and General Manager

LETTER TO 
SHAREHOLDERS  
AND OTHER 
STAKEHOLDERS

Dear shareholders and stakeholders,
Last year was marked by an important change in the 
management of the Enel Group, with the election of the 
entire Board of Directors and the appointment of the new 
Chairman in the person of Paolo Scaroni. The Board of 
Directors in turn entrusted the position of Chief Executive 
Officer to Flavio Cattaneo.
The extraordinary events that have impacted the global 
geopolitical and macroeconomic environment have 
generated unprecedented volatility in the energy system 
and wrought structural changes in the energy market.
In this context, our new management has delineated 
the new strategy underpinning the Group’s 2024-
2026 Business Plan, which envisages: (i) the rigorous 
allocation of resources to boost the return on capital 
employed, together with the balancing of risk and return 
in investment decisions and models; (ii) greater efficiency 
and effectiveness in processes and organizational 
structure, seeking to increase accountability and free up 
financial resources to drive the industrial development 

of the Group; and (iii) financial and environmental 
sustainability, confirming our commitments to the energy 
transition and the electrification of energy consumption, 
while ensuring a more balanced and sustainable financial 
structure.
In 2023, Enel confirmed its position as the largest private 
renewable power generator in the world, with 63 GW of 
managed capacity (including our growing and necessary 
battery energy storage capacity) and the largest private 
electricity distribution company at the global level, with 
over 70 million end users served by grids that will have 
to deliver increasing levels of resilience and digitalization 
to support the electrification of energy consumption. 
Furthermore, we have the largest customer base among 
private companies, with some 61 million electricity and 
gas customers.
The Group’s leadership in sustainability has once again 
been recognized worldwide, underscored by its constant 
presence in various major sustainability rankings and 
indices.

The macroeconomic environment

Performance

In 2023, global growth proved more resilient than expect-
ed at the beginning of the year, thanks to a faster-than-ex-
pected reduction in inflation in many economies, support-
ed  by  the  gradual  normalization  of  energy  commodity 
prices and the gradual easing of supply chain bottlenecks. 
Many governments’ energy support programs also helped 
mitigate the impacts of the turbulence on household in-
comes  and  support  productive  activity  in  many  econo-
mies.
However,  the  results  differed  among  countries:  growth 
was solid in the United States, sustained by the recovery in 
public and private spending, and in Latin America, where 
inflation slowed and political and labor market conditions 
improved. Conversely, much of the euro area experienced 
an  abrupt  economic  slowdown,  reflecting  both  the  re-
strictive monetary policy stance adopted by the European 
Central Bank in order to counter inflationary pressures and 
weak  foreign  demand,  also  accompanied  by  challenging 
geopolitical developments in the Middle East.
With regard to the energy industry, in 2023, the Europe-
an gas market displayed a significant downward trend in 
prices, thanks to high levels of storage and declining de-
mand, with the average reduction in TTF (Title Transfer Fa-
cility) prices exceeding 65% compared with 2022, reach-
ing about €35/MWh in the last quarter of 2023. Coal-fired 
generation also declined, primarily discouraged by the rise 
in CO2 prices within the ETS (Emissions Trading System), 
despite  coal  prices  plunging  by  55.5%  to  an  average  of 
$129/ton.
Compared with 2022, electricity prices in Italy and Spain 
fell  sharply,  reflecting  the  decline  in  energy  commodi-
ty  prices  and,  in  part,  growing  renewables  generation. 
More  specifically,  electricity  prices  in  Italy  decreased  by 
58% compared with the previous year, while in Spain they 
dropped by 48%.
In  the  metals  sector,  economic  weakness  adversely  im-
pacted the prices of aluminum and copper, with declines 
of 16.6% and 3.8% respectively compared with 2022. Met-
als associated with renewable energy technologies, such 
as  lithium  and  polysilicon,  experienced  an  even  steeper 
slide in prices as demand contracted.

Thanks to management actions and our focus on the core 
business, the Group closed the 2023 financial year having 
achieved  our  full-year  targets  as  revised  upwards  in  the 
3rd Quarter and announced to the market, with ordinary 
EBITDA of €22.0 billion and an ordinary net profit of €6.5 
billion, up 12% and about 21%, respectively, compared with 
the  previous  year.  The  dividend  that  will  be  proposed  to 
shareholders  for  2023  amounts  to  €0.43  per  share,  7.5% 
higher  than  that  for  2022.  In  terms  of  cash  generation, 
FFO  in  2023  amounted  to  about  €14.8  billion,  up  more 
than 60% compared with 2022. Net debt is equal to €60.2 
billion, with the net debt to ordinary EBITDA ratio improv-
ing from 3.1x to 2.7x. This last indicator does not yet reflect 
the  effects  of  the  proceeds  generated  by  divestments, 
already  announced  to  investors  and  subject  to  binding 
agreements  between  the  parties,  carried  out  in  2023  as 
part of the extraordinary plan to reduce the Group’s finan-
cial debt. Recall that the Plan approved in 2022 to restore 
a sustainable and balanced Group financial structure pro-
vided for the sale of Group investments and other assets 
of over €12 billion in 2023 alone.

Main events

In  2023,  the  Group  confirmed  its  hard-won  technologi-
cal  leadership  in  renewables  generation  and  distribution 
grids.
On  the  power  generation  front,  in  2023  Enel  built  out 
about 5.3 GW of new renewables capacity (including 934 
MW of battery storage), reaching a total of approximately 
63 GW of installed capacity and a volume of renewables 
generation  of  140  TWh/year.  The  capacity  we  operate  is 
also supported by a pipeline of projects in the advanced 
development phase of up to 160 GW.
In  the  power  distribution  segment,  our  strong  commit-
ment  to  modernizing  and  digitalizing  electricity  grids 
continues, both to increase their resilience to increasingly 
extreme  and  frequent  climate  events  and  to  make  them 
ready to play the role of enablers of the energy transition: 
during the year, Enel Grids activated almost 540,000 new

producer  and  prosumer(1)  connections  globally,  adding 
about 8 GW of distributed renewables capacity connect-
ed to our grids, reaching a total of some 68 GW of capac-
ity  from  approximately  2  million  producer  and  prosumer 
connections.
The development of a portfolio of products dedicated to 
residential consumers, businesses and municipalities also 
confirmed the Group’s leading role in fostering the energy 
transition and the electrification of consumption.
In 2023, Enel X Global Retail operated at full capacity with a 
new, more tightly integrated structure to reap the benefits 
of  bundled  packages  of  electricity,  gas,  electric  mobility, 
energy efficiency and ultra-fast connectivity services. An 
example of this is the “Formidabile” offer, launched in Italy 
at the end of October 2023 and in Spain at the beginning 
of 2024. Our commitment to improving the customer ex-
perience  also  continues:  in  2023  commercial  complaints 
decreased by 12%(2) compared with the previous year, and 
in February the German Institute for Quality and Finance 
awarded  Enel  Energia  its  “Nr.  1  in  Service”  quality  seal 
based on customer satisfaction in the electricity and gas 
sector, with a score of 74.2%, well above the category av-
erage of 55.9%.

The  new  Enel  Global  Service  Function,  which  groups  to-
gether  Global  Information  &  Communication  Technolo-
gies,  Global  Procurement,  Global  Customer  Operations 
and  the  newly  established  Workforce  Evolution,  contin-
ued the Group’s digital transformation path, focusing on 
solutions  and  advanced  technologies,  such  as  artificial 
intelligence and quantum computing solutions. Thanks in 
part to the key skills we have developed internally, to date 
we  have  over  500  traditional  and  generative  artificial  in-
telligence applications in operation or in the development 
phase, mainly to support the Generation, Distribution and 
Retail  businesses.  Furthermore,  the  Workforce  Evolution 
unit will promote the evolution of employee skills consis-
tent with these new technological tools and with the stra-
tegic repositioning of the Group, in order to foster greater 
internal control over higher value activities and guarantee 
our  distinctive  positioning  in  the  markets  and  sectors  in 
which the Group is present.
The Group continues to follow the decarbonization road-
map in line with limiting global warming to below 1.5 ºC. In 
2023, absolute direct and indirect greenhouse gas emis-

sions along the Group’s entire value chain, equal to 94.3 
MtCO2eq,  declined  by  26.3%  compared  with  2022,  and 
remain in line with the targets for 2030 and 2040 certified 
by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
The financial instruments employed by the Group are also 
closely  linked  to  sustainability  objectives.  In  2023,  Enel 
Finance  International  NV  issued  euro-denominated  sus-
tainability-linked bonds in the amount of €1.5 billion, us-
ing  multiple  key  performance  indicators  (KPIs)  to  further 
strengthen Enel’s commitment in accelerating the energy 
transition. For the first time, in fact, a tranche of a publicly 
placed  bond  involved  the  combination  of  a  KPI  linked  to 
the  EU  taxonomy  with  a  KPI  linked  to  the  United  Nations 
Sustainable  Development  Goals  (SDGs),  while  the  other 
tranche of the bond was linked to two KPIs associated with 
the Group’s full decarbonization trajectory through the re-
duction of direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions.
These  bond  issues  have  enabled  us  to  achieve  a  ratio 
between  the  sources  of  sustainable  financing  and  the 
Group’s total gross debt of approximately 64%, a level that 
will rise further over the period of the Plan.
In  parallel,  in  order  to  reduce  debt  and  strengthen  the 
Group’s  financial  structure,  our  new  management  team 
has revised the divestment plan referred to earlier with a 
view to portfolio rotation focused on maximizing the value 
of  assets.  In  this  context,  the  Argentine  thermal  genera-
tion companies Enel Generación Costanera SA and Inver-
sora Dock Sud SA were sold during the year, and agree-
ments were signed for the disposal of the Peruvian elec-
tricity distribution and supply company Enel Distribución 
Perú SAA, the advanced energy services company Enel X 
Perú  SAC  and  the  electricity  generator  Enel  Generación 
Perú  SAA.  The  divestment  of  all  the  investments  held  by 
the Group in Romania was also completed. Asset rotation 
transactions were also completed, including the sale of a 
portfolio of photovoltaic plants in Chile (416 MW) and the 
entire  geothermal  portfolio  in  the  United  States,  as  well 
as several small solar plants in that country. Finally, in line 
with the strategy presented to investors on our steward-
ship approach in non-core countries, acting through the 
subsidiary Enel Green Power SpA we completed the sale 
of 50% of the two companies that own all of the Group’s 
renewables operations in Australia to INPEX Corporation, 
while the sale of 50% of Enel Green Power Hellas to Mac-
quarie Asset Management was finalized.

Integrated Annual Report 2023

 
Strategy and forecasts  
for 2024-2026

Short-term  global  uncertainties  have  forced  electricity 
companies to increase their flexibility and improve the vis-
ibility and predictability of prospective returns.
In  this  context,  over  the  2024-2026  Plan  period  the  Enel 
Group plans to focus on:
•  profitability,  flexibility  and  resilience  through  selective 
capital allocation aimed at optimizing the Group’s risk/
return profile;

•  efficiency  and  effectiveness  as  drivers  of  the  Group’s 
operations,  based  on  process  simplification,  a  leaner 
organization  with  defined  responsibilities  and  a  focus 
on  core  geographies  in  which  the  Group  has  an  inte-
grated position (Italy, Spain, Brazil, Chile, Colombia and 
the United States), as well as boosting operational effi-
ciency in order to maximize cash generation and offset 
inflationary pressures and the higher cost of capital;
•  financial and environmental sustainability to pursue val-
ue creation with a balance and solid financial structure, 
addressing the challenges of climate change.

In this scenario, regulated businesses will be at the center 
of  the  Group’s  strategy,  with  a  concentration  of  invest-
ment  in  geographical  areas  with  a  clear  and  predictable 
regulatory  framework  as  well  as  stable  macroeconomic 
environments.  Investment  decisions  on  renewables  will 
be  more  selective,  seeking  to  achieve  a  positioning  that 
maximizes  returns  and  mitigates  risks  at  the  same  time. 
Finally, the Group plans to optimize its customer portfolio 
and  end-to-end  processes,  enhancing  efficiency  in  cus-
tomer acquisition and management, improving customer 
loyalty through bundled offers and promoting the electri-
fication of energy consumption. The generation and retail 
businesses will be managed in a more integrated manner, 
with a flexible approach to sourcing strategies in order to 
maximize profitability along the entire value chain.
In  the  2024-2026  period,  the  Group’s  gross  investments 
will amount to €35.8 billion, of which €18.6 billion will be 
allocated to Grids, €12.1 billion to Renewables and €3 bil-
lion to Customers.
Thanks  to  the  implementation  of  a  less  capital-  and 
risk-intensive  business  model,  investments  will  have  a 
smaller cash requirement, with expected net investments 
of about €26.2 billion thanks to access to European grants 
and financing (up to €3.5 billion) and the use of a diversi-
fied co-investment model for renewables projects (a total 
of about €6.1 billion).
Investments  in  distribution  grids  will  increase  their  ef-
ficiency,  flexibility  and  resilience:  more  than  half  will  be

(4)  Upgrading a plant in order to increase efficiency, capacity and output.

allocated to grid strengthening, remote operation, auto-
mation and digitalization projects in order to deliver high 
standards  of  service  quality  and  reduce  power  losses.  In 
addition  to  managing  assets,  the  remainder  will  be  allo-
cated to expanding hosting capacity(3) to meet customer 
demand for new connections and encourage the integra-
tion of distributed generation from renewable resources, 
all to support the energy transition and the electrification 
of final energy consumption.
Investments in renewables will add 13.4 GW of new capac-
ity, bringing the Group’s total to 73 GW (including energy 
storage  systems)  by  2026,  with  the  share  of  zero-emis-
sions generation growing from 75% to about 86%.
The  push  for  innovation  will  continue  to  be  a  strategic 
driver:  in  generation,  it  will  improve  plant  performance 
through  the  introduction  of  new  technologies  along  the 
entire value chain. The use of repowering(4) and automa-
tion  is  also  expected  to  increase  the  efficiency  of  plants 
and processes, as will testing of new battery technologies 
and  energy  storage  systems,  whose  role  will  be  increas-
ingly important in ensuring the flexibility of electrical sys-
tems. In grids, digitalization, new automation models and 
the introduction of new technologies will enable new ap-
proaches to remuneration.

Finally, the Group will continue to pursue the evolution of 
new  technologies  that  will  mature  over  the  medium  and 
long term, such as hydrogen and new small and modular 
nuclear fission reactors or fusion power.
On  the  environmental  sustainability  front,  the  Group  in-
tends to continue reducing its direct and indirect green-
house gas emissions by achieving the zero-emissions tar-
get for all Scopes by 2040, in line with the Paris Agreement 
and with the 1.5 ºC scenario, as certified by the SBTi.
Group ordinary EBITDA is expected to increase to between 
€23.6  and  24.3  billion  in  2026,  with  a  CAGR  (Compound 
Average Growth Rate) of approximately 5%, while our am-
bition  for  Group  ordinary  profit  is  a  rise  to  between  €7.1 
and 7.3 billion in 2026, with a CAGR of about 6% compared 
with 2023, net of differences in scope.
The  organic  and  structural  path  of  reducing  the  Group’s 
net  debt  will  enable  us  to  achieve  a  ratio  of  net  debt  to 
EBITDA of about 2.3 by 2026, down from over 3 at the end 
of 2022.
Finally,  as  regards  shareholder  remuneration,  the  Group 
has  decided  to  adopt  a  simple  and  attractive  dividend 
policy  with  a  minimum  fixed  DPS  (dividend  per  share)  of 
€0.43 for the 2024-2026 period, with a potential increase 
up to a payout of 70% of ordinary profit if cash neutrality 
is achieved.

BASIS OF 
PRESENTATION

Enel’s approach to corporate reporting

The Integrated Annual Report of the Enel Group, consist-
ing  of  the  Report  on  Operations  inspired  by  integrated 
thinking  and  the  consolidated  financial  statements  pre-
pared  in  accordance  with  the  IFRS/IAS  international  ac-
counting  standards,  represents  the  “core”  document  of 
the  Enel  Group’s  integrated  corporate  reporting  system, 
based  on  the  transparency,  effectiveness  and  account-
ability of information.
The objective of the Enel’s Integrated Annual Report is to 
describe  its  strategic  thinking  and  to  present  its  results 
and the medium- and long-term outlook for an Integrat-
ed Businesses model that in recent years has fostered the 
creation of value in the context of the energy transition.
The  Enel  Group  has  drawn  inspiration  from  the  “Core  & 
More”  reporting  approach,  designing  its  own  corporate 
reporting system at the service of stakeholders in a con-

nected, logical and structured manner and developing its 
own  concept  for  presenting  economic,  social,  environ-
mental  and  governance  information,  in  accordance  with 
specific  regulations,  recommendations  and  international 
best practices.
This “Core Report” seeks to provide a holistic view of the 
Group, its business model and the related medium/long-
term value creation process, including the qualitative and 
quantitative  financial  and  sustainability  information  con-
sidered most relevant on the basis of a materiality assess-
ment that also considers the expectations of stakeholders.
The “More Reports”, on the other hand, include more de-
tailed and additional information, partly in compliance with 
specific regulations, than that provided in the Core Report 
while being cross referenced to the latter.

