospectively for annu-

al reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014.  

The application of the new standard will involve a change 

in the measurement of joint ventures, which will now be 

accounted  for  exclusively  with  the  equity  method.  More 

specifically, while there will be no impact on the net inco-

me and equity of the Group, if IFRS 11 had been adopted 

for  the  purposes  of  preparing  the  consolidated  financial 

statements  at  December  31,  2013,  revenues  for  2013 

would have been about €1,800 million lower, while total 

assets at December 31, 2013 would have been about €700 

million lower.

 > “IAS 28 - Investments in associates and joint ventures”, is-

sued in May 2011. Together with the issue of IFRS 11 and 

IFRS  12,  the  current  IAS  28  was  amended,  with  changes 

to its title and its content. In particular, the new standard, 

which also includes the provisions of “SIC 13 - Jointly con-

trolled entities - non-monetary contributions by venturers”, 

describes the application of the equity method, which in 

consolidated  financial  statements  is  used  to  account  for 

associates and joint ventures. The new standard will take 

effect retrospectively for annual reporting periods begin-

ning on or after January 1, 2014. The future application of 

the new provisions will not have an impact on the Group, 

with  the  exception  of  the  effects  discussed  earlier  of  the 

application of IFRS 11.

Restatement of comparative 
figures at December 31, 2012 

Following the application, as from January 1, 2013 with ret-

rospective effect, of the new version of “IAS 19/R - Employ-

ee benefits”, the main effects on the income statement and 

balance sheet for the previous year are discussed below:

 > as the corridor approach may no longer be used, all actua-

rial gains and losses previously unrecognized at January 1, 

2012 have been recognized directly in equity. Accordingly, 

the amortization accruing in respect of the excess gains and 

losses outside the corridor was eliminated from the income 

statement (€19 million). The restatement of those items led 

to the adjustment of the respective defined-benefit obliga-

tion and the net plan assets recognized in the balance sheet;

 > as  the  recognition  of  past  service  cost  in  the  income  sta-

tement  may  no  longer  be  deferred,  for  employee  bene-

fits already existing at December 31, 2011, the portion of 

the  past  service  cost  not  yet  recognized  was  recognized 

in its entirety in equity at January 1, 2012, increasing the 

employee benefit obligation. For employee benefit plans 

introduced in 2012, the effect of the increase in the asso-

ciated obligation was recognized directly through profit or 

loss for that period. That recognition through profit or loss 

included charges of €932 million for the obligation in re-

spect of the transition-to-retirement plan implemented for 

certain employees in Italy at the end of 2012;

 > in application of the new standard, net interest income on 

plan  assets  is  recognized  in  substitution  of  the  expected 

return on those assets. As a result, that interest is no longer 

presented under financial income but is instead deducted 

from the financial expense of the benefit plans. The impact 

of that change on the restated 2012 income statement for 

the Group was not material.

In all cases, the theoretical tax effects and amounts pertain-

ing to non-controlling interests were also calculated.

In addition, in 2013, the Group adopted a new accounting 

policy  to  standardize  the  recognition  and  presentation  of 

the various types of environmental certificates (CO2 allow-
ances,  green  certificates,  white  certificates).  The  new  ap-

proach is based on the business model of the companies in-

volved in the environmental certificate mechanisms and led 

only  to  a  number  of  reclassifications  in  the  income  state-

ment and consolidated balance sheet.

Finally, as a result of the definitive allocation of the purchase 

prices of the Kafireas pipeline and of Stipa Nayaá and Eólica 

Zopiloapan, companies operating in the Renewable Energy 

Division, which was completed after December 31, 2012, the 

balance-sheet accounts at that date have been restated to 

reflect the fair value adjustment of the assets acquired and 

liabilities assumed in the associated business combinations. 