The Integrated Annual Report and materiality analysis 

As  an  expression  of  integrated  thinking,  the  Integrated 
Annual Report seeks to represent the capacity of the busi-
ness model to create value for stakeholders in the short, 
medium  and  long  term,  ensuring  the  connectivity  of  the 
information it contains.
The  Group  maintains  ongoing  relationships  with  stake-
holders  in  order  to  understand  and  meet  their  reporting 
needs, taking account of the importance of the impact of 
the Group’s business model for all interests involved.
The  financial  and  sustainability  information  presented 
within the various documents of the corporate reporting 
system are selected based on their materiality determined 
on  the  basis  of  specific  frameworks,  methodologies  and 
assessments.
The  following  represent  the  key  principles  underpinning 
the preparation of the Report on Operations, with the ba-
sis of preparation of the consolidated financial statements 
being discussed in the section “Form and content of the 
consolidated financial statements”.
The Report on Operations includes financial and sustain-
ability  information  selected  on  the  basis  of  a  materiality 
analysis  that  takes  account  of  stakeholder  information 
requirements,  including  Enel’s  contribution  to  achieving 
the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 
(i.e.  “Affordable  and  Clean  Energy“  (SDG  7),  “Industry,  In-
novation  and  Infrastructure“  (SDG  9),  “Sustainable  Cities 
and Communities“ (SDG 11) and “Climate Action“ (SDG 13)) 
and  on  the  activities  implemented  to  contribute  to  their 

achievement  in  order  to  meet  the  expectations  of  the 
main stakeholders in the Integrated Annual Report.
The Enel Group also performs a double materiality analysis, 
details on which are available in the Sustainability Report.
In  addition  to  the  concept  of  materiality,  the  qualitative 
and  quantitative  financial  and  sustainability  information 
reported in the Report on Operations have been prepared 
and presented in such a way as to ensure their complete-
ness, accuracy, neutrality and comprehensibility.
The information contained in the Report on Operations is 
also consistent with the previous year.
Accordingly,  the  Group  applies  the  same  methodologies 
from  year  to  year,  unless  otherwise  specified,  in  compli-
ance  with  international  best  practices  for  integrated  re-
porting and sustainability reporting.
For  the  purposes  of  preparing  sustainability  information, 
especially quantitative information, the Group mainly ap-
plies the provisions of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) 
standards,  in  line  with  the  Sustainability  Report,  and  the 
“Aspects” of the GRI supplement dedicated to the Electric 
Utilities sector (“Electric Utilities Sector Disclosures”). Con-
sideration was also given to the indicators proposed in the 
white paper “Toward Common Metrics and Consistent Re-
porting of Sustainable Value Creation” of the World Eco-
nomic Forum (WEF), the details of which are highlighted in 
the section on the WEF and in the “Group Performance” 
chapter of this report.

performance for the year, offering a holistic view 
consistent with Enel΄s integrated and sustainable 
business model

2.

GROUP STRATEGY & RISK 
MANAGEMENT
Founded on a macroeconomic vision, the section provides 
an overview of the Group΄s strategies and the main 
objectives of the Strategic Plan, examining the main risks 
to which the Group is exposed, including risks associated 
with climate change and specific mitigation actions.
It also underscores the opportunities of the business model 
within the current energy transition scenario

Taking account of the results of the priority matrix and the 
significant  climate  impacts  on  the  Group’s  value  creation 
process, each chapter (Governance, Group Strategy & Risk 
Management,  Group  Performance  and  Outlook)  includes 
information  relating  to  climate  change  as  proposed  by  the 
Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD),(5) 
which published specific recommendations in June 2017 that 
were adopted by the Group in its voluntary reporting on the 
financial impacts of climate risks.
The  Group  also  took  account  of  the  recommendations  is-
sued  by  the  IASB  in  November  2019  “IFRS  Standards  and 
climate-related disclosures” and November 2020 “Effects of 
climate-related matters on financial statements”, as updated 
in July 2023 with the issue of the educational material “Effects 
of  climate-related  matters  on  financial  statements”.  These 

recommendations emphasize that climate-related risk must 
be  considered  in  management’s  assumptions  used  in  the 
exercise of its judgment in measuring items in the financial 
statements. 

In  order  to  ensure  the  connectivity  of  information  and  to 
communicate the way in which the progress achieved in sus-
tainability contributes to enhancing current and future finan-
cial performance, clear and consistent relationships between 
key financial and sustainability information have been identi-
fied and presented in the Report on Operations for each of 
the four sections indicated above.
In  addition,  Enel’s  Integrated  Annual  Report  has  been  pub-
lished  in  the  “Investors”  section  of  the  Enel  website  (www.
enel.com).

Connectivity matrix

In  order  to  provide  an  integrated  representation  of  the 
Group and represent the connectivity of information, the 
Enel Group has prepared a matrix delineating the relation-

ships  between  the  governance,  Group  strategy  and  risk 
management,  Group  performance  and  the  outlook  for 
each business line.

(5) 

In 2023, the Financial Stability Board announced that the work of the TCFD was completed with the issue of international sustainability reporting standards 
IFRS S1 and IFRS S2, which were published at the end of June 2023 by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB).

REPORT
ON OPERATIONS

1.
ENEL  
GROUP

	● Technological leadership 

In 2023, the Group confirmed its hard-won technological leadership 
in renewables generation and distribution grids.

On the power generation front, in 2023 Enel built out about 5.3 GW 
of new renewables capacity (including 934 MW of battery storage), 
reaching a total of approximately 63 GW of installed capacity and a 
volume of renewables generation of 140 TWh/year.

In the power distribution segment, our strong commitment to 
modernizing and digitalizing electricity grids continues, both to 
increase their resilience to increasingly extreme and frequent 
climate events and to make them ready to play the role of enablers 
of the energy transition.

	● The value creation process

The integrated presentation of financial and sustainability 
information makes it possible to effectively communicate the 
business model and the value creation process both in terms of 
results and the short- and medium/long-term outlook.

	● Business model

Enel’s business model is conceived to maximize long-term value 
creation for all stakeholders through the achievement of Group 
growth, development and efficiency objectives while at the same 
time minimizing business risks.

In order to fully benefit from all the opportunities emerging in the 
market environment in which it operates, the Group has identified 
three different business models (Ownership, Partnership and 
Stewardship) it can deploy depending on the geographical area and 
expected return.

In order to facilitate analysis of developments in Group net fi nancial debt, thereby ensuring greater comparability over time, management has decided to 
exclude the fair value of the cash fl ow hedge and fair value hedge derivatives used to hedge the exchange rate risk on loans. Accordingly, in order to improve 
the comparability of the fi gures, it was necessary to recalculate net fi nancial debt at December 31, 2022.
In order to improve presentation, for comparative purposes only, realized fi nancial income and expense connected solely with borrowings have been reclas-
sifi ed from “Collections/(Payments) associated with derivatives connected with borrowings” in the section on cash fl ows from fi nancing activities to the items 
“Interest income and other fi nancial income collected” and “Interest expense and other fi nancial expense paid” included in cash fl ows from operating activities.

VALUE CREATION  
AND THE BUSINESS 
MODEL

The value creation process 

The integrated presentation of financial and sustainability 
information makes it possible to effectively communicate 
the business model and the value creation process both 
in terms of results and the short- and medium/long-term 
outlook.  The  management  of  economic,  environmental 
and  social  aspects  is  increasingly  significant  in  terms  of 

assessing the ability to create value for stakeholders. 
The  following  graphical  representation  summarizes  the 
value chain of the Enel Group: the main inputs used, how 
they are transformed into outcomes and value created for 
stakeholders.

Business model

Enel’s business model is conceived to maximize long-term 
value  creation  for  all  stakeholders  through  the  achieve-
ment of Group growth, development and efficiency objec-
tives while at the same time minimizing business risks.
The  Enel  business  model  is  structured  along  the  entire 
value  chain  through  global  business  lines  for  generation 
(Enel  Green  Power  and  Thermal  Generation),  commodi-
ty  portfolio  management  (Global  Energy  and  Commodity 
Management),  distribution  (Enel  Grids  and  Innovability) 
and customer sales (Enel X Global Retail), supported by the 
Global Service Function and Staff Functions.
The  current  mission  of  each  global  business  line  can  be 
summarized as follows:
•  Enel  Green  Power  and  Thermal  Generation  is  en-
gaged in the generation of electricity from renewables 
(through Enel Green Power) and conventional sources, 
seeking  to  accelerate  the  energy  transition  and  man-
aging the path of decarbonization;

•  Global  Energy  and  Commodity  Management  operates 
in wholesale physical and financial markets for energy 
commodities  (electricity,  gas,  emissions,  oil  and  many 
others)  and  manages  the  Group’s  integrated  portfolio 
through  hedging  with  complex  products  in  order  to 
mitigate the risks of international commodity trading;
•  Enel Grids and Innovability is a world leader in electricity 
distribution,  ensures  the  supply  of  electricity  through 
increasingly efficient grids that are ever more resilient 
and  secure  against  extreme  and  adverse  events  and 
more flexible thanks to enabling new business models 
for DSOs (distribution system operators).
In line with these objectives, Enel Grids’ innovation effort 
has  focused  on  resilience,  operational  excellence  and 
security, seeking advanced solutions that can guaran-
tee  and  improve  an  increasingly  safe  environment  for 
workers and generate a positive and sustainable impact 
on the business;

•  Enel X Global Retail operates in the supply of electrici-
ty, energy management services and public and private 
electric mobility, with a portfolio of value-added prod-
ucts and services to encourage more independent and 
sustainable use of energy.
Enel  X  Global  Retail  offers  innovative  solutions  to  im-
prove people’s lives, focusing on residential consumers, 

companies and government entities with modular and 
integrated  offers  built  around  customer  needs,  pro-
moting  the  digitalization  and  electrification  of  energy 
use and transport as drivers to create new value.

By  exploiting  the  synergies  between  the  different  busi-
ness areas and implementing actions through the lever of 
innovation, the Enel Group seeks to develop solutions to 
drive sustainable progress, reduce environmental impact, 
meet the needs of customers and the local communities 
in which it operates and ensure high safety standards for 
employees and suppliers.

In order to fully benefit from all the opportunities emerging 
in the market environment in which it operates, the Group 
has identified three different business models (Ownership, 
Partnership and Stewardship) it can deploy depending on 
the geographical area and expected return: 
•  the  Ownership  business  model,  in  which  the  Group 
makes  direct  investments  in  renewables,  grids  and 
customers, benefitting from the financial performance 
generated by the continuous use of the assets involved. 
This model is mainly employed in countries where the 
entire value chain can already be leveraged, from gen-
eration to relationships with end users, especially where 
expected returns are the highest;

•  the  Partnership  business  model,  in  which  the  Group 
makes investments with a partner in order to lower its 
exposure  to  the  risks  associated  with  the  assets  in-
volved,  while  maintaining  control  and  maximizing  the 
productivity and flexibility of the capital employed;
•  the  Stewardship  business  model,  in  which  the  Group 
invests in existing or new joint ventures and acquires or 
maintains  minority  stakes,  benefitting  from  the  devel-
opment of the assets. This model will further enhance 
financial  flexibility  while  significantly  reducing  the  risk 
exposure  of  capital,  increasing  returns.  Three  geo-
graphical areas (Italy, Iberia and Rest of the World) are 
incorporated  into  this  approach,  each  of  which  oper-
ates in its area in a matrix relationship with the broad-
er and more global business lines, managing activities 
such as relations with local communities, regulation and 
local communication, while ensuring the integration of 
the business lines present in the country involved.

THE ENEL  
CORPORATE 
GOVERNANCE  
SYSTEM 

The corporate governance system of Enel SpA (“Enel” or 
the “Company”) is compliant with the principles set forth 
in  the  edition  of  the  Italian  Corporate  Governance  Code 
published on January 31, 2021,(6) adopted by the Company 
as a “large company” without “concentrated ownership“,(7) 
and with international best practice. The corporate gover-
nance system adopted by Enel is aimed at achieving sus-
tainable  success,  as  it  is  aimed  at  creating  value  for  the 

shareholders over the long term, taking into account the 
environmental and social importance of the Enel Group’s 
business  operations  and  the  consequent  need,  in  con-
ducting  such  operations,  to  adequately  consider  the  in-
terests of all relevant stakeholders.
In compliance with Italian legislation governing listed com-
panies, the Group’s organization comprises the following 
bodies:

plurality of shareholders which participates in a shareholders’ voting agreement) holds, directly or indirectly (through subsidiaries, trustees or third parties), 
the majority of the votes that can be exercised in the ordinary shareholders’ meeting.

•  the approval of the financial statements and the allocation of profit;
•  the purchase and sale of treasury shares;
•  remuneration policy and its implementation;
•  share ownership plans;
•  amendments to the bylaws;
•  mergers and demergers;
•  the issue of convertible bonds.

•  It is vested by the bylaws with the broadest powers for the ordinary and extraordinary manage-
ment of the Company and has the power to carry out all the actions it deems advisable to imple-
ment and achieve the corporate purpose.

•  It  plays  a  central  role  in  corporate  governance,  holds  powers  for  strategic  and  organizational 
guidance  and  control  of  the  Company  and  the  Group,  whose  sustainable  success  it  pursues. 
In this context, it examines and approves corporate strategy, including the annual budget and 
Business Plan (which incorporate the main objectives and planned actions, including with regard 
to sustainability,(8) to lead the energy transition and tackle climate change), taking account of the 
analysis of key issues for the generation of long-term value and therefore promoting a sustain-
able business model.

•  It also performs a policy-setting role and assesses the adequacy of the internal control and risk 
management system (ICRMS). More specifically, it determines the nature and level of risk com-
patible with the strategic objectives of the Company and the Group, incorporating in its assess-
ments all factors that could be relevant to achieving the sustainable success of the Company. The 
ICRMS consists of the set of rules, procedures and organizational structures designed to enable 
the  effective  identification,  measurement,  management  and  monitoring  of  the  main  business 
risks to which the Group is exposed. These include the risks associated with climate change and, 
more generally, the risks that the Group’s activities may engender in the areas of the environ-
ment, society, personnel and respect for human rights. 

•  It determines the remuneration policy for directors, statutory auditors and key management per-
sonnel with a view to pursuing the Company’s sustainable success, taking due account of the 
need to have, retain and motivate people with the skills and expertise required by the positions 
they hold, submitting this policy for approval by the Shareholders’ Meeting.

•  Activities performed in 2023 included addressing climate-related issues on the occasion of (i) the 
examination and approval of the Business Plan of the Company and the Group; (ii) the determina-
tion of Enel’s remuneration policy for 2023; (iii) the examination of the 2022 Sustainability Report, 
which  incorporates  the  Consolidated  Non-Financial  Statement  pursuant  to  Legislative  Decree 
254/2016 for the same year. In addition, it discussed climate- and environment-related issues 
as part of the analysis of transactions connected with decarbonization strategy and sustainable 
finance, as well as in relation to its engagement with investors. Finally, on the occasion of extreme 
climate events, the Board of Directors received extensive reporting on the immediate counter-
measures adopted, as well as on any need for infrastructure adaptation measures to respond to 
the changed context.

•  With regard to enhancing gender diversity, it agreed on the introduction of a performance ob-
jective in the 2023 Long-Term Incentive Plan, represented by the percentage of women in top 
management succession plans at the end of 2025. 

•  Finally, the Board of Directors received updates on cyber security and safety-related issues and 
human rights activities in the countries in which the Group operates, as well as timely information 
on developments in and the substance of the various forms of investor engagement.

odic financial and non-financial reports. In particular, it issues its prior opinion to the Board of Directors, 
inter alia: (i) on the guidelines of the ICRMS, so that the main risks concerning Enel and its subsidiaries 
– including the various risks that may be relevant from the perspective of sustainable success – are 
correctly identified and adequately measured, managed and monitored; (ii) on the degree of compat-
ibility of the risks referred to in point (i) above with company operations consistent with the strategic

cerning the reduction of specific greenhouse gas emissions, consistent with the Group’s decarbon-
ization strategy, which provides for the progressive reduction of such emissions in line with the Paris 
Agreement. As regards the short-term variable component of the remuneration of the Chief Executive 
Officer/General Manager, 2023 remuneration policy is linked, among other things, to (i) a performance 
objective for preserving workplace safety, as well as (ii) a performance objective measuring the level of 
customer satisfaction through the annual number of commercial complaints filed at the Group level, 
with the latter objective being associated with two gate objectives(9) for the number of commercial 
complaints filed in the free commodity market in Italy and for the average annual duration of service 
interruptions for low-voltage customers (System Average Interruption Duration Index - SAIDI).