The  following  tables  reports  the  changes  in  the  income 

statement,  statement  of  comprehensive  income  and  con-

solidated balance sheet following the above amendments, 

including  the  associated  tax  effects.  The  impact  on  the 

consolidated statement of cash flows is limited to a number 

of reclassifications among the various components, in line 

with the figures reported in the balance sheet and income 

statement.

generation  capacity  of  a  combined-cycle  plant  for  which  the 

toller, Elecgas, has undertaken to transform gas into electricity 

in exchange for a toll at a rate of 9.62%. The other lease agree-

ments regard wind plants that the Group uses in France (with 

a  term  of  15  years  expiring  in  2024-2025),  in  Greece  (with  a 

term of 10 years expiring in 2014) and in Italy (with a term of 

18 years expiring in 2029-2031).

In  Latin  America,  the  assets  relate  to  leased  power  transmis-

sion lines and plant (Ralco-Charrúa), with a residual term of 10 

years on the lease at a 6.5% rate, a lease of a combined-cycle 

plant  (Talara)  with  a  term  of  9  years  at  a  fixed  rate  of  5.8%, 

as well as a number of combined cycle plants in Peru (residual 

lease term of three years bearing a floating rate). The leased 

assets in Slovakia essentially relate to the sale and lease back 

agreements  for  the  V1  nuclear  power  plant  at  Jaslovske  Bo-

hunice and the hydroelectric plant at Gabcikovo. The leasing 

arrangements were a necessary condition for the start of the 

privatization of the Slovakian electricity system. The lease for 

the V1 plant covers the entire remaining useful life of the asset 

and the period between the end of generation and the start 

of the decommissioning process, while the lease for the Gab-

cikovo plant has a 30-year term as from April 2006.

Capital  expenditure  on  power  plants  totaled  €3,185  million,  a 

decrease of 350 million on the previous year. This mainly reflects 

lower  investment  in  conventional  thermal  plants  and  nuclear 

power plants in Italy, eastern Europe and Latin America.

These effects were only partially offset by increased investment in 

renewable generation plants by the Renewable Energy Division.

Capital  expenditure  for  the  electricity  distribution  network  to-

taled €2,022 million, a decrease of €760 million over the previ-

ous  year.  The  decrease  is  essentially  attributable  to  a  selective 

approach to work on the medium and low voltage grids in Italy 

and Spain.

The  “change  in  scope  of  consolidation”  for  the  period  mainly 

concerned  the  acquisitions  of  control  of  the  US  companies 

Chisholm View Wind Project and Prairie Rose Wind Project (€499 

million), the acquisition of a 100% stake in Parque Eólico Talinay 

Oriente, a company operating in the wind generation sector in 

Chile (€127 million), and of 50% of PowerCrop, which operates 

in biomass generation in Italy (€10 million). These factors were 

partially offset by the impact of the deconsolidation of the Buf-

falo Dunes Wind Project (€64 million).

“Impairment losses” on property, plant and equipment amount-

ed to €180 million, mainly accounted for by the impairment loss-

es recognized in respect of a number of generation plants and 

fuel storage facilities in view of changes in plans for their future 

use as well as an increase in impairment losses on photovoltaic 

manufacturing facilities in Italy, a number of geothermal plants 

in Nicaragua and a number of specific projects in North America 

and the Iberian peninsula.

Owing  to  the  persistence  of  the  economic  crisis  in  Italy  and  in

Nuclear decommissioning provision  

The nuclear decommissioning provision includes the following: 

 > €2,175 million (€2,511 million at December 31, 2012) for the 

V1 and V2 plants at Jasklovske Bohunice and the EMO 1 and 

2  plants  at  Mochovce,  and  also  includes  the  provision  for 

nuclear waste disposal in the amount of €114 million (same 

amount at December 31, 2012), the provision for spent nu-

clear fuel disposal in the amount of €1,296 million (€1,542 

million at December 31, 2012) and the provision for nuclear 

plant retirement in the amount of €765 million (€855 mil-

lion  at  December  31,  2012).  The  estimated  timing  of  the 

outlays  described  above  takes  account  of  current  knowl-

edge of environmental regulations, the operating time used 

in estimating the costs, and the difficulties presented by the 

extremely long time span over which such costs could arise. 

The charges covered by the provisions are reported at their 

present value using discount rates of between 4.15% and 

4.55%. The net decrease in 2013 amounted to €336 million, 

reflecting the change in the estimates of prices and quanti-

ties of certain types of radioactive waste and a new assess-

ment of the estimated useful lives of certain components of 

the  costs  that  will  be  incurred  at  the  time  of  decommis-

sioning  of  nuclear  plants  by  Enresa,  a  Spanish  public  en-

terprise responsible for such activities in accordance with 

Royal  Decree  1349/03  and  Law  24/2005.  Quantification 

of  the  costs  is  based  on  the  standard  contract  between 

Enresa and the electricity companies approved by the Min-

istry for the Economy in September 2001, which regulates 

the  retirement  and  closing  of  nuclear  power  plants.  The 

time  horizon  envisaged,  three  years,  corresponds  to  the 

period  from  the  termination  of  power  generation  to  the 

transfer of plant management to Enresa (post-operational 

costs).  The  change  for  2013,  recognized  as  a  decrease  in 

the  assets  as  provided  for  under  IFRIC  1,  reflects  regula-

tory  changes  in  Spain  following  the  introduction  of  Law 

16/2013, which modified the mechanism established the 

previous year with Law 15/2012, which had increased the 

burden on generators operating nuclear power plants.

In its ruling 2507/2010 of May 3, 2010, the Council of State

In October 2008, Enel Produzione (which Enel Green Power 

succeeded  as  a  result  of  the  spin-off  of  2008)  undertook 

arbitration  action  before  the  International  Chamber  of 

Commerce  in  Paris,  against  Comisión  Ejecutiva  Hidroeléc-

trica del Río Lempa (“CEL”), wholly owned by the Republic 

of El Salvador, and Inversiones Energéticas SA de Cv (“INE”), 

wholly owned by CEL, for breach of a number of provisions 

of the shareholders’ agreement between Enel Produzione 

and INE of June 4, 2002, regarding the management of La-

Enel  Produzione  the  right  to  finance  the  investments  of 

LaGeo  to  build  geothermal  plants  in  El  Salvador,  treating 

those  payments  as  capital  increases.  The  agreement  also

2008 stock option plan

The  2008  plan  provides  for  the  grant  of  personal,  non-

transferable inter vivos options to subscribe a corresponding 

number of newly issued ordinary Enel shares to senior man-

agers selected by the Board of Directors. The main features 

of the 2008 plan are discussed below.

Beneficiaries

The  beneficiaries  of  the  plan  –  who  include  the  CEO  of 

Enel  is  his  capacity  as  General  Manager  –  comprise  the 

small  number  of  managers  who  represent  the  first  re-

porting  line  of  top  management.  The  head  of  the  Infra-

structure and Networks Division does not participate but 

has received other incentives linked to specific objectives 

regarding the Division’s business area. The exclusion was 

motivated by the obligation for Enel – connected with the 

full  liberalization  of  the  electricity  sector  as  from  July  1, 

2007  –  to  implement  administrative  and  accounting  un-

bundling  so  as  to  separate  the  activities  included  in  the 

Infrastructure  and  Networks  Division  from  those  of  the 

Group’s other business areas. The beneficiaries have been 

divided into two brackets (the first includes only the CEO 

of Enel in his capacity as General Manager) and the basic 

number of options granted to each has been determined 

on the basis of their gross annual compensation and the 

strategic  importance  of  their  positions,  as  well  as  the 

price of Enel shares at the start of the period covered by 

the plan (January 2, 2008). 

net income divided by the number of Enel shares in circula-

tion) for the 2008-2010 period, determined on the basis of 

the amounts specified in the budgets for those years and (ii) 

the  return  on  average  capital  employed  (ROACE,  equal  to 

the ratio between operating income and average net capi-

tal employed) for the 2008-2010 period, also determined on 

the basis of the amounts specified in the budgets for those 

years. Depending on the degree to which the objectives are 

achieved, the number of options that can actually be exer-

cised by each beneficiary is determined on the basis of a per-

formance  scale  established  by  the  Enel  Board  of  Directors 

and may vary up or down with respect to the basic option 

grant by a percentage amount of between 0% and 120%.