•  The Chairman acts as a liaison between the executive directors and the non-executive directors 
and, with the support of the Secretary of the Board of Directors, is responsible for the effective 
operation of the Board. More specifically, the Chairman, with the support of the Board Secretary, is 
responsible, among other things, for ensuring: 
 – that  information  provided  before  Board  meetings  and  supplementary  information  provided 
during meetings enables the directors to act in an informed manner in the performance of their 
duties; and

 – that the activity of the Board committees is coordinated with that of the Board of Directors. 
•  The Chairman ensures that the Board of Directors is informed in a timely manner on developments 

in and the substance of engagement activities with all shareholders.
•  The Chairman ascertains that the Board’s resolutions are carried out.
•  Pursuant to a Board resolution of May 12, 2023, the Chairman has been vested with a number of 

additional non-executive powers.

•  In the exercise of the function of stimulating and coordinating the activities of the Board of Direc-
tors, the Chairman plays a proactive role in the process of approving and monitoring of corporate 
and sustainability strategies, which are sharply focused on the decarbonization and electrification 
of energy consumption. 

•  During 2023, the Chairman also chaired the Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee.

•  Like the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the CEO is vested by the bylaws with the powers to 
represent the Company and to sign on its behalf, and in addition is vested by a Board resolution 
of May 12, 2023 with all powers for managing the Company, with the exception of those that are 
otherwise assigned by law, regulation or the bylaws or that the aforesaid resolution reserves for 
the Board of Directors (making the Chief Executive Officer the officer with primary responsibility 
for managing the Company). 

•  In the exercise of these powers, the CEO has defined a sustainable business model, delineating a 
strategy to lead the energy transition towards a low-carbon model. The CEO is also responsible 
for managing the business activities connected with Enel’s efforts in combatting climate change.
•  The CEO reports to the Board of Directors on the activities performed in the exercise of the powers 
granted  to  him,  including  business  activities  to  maintain  Enel’s  commitment  to  address  climate 
change. 

•  The  CEO  represents  Enel  in  various  initiatives  that  deal  with  sustainability,  holding  positions  of 
leadership in international institutions such as the Global Investors for Sustainable Development 
(GISD) Alliance launched by the United Nations in 2019.

•  As  the  officer  with  primary  responsibility  for  managing  the  Company,  the  CEO  has  primary  au-
thority for engaging with institutional investors, providing them with any appropriate clarification 
concerning matters that fall within the scope of the Chairman’s management powers, in line with 
the policy for engaging with institutional investors and with Enel’s shareholders and bondholders 
as a whole.

•   The CEO has also been designated as the director responsible for establishing and maintaining 

the ICRMS.

Statutory audit of 
the accounts

•  The statutory audit is performed by a specialized firm entered in the appropriate register of auditors, 
which is appointed by the Shareholders’ Meeting on the basis of a reasoned proposal from the Board 
of Statutory Auditors.

Good corporate 
governance 
practices

•  Following the appointment of the Board of Directors by the ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of May 
10, 2023 and taking account of the election of an entirely new Board, Enel organized a specific in-
duction program to provide the directors with an understanding of the sectors in which the Group 
operates, as well as insight into company dynamics and their evolution, market developments and 
the applicable regulatory framework. Various induction initiatives were therefore held during 2023, 
focusing on the corporate governance system of the Company and the Group, the electrical sys-
tem and power generation, as well as closer analyses of certain business lines and the People and 
Organization Staff Function.

•  At the end of 2023 and during the first two months of 2024, the Board of Directors carried out, with 
the assistance of a specialized independent advisor, an assessment of the size, composition and 
functioning of the Board and its committees (the “board review”), in line with the most advanced 
corporate governance practices accepted at the international level and incorporated within the 
Corporate  Governance  Code.  The  board  review  was  also  carried  out  using  a  “peer  review”  ap-
proach, i.e. evaluating not only the operation of the body as a whole, but also the style and sub-
stance of the contribution made by each of its members, and it was extended to include the Board 
of Statutory Auditors. Among other issues, the board review also specifically sought to verify the 
directors’ perception of (i) the effectiveness of induction activities and (ii) the Board’s involvement 
with sustainability issues and their integration into corporate strategy, including climate change 
issues. The findings of the board review are reported in Enel’s Report on Corporate Governance 
and Ownership Structure.

•  The Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors have approved, each within their own 
sphere of competence, specific diversity policies that set out the characteristics considered op-
timal  for  the  members  of  these  bodies,  so  that  each  can  exercise  their  duties  most  effectively, 
taking decisions that can effectively draw on the contribution of a plurality of qualified points of 
view, able to examine the issues under discussion from different perspectives. The policy approved 
by the Board of Directors establishes that with regard to the types of diversity and the associated 
objectives:
 – the optimal composition of Board members should provide for a majority of independent di-

rectors;

 – even when the regulatory provisions on gender balance expire, it is important to continue to 
ensure that at least one-third of the Board of Directors, both at the time of appointment and 
during its term of office, shall be made up of directors of the least represented gender;

 – the international scope of the Group’s activities should be taken into consideration, ensuring 
that at least one-third of directors should have adequate experience in the international arena, 
which is also considered useful for preventing the standardization of opinions and the emer-
gence of “group thought”;

 – in order to achieve a balance between the need for continuity and renewal in management, it 
would be necessary to ensure a balanced combination of people of differing seniority – and 
age – within the Board of Directors;

 – non-executive directors should have a management and/or professional and/or academic and/
or  institutional  background  such  as  to  create  a  diverse  and  complementary  set  of  skills  and 
experience;

 – in view of the differences in their roles, the Chairman and the CEO should have the appropriate 
skills (specifically indicated in the policy) for the effective performance of their respective duties.

The Enel corporate governance system 

39

•  In July 2015 the Board of Directors also approved (and subsequently amended in February 2019) a 
number of recommendations aimed at strengthening the corporate governance of Enel subsid-
iaries with shares listed on regulated markets and at the same time ensuring the implementation 
of local best practices in this area by those companies. Among other issues, these recommenda-
tions concern the composition of the management body, with regard to which it is also suggested 
to integrate a diversity of professional and management experience and skills, combined, where 
possible, with a diversity of gender, age and seniority, without prejudice to the provisions of appli-
cable local legislation.

•  In order to regulate the procedures for the Company’s engagement with institutional investors and 
with its shareholders and bondholders as a whole, in March 2021 the Board of Directors adopted, 
acting on a proposal from the Chairman formulated in agreement with the Chief Executive Officer, 
a specific policy in this area (the “Engagement Policy”). It largely incorporates the practices already 
followed by Enel to ensure that this dialogue is based on principles of fairness and transparency 
and takes place in compliance with EU and national regulations concerning market abuse, as well 
as in line with international best practices. In drawing up the Engagement Policy, which was con-
sistently applied during 2023, the best practices adopted in this field by institutional investors and 
reflected in “Stewardship” codes were taken into account.

For  more  detailed  information  on  the  corporate  gover-
nance system, please see the Report on Corporate Gov-
ernance and Ownership Structure of Enel, which has been 

published  on  the  Company’s  website  (http://www.enel.
com, in the “Governance” section).

Enel organizational model

41

The  Enel  Group  structure  is  organized  into  a  matrix  that 
comprises:

Global Business 
Lines

Global Business Lines, which are responsible for managing and developing assets, optimizing their 
performance  and  the  return  on  capital  employed  in  the  various  geographical  areas  in  which  the 
Group operates. In compliance with safety, protection and environmental policies and regulations, 
they  are  tasked  with  maximizing  the  efficiency  of  the  processes  they  manage  and  applying  best 
international practices, sharing responsibility for EBITDA, cash flows and revenue with the countries.
The Group, which also draws on the work of an Investment Committee,(10) benefits from a centralized 
industrial vision of projects in the various business lines. Each project is assessed not only on the 
basis of its financial return but also in relation to the best technologies available at the Group level. 
Furthermore, each business line contributes to guiding Enel’s leadership in the energy transition and 
in the fight against climate change, managing the associated risks and opportunities in its area of 
competence. 
The following provides a brief summary of the primary objectives of each Global Business Line:
•  Enel Grids and Innovability: ensures the reliability and quality of electricity supply services through 
efficient, resilient and digital grids; promotes, harmonizes and coordinates innovation and sustain-
ability processes, supporting operations in the Global Business Lines and Countries.

•  Global Energy and Commodity Management and Chief Pricing Officer: optimizes the Group’s mar-
gin through the active management of its hedging strategy and exposure to commodity risk, taking 
account of all commercial/market factors in order to maximize the integrated margin in the markets 
in which we operate through the optimization of gas and fuel provisioning, and local dispatching of 
thermal and renewable generation, while supporting Enel X Global Retail in defining the commercial 
strategy.

•  Enel Green Power and Thermal Generation: provides guidance for a rapid and effective energy tran-
sition,  growing  the  portfolio  of  renewable  generation  facilities,  and  manages  the  corresponding 
evolution of thermal generation and storage assets with a view to decarbonizing our energy mix in 
order to meet the needs of customers in all the countries in which we operate.

•  Enel X Global Retail: defines the commercial strategy and manages the customer product range for 
energy, products and services, including electric mobility, ensuring compliance with safety, protec-
tion and environmental regulations, maximizing value for the customer and operational efficiency, 
and supporting margin optimization with Global Energy and Commodity Management. 

Region and 
Countries

The Region and Countries are responsible for managing relationships with institutional bodies and 
regulatory authorities, as well as handling distribution and electricity and gas sales, in their areas, 
while also providing staff and other service support to the business lines. They are also charged with 
promoting decarbonization and guiding the energy transition towards a low-carbon business mod-
el within their areas of responsibility.

The following functions provide support to Enel’s business operations:

Global Service 
Function 

The Global Service Function is responsible for managing information and communication technol-
ogy activities, procurement at the Group level and managing global customer relationship activities.
The Global Service Function is also focused on the responsible adoption of measures that allow the 
achievement of sustainable development objectives, in the specific in managing the supply chain 
and developing digital solutions to support the development of enabling technologies for the ener-
gy transition and the fight against climate change.

Holding Company 
Staff Functions 

The Holding Company Staff Functions are responsible for managing governance processes at the 
Group  level.  More  specifically,  the  Administration,  Finance  and  Control  Function  is  also  responsi-
ble for consolidating scenario analysis and managing the strategic and financial planning process 
aimed among other things at promoting the decarbonization of the energy mix and the electrifica-
tion of energy demand, key actions in the fight against climate change.

(10)  The Group Investment Committee is made up of the heads of Administration, Finance and Control, Innovability, Legal, Corporate, Regulatory and Antitrust 

Affairs, Global Procurement, and the heads of the Geographical Areas and the Business Lines.

INCENTIVE  
SYSTEM 

Enel’s remuneration policy for 2023, which was adopted 
by  the  Board  of  Directors  acting  on  a  proposal  of  the 
Nomination  and  Compensation  Committee  and  ap-
proved  by  the  Shareholders’  Meeting  of  May  10,  2023, 
was formulated on the basis of (i) the recommendations 
of  the  Italian  Corporate  Governance  Code  published 
on January 31, 2020; (ii) national and international best 
practice;  (iii)  the  guidance  provided  by  the  favorable 
vote  of  the  Shareholders’  Meeting  of  May  19,  2022  on 
the remuneration policy for 2022; (iv) the results of the 
engagement  activity  on  corporate  governance  issues 
pursued by the Company between January and February 
2023  with  the  leading  proxy  advisors  and  some  Enel’s 
relevant  institutional  investors;  (v)  the  findings  of  the 
benchmark  analysis  of  the  remuneration  of  the  Chair-
man of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Of-
ficer/General Manager and the non-executive directors 
of Enel for 2022, which was performed by the indepen-
dent consultant Mercer. 
This  policy  is  intended  to  (i)  foster  Enel’s  sustainable 
success,  which  takes  the  form  of  creating  long-term 
value  for  the  benefit  of  shareholders,  taking  due  con-
sideration of the interests of other key stakeholders, so 
as  to  incentivize  the  achievement  of  strategic  objec-
tives; (ii) attract, retain and motivate personnel with the 
professional skills and experience required by the sen-
sitive  managerial  duties  entrusted  to  them,  taking  into 
account  the  remuneration  and  working  conditions  of 
the employees of the Company and the Enel Group; and 
(iii) promote the corporate mission and values.
The 2023 remuneration policy adopted for the Chief Ex-
ecutive Officer/General Manager and key management 
personnel envisages:
•  a fixed component;
•  a  short-term  variable  component  (MBO)  that  will  be 
paid out on the basis of achievement of specific per-
formance objectives. Namely: 
 – for  the  CEO/General  Manager,  annual  objectives 
have been set for the following components of the 
2023 MBO mechanism: 
•  consolidated net ordinary profit;
•  funds  from  operations/consolidated  net  financial 

debt;

•  commercial complaints received at the Group lev-
el,  accompanied  by  the  following  gate  objectives: 
(i)  System  Average  Interruption  Duration  Index  - 
SAIDI; (ii) commercial complaints on the free com-
modity market in Italy;

•  workplace injury frequency rate, accompanied by a 

gate objective represented by fatal injuries;

 – for key management personnel, the respective MBOs 
identify objective and specific annual goals connect-
ed with the Strategic Plan. They are determined joint-
ly by the Administration, Finance and Control Func-
tion and the People and Organization Function;  
•  a long-term variable component linked to participation 
in  specific  long-term  incentive  plans.  In  particular,  for 
2023  this  component  is  linked  to  participation  in  the 
2023  Long-Term  Incentive  Plan  for  the  management 
of  Enel  SpA  and/or  its  subsidiaries  pursuant  to  Article 
2359 of the Italian Civil Code (2023 LTI Plan), which es-
tablishes  three-year  performance  targets  for  the  fol-
lowing:
 – Enel’s  average  TSR  (Total  Shareholder  Return)  com-
pared with the average TSR for the EURO STOXX Util-
ities - EMU index for the 2023-2025 period;

 – ROIC (Return on Invested Capital) - WACC (Weighted 
Average Cost of Capital), cumulative for 2023-2025;
 – intensity  of  Scope  1  and  Scope  3  GHG  emissions 
related  to  the  Group’s  Integrated  Power  operations 
(gCO2eq/kWh)  in  2025,  accompanied  by  a  gate  ob-
jective represented by the intensity of Scope 1 GHG 
emissions  related  to  the  Group’s  power  generation 
(gCO2eq/kWh) in 2025;

 – percentage  of  women  in  top  management  succes-

sion plans at the end of 2025. 

The  2023  LTI  Plan  establishes  that  any  bonus  accrued  is 
represented by an equity component, which can be sup-
plemented – depending on the level of achievement of the 
various targets – by a cash component. More specifically, 
of the total incentive vested, the 2023 LTI Plan establishes 
that: (i) for the CEO/General Manager of Enel, the incen-
tive shall be paid entirely in Enel shares up to 150% of the 
base value; (ii) for managers reporting directly to the CEO/
General Manager of Enel, including key management per-

Incentive system 

43

sonnel, the incentive shall be paid entirely in Enel shares up 
to 100% of the base value; and (iii) for beneficiaries other 
than those specified under (i) and (ii), the incentive shall be 
paid  entirely  in  Enel  shares  up  to  65%  of  the  base  value. 
The 2023 LTI Plan provides that the shares to be disbursed 
pursuant to the latter provisions shall be purchased previ-
ously by Enel and/or its subsidiaries. In addition, the dis-
bursement  of  a  significant  portion  of  long-term  variable 

remuneration (70% of the total) is deferred to the second 
year following the three-year performance period covered 
by the 2023 LTI Plan.
For more information on the remuneration policy for 2023, 
please  see  Enel’s  “Report  on  the  remuneration  policy  for 
2023  and  compensation  paid  in  2022”,  which  is  available 
on the Company’s website (www.enel.com).

VALUES AND PILLARS 
OF CORPORATE ETHICS

A robust system of ethics underlies all activities of the Enel 
Group. This system is embodied in a dynamic set of rules 
constantly oriented towards incorporating national and in-
ternational best practices that everyone who works for and 
with  Enel  must  respect  and  apply  in  their  daily  activities. 
The system is based on specific compliance programs, in-

cluding: the Code of Ethics, the Compliance Model under 
Legislative Decree 231/2001, the Enel Global Compliance 
Program,  the  “Zero-Tolerance-of-Corruption”  Plan,  the 
Human  Rights  Policy,  and  any  other  national  compliance 
models adopted by Group companies in accordance with 
local laws and regulations.

Code of Ethics 

In 2002, Enel adopted a Code of Ethics,(11) which expresses 
the  Company’s  ethical  responsibilities  and  commitments 
in  conducting  its  affairs  and  operations,  governing  and 
standardizing  corporate  conduct  on  the  basis  of  stan-
dards  aimed  to  ensure  the  maximum  transparency  and 
fairness with all stakeholders. The Code of Ethics is valid 
for  the  whole  Group,  taking  due  account  of  the  cultural, 
social and economic diversity of the various countries in 
which  Enel  operates.  Enel  also  requires  that  all  suppliers 

and partners adopt conduct that is in line with the general 
principles set out in the Code. Any violations or suspected 
violations of Enel Compliance Programs can be reported, 
including in anonymous form, through a single Group-lev-
el platform (the “Ethics Point”). 
The  following  table  indicates  total  violation  reports  re-
ceived  through  the  whistleblowing  platform  and  actual 
violations confirmed.

number of confirmed violations for 2022 was restated from 29 to 34. Among the five additional violations, one is attributable to a case of conflict of interest 
in Brazil.

Compliance Model under Legislative Decree 231/2001

Legislative Decree 231 of June 8, 2001 introduced into Ital-
ian  law  a  system  of  administrative  liability  for  companies 
for certain types of offenses committed by their directors, 
managers or employees on behalf of or to the benefit of 
the  company.  Enel  was  the  first  organization  in  Italy  to 

adopt,  back  in  2002,  this  sort  of  compliance  model  that 
met the requirements of Legislative Decree 231/2001 (also 
known as “Model 231”). It has been constantly updated to 
reflect developments in the applicable regulatory frame-
work and current organizational arrangements.

(11)  Most recently updated in February 2021.

Values and pillars of corporate ethics

45

Enel Global Compliance Program (EGCP)

The Enel Global Compliance Program for the Group’s for-
eign companies was approved by Enel in September 2016. 
It is a governance mechanism aimed at strengthening the 
Group’s ethical and professional commitment to prevent-
ing  the  commission  of  crimes  abroad  that  could  result 
in  criminal  liability  for  the  company  and  do  harm  to  our 
reputation.  Identification  of  the  types  of  crime  covered 

by the Enel Global Compliance Program – which encom-
passes standards of conduct and areas to be monitored 
for preventive purposes – is based on illicit conduct that is 
generally considered such in most countries, such as cor-
ruption, crimes against the government, false accounting, 
money  laundering,  violations  of  regulations  governing 
safety in the workplace, environmental crimes, etc.

“Zero-Tolerance-of-Corruption” Plan and the anti-bribery 
management system

In compliance with the tenth principle of the Global Com-
pact, according to which “businesses should work against 
corruption in all its forms, including extortion and bribery”, 
Enel is committed to combating corruption. For this rea-
son, in 2006 we adopted the “Zero-Tolerance-of-Corrup-
tion” Plan (ZTC Plan), confirming the Group’s commitment, 
as  described  in  both  the  Code  of  Ethics  and  the  Model 
231, to ensure propriety and transparency in conducting 
company  business  and  operations  and  to  safeguard  our 

image  and  positioning,  the  work  of  our  employees,  the 
expectations of shareholders and all of the Group’s stake-
holders.  Following  receipt  of  the  ISO  37001  anti-corrup-
tion certification by Enel SpA in 2017, the 37001 certifica-
tion plan has gradually been extended to the main Italian 
and international subsidiaries of the Group. 
The  following  table  reports  the  average  number  of  per 
capita training hours provided on anti-corruption policies 
and procedures.

Respect  for  human  rights  is  part  of  the  very  foundation 
of  sustainable  progress.  Enel’s  business  model  is  based 
on  the  generation  of  sustainable  value,  together  with  its 
internal  and  external  stakeholders,  on  continuous  inno-
vation,  the  pursuit  of  excellence  and  respect  for  human 
rights throughout the value chain. This translates into the 
rejection of practices such as modern slavery, forced la-
bor and human trafficking, and the promotion of diversi-
ty, inclusion, equal opportunity and ensuring that people 
are  treated  with  dignity  and  valued  for  their  uniqueness, 
whether they work within the Company or elsewhere along 
the value chain in which the Group operates. The main in-
ternational standards inspiring Enel’s commitment are the 

United  Nations  framework  “Protect,  Respect,  Remedy”, 
outlined in the guiding principles on business and human 
rights, and the guidelines for multinational companies of 
the OECD. This commitment is clearly reflected in the hu-
man rights policy drawn up and adopted back in 2013. In 
2021, this document was updated to take account of the 
evolution  of  international  reference  frameworks  and  the 
operational,  organizational  and  management  processes 
of the Group. The document strengthens and expands the 
commitments already present in other codes of conduct 
adopted by Enel such as the Code of Ethics, the “Zero-Tol-
erance-of-Corruption” Plan and global compliance mod-
els. The update was approved by the Board of Directors of 

46

Integrated Annual Report 2023

Enel SpA and then adopted by the subsidiaries. Enel un-
dertakes to comply with these principles in every country 
in  which  it  operates,  respecting  local  cultural,  social  and 
economic  diversity,  requiring  each  stakeholder  to  adopt 
conduct  in  line  with  these  principles,  paying  particular 
attention  to  high-risk  environments  or  those  exposed  to 
conflicts. 

Stakeholders are all those who have a direct or indirect in-
terest in the activities of the Enel Group, such as custom-
ers, employees of any type or level, suppliers, contractors, 
partners,  other  companies  and  trade  associations,  the 
financial  community,  civil  society,  local  communities  and 
indigenous  and  tribal  peoples,  national  and  international 
institutions, the media, as well as the organizations and in-
stitutions that represent them.
The update, similar to the 2013 version, involved a process 
of consultation with stakeholders relevant to the Compa-
ny (internal, other companies, suppliers, human rights ex-
perts,  think  tanks,  NGOs)  conducted  in  accordance  with 
the  criteria  contained  in  the  ‘‘UN  Global  Compact  Guide 
for Business: How to Develop a Human Rights Policy’’.
The updated code identifies twelve principles (compared 
with  the  previous  eight),  again  divided  into  two  mac-
ro-themes: work practices and community relations.
The Human Rights Policy is a commitment to:
•  proactively consider the needs and priorities of people 
and  society  in  general  because  this  makes  it  possible 
to  innovate  processes  and  products,  a  key  factor  in 
an  increasingly  competitive,  inclusive  and  sustainable 
business model, including through the adoption of the 
principles of circularity, the protection of natural capital 
and biodiversity;

•  promote the engagement of our main external and in-
ternal stakeholders in order to enhance their awareness 
and develop a constructive dialogue that can provide a 
valuable contribution to the design of solutions to mit-
igate climate change.

In  addition  to  the  commitment  to  the  contribution  to 
achieving  the  United  Nations  Sustainable  Development 
Goals, the updates include: (i) a reminder of how environ-
mental degradation and climate change are interconnect-
ed with human rights, in that the implementation of mea-
sures  to  mitigate  the  effects  of  human  activities  on  the 
environment  cannot  take  place  without  taking  account 
of their social impact; (ii) the strengthening of the princi-
ples of “respect for diversity and non-discrimination” and 
“health and safety” in the part relating to mental and phys-

ical  well-being  and  work-life  integration;  (iii)  an  increase 
in the granularity of our commitment in our relations with 
communities, with particular regard to local communities, 
indigenous and tribal populations, privacy and communi-
cation.
Enel has undertaken to monitor application of the Human 
Rights Policy (i) by employing a specific due diligence pro-
cess  in  the  various  countries  in  which  we  operate;  (ii)  by 
promoting  conduct  consistent  with  a  just  and  inclusive 
transition;  and  (iii)  by  enhancing  communication  with  re-
gard to the action plans developed to prevent and remedy 
situations in which critical issues could arise.
More specifically, the due diligence process for the man-
agement system has been developed in accordance with 
the  main  international  standards  such  as  the  United  Na-
tions  Guiding  Principles  on  Business  and  Human  Rights 
and the OECD guidelines. It enables us to identify opportu-
nities for improvement and develop specific action plans. 
Thanks  to  this  process,  100%  of  policies  and  operational 
procedures adopted are evaluated to identify any direct or 
indirect risks in the management of our operations, cov-
ering the entire value chain and the establishment of new 
business relationships (for example, acquisitions, mergers, 
joint ventures, etc.). A new cycle of the process was begun 
in 2023. 

With regard to the sustainability of the supply chain, Enel’s 
purchasing processes are based on fairness, transparency 
and collaboration, and for this reason the Group’s suppli-
ers are required not only to guarantee the necessary qual-
ity  standards  but  also  to  commit  to  adopting  best  prac-
tices for human rights and the impact of their activity on 
the environment. These include those concerning working 
conditions, health and safety, appropriate working hours, 
rejection  of  forced  or  child  labor,  respect  for  personal 
dignity,  non-discrimination  and the  inclusion  of  diversity, 
freedom of association and collective bargaining and re-
spect for privacy by design and by default. All of this is de-
lineated by a clear framework of codes of conduct, includ-
ing,  in  addition  to  the  Human  Rights  Policy,  the  Code  of 
Ethics, the “Zero-Tolerance-of-Corruption” Plan and glob-
al compliance programs. Furthermore, specific clauses are 
included in all contracts for works, services and supplies, 
updated periodically to take account of the regulatory de-
velopments and ensure alignment with international best 
practices.  For  more  information,  please  see  the  section 
“Sustainable supply chain”.

GROUP STRATEGY & 
RISK MANAGEMENT 

	● Reference scenario and context

Short-term global uncertainties in macroeconomic conditions, 
energy, the climate and the energy transition are driving us to 
improve the visibility of returns and increase the flexibility of our 
businesses.

	● Strategic Plan 

The new Strategic Plan focuses the Group's strategy on driving 
the profitability of investments, enhancing the effectiveness of 
organization and processes in order to rationalize costs and, finally, 
ensuring sustainability in the face of the financial and environmental 
challenges of climate change.

	● Analysis of risks and opportunities

The evaluation of climate and transition scenarios within a 
structured process is a key tool for translating data into useful 
information for maximizing opportunities and mitigating risks.

REFERENCE  
SCENARIO

The geopolitical environment

Global economic developments can have a significant im-
pact on the Group’s operations due to their direct effects 
on GDP growth rates, inflation rates and exchange rates in 
the countries in which Enel operates. In recent years, the 
stability of the euro area has been shaken by a number of 
adverse events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the 
more recent military conflict between Russia and Ukraine. 
Since the euro-area economies are among the most ex-
posed  to  the  war  due  to  their  geographical  proximity  to 
the conflict area and their strong dependence on gas im-
ports from Russia, they have been severely impacted both 
in  terms  of  slower  GDP  growth  and  higher  inflation.  The 
latter was initially triggered by the exponential increase in 
energy  and  commodity  prices.  Subsequently,  the  reper-
cussions  of  the  increase  in  the  cost  of  firm’s  production 
factors on the prices of non-energy industrial goods fu-
eled  a  persistent  inflationary  environment,  one  that  still 
represents a risk factor requiring careful monitoring. The 
increase  in  inflation  has  eroded  household  purchasing 
power  and  has  weighed  on  industrial  production,  partic-
ularly in more energy-intensive sectors. The easing of in-
flationary pressures in the second half of the year in the 
euro area – similarly to developments in the United States 
– prompted the European Central Bank to interrupt its se-
ries of interest rate increases after September. The great-
er persistence of core inflation (which excludes the most 
volatile goods) compared with general inflation, however, 
represents a source of uncertainty concerning the future 
path of monetary policy, which if kept restrictive for a lon-
ger period time could impact economic activity and mon-
etary policy in the euro area.
The year 2024 will again be marked by geopolitical devel-
opments on a global scale. The continuation of the con-
flict  between  Russia  and  Ukraine,  the  more  recent  ten-
sions that have emerged in the Middle East, the elections 
scheduled  for  2024  in  the  European  Union,  the  United 
States, the United Kingdom, India, Taiwan, Iran and many 
other countries, could all have a significant impact on the 
domestic and foreign policies of major global players.
On the budgetary policy front, in December 2023 the fi-
nance ministers of the European Union reached an agree-
ment for the reform of the Stability and Growth Pact. The 

50

Integrated Annual Report 2023

new fiscal rules are characterized by greater simplicity and 
an emphasis on more readily observable variables, with the 
aim  of  improving  the  effectiveness  and  credibility  of  the 
rules.
On the international trade front, systems of sanctions also 
remain  in  place,  which  can  influence  trade  agreements 
between  countries  and  industrial  policies  in  various  re-
gions.  Any  introduction  of  new  customs  duties  or  export 
restrictions  could  further  aggravate  current  macroeco-
nomic conditions and make the geopolitical situation even 
more uncertain.
The main risks affecting energy commodities lie in the fra-
gility of the natural gas market in Europe. Although com-
modity  prices  have  fallen  well  below  the  highs  recorded 
in  2022,  market  equilibria  are  very  tenuous,  and  disrup-
tions  along  the  value  chain,  such  as  the  loss  of  a  supply 
route via the Suez Canal, could drive prices up. This would 
also have a sharp impact on coal and electricity prices, as 
these variables are strongly correlated with developments 
in  gas  prices.  These  considerations  also  hold  for  the  oil 
market, whose flows also pass through countries close to 
the conflict areas and are strongly influenced by relations 
between the United States and the Middle East.
The  current  geopolitical  and  macroeconomic  context, 
both in the West and in China, will also continue to influ-
ence  demand  in  the  industrial  metals  sector,  which  was 
affected  last  year  by  the  slowdown  in  global  economic 
growth  and  prolonged  political  and  military  tensions.  In 
particular,  in  China  –  the  global  leader  in  metals  markets 
– the recovery in demand in 2023 was weaker than ana-
lysts  and  experts  had  forecast,  and  future  developments 
continue to depend heavily on the impact of government 
stimuli, which have not been as effective as expected so 
far, and on the recovery of demand in Western countries. 
As regards the metals most closely involved in renewable 
energy  technologies,  such  as  lithium  and  polysilicon,  the 
recent  environment  of  rapidly  and  sharply  falling  prices, 
undermined  by  disappointing  demand  for  “green”  solu-
tions and a very large increase in the supply of both mate-
rials, is eroding the margins of producers, who are strug-
gling  to  sustain  investment  in  near-term  price  scenario 
that does not offer much room for growth.

Macroeconomic environment

The  global  macroeconomic  environment  in  2023  was 
characterized by a general slowdown in the real economy, 
continuing  a  downward  trend  that  had  already  begun  in 
the previous year. After a slowdown in global GDP growth 
to 3.1% on an annual basis in 2022, following the excellent 
performance of 6.4% growth recorded in 2021, real growth 
is expected to be even slower in 2023, at 3%. This decline 
reflects the lagged and continuing effects of the restric-
tive monetary policy stances adopted by central banks to 
counteract  high  inflationary  pressures,  the  loss  of  con-
sumer purchasing power, the deterioration in financial and 
credit conditions, and the decline in trade and investment 
at a global level. Additionally, the protracted military con-
flict between Russia and Ukraine, the more recent conflict 
in the Middle East, volatile US-China relations and the re-
sulting global uncertainty have continued to adversely im-
pact  energy,  commodity  and  food  markets,  slowing  the 
normalization of inflationary pressures on a global scale.
In  the  United  States,  the  economy  performed  well  above 
market expectations in the 4th Quarter, with GDP expand-
ing by 3.1% on an annual basis, compared with 2.9% in the 
4th Quarter of 2022. 
Private consumption spending began to realign with real 
incomes  during  the  year,  as  excess  savings  accumulat-
ed  during  the  pandemic  continued  to  decline,  especially 
among low-income households. However, a general eas-
ing  in  the  inflationary  pressures  created  by  the  surge  in 
energy commodity prices in the previous year, a very re-
silient labor market and strong domestic demand buoyed 
GDP, which is expected to have grown by 2.5% on an annu-
al basis, up from 1.9% the previous year.
In the euro area, macroeconomic conditions experienced 
a  period  of  stagnation,  dragged  down  by  the  restrictive 
monetary  policy  stance,  the  impact  of  high  inflation  on 
consumers’ real incomes, weak external demand and  in-
dustrial weakness. The real economy is expected to have 
entered  a  technical  recession  in  the  4th  Quarter,  with  a 
contraction  of  0.1%  on  a  quarterly  basis  in  the  last  three 
months of the year confirming that already recorded in the 
previous period. With regard to inflationary pressures, final 
consumer good prices began to slow in the last quarter of 
the year thanks to the restrictive monetary policy stance 
implemented by the European Central Bank, weak domes-
tic demand and falling energy prices, with inflation at 5.5% 
year-on-year, down from a peak of 8.4% in 2022.
In Italy, economic activity displayed clear signs of flagging, 
with  GDP  expected  to  grow  by  0.7%  on  an  annual  basis 
after the strong rise of 3.9% recorded the previous year. 
Private consumption has been hit by high inflation, while 
tighter  financial  conditions  have  dragged  down  invest-
ment. Subdued external demand also affected exports. By 
contrast,  consumer  prices  recorded  positive  signs,  with 
inflation falling sharply in the last quarter thanks to signifi-

cant base effects resulting from the moderation of energy 
prices.
In Spain, the economy performed better than the Europe-
an average thanks to a strong contribution from services, 
with  GDP  expected  to  grow  by  2.4%.  After  a  substantial 
decline in inflationary pressures in the first half of the year 
driven by the normalization of energy prices, the second 
half of the year was characterized by rebound, with aver-
age annual inflation standing at 3.4% in 2023, compared 
with 8.3% in 2022.
In  Latin  America,  inflation  slowed  in  2023,  although  the 
decline  differed  depending  on  the  country.  In  Brazil,  the 
economy registered faster-than-expected GDP growth in 
2023, expanding by an estimated 2.9% on an annual basis. 
In the first half of the year, growth was driven by the ex-
traordinary performance of the agricultural sector and by 
robust domestic demand driven by private consumption. 
The  economy  was  resilient  in  the  second  half,  sustained 
by  an  increase  in  exports  and  modest  growth  in  house-
hold consumption, which benefited from more moderate 
inflation and an improvement in the labor market. Inflation 
decelerated  sharply  compared  with  2022  (the  annual  in-
flation rate came to 4.6% in 2023), reflecting a restrictive 
monetary policy stance and a decline in energy and ser-
vice prices.
In  Chile,  zero  growth  is  expected  for  GDP  in  2023,  after 
the 2.5% growth recorded in 2022. In the first half of the 
year, the tightening of financial conditions due to the re-
strictive policy stance adopted by the central bank and the 
uncertainty connected with the constitutional reform pro-
cess slowed economic activity. In the second half, howev-
er, growth was buoyed by the weakness of global demand 
and  rapid  disinflation  (the  annual  inflation  rate  was  7.7% 
in  2023,  compared  with  11.6%  in  2022),  which  prompted 
the Chilean central bank to cut interest rates by 300 basis 
points.
In  Colombia,  economic  activity  slowed  sharply  in  2023 
compared with the previous year, with GDP growing by an 
estimated 1.0% on an annual basis, a sharp decline from 
the 7.3% registered in 2022. Persistent inflation, combined 
with high interest rates for a prolonged period, adversely 
impacted demand, accompanied by a slowdown in invest-
ment and a decline in exports. Inflation slipped below 10% 
only in December, posting an annual average of 11.8%. The 
slow  process  of  disinflation  enabled  the  central  bank  to 
reduce interest rates by only 25 basis points at the end of 
the year.
Peru saw the economy contract by an estimated 0.5% in 
2023,  after  posting  growth  of  2.7%  in  2022.  Political  and 
social  instability,  greater-than-expected  climate  anom-
alies  associated  with  El  Niño  and  high  food  prices  due 
to  lower  agricultural  production  generated  an  especially 
sharp contraction in economic activity in the first half of 