Exercise procedures

Once  achievement  of  the  operational  objectives  has  been 

verified, the options can be exercised as from the third year 

after the grant year and up to the sixth year as from the grant 

year. The options can be exercised at any time, with the ex-

ception of two blocking periods lasting about one month be-

fore the approval of the draft annual financial statements of 

Enel SpA and the half-year report by the Board of Directors.

Strike price

The  strike  price  was  originally  set  at  €8.075,  equal  to  the 

reference  price  for  Enel  shares  observed  on  the  electronic 

stock  exchange  of  Borsa  Italiana  on  January  2,  2008.  The 

strike  price  was  modified  by  the  Board  of  Directors  on  July 

9,  2009  –  which  set  it  at  €7.118  –  in  order  to  take  account 

of  the  capital  increase  completed  by  Enel  that  month  and 

the  impact  that  it  had  on  the  market  price  of  Enel  shares.

Payment of a bonus 
connected with the portion 
of the dividends  
attributable to asset 
disposals, to be made in 
conjunction with the exercise 
of stock options

In March 2004, the Board of Directors voted to grant a special 

bonus, beginning in 2004, to the beneficiaries of the various 

stock option plans who exercise the options granted to them, 

establishing that the amount is to be determined each time 

by  the  Board  itself  when  it  adopts  resolutions  concerning 

the allocation of earnings and is based on the portion of the 

“disposal dividends” (as defined below) distributed after the 

granting of the options. 

The rationale underlying this initiative is that the portion of 

dividends  attributable  to  extraordinary  transactions  regard-

ing the disposal of property and/or financial assets (“disposal 

dividends”) should be considered a form of return to share-

holders of part of the value of the Company, and as such ca-

pable of affecting the performance of the shares. 

The  beneficiaries  of  the  bonus  are  thus  the  beneficiaries  of 

the stock option plans who – either because they choose to 

do so or because of the restrictions imposed by the exercise 

conditions or the vesting periods – exercise their options after 

the  ex-dividend  date  of  the “disposal  dividends”  and  there-

fore could be penalized. The bonus is not paid, however, for 

the portion of other kinds of dividends, such as those gener-

ated by ordinary business activities or reimbursements associ-

ated with regulatory measures.

Essentially, when beneficiaries of the stock option plans have 

exercised  the  options  granted  to  them,  as  from  2004  they 

have  been  entitled  to  receive  a  sum  equal  to  the “disposal 

dividends”  distributed  by  Enel  after  the  options  have  been 

granted but before they have been exercised. The bonus will 

be paid by the company of the Group that employs the ben-

eficiary  and  is  subject  to  ordinary  taxation  as  income  from 

employment.

Under  these  rules,  to  date  the  Board  of  Directors  has  ap-

proved: (i) a bonus amounting to €0.08 per option exercised, 

with regard to the dividend (for 2003) of €0.36 per share pay-

able as from June 24, 2004; (ii) a bonus amounting to €0.33

For the first 50% of the basic units granted, in 2008-2009 

the  hurdle  target  for  Group  EBITDA  had  been  achieved 

and Enel shares had slightly outperformed the benchmark 

index,  meaning  that  according  to  the  performance  scale 

100%  of  the  units  originally  granted  had  vested.  For  the 

remaining 50% of the basic grant awarded, in 2008-2010

Enel  shares  significantly  outperformed  the  benchmark  in-

dex, meaning that according to the performance scale an 

amount equal to 120% of the units originally granted had 

vested. In view of the fact that the level of achievement of 

the  performance  targets  over  the  2008-2010  period  was 

higher than that achieved in 2008-2009, it is therefore pos-

sible to recover the units that did not vest in 2008-2009 as 

a  result  of  the  lower  level  of  achievement  of  the  perfor-

mance targets for beneficiaries who had not yet exercised 

the  first  50%  of  the  basic  units  granted  before  achieve-

Glossary

The following glossary defines selected technical terms used in the consolidated financial statements. Unless otherwise speci-

fied, the terms have the following meanings.

Authority for Electricity

The Authority for Electricity and Gas (the Authority) is a formally independent authority 

and Gas

charged  with  fostering  the  development  of  competitive  markets  in  the  electricity  and 

natural gas industries, primarily through the regulation of tariffs, access to networks and 

market operations, as well as safeguarding end users.