Reference scenario

51

the  year.  The  inflation  rate  was  6.3%  in  2023,  compared 
with 7.9% in 2022. This decline prompted the central bank 
to cut interest rates by 100 basis points in the second half 
of the year.
In  Argentina,  2023  was  characterized  by  a  severe  eco-
nomic  crisis  that  led  to  the  devaluation  of  the  Argentine 
peso  and  continued  hyperinflation.  GDP  contracted  by 

an estimated 1.2% on an annual basis, while inflation rose 
to 127.9%. The currency devaluations implemented at the 
end  of  2023,  which  are  intended  to  foster  the  country’s 
export  competitiveness,  and  the  political  uncertainty  as-
sociated  with  the  presidential  elections  in  October  have 
fueled the inflationary spiral.

Energy and other commodities in 2023

In 2023, prices on the European gas market registered a 
strong  downward  trend,  reflecting  high  levels  of  storage 
and decreasing demand. On average, the TTF benchmark 
price  decreased  by  more  than  65%  compared  with  the 
previous  year,  due  to  the  easing  of  the  supply  risks  that 
emerged in 2022, the year in which gas flows ceased from 
Russia, the main supplier to the European market.
However, the gas market remained highly volatile and very 
sensitive to the upward shocks recorded during the year, 
reflecting the fragility of the balance between supply and 
demand, although prices never touched the levels reached 
in 2022. Price volatility was moderated by the achievement 
of a high percentage of filled storage (above 90%) before 
the start of the winter season, which combined with mild 
temperatures in November and December led to a sharp 
reduction  in  gas  prices  in  Europe  in  the  final  months  of 
2023, falling below €35/MWh.

The developments in gas prices, together with high levels 
of storage, in turn drove a decrease in coal prices, which 
in 2023 averaged $129/ton (-55.5% on the previous year). 
The dynamics of the gas market have also made coal-fired 
generation  less  attractive,  discouraging  its  consumption 
and encouraging accumulation of the commodity.

In the first half of 2023, oil prices declined in response to 
the normalization of supply and expectations of a weak re-
covery in demand. During the second half, however, prices 
jumped  considerably,  reaching  a  peak  in  September,  re-
flecting the impact of additional cuts in supply combined 
with growing demand. In the last quarter of 2023 the price 
trend reversed again, with Brent prices falling below $75 a 
barrel. In 2023, the European benchmark price averaged 
$82 a barrel, 17% lower than the previous year.

In  contrast  to  developments  in  other  energy  commodi-
ties, 2023 saw a slight increase in CO2 prices in the ETS, 
which rose by about 4% compared with the previous year. 
On a monthly basis, prices displayed a downward trend in 
the second half of the year, mainly due to low demand for 
allowances  from  both  ordinary  market  participants  and 
speculative operators.
In the wake of developments in the second half of 2022, 
weak  economic  growth  and  the  increasingly  tense  geo-
political context dominated metals markets in 2023, exac-
erbated in the final part of the year by the resurgence of 
conflict in the Middle East.
As often happens in commodity markets, China again had 
a  decisive  impact  on  market  balances  and  price  trends. 
Following the easing of logistical issues in 2022, fears of 
a  slowdown  in  growth  and  the  crisis  in  the  construction 
sector  dampened  demand,  and  therefore  prices,  for  the 
Asian giant as well.

As regards base metals such as aluminum and copper, the 
prices  of  which  are  highly  correlated  with  economic  and 
industrial  activity,  the  weakness  of  economic  conditions 
caused  the  prices  of  both  to  perform  less  strongly  than 
expected. Copper prices recorded an overall decrease in 
the first half of 2023 before stabilizing from June onwards, 
recording  an  average  price  of  $8,495/ton  in  the  year,

down by 3.8% compared with 2022. Aluminum performed 
even worse, with the price remaining weak throughout the 
year, closing 2023 with an average of $2,256/ton, down by 
16.6% compared with the average for 2022.
A similar pattern was displayed by steel prices, which after 
an initial rise at the beginning of the year, quickly retreated 
and closed 2023 at an average price of $580/ton, down by 
15% compared with 2022.
As  regards  the  metals  most  closely  involved  in  renew-
able  energy  technologies,  such  as  lithium  for  batteries 
or  the  polysilicon  used  in  the  manufacture  of  photovol-
taic panels, 2023 prices showed declines compared with 
2022 that were even larger than those registered by base 
metals.  Lithium,  which  was  adversely  impacted  by  low-
er-than-expected demand for batteries and, above all, by 
a strong expansion of supply, both internally in China and 
from  Australia  and  South  America,  saw  2023  prices  fall 
constantly during the year to close at an average price of 
about $36,000/ton, down by almost 50% compared with 
2022.  Similar  developments  were  registered  for  polysil-
icon  prices,  which  following  sharp  declines  beginning  in 
December  2022  remained  very  weak  throughout  2023, 
posting an average of about $16,000/ton, down by about 
54% compared with 2022.

Electricity  consumption  in  Europe  decreased  in  2023, 
mainly  reflecting  high  temperatures  and  a  slowdown  in 
economic activity.
Italian electricity demand closed 2023 with a contraction 
of  2.8%  compared  with  2022.  Monthly  electricity  con-
sumption in the first nine months of 2023 was consistently 
lower than the previous year, with a slight recovery in the 
last quarter that was not sufficient to offset the losses ac-

cumulated  in  the  previous  months,  again  reflecting  mild 
temperatures  and  weak  industrial  activity.  The  decrease 
recorded in Spain was larger at 4.0%, reflecting the slow-
down in the industrial and service sectors, combined with 
the  effect  of  milder  temperatures.  Demand  in  Romania 
also fell sharply, recording a decrease of 6.1% compared 
with the previous year.

Electricity  prices  in  Italy  and  Spain  fell  sharply  in  2023 
compared with 2022, reflecting the decrease in prices on 
energy commodity markets during the year. More specifi-
cally, a sharp decrease in the price of gas, together with an

The underlying factor in the decline in gas prices was a de-
crease in gas consumption. In 2023, demand contracted 
sharply compared with the previous year. In Italy and Spain, 
gas  demand  decreased  by  10.1%  and  8.9%  respective-

ly,  reflecting  the  mild  temperatures  recorded  during  the 
year, an increase in electricity generation from renewable 
sources and the continued weakness of industrial produc-
tion, which is still below pre-crisis levels.

In  Italy,  demand  decreased  by  10.1%  compared  with  2022. 
Analyzing consumption by sector, thermal generation regis-
tered a particularly large decline (-15.5%), mainly due to the 
replacement of gas generation with renewable generation. 

This  is  followed  by  distribution  grids  (-7.3%),  where  the  de-
crease  reflected  mild  temperatures  in  the  first  and  fourth 
quarters. Less marked but still significant was the decrease 
recorded in industry (-3.4%).

Competitive and transition environment 

Assessing  the  evolution  of  the  energy  transition  process 
is  a  fundamental  input  in  the  definition  of  Enel’s  strategy. 
This  assessment  is  particularly  critical  in  the  current  envi-
ronment,  characterized,  as  discussed  in  earlier  sections, 
by growing geopolitical tensions, high interest and inflation 
rates and supply chain difficulties. At the same time, the ob-
jectives of the Paris Agreement require an acceleration of 
the energy transition, in order to limit the increase in aver-
age global warming to 1.5 °C compared with pre-industrial 
levels. The recent COP 28 on climate change held in Dubai 
established  the  objective  of  gradually  transitioning  away 
from fossil fuels by 2050 and tripling renewables capacity 
by 2030 (11 TW vs 3.6 TW in 2022), in line with the Interna-
tional Energy Agency (IEA) Net Zero(12) and the International 
Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) 1.5(13) scenarios.

The transition is shifting gears at the global level, as demon-
strated in particular by the increase in renewables capac-
ity,  which  saw  over  500  GW  of  capacity  installed  in  2023 
alone.(14) According to the IEA, the decline in all fossil fuels 
will begin within this decade under current policy scenar-
ios.(15)  Nonetheless,  a  broad  gap  persists  between  today’s 
ambitions and holding the temperature increase to below 
1.5 °C, as well as local differences in the pace of progress 
towards the goals that each country has set itself. This gap 
is largely connected with the need to introduce measures 
to  implement  the  long-term  objectives,  with  a  view  to  in-
creasing both the development of renewables and the rate 
of  electrification  of  consumption  in  the  short  term.  More 

specifically, in the IEA’s announced pledges scenario (APS), 
capacity reaches a total of almost 10 TW, and is therefore 
still not consistent with the latest agreements.

Furthermore,  while  on  the  one  hand  we  are  witnessing  a 
convergence of calls for energy security, accessibility and 
sustainability,  which  is  guiding  everyone  –  political  deci-
sion-makers, citizens and companies – towards an acceler-
ation of the clean electrification process, in reality the ener-
gy transition is proceeding along a path of disorderly poli-
cies (“disorderly transition”(16)) compared with expectations. 
In some geographical areas, the speed of the transition is 
not as rapid as expected, as measured by sales of electric 
cars and heat pumps – the main drivers of the increase in 
electricity  demand.  Although  they  are  expanding  steadily, 
they do not yet have a significant impact on global energy 
consumption.

In a year characterized by high interest rates, inflation and 
supply chain difficulties, the utilities sector, and integrated 
utilities in particular, has demonstrated resilience to external 
developments, thanks in part to the normalization of com-
modity prices, as well as the balance achieved between in-
dustry,  with  investments  to  expand  renewable  generation 
capacity  and  strengthen  grid  infrastructure,  which  lower 
risk. This positioning reaffirms the crucial role of utilities in 
the  context  of  the  transition  and  manifests  the  commit-
ment to energy security.

With the evolution of markets, the electricity generation and 
sales sector, together with related services and products, is 
experiencing an increase in competition, often a reflection 
of the strategic repositioning of companies in related sec-
tors. Although this is producing a potentially more challeng-

ing competitive environment due to the presence of multiple 
operators, it also opens the way to new business opportu-
nities, the identification of new areas of value, the creation 
of synergies and the development of potential partnerships.

Climate change and long-term scenarios

Enel  promotes  transparency  in  its  climate-change  impact 
disclosures  and  works  to  demonstrate  to  its  stakeholders 
that it is tackling climate change with diligence and deter-
mination, consistent with the guidelines and requirements 
set out in the most recent disclosure standards. The Group 
was one of the first utilities to take on board the “Guidelines 
on reporting climate-related information” published by the 
European  Commission  in  June  2019,  which,  together  with 
sustainability  reporting  standards  such  as  the  GRI  Stan-
dards, represent a benchmark for the Group’s reporting on 
climate change issues.

Scenario analysis and planning

The  Group  develops  short-,  medium-  and  long-term  sce-
narios for macroeconomic, financial, energy and climate de-
velopments in order to support planning, capital allocation, 
strategic  positioning  and  the  assessment  of  the  risks  and 
resilience of the strategy. Scenario-based planning involves 
defining  alternative  scenarios  developed  on  the  basis  of  a 
number  of  key  uncertainty  variables,  such  as  achieving  the 
goals of the Paris Agreement. The development of scenarios 
allows  companies  to  explore  and  model  plausible  alterna-
tive  futures,  designing  various  paths  forward  with  different 
timing and options, and ultimately to support strategic de-
cision-making with a view to maximizing opportunities and 
mitigating risks.
To  support  analysis  of  scenarios  and  the  evolution  of  the 
external  context,  the  Group  identifies  and  analyzes  short-, 
medium-  and  long-term  trends  to  develop  an  overview  of 
how the structural forces and macro-trends are influencing 
the speed of the transition and of the expected impacts in 
the energy sector, especially in the businesses in which Enel 
operates. This mapping of trends provides a reference foun-
dation for developing actions to orient the positioning of the 
business, seizing the opportunities offered by the context.

Scenario benchmarking
Benchmarking of external energy scenarios is a key starting 
point  in  order  to  build  robust  internal  scenarios.  There  are 
many global, regional and national energy transition scenar-
ios published by various providers and designed for a wide 
range  of  purposes,  from  government  planning  and  policy-

making  to  the  support  of  enterprise  decision-making  pro-
cesses.  Benchmarking  entails  analyzing  external  transition 
scenarios in order to compare results in terms of the energy 
mixes, trends in emissions, and technology decisions and to 
identify the main drivers of the energy transition for each.

Enel’s benchmarking of external energy transition scenarios 
comprises the following steps.
1.  Analysis of the context of global and national scenarios 
for  the  countries  in  which  we  operate.  The  analysis  of 
scenarios, as well as the study of reports and datasets, is 
supported by constant dialogue with the analysts of the 
main scenario providers. Global energy scenarios are typ-
ically grouped by family based on the degree of climate 
ambition, as follows:

•  Stated-policies  scenarios:  based  on  current  policies,  or 

Business-as-usual;

•  Paris-Aligned scenarios: these are aligned with the Paris 
Agreement, i.e. are compatible with the goal of limiting the 
increase in average global temperatures to “well below 2 
°C” above pre-industrial levels; 

•  Paris-Ambitious/Net  Zero  scenarios:  global  energy  sce-
narios  that  take  a  path  towards  net-zero  emissions  by 
2050,  in  line  with  the  most  ambitious  goal  of  the  Par-
is Agreement, i.e. to keep the average increase in global 
temperatures to 1.5 °C, albeit with various probability in-
tervals. 

2.  Data collection, data analysis and identification of sce-
nario  and  energy  transition  drivers.  The  data  regards 
all the main metrics of the energy system, including, for 
example:  primary  energy,  total  and  sectoral  final  energy, 
electrical  capacity  by  technology,  electricity  generation 
by  technology,  hydrogen  production,  electric  vehicle 
fleet, etc. The data analysis gives each provider an under-
standing  of  the  key  elements  of  the  Business-as-usual/
Stated-policies scenarios and leads to the identification 
of the drivers for accelerating the energy transition in the 
Paris-Aligned and Paris-Ambitious scenarios. 

3.  Preparation of a summary of the data analysis and digital 
representation of the main metrics of external scenarios, 
to provide support for management in the decision-mak-
ing process for the Group’s scenario framework. This ac-
tivity is an integral part of internal planning processes.

The main transition drivers: 
electrification and renewables

Analyzing the various external scenarios, the consensus 
among energy analysts is clearly that the main drivers 
for achieving climate objectives are electrifying 
final uses and increasing renewable generation in 

both the medium and long term. In particular, in the 
scenarios that envisage containing the increase in 
the global average temperature to 1.5 °C, the rate of 
electrification of consumption rises to over 50% by 
2050, compared with 20% in 2022,(17) while the share 
of renewable generation will reach around 90% of the 
global electricity mix, compared with 30% in 2022.(18)

Enel΄s energy transition and climate change scenarios

Enel develops scenarios within an overall framework that 
ensures  consistency  between  the  energy  transition  sce-
nario and the climate physical scenario:
•  the “energy transition scenario” describes how energy 
production  and  generation  evolve  in  the  various  sec-

tors in a specific economic, social, policy and regulatory 
context;

•  the issues connected with future trends in climate vari-
ables  (in  terms  of  acute  and  chronic  manifestations) 
define the “physical scenario”.

The acquisition and processing of the large volume of data 
and information needed to define the scenarios, and the 
identification  of  the  methodologies  and  metrics  neces-
sary to interpret phenomena that are complex and – in the 
case of climate scenarios – at very high resolution, require 
a continuous dialogue with both external and Enel internal 

sources.  In  order  to  evaluate  the  effects  of  physical  and 
transition  phenomena  on  the  energy  system,  the  Group 
makes use of models that, for the main Group countries 
involved  in  the  analysis,  describe  the  energy  system  in 
terms  of  specific  technological,  socio-economic,  policy 
and regulatory aspects.

Enel’s energy transition scenarios 

An  energy  transition  scenario  describes  how  energy  pro-
duction and consumption can evolve in a specific geopolit-
ical, macroeconomic and regulatory and competitive con-
text consistent with the available technological options. This 
corresponds  to  a  certain  trend  in  greenhouse  gas  (GHG) 
emissions and a climate scenario and, therefore, a certain 
increase  in  temperature  by  the  end  of  the  century  com-
pared with pre-industrial levels. It should be noted that the 
resulting climate scenario is not deterministic with respect 
to carbon dioxide emissions. For each climate scenario, the 
IPCC also always provides both the median value for global 
warming  in  2100  and  the  very  likely  range  (i.e.  the  interval 
between the 5th and 95th percentiles).

The main assumptions considered in developing the Enel 
energy  transition  scenarios  concern  the  macroeconom-
ic and energy context, local policies and regulatory mea-
sures,  the  evolution,  costs  and  adoption  of  energy  pro-
duction, conversion and consumption technologies. 

The  Reference  scenario  for  planning  is  a  Paris-Aligned 
scenario, calling for achievement of the objectives of the 
Paris Agreement, i.e. keeping the increase in the global av-
erage temperature below 2 °C compared with pre-indus-
trial  levels,  with  a  level  of  climate  ambition  that  is  higher 

than Business-as-usual, but without necessarily assuming 
the global achievement of the Net Zero 2050 target, given 
the current global level of cumulative ambition and the de-
celeration of the energy transition caused by the impact 
on certain transition variables of current macroeconomic 
and energy conditions at the local level.

In order to assess the risks and opportunities inherent in 
the  energy  transition,  alternative  scenarios  to  the  refer-
ence framework have been defined on the basis of the de-
gree of climate ambition assumed at the global and local 
level. These comprise: a Slower Transition scenario, char-
acterized by an energy transition in which the near-term 
slowdown  in  the  transition  in  certain  areas  has  a  greater 
overall  impact  in  the  medium  term,  and  an  Accelerated 
Transition scenario, with greater ambition compared with 
the  Reference  scenario,  in  particular  as  regards  certain 
variables.

The  assumptions  for  trends  in  commodities  prices  un-
derlying  the  Reference  scenario  are  consistent  with  the 
external scenarios that achieve the objectives of the Par-
is  Agreement.  More  specifically,  we  assume  sustained 
growth  in  the  price  of  CO2  through  2030,  caused  by  a 
gradual reduction in the supply of allowances as demand 

60

Integrated Annual Report 2023

increases, as well as a significant decrease in the price of 
coal due to declining demand. As for gas, we expect pric-
ing  pressures  to  lessen  in  the  coming  years  as  we  see  a 

realignment  between  global  supply  and  demand.  Finally, 
we are forecasting a gradual stabilization in oil prices, with 
demand expected to peak by around 2030.

 Sources: IEA - Sustainable Development Scenario and Net Zero Scenario; BNEF, IHS green case scenario; Enerdata green scenario. N.B. The scenarios used 
as benchmarks have been published at various points throughout the year and may not be up to date with the latest market trends.

The  alternative  scenarios  envisage  both  an  acceleration 
in decarbonization, driven by regulation, and at the same 
time a more rapid decline in demand for fossil fuels, which 
inevitably translates into lower prices for these commod-
ities  by  2030.  In  the  case  of  a  slower  transition,  fuel  de-
mand will reach its peak more gradually, and this will sup-
port energy commodity prices.

With  regard  to  full  achievement  of  the  Paris  Agreement 
objectives, i.e. to stabilize global average temperatures to 
within  +1.5  °C,  there  remain  uncertainties  that  a  number 
of  countries  could  remain  on  business-as-usual  trajec-
tories  and  not  adopt  effective  measures  to  reduce  their 
emissions in a timely manner, thereby slowing the decar-
bonization process towards net-zero emissions by 2050. 

Reference scenario

61

Nevertheless,  the  Enel  Group  operates  a  business  model 
and  has  defined  strategic  guidelines  that  are  in  line  with 
the maximum ambition of the Paris Agreement objectives, 
i.e. they are consistent with an increase of 1.5 °C in the av-
erage global temperature by 2100, as certified by the Sci-

ence Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Enel has set a goal for 
2040 to achieve zero direct emissions (Scope 1), with to-
tally renewable electricity generation and zero emissions 
connected with retail energy sales (Scope 3). 

Local transition scenarios 

The  scenarios  have  been  defined  at  the  local  level  using 
two complementary approaches: 
•  in  the  main  countries  in  which  we  operate,  the  Group 
has  developed  dedicated  models  for  the  simulation 
of the long-term equilibrium of the entire energy sys-
tem. The values of the scenario variables of relevance 
to the activities of the Group were then calculated us-
ing  those  models  with  a  view  to  minimizing  costs  for 
the  system,  imposing  a  constraint  on  long-term  CO2 
emissions consistent with the achievement of the Paris 
Agreement objectives and interim constraints dictated 
by policies in existence or being adopted in each coun-
try, taking due account of short-term market dynamics 
and the diffusion of technologies particular to each of 
those countries; 

•  for the rest of the countries involved, the main scenario 
variables were determined by applying statistical anal-
ysis to internal and consensus data in relation to exter-
nal  scenarios  aligned  with  the  objectives  of  the  Paris 
Agreement  as  provided  by  national  and  international 
accredited bodies. 

The definition of internal transition scenarios was prompt-
ed by the need for greater modeling flexibility and greater 
geographical and operational granularity for the main vari-
ables  that  impact  Enel’s  different  businesses  compared 
with  the  scenarios  that  the  main  external  providers  can 
provide. The latter are typically produced and published at 
a global or regional level, with some exceptions for partic-
ularly large countries, which only rarely correspond to the 
countries in which the Group is present or has an interest.

Italy
For Italy, the Reference scenario takes account of the re-
cent developments in European climate and energy legis-
lation. The results at 2030 are therefore comparable with 
those  contained  in  the  draft  National  Integrated  Energy 
and  Climate  Plan  (NIECP),  published  in  June  2023,  with 
certain elements added to ensure greater fit with current 
market dynamics. The Slower Transition scenario has been 
constructed assuming a slower energy transition, with less 
rapid development of renewables capacity, electric mobil-
ity and green hydrogen production. The Accelerated Tran-

sition scenario assumes a quicker reform of authorization 
processes and support mechanisms for renewable energy 
plants, which accelerates installation, and lower costs for 
green hydrogen production technologies.

Spain
For Spain, the Reference scenario also envisages a level of 
climate  ambition  and  objectives  for  renewables  and  en-
ergy efficiency that take account of recent developments 
in  European  climate  and  energy  legislation  and  is  there-
fore  comparable  with  the  draft  NIECP  published  in  June 
2023. The scenario envisages rapid growth in renewables, 
particularly solar, in the next few years. It differs from the 
NIECP draft at 2030 in its assumption of slower develop-
ment of green hydrogen.
The  alternative  Slower  Transition  scenario  assumes  a  lag 
in  the  penetration  of  renewables,  green  hydrogen  and 
electric  technologies,  in  particular  with  regard  to  private 
automobiles  and  the  electrification  of  domestic  con-
sumption. The Accelerated Transition scenario envisages 
a more rapid implementation of authorization procedures 
for renewables, increasing annual installation levels, and a 
development of green hydrogen consistent with the draft 
NIECP, as well as a further effort to achieve energy savings 
in buildings.

Brazil
For Brazil, the Reference scenario envisages an increase in 
electrification at 2030, with a growing level of renewables 
generation,  in  particular  solar  and  wind,  and  the  start  of 
green hydrogen production after 2027, with a more ambi-
tious  view  compared  with  the  most  recent  energy  plan.(19) 
In  the  transport  sector,  it  takes  account  of  biofuel  incen-
tive policies and assumes an increase in electrification. The 
Slower Transition scenario is constructed on the assump-
tion of a less optimistic macroeconomic environment than 
the Reference scenario, especially in the years up to 2030, 
with slower expansion of renewables capacity and a con-
sequent slower trend line in emissions reduction. The Ac-
celerated Transition scenario goes beyond the ambition of 
the Reference scenario regarding the speed of decarbon-
ization, mainly after 2030, assuming an acceleration in the 
penetration of renewables, green hydrogen and storage.

Chile
As  far  as  Chile  is  concerned,  the  Reference  scenario 
is  consistent  with  the  Net  Zero  scenario  defined  in  the 
government’s  PELP  document  (Planificación  Energética 
a Largo Plazo 2023-2027), published in 2021, in terms of 
emissions reductions, and includes ambitious targets for 
the production and export of green hydrogen. The Slower 
Transition scenario takes a more measured approach, us-
ing  more  conservative  macroeconomic  growth  assump-
tions with no additional energy or climate policies beyond 
those already in place. The Accelerated Transition scenario 
achieves net-zero emissions by 2050 and, compared with 
the Reference scenario, provides for more ambitious goals 
for  the  export  of  green  hydrogen,  an  acceleration  in  the 
electrification of the residential and industrial sectors, and 
the phase-out of coal by 2030. 

Colombia
As  for  Colombia,  the  Reference  scenario  envisages  re-
ducing emissions by 40% by 2030 compared with 2021, a 
moderately less ambitious target than the National Deter-
mined  Contribution  (NDC)  objective,(20)  and  close  to  zero 
emissions  in  the  electricity  sector  by  2050.  In  the  Refer-
ence  scenario,  renewables  capacity  increases  consider-
ably  by  2030,  and  envisages  further  growth  connected 
with green hydrogen after 2030, albeit more conservative-
ly compared with the expectations set out in the national 
strategy.(21) The Slower Transition scenario is characterized 
by emissions trends consistent with the Actualización sce-
nario in the government strategy document,(22) which as-
sumes more conservative macroeconomic growth and no 
additional energy or climate policies beyond those already 
in place. The Accelerated Transition scenario envisages an 
acceleration of the electrification process in the residen-
tial  and  industrial  sectors,  together  with  greater  growth 
expectations for the use of renewable sources. 

The physical climate scenario for adaptation actions

Within  the  framework  delineated  above,  each  scenario 
narrative has been developed so as to ensure consistency 
between the energy transition scenarios and the climate 
scenarios. 
Under the scenarios, the role of climate change is always 
the  most  important  and  generates  effects  both  in  terms 
of transitioning the economy towards net-zero emissions 
and in terms of physical impacts, which may be:
•  acute phenomena, namely short-lived but intense phe-
nomena, such as flooding, hurricanes etc. with poten-
tial impacts on assets (e.g., physical losses and business 
interruptions);

•  chronic phenomena related to structural changes in the 
climate, such as the rising trend in temperatures, rising 
sea levels etc., which may cause persistent changes in the 
output of generation plants and in electricity consump-
tion profiles in the residential and commercial sectors.

The projected future behavior of these phenomena is an-
alyzed by selecting the best data available from the output 
data  of  climate  models  at  different  resolution  levels  and 
historical data.

The Group has selected three of the global climate path-
ways developed by the IPCC, which are in line with those of 
the IPCC’s sixth Assessment Report (AR6). These scenarios 
are associated with emission patterns linked to a level of 

the Representative Concentration Pathway, each of which 
is connected to one of the five scenarios defined by the 
scientific community as Shared Socioeconomic Pathways 
(SSPs).  The  SSP  scenarios  include  general  assumptions 
concerning population, urbanization, etc. The three physi-
cal scenarios analyzed by the Group are as follows:
•  SSP1-RCP 2.6: compatible with a range of global warm-
ing  below  2  °C  from  pre-industrial  levels  (1850-1900) 
by 2100 (the IPCC forecasts an average of about +1.8 
°C from 1850-1900). In the analyses that consider both 
physical and transition variables, the Group associates 
the SSP1-RCP 2.6 scenario with the Reference and Ac-
celerated Transition scenarios.

•  SSP2-RCP  4.5:  compatible  with  an  intermediate  sce-
nario  that  calls  for  an  average  temperature  increase 
of about 2.7 °C by 2100 from pre-industrial levels. The 
RCP 4.5 scenario is the one that is most representative 
of  the  world’s  current  climate  and  political  landscape 
and  correlated  transition  assumptions.  This  scenar-
io  forecasts  global  warming  in  line  with  the  estimates 
of  temperature  increases  that  consider  current  policy 
around the world.(23) In the analyses that consider both 
physical and transition variables, the Group associates 
the  SSP2-RCP  4.5  scenario  with  the  Slower  Transition 
scenario.

•  SSP5-RCP  8.5:  compatible  with  a  scenario  where  no 
particular measures to combat climate change are im-

Reference scenario

plemented. This scenario forecasts an increase in glob-
al temperatures of about 4.4 °C from pre-industrial lev-
els by 2100. 

The Group considers RCP 8.5 to be a worst-case climate 
scenario used to assess the effects of physical phenom-
ena in a context of particularly significant climate change, 
but  it  is  currently  deemed  not  very  likely.  This  RCP  2.6 
scenario is used both to assess physical phenomena and 
perform analyses that consider an energy transition con-
sistent with most ambitious mitigation objectives.

The  analyses  carried  out  for  the  physical  scenarios  con-
sidered both chronic and acute phenomena. For the de-
scription of specific, complex events, the Group considers 
data  and  analyses  of  public  bodies,  universities,  and  pri-
vate-sector entities.

The climate scenarios are global and must be analyzed at 
the local level in order to determine their impact in the ar-
eas of relevance to the Group. Among active partnerships, 
collaboration  is  under  way  with  the  Earth  Sciences  De-
partment of the International Centre for Theoretical Phys-
ics (ICTP) in Trieste. As part of this collaboration, the ICTP 
provides  projections  for  the  major  climate  variables  with 
a grid resolution of varying from about 12 km to 100 km 
and a forecast horizon running from 2020 to 2050.(24) The 
main variables are temperature, rain and snowfall, and so-
lar radiation. Compared with past analyses, current studies 
are based on the use of multiple regional climate models: 
the  one  of  the  ICTP  along  with  other  simulations,  which 
have been selected as being representative of the set of 
climate models currently available in the literature.(25) The 
output of this set is representative of the average of the 
various  climate  models.  This  technique  is  usually  used  in 
the scientific community to obtain a more robust and bi-
as-free analysis, mediating the different assumptions that 
could characterize the individual model. 
For certain specific climatic variables, such as wind gusts, 
the  Group  also  uses  other  providers  specialized  in  that 
particular phenomenon.

In  this  phase  of  the  study,  future  projections  have  been 
analyzed for Italy, Spain and all countries of interest to the 

Group  in  South  America,  Central  America,  North  Amer-
ica  and  Africa,  obtaining  –  thanks  to  the  use  of  the  set 
of  models  –  a  more  highly  defined  representation  of  the 
physical  scenario.  Similarly,  the  Group  is  also  analyzing 
data  related  to  climate  projections  for  Africa,  Southern 
Asia and Southeast Asia, thereby covering all of the main 
geographical  areas  in  which  the  Group  is  present  at  the 
global level. 
The ICTP is also providing science support to interpret all 
other  climate  data we gather.  We  are  using  climate sce-
narios for the countries of interest to the Group to allow 
for a uniform assessment of climate risk.

Some of these phenomena entail high levels of complexity, 
as they depend not only on climate trends but also on the 
specific characteristics of the territory and require further 
modeling  to  obtain  a  high-resolution  representation.  For 
this  reason,  in  addition  to  the  climate  scenarios  provid-
ed by ICTP, the Group also uses natural hazard maps. This 
tool makes it possible to obtain, with a high spatial reso-
lution, recurrence intervals for a series of events, such as 
storms, hurricanes and floods. As described in the section 
“Risks and strategic opportunities associated with climate 
change”,  these  maps  are  widely  used  within  the  Group, 
which  already  uses  historical  data  to  optimize  insurance 
strategies. In addition, work is under way to be able to take 
advantage  of  this  information  developed  in  accordance 
with climate scenario projections. 
Finally, the Group has acquired the tools and capabilities 
needed to autonomously gather and analyze the raw out-
put published by the scientific community, so as to have a 
global, high-level view of the long-term trends in the cli-
mate variables of interest to us. These sources include the 
output from the climate and regional models CMIP6(26) and 
CORDEX.(27) CMIP6 is the sixth assessment of the Coupled 
Model  Intercomparison  Project  (CMIP),  which  is  a  project 
of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) and of 
the Working Group of Coupled Modelling (WGCM), which 
provides  raw  climate  data  from  global  climate  models. 
These are used to assess standard global measurements 
at  a  resolution  of  about  100x100  km.  The  Coordinated 
Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX) also 
falls within the scope of the WCRP and generates regional 
climate forecasts at a higher resolution.