Under  the  law  establishing  the  Authority  in  1995,  its  function  is  essentially  that  of 

“guaranteeing the promotion of competition and efficiency in the public utilities sector, 

ensuring  the  uniform  availability  and  distribution  of  services  throughout  the  country, 

establishing  a  transparent  and  reliable  tariff  system  based  on  pre-defined  criteria  and 

promoting the interests of users and consumers”. In pursuing the objective of ensuring 

competitive  markets,  the  Authority  develops  comments  and  recommendations  for  the 

Government and Parliament. It has regulatory powers, sets tariffs (and in particular the 

general system costs component), ensures the publicity and transparency of service terms 

and  conditions,  ensures  equal  access  to  energy  networks,  exercises  quality  control  and 

monitoring powers over service providers and assesses complaints and reports submitted 

by  users  and  consumers.  In  addition,  the  Authority  was  recently  assigned  functions 

concerning the quality, rates and costs of integrated water services, which had originally 

been assigned to the national water regulator and supervisor.

Biomass

Organic  non-fossil  material  of  biological  origin,  part  of  which  can  be  used  to  produce 

energy. The various forms of energy produced from biomass are always renewable, but 

in different ways. They depend on daily or seasonal cycles, the amount of solar radiation, 

changes in climate, agricultural techniques, plant growth cycles and intensive exploitation.

CIP

Interministerial Price Committee.

Combined cycle

Technology used in power generation plants, comprising one or more gas turbine sets 

whose  exhaust  heats  a  boiler,  which  may  also  be  heated  with  an  additional  fuel.  The 

steam produced by the boiler is used to drive a steam turbine coupled with a generator 

(CCGT).

Decommissioning

The phase of deactivation, decontamination and dismantling of plant installations and 

site restoration, The ultimate goal is to achieve: (i) the complete demolition of a nuclear 

power plant; (ii) the removal of  any restriction  imposed by the presence of radioactive 

materials; (iii) the return of the site for other uses.

Distribution

The  transport  and  transformation  of  electricity  on  medium  and  low-voltage  grids  for 

delivery to end users.

Electricity consumption

Electricity consumption for a given period is equal to the sum of electricity invoiced by 

utilities (Enel, municipal electric companies, other companies) and the amount consumed 

by self-generators. It is equal to electricity demand net of grid losses.

288

EnEl   AnnuAl REpoRt 2013AttAchmEntsElectricity demand

The  quantity  of  electricity  to  make  available  on  the  grid.  It  is  equal  to  the  sum  of  user 

consumption and grid losses.

EMO

Energy Markets Operator, the company established by the ESO to operate the financial 

side of the electricity market on a transparent and objective basis, with a view to fostering 

competition among generators and ensuring the availability of adequate reserve capacity.

Enhanced protection service

The supply of electricity on the basis of prices and contractual terms set by the Authority 

for Electricity and Gas. The enhanced protection service serves residential customers and 

small  companies  (those  with  fewer  than  50  employees  and  an  annual  turnover  of  less 

than €10 million with low-voltage supply) that have never changed supplier or who have 

requested to return to the service after having contracted for service on the free market 

with other suppliers (the enhanced protection service conditions also apply to residential 

customers and small companies that find themselves without an electricity supplier).

ESO

Energy Services Operator (formerly GRTN), established pursuant to Article 3 of the Bersani 

Decree,  the  company,  wholly  owned  by  the  Ministry  for  the  Economy  and  Finance,   

distributes  incentives  for  the  generation  of  electricity  from  renewable  and  equivalent 

resources. It also certifies plants and their output as renewable.

European Pressurized Reactor (EPR) The European pressurized water reactor, more commonly referred to as an EPR (European 

Pressurized  Reactor  or  Evolutionary  Power  Reactor),  is  a  generation  III+  nuclear  fission 

reactor in which the core is cooled and the neutrons are moderated with ordinary water 

(sometimes called light water to distinguish it from heavy water).

Generation

The production of electricity, however generated.

Gigawatt or GW

Unit of measure equal to 1 billion watts (1,000 MW).