(24)  The climate forecasts mainly cover the RCP 2.6 and RCP 8.5 scenarios. Where available, the RCP 4.5 scenario is also provided. Otherwise, it is derived from 

the other scenarios using a pattern-scaling approach. 

(25)  The number of models used varies depending on the RCP scenario.

Physical scenario analysis – Integration of climate  
scenarios within the Open Country Risk model 

In addition to using high-resolution data to analyze the im-
pact of physical phenomena, the Group has also designed 
a  higher-level  analysis  framework  that  enables  us  to  ob-
tain a country-level assessment of trends in certain glob-
al  climate  hazards  in  a  manner  that  is  consistent  across 
all regions. More specifically, we have adopted a modular 
approach that will enable us to progressively upgrade our 
analyses by including new physical phenomena and refin-
ing both the data and our methodologies. At present, four 
climate phenomena are included: two related to extreme 
temperatures; one related to intense rainfall; and one re-
lated to drought. The possibility of introducing other phe-

nomena  such  as  extreme  wind  and  sea  level  rise  is  also 
being evaluated. The phenomena are assigned a numeri-
cal index based on the global distribution to a resolution of 
about 100x100 km and are summarized in a composite in-
dex. This has enabled us to include a dimension related to 
climate change in the Open Country Risk model. This en-
ables the tool to include both the aspects considered by 
the Open Country Risk models and those aspects related 
to the physical risks considered in the model as a cause of 
environmental and economic stress in a given country. The 
Open Country Risk model is described in greater detail in 
the section “Macroeconomic and geopolitical trends”.

Physical scenario analyses 

Acute phenomena

Heat waves
Extreme temperatures can be studied using the standard 
indicator “Warm Spell Duration Index” (WSDI). This metric 
considers heat waves characterized by at least six consec-
utive  days  with  a  maximum  daily  temperature  above  the 
90th percentile of the historical distribution.(28)
In general, as can be seen in the following figure, in cen-
tral  and  southern  Europe  the  number  of  days  of  acute 
heat defined in accordance with the WSDI will increase in 
all  future  scenarios  in  the  2030-2050  period  compared 
with the historical benchmark (1990-2020). In the RCP 2.6 
scenario, most of the Italian peninsula will see an increase 
in the average number of days per year with heat  waves 
(from +10 to +15 days) compared with a historical annual 

average of around 20-25 days. This increase will be larg-
er  in  the  Alpine  areas  bordering  France  and  Switzerland 
and in some areas in southern Italy, with a change of +15 
to +20 days. The situation in Italy is also worsening in the 
RCP  8.5  scenario,  where  the  expected  increases  are  up 
to +30 days compared with the 1990-2020 period. Spain 
will  see  similar  changes,  with  heat  waves  also  becoming 
more widespread geographically and more frequent in the 
2030-2050 period. Compared with past years character-
ized by around 20 warm-spell days, in the RCP 2.6 scenario 
this phenomenon will increase by between +10 to +15 days 
in almost all of Spain.
In the RCP 8.5 scenario, the duration of heat waves will be 
even longer, especially in the southern part of the country 
(mainly from +20 to +25 days, with peaks of up to +37 days 
in certain coastal locations on the Mediterranean).

(28)  The scientific literature offers various indicators for measuring the same physical phenomenon. Where necessary, Enel also calculates  specific ad hoc 

metrics to analyze acute events relevant to the various global business lines.

The  number  of  days  characterized  by  heat  waves  calcu-
lated according to the WSDI is also expected to increase 
in  the  Americas  in  all  future  scenarios  (see  the  following 
figure).
Comparing  the  2030-2050  period  with  the  1990-2020 
period, South America should already experience a signifi-
cant increase in days of heat waves in the RCP 2.6 scenario, 
especially in certain areas of Brazil, Colombia and northern 

Chile. Central America, the western coast of North Amer-
ica  and  the  southern  part  of  the  United  States  are  also 
forecast to see a significant increase in days characterized 
by heat waves in the RCP 2.6 scenario in the 2030-2050 
period compared with the benchmark.
In  general,  the  increase  in  the  number  of  days  with  heat 
waves will be even more pronounced in the RCP 8.5 sce-
nario across the continent.

Extreme precipitation 
Intense rainfall can be analyzed by estimating the change in 
daily rainfall above the 95th percentile, calculated in terms 
of average annual millimeters in the reference periods.
In  central  and  southern  Europe,  the  expected  change  in 
acute  precipitation  in  the  2030-2050  period  compared 
with 1990-2020 varies from area to  area  and depending 
on the scenario considered.
Specifically,  under  the  RCP  2.6  scenario,  Italy  is  expect-
ed  to  experience  a  more  significant  increase  in  extreme 
rainfall  in  the  north-east  and  along  the  Tyrrhenian  coast, 

while the phenomenon is expected to decrease along the 
Adriatic coast, in the south and the islands. Under the RCP 
8.5 scenario, extreme precipitation is expected to increase 
in most of Italy, except in the islands and some areas of the 
center and south-west, where the data point to a slight in-
crease. In Spain, changes are expected in extreme precipi-
tation in most of the territory already in the RCP 2.6 scenar-
io. In particular, intense precipitation will increase slightly in 
some areas of the north, but will decrease in the south-east. 
In the RCP 8.5 scenario, heavy rainfall will decrease across 
the south of the country and the north-west.

66

Integrated Annual Report 2023

Future  changes  in  intense  rainfall  will  differ  considerably 
in the Americas as well. In some areas of South America, 
such as north and east Brazil, northern Argentina and cen-
tral-southern Chile, reductions from the historical trends 
are projected to occur under the RCP 2.6 scenario. In oth-
er areas, however, such as in most of Colombia and other 
areas of Brazil, intense rainfall is forecast to increase. In al-
most all of North America, acute precipitation is expected 
to increase in the RCP 2.6 scenario compared with the his-
torical average (although the magnitude of these increas-
es varies from area to area). In Mexico, however, the future 
change  varies  depending  on  the  area.  Finally,  under  the 
RCP 2.6 scenario, intense rainfall will decrease in the cen-
tral and southern areas of Central America. In other areas, 
rainfall levels will remain unchanged or increase slightly.

Fire risk
Fire risk can be studied using the Fire Weather Index (FWI), 
an indicator widely used internationally that takes account 
of  temperature,  humidity,  rainfall,  and  wind  in  order  to 
calculate an estimate of fire risk. Figures provided by the 
ICTP may be used to describe the trend in fire risk in order 
to support the business in properly managing this risk. To 
give  a  more  complete  representation  of  fire  risk,  we  can 
supplement  analysis  on  this  acute  phenomenon  with  a 
study of vegetation indices, since vegetation can serve as 
fuel and increase the probability of a fire spreading.(29)
In  central  and  southern  Europe,  the  number  of  days  per 
year  experiencing  extreme  fire  risk  (i.e.  those  with  a  FWI 
value > 45) will tend to increase almost everywhere in the 
2030-2050 period compared with the 1990-2020 bench-
mark. The studies conducted for Italy show that the num-
ber of days at high risk increase in all scenarios, especially 
in the summer. This change will be even more accentuated 
under the RCP 8.5 scenario and mainly affect the islands 
and southern regions of the country. In general, in these 
areas the increase in the number of days at extreme risk 
ranges from approximately +6 to +11 days compared with 
the historical average. The area of Spain that will see the 
greatest increase in fire risk is the central south in all fu-
ture scenarios. This increase is larger in the RCP 8.5 sce-
nario than in the RCP 2.6 scenario.

In the Americas, the expected evolution of extreme fire risk 
varies from area to area. In South America, in the RCP 2.6 
scenario the number of days at high first risk increases in 
most of Brazil and Chile and in the north-west and south of 
Argentina. In the remaining areas of the macroregion it re-
mains unchanged or decreases slightly. In North and Cen-
tral America, high fire risk remains essentially unchanged 
in most of the macroregion in the RCP 2.6 scenario. Only 
in the western areas of the United States and Mexico are 
increases in the number of days at high risk expected, with 
the increase rising as the scenario become more severe.

Cold snaps
A number of indicators can be used to measure extreme 
cold-related events.(30) One of these is the frost days index, 
i.e. the average number of frost days per year.(31)
Comparing  the  RCP  2.6  scenario  (2030-2050)  with  the 
historical benchmark (1990-2020), in central and southern 
Europe  the  number  of  frost  days  will  remain  unchanged 
or  decrease  slightly  in  all  countries.  Only  in  some  areas, 
such as the Alps in Italy and the Pyrenees in Spain, will the 
number of days of intense cold decrease (from -5 to -10 
days compared with the historical benchmark). Under the 
RCP 8.5 scenario, the decrease in frost days is expected 
to be more geographically extensive. In northern Italy and 
in  some  Apennine  areas  of  the  peninsula  and  in  part  of 
northern and central Spain, the forecast is for a reduction 
of up to 15 days of frost per year, again compared with the 
benchmark period.
In most of the Americas, the number of frost days will re-
main unchanged under both RCP scenarios; only in some 
areas  are  decreases  expected.  Latin  America  will  experi-
ence a decline in frost days in some central-western and 
southern areas, and the decrease will be larger under the 
RCP 8.5 scenario compared with the RCP 2.6. Frost days 
will  decrease  in  North  America  and  Central  America,  es-
pecially in the western part of the macroregion, with larger 
and more extensive declines under the RCP 8.5 scenario.
Note that a decrease in frequency does not exclude an in-
crease in the intensity of these acute events, an issue that 
the Group is currently investigating.

(29)  One of the metrics used is obtained using NASA data for the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). NDVI quantifies vegetation by measuring the 
difference between near-infrared light (which vegetation reflects strongly) and red light (which vegetation absorbs). This is a good indicator of vegetation 
growth and density. The higher the NDVI, the more abundant and healthier the vegetation.

(30)  In addition to the standard indices reported in the scientific literature, ad hoc metrics have also been developed to better study the phenomenon at the 

technology level.

(31)  Frost days are days in which the minimum temperature (Tmin) is less than 0 °C.

Europe: heat waves and climate change

In the summer of 2023, Europe was overwhelmed 
by heat waves, with exceptionally high temperatures 
combining with drought and wind to drive the 
spread of fires. These events fall within a pattern of a 
significant increase in extreme physical phenomena 
in recent decades. However, it is important to 
understand how and to what extent these events 
are connected to climate change driven by human 
activities. This is not an easy task, but studies of 
individual events can help. “Event attribution” science 
seeks to do just this, providing explanations based 
on science and thus avoiding the dissemination of 
misleading or false information. By studying surface 
pressure, temperature variables and past events, it 
is possible to establish that phenomena such as the 
long and intense heat wave of July 2023 (Cerberus) 
are above all attributable to natural climate variability. 
By contrast, the anomalous heat wave of August 21-

23 that hit central and western Europe was a unique 
event that can largely be attributed to anthropogenic 
climate change.(32)
In general, event attribution studies indicate that, on 
average, in Europe:
•   a heat wave that in the pre-industrial climate 

would have occurred 1 time every 10 years is now 
expected to occur 2.8 times within 10 years and will 
be 1.2 °C warmer. With a rise of +2 °C by 2100, it 
will occur 5.6 times and be 2.6 °C warmer;
•   a heat wave that in the pre-industrial climate 

would have occurred 1 time every 50 years is now 
expected to occur 4.8 times over 50 years and will 
be 1.2 °C warmer. With +2° C of global warming, it 
will occur 13.9 times and be 2.7 °C warmer.

It should be emphasized that these numbers refer 
to moderate heat waves. More extreme events may 
be up to a hundred times more likely due to climate 
change.

Chronic phenomena

Temperature
Chronic temperature changes can be analyzed to obtain 
information about the potential effects on the cooling and 
heating demand of local energy systems. The thermal re-
quirement has been measured using Heating Degree Days 
(HDDs), i.e. the sum, for all days of the year with a Taverage ≤ 
15 °C, of the differences between the internal temperature 
(with  Tinternal  assumed  to  be  18  °C)  and  the  average  tem-
perature, and Cooling Degree Days (CDDs), i.e. the sum, for 
all days of the year with Taverage ≥ 24 °C, of the differences 

between Taverage and Tinternal (assumed to be 21 °C), respec-
tively, for heating and cooling requirements. The country 
averages  have  been  calculated  as  an  average  over  the 
country, weighting each geographical node by population 
thanks to the use of the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways 
(SSPs)  associated  with  each  RCP  scenario.  Since  CDD  is 
the variable that experiences the greatest change, the fig-
ure shows CDDs at high resolution for the historical data 
and the average variation expected in the RCP 2.6 scenar-
io in the 2030-2050 period for Europe and South America. 
The distribution of the population used as a weight for the 
calculation at the national level is also shown. 

(32)  The conclusions on the heat waves that occurred in the summer of 2023 were derived from analyses conducted by members of the scientific community 

using the experimental “ClimaMeter” framework. More information is available at the following link: https://www.climameter.org/home.

In general, in 2030-2050 CDDs show a rising trend, always 
exceeding the historical data, with increases in all the var-
ious  scenarios.  This  agrees  with  the  increase  in  average 
temperatures predicted by climate models, which is then 
also  reflected  in  an  increase  in  cooling  needs.  Heating

requirement. The table reports the country-level percent-

Precipitation
Another chronic phenomenon of interest is the change in 
total precipitation due to climate change, which could im-
pact hydroelectric generation. Changes in this phenome-
non in the areas of interest for the Group have therefore 
been analyzed. The analysis of European catchment areas, 
which compared the 2030-2050 forecast with 1990-2020, 
points to no significant change, with a generalized slightly 
downward  trend  in  central  and  southern  Italy  and  Spain 
under the RCP 2.6 scenario. 
As  regards  South  America,  the  analyses,  which  compare 
the  same  time  intervals,  show  a  downward  trend  in  Ar-

gentina and Colombia. Brazil is projected to experience a 
slight increase or decrease in total rainfall under the RCP 
2.6 scenario depending on the group of catchment areas 
considered.  Finally,  as  with  Argentina  and  Colombia,  the 
projections for Chile also point to a reduction in total rain-
fall in the scenario with the lowest emissions, but this may 
have already manifested itself in recent years (with a real 
decrease on historic norms).
Comparing  the  various  RCPs  (2030-2050)  and  the  his-
torical  model  (1990-2020),  expected  total  annual  rainfall 
tends to decline in Central America, while in North America 
it will remain the same or increase depending on the area.

Overall effect of the transition and physical  
scenarios on electricity demand 

The use of integrated energy system models described in 
the section “Local transition scenarios” makes it possible 
to  quantify  the  individual  service  demand  of  a  country. 
This  makes  it  possible  to  discriminate  the  specific  long-
term  effects  that  a  change  in  temperature  can  have  on 
energy  demand.  For  this  purpose,  the  Reference,  Slower 
Transition and Accelerated Transition scenarios described 
above have been expanded to include the effect that tem-
perature increases have on energy demand (total, not just 
electricity)  for  residential  and  commercial  heating  and 
cooling,  as  measured  in  terms  of  Heating  Degree  Days 
(HDDs) and Cooling Degree Days (CDDs). 
The  definition  of  a  benchmark  scenario  consistent  with 
achieving the Paris objectives makes it possible to associ-
ate HDDs and CDDs consistent with the RCP 2.6 scenario 
to the Reference scenario and the Accelerated Transition 
scenario,  which  is  characterized  by  a  faster  decline  in 
emissions. HDDs and CDDs consistent with RCP 4.5 were 
instead  associated  with  the  Slower  Transition  scenario, 
because it corresponds to a slower decline in greenhouse 
gas  emissions.  To  stress  the  analyses  further,  the  latter 
scenario was also associated with RCP 8.5.

Italy and Spain

For Italy, the change in the level of electricity demand be-
tween the two extreme scenarios considered (Slower and 
Accelerated  Transition)  due  to  transition  phenomena  is 
about 18 percentage points on average in the 2031-2050 
period.  Excluding  the  effect  of  electricity  demand  for 
green  hydrogen  production,  the  difference  in  electricity 
demand falls to 8%.
As regards Spain, the percentage differences due to tran-
sition phenomena are smaller than in Italy, since the exist-
ing National Energy Plan sets particularly ambitious climate 
objectives. Consequently, less variability is expected in the 
evolution  of  the  energy  system  and  therefore  electricity 
demand in the 2031-2050 period. The delta between the 
two  extreme  cases  considered  (Slower  and  Accelerated 
Transition)  is  around  10  percentage  points  on  average 
in  2031-2050.  If  we  exclude  the  effect  of  electricity  de-
mand for hydrogen production, the difference narrows to 
around 2%.
For both countries, the speed of the energy transition has 
a much greater impact on the level of electricity demand 
than  the  effects  of  the  increase  in  temperature  deriving 
from climate change, as the analyses performed show how 
the latter causes demand to increase by less than one per-
centage point for both Italy and Spain.