Gigawatt-hour or GWh 

Unit of measure equal to 1 million Kilowatt-hours.

Green certificates

These  are  the  certificates  provided  for  under  Article  5  of  the  Ministerial  Decree  of 

November 11, 1999, that certify the generation of electricity from renewable resources. 

Green certificates are issued by the ESO for the first fifteen years of operation of a plant 

and can be traded directly or on the market organized by the ESO. Demand is supported 

by the requirement for generation companies and importers to deliver a portion of their 

annual output in the form of power generated from renewable resources.

Gross generation

The total amount of electricity (including that generated subject to pumping) produced 

by all the generator units concerned (primary heat engine and one or more mechanically 

coupled  electricity  generators),  as  measured  at  the  output  terminals  of  the  main 

generators. 

Kilowatt or kW

A unit of measure equal to 1,000 watts.

Kilowatt-hour or kWh

A unit of measure that represents 1,000 watts of electricity supplied or demanded in an 

hour.

Mass-market customers

Residential and micro-business customers.

Megawatt or MW

Unit of measure equal to 1 million watts.

289

Megawatt-hour or MWh

Unit of measure that represents 1,000,000 watts of electricity supplied or demanded in 

an hour.

Micro-business customers

Customers  with  a  VAT  registration  number  with  annual  electricity  consumption  of  less 

than 50,000 kWh.

Natural gas

Gas mainly composed of methane (from 88% to 98%), with the remainder accounted for 

by other hydrocarbons such as ethane, propane, butane, etc.

Net efficient power (in MW)

The  maximum  amount  of  electric  power  that  can  be  continuously  produced  over  a 

sufficiently long given period of operation, assuming that all the parts of the plant are 

functioning, as measured at the point of delivery to the grid; that is, net of the power used 

by the plant itself and the power lost in the transformers required to raise the voltage to 

the grid level. 

Net generation

Gross electricity production net of the electricity used by auxiliary generation services and 

losses in main transformers.

NTN

The  Italian  national  electricity  transmission  network,  composed  of  the  transformer 

stations and high and very-high voltage power lines in Italy.

Power Exchange

The electricity market organized and operated by the ESO through an electronic platform. 

Participants include generation companies, wholesalers, the Single Buyer and certain end 

users. The market equilibrium prices is obtained through the matching of the electricity 

demand of and electricity supply from the participants.

Rating

Assessment  of  the  quality  of  a  company  or  its  issues  of  debt  securities  on  the  basis  of 

the financial soundness of the company and its outlook. The assessment is performed by 

specialized agencies.

Remote meter operation

A system of interconnected electronic meters (also called smart meters) used to implement 

an integrated system for meter reading, communication and management of electricity 

supply  contracts  remotely,  using  the  low-voltage  power  grid  as  the  data  transmission 

infrastructure.

Renewable resources

The sun, wind, water, geothermal resources, tides, waves, biomass and organic waste.

Residential customers

Customers who consume electricity for home use, as defined by Article 2.2, letter A, of 

the Integrated Transport Regulations published by the Authority for Electricity and Gas.

Article 4, paragraph 1 of the Bersani Decree. It is charged with ensuring the availability of 

sufficient electricity to meet the demand of all customers in the “enhanced protection” 

market,  by  purchasing  the  necessary  power  and  selling  it  to  distributors  on  non-

discriminatory terms that enable the application of a single national rate for customers. 

For  this  purpose,  the  Single  Buyer  can  purchase  electricity  on  the  Power  Exchange  or 

through bilateral contracts.

Station

An electricity transformation or switching facility.

290

EnEl   AnnuAl REpoRt 2013AttAchmEntsStranded costs

Costs  generated  by  contractual  commitments  and  investment  decisions  that  electric 

companies  undertook  in  response  to  government  economic  policy  decisions  in  a  non-

competitive market that could have been recovered under a monopoly.

Tax equity partnership

An agreement governed by US tax law, which permits the assignment of the tax benefits 

granted  in  the  United  States  to  companies  that  generate  electricity  from  renewable 

resources  to  a  third-party  entity  (the  so-called  “tax  equity  investor”)  under  certain 

conditions and specific circumstances.