In order to further investigate the effect of temperature on 
the transition scenarios and at the same time expand the 
range  of  assumptions  regarding  climate  change,  a  sen-
sitivity analysis was conducted by associating the Slower 

Transition scenario to RCP 8.5 in addition to RCP 4.5. The 
analysis  found  that  on  average  the  change  in  electricity 
demand due to a deterioration in the climate scenario in 
2031-2050 was negligible.

Note that in future years greater than expected electrifi-
cation of heating in buildings could change both the sign 
and the size of the temperature effect in both countries. 

It is therefore necessary to monitor developments in the 
share of electrification of heating during the annual review.

Latin America

In Latin America, the impact of temperature trends, quan-
tified through the Heating Degree Days (HDDs) and Cool-
ing Degree Days (CDDs) metrics, was estimated using inte-
grated energy system models for Brazil, Chile and Colom-
bia, similar to the approach adopted for Italy and Spain, as 
discussed above. Econometric forecasting models based 
on historical elasticity were used for Argentina.

In  the  case  of  Brazil,  the  transition  effect  considered  in-
dividually (i.e. excluding the impact of an increase in tem-
perature), electricity demand in the Slower Transition sce-

nario is approximately 6% lower on average in 2031-2050 
compared with the Reference scenario, given the different 
levels of ambition of the two scenarios in both 2030 and 
2050.  In  the  Accelerated  Transition  scenario,  the  slightly 
higher ambition in the Reference scenario is achieved via 
faster  electrification.  Accordingly,  the  electricity  demand 
delta in 2031-2050 averages around a positive 3-4%. Also 
in this case, the speed of the energy transition has a much 
greater impact on the level of electricity demand than the 
negligible effects of the increase in temperature deriving 
from climate change.

Here, too, a sensitivity analysis was carried out by associ-
ating  the  Slower  Transition  scenario  with  RCP  8.5  in  ad-
dition  to  RCP  4.5.  For  Brazil,  an  assumption  of  a  further 
temperature increase produces an increase in long-term 

demand of close to zero (2031-2050). The effect is not sig-
nificant given that the delta in the CCDs for Brazil is one of 
the smallest among the countries analyzed.

For Chile, electricity demand is reduced by transition ef-
fects considered individually by about 10% on average in 
2031-2050  in  the  Slower  Transition  scenario  compared 
with  the  Reference  scenario,  given  the  different  levels  of 
ambition  of  the  two  scenarios.  This  difference  is  main-
ly due to assumptions regarding the achievement  of  the 
country’s  ambitious  targets  for  green  hydrogen  produc-
tion after 2030 set out in the document Planificación En-
ergética  Nacional  de  Largo  Plazo  (PELP).  If  the  effect  of 
electricity  demand  for  hydrogen  production  –  for  which 
the two scenarios have different levels of ambition in re-
lation  to  the  different  decarbonization  trajectories  –  is 
omitted, the difference declines to about 6%. In the Accel-
erated Transition scenario, the greater ambition of the en-

ergy transition is achieved through the implementation of 
more stringent decarbonization policies to achieve great-
er  electrification,  greater  penetration  of  green  hydrogen 
in  industry  and  transport  and  increased  exports  of  that 
hydrogen. This leads to an average increase of about 11% 
in  electricity  demand  over  the  baseline  of  the  Reference 
scenario in 2031-2050. Excluding the effect of electricity 
demand connected with the production of green hydro-
gen, electricity demand is an average of about 12% higher 
than in the Reference scenario in the 2031-2050 period. 
Once again, the speed of the energy transition has a much 
greater impact on the level of electricity demand than the 
increase in temperature caused by climate change.

In the case of Colombia, transition effects reduce electric-
ity demand in the Slower Transition scenario by about 36% 
in  the  period  2031-2050  compared  with  the  Reference 
scenario, mainly reflecting the significant difference in the 
ambition of the two scenarios. The Slower Transition was 
defined by taking as a starting point the most prudent sce-
nario in the national government plan (Hoja de Ruta de la 
Transición Energética Justa), characterized by limited de-
carbonization, which therefore leads to a much lower level 

of  electrification  than  in  the  Reference  scenario.  On  the 
other hand, the difference between the Reference scenar-
io  and  the  Accelerated  Transition  scenario  shows  an  in-
crease of about 14% due to the transition alone, while the 
climate effect is less than 1%. This reflects the increase in 
electrification resulting from much more ambitious decar-
bonization goals. The effect of hydrogen is not particularly 
relevant in the scenarios analyzed.

Finally, as regards Argentina, the analyses performed show 
that an increase in temperature could increase electrici-
ty demand by between 0.4% and 0.8% (calculated as the 
average of demand forecasts for the 2031-2050 period). 
This estimate is highly dependent on the effect that mac-

roeconomic conditions in the country might have on elec-
tricity  demand.  As  a  result,  it  is  affected  by  a  significant 
degree of uncertainty given the high volatility of the per-
formance of the Argentine economy.

GROUP  
STRATEGY

Determination of the Group’s strategy is based on an as-
sessment of options that will enable the sustainable gen-
eration of value for all stakeholders, ensuring flexibility and 
focusing on risk mitigation. 

Key to this is the assessment of the external environment 
and its evolution. To determine the framework in which we 
operate, we conduct in-depth scenario planning in order 
to be prepared to seize opportunities and manage future 
risks  and  uncertainties  in  the  most  robust  manner  pos-
sible.  This  analysis  of  what  could  happen  in  the  external 
landscape is key to defining the Group’s positioning within 
that landscape. We then define our long-term ambitions 
and  design  the  strategic  options  that  characterize  our 
long-term planning. 

In  recent  years,  the  increasing  complexity  of  the  rapidly 
changing context in which we operate has made it so that 
the  process  of  defining  the  Group’s  strategies  has  also 
evolved in order to capture as much of this dynamism as 
possible, so as to make it an enabling factor in the defini-
tion of goals. 

Today,  this  process  is  organized  into  the  following  main 
activities:
•  Strategic Dialogue: a continuous process of active di-
alogue throughout the year and across all Group func-
tions, through which the strategic topics for the evolu-
tion and growth of the Group are identified, analyzed, 
discussed  and  addressed.  This  dialogue  is  part  of  a 
strategic design phase, where communication among 
executives makes a valuable contribution to developing 
new  strategic  options,  with  an  emphasis  on  the  need 
for cultural or organizational change and synergies be-
tween businesses. 

•  Strategic  Planning:  this  process,  which  is  driven  on 
an ongoing basis by feedback from the strategic dia-
logue, transforms the information to be processed into 
quantitative  models  in  order  to  establish  an  overview 
of  the  industrial,  economic  and  financial  evolution  of 
the  Group,  supplemented  by  possible  active  portfolio 
management. The evaluation of strategic options over 
a  time  horizon  extends  beyond  that  used  in  industrial 

planning, with (i) the definition and the quantitative and 
qualitative  development  of  alternative  macroeconom-
ic,  energy  and  climate  scenarios  against  which  overall 
strategy  can  be  assessed,  and  (ii)  analyses  based  on 
stress  testing  for  various  factors,  including  the  evolu-
tion  of  the  industrial  sector,  technology,  competitive 
structure, climate variables and policies.

•  Long-term  positioning:  consistent  with  the  analyses 
and  decisions  described  in  the  previous  points,  and 
basing  on  our  ambitions  for  environmental  and  eco-
nomic-financial sustainability and the opportunities to 
be seized on the market, the Group’s positioning is de-
fined with regard to the long-term industrial strategy. 
•  Analysis of ESG factors and assessment of materiality 
in the field of sustainability: Enel assesses ESG issues in 
order to identify and evaluate priorities for stakehold-
ers, conducting a double materiality analysis to deter-
mine the material issues that support the definition of 
the objectives to be included in the strategic sustain-
ability  planning.  This  analysis  takes  into  consideration 
the  ESRS  standards  of  the  European  Sustainability 
Reporting  Directive  (CSRD)  as  well  as  numerous  other 
international standards (for example, the Global Report-
ing Initiative - GRI, SASB, SDG Compass, etc.).

The  strategy  of  the  Enel  Group  has  proven  its  ability  to 
create  sustainable  long-term  value,  fully  integrating  the 
themes  of  sustainability  and  close  attention  to  climate 
change  issues  while  simultaneously  ensuring  increased 
profitability for stakeholders. 
The Group is among the leaders guiding the energy transi-
tion through the decarbonization of electricity generation, 
digitalization  of  distribution  grids  and  the  electrification 
of  final  consumption,  which  represent  opportunities  to 
create  value  and  to  accelerate  achievement  of  the  Paris 
Agreement  objectives  and  the  Sustainable  Development 
Goals set by the United National in the 2030 Agenda. The 
Group also supports the principles of a just transition, as 
defined  in  the  Just  Transition  Guidelines  of  the  Interna-
tional Labor Organization (ILO), so that no one is left be-
hind, in light of the social impact that the decarbonization 
strategy  entails,  while  ensuring  respect  for  human  rights 
throughout the value chain.

STRATEGIC PLAN

Response to the current climate

Short-term global uncertainties have forced power com-
panies  to  increase  flexibility  and  improve  visibility  of  re-
turns. In the medium and long term, grids will have to be 
able  to  cope  with  increased  electricity  demand  as  elec-
trification  expands,  and  the  growing  proportion  of  re-
newables in the energy mix (including through distributed 
generation). Furthermore, the expected growth in renew-
ables capacity will require battery storage in order to bal-
ance supply and demand.

In this scenario, the Group plans to allocate its investments 
efficiently.  Regulated  businesses  will  be  at  the  center  of 
the  Group’s  strategy,  seeking  to  improve  quality  and  re-

silience and integrating new renewables capacity, with the 
support  of  advantageous  regulatory  frameworks.  Invest-
ment decisions in renewables will be more selective, aim-
ing for a positioning that maximizes returns and mitigates 
risks, also leveraging Partnership business models. Finally, 
the  Group  plans  to  optimize  its  customer  portfolio  and 
end-to-end  processes,  increasing  efficiency  in  customer 
acquisition and management, improving customer loyalty 
through bundled offers and promoting the electrification 
of consumption. Generation and retail will be managed to-
gether in a flexible approach to the sourcing strategy, with 
the aim of improving profitability.

The 2024-2026 Strategic Plan 

The Group’s 2024-2026 Strategic Plan is founded on three 
pillars:
•  profitability,  flexibility  and  resilience  through  high-
ly  selective  capital  allocation,  aimed  at  optimizing  the 
Group’s risk/return profile;

•  efficiency  and  effectiveness  as  drivers  of  the  Group’s 
operations, based on process simplification, leaner or-

ganization with defined responsibilities and a focus on 
core geographies, as well as the rationalization of costs 
in order to maximize cash generation and offset infla-
tionary pressures and the higher cost of capital;

•  financial  and  environmental  sustainability  to  pursue 
value creation in addressing the challenges of climate 
change.

Profitability, flexibility and resilience

Between  2024  and  2026,  the  Group  has  planned  total 
gross investments of about €35.8 billion. Given the current 
scenario, to implement a business model with less capital 
and risk intensity, the Group plans to:
•  increase the focus on grids, in order to benefit from fa-
vorable regulatory environments and at the same time 
gain  access  to  European  financing,  which  is  expected 
to  contribute  some  €3.5  billion  to  the  Group’s  total 
gross investments;

•  create partnerships for renewables projects in order to 
flexibly  invest  financial  resources  in  a  total  amount  of 
around €6.1 billion.

As a result, investments are expected to require less cash 
for  the  Group,  with  expected  net  investments  of  about 
€26.2 billion.

The  Group  confirms  that  it  intends  to  focus  its  invest-
ments in six core countries, above all where it can leverage 
an integrated position: specifically Italy, Spain, Brazil, Chile, 
Colombia and the United States.

Grids  –  Between  2024  and  2026  the  Group  has  planned 
gross investments of about €18.6 billion in Grids, of which 
about  €15.2  billion  net  of  grants.  The  allocation  of  capi-

tal in grids is adapted in accordance with the planned re-
turns in each country, with a concentration of investment 
in  geographical  areas  characterized  by  a  more  balanced 
and  clearer  regulatory  framework,  notably  in  Italy  where 
the Group plans to allocate about €12.2 billion in gross in-
vestments. Thanks to this capital allocation, ordinary EBIT-
DA connected with Grids is expected to reach about €8.4 
billion in 2026.

cally, the Group plans to invest in onshore wind, solar and 
battery storage. A key factor will be innovation, using re-
powering to increase the efficiency of plants and reduce 
generation costs, as well as storage batteries to enhance 
the  flexibility  of  the  electricity  system  and  load  manage-
ment.

Furthermore, regarding the decarbonization process, the 
Plan  envisages  gradually  eliminating  investments  in  new 
carbon-intensive assets until their complete elimination in 
2025. In particular, the Group expects to invest less than 
3% of gross 2024-2026 investment in thermal generation, 
most of which will be dedicated to maintenance of existing 
plants, while investment in the development of new plants 
will be substantially limited to the conversion from coal to 
CCGT of the Fusina power plant, which is expected to be 
completed by 2024.
More  than  90%  of  the  Group’s  total  investment  in  2024-
2026  is  in  line  with  the  United  Nations  Sustainable  De-
velopment  Goals  (SDGs)  and  directly  work  towards  SDGs 
7  (“Affordable  and  Clean  Energy”),  9  (“Industry,  Innova-
tion  and  Infrastructure”)  and  11  (“Sustainable  Cities  and 
Communities”), all of which help to achieve SDG 13 (“Cli-
mate Action”). The alignment of investments stated in the 
Group’s Strategic Plan with the objectives of decarboniza-
tion and the reduction of greenhouse gases is based on a 
specific approach by which investment in renewables and 
retail power, by their nature, fall under SDG 7, investment 
in distribution networks fall under SDG 9, and investments 
by Enel X concern SDG 11. Of the above, more than 90% 
thereby excludes investment in conventional power gen-
eration (including maintenance) and in retail gas. 
Furthermore, we expect that more than 80% of all Group 

investment will continue to be in line with the EU taxonomy 
over the period covered by the Plan, given their substantial 
contribution to mitigating climate change. 

Between 2024 and 2026, this new approach is expected to 
enable the Group to build approximately 13.4 GW of new 
renewables  capacity  across  all  the  geographical  areas  in 
which it operates. In 2026, the Group’s renewables capac-
ity is expected to increase to approximately 73 GW, from 
about  62  GW  in  2023,  with  the  share  of  zero-emission 
generation  reaching  around  86%,  compared  with  75%  in 
2023 (including managed capacity).

In  the  Customer  segment,  the  Group  has  planned  gross 
investments of about €3 billion between 2024 and 2026. 
The main driver of the Group strategy in this segment will 
be  the  strengthening  of  customer  centricity  thanks  to  a 
single  touchpoint  for  business-to-consumer  (B2C)  cus-
tomers  and  small  and  medium-sized  enterprises  (SMEs), 
key accounts dedicated to the main business-to-business 
(B2B)  and  business-to-government  (B2G)  customers,  as 
well as bundled offers.
Thanks to these initiatives, the ordinary EBITDA of the In-
tegrated  Businesses  is  expected  to  reach  around  €15.5 
billion in 2026, with renewables as the main growth factor 
over the Plan period.

Efficiency and effectiveness 

The  Group’s  strategic  actions  will  be  guided  by  financial 
balance.  Between  2024  and  2026,  the  Group  expects  to 
increase  its  cash  generation,  with  total  cash  flows  funds 
from operations (FFO) equal to about €43.8 billion, which 
are expected to fully meet cash requirements for net in-
vestments and dividends.

Compared with the cost baseline for 2022, the Group ex-
pects to achieve an overall cost reduction of approximate-
ly €1.2 billion in 2026, of which about €1 billion in efficiency 
gains achieved by reorganizing business processes, ratio-
nalizing organization, optimizing mix between insourcing 

and  outsourcing  as  well  as  adopting  standards  and  us-
ing better technologies to be adapted depending on the 
country involved. Further savings of about €0.2 billion are 
expected in regulated businesses.

These  initiatives  are  also  supported  by  the  divestment 
plan, which has been partly redefined to focus on a portfo-
lio rotation guided by asset value. The implementation of 
the divestment plan is expected to have a positive impact 
on net financial debt estimated at about €11.5 billion be-
tween 2023 and 2024. 

Financial and environmental sustainability 

The  generation  of  cash  flow,  rationalization  of  costs 
and  optimization  of  processes  is  expected  to  boost  the 
Group’s creditworthiness.
Over the next three years, the Group plans to reduce the 
average  cost  of  gross  borrowing  by  20  basis  points,  de-
spite the high interest rate environment, to about 3.8% in 
2026, down from 4.0% at the end of 2023, mainly thanks 
to centralized refinancing.

On  the  environmental  sustainability  front,  the  Group  in-
tends to continue to reduce its direct and indirect green-

house gas emissions, in line with the Paris Agreement and 
with the 1.5 °C scenario, as certified by the Science Based 
Targets  initiative  (SBTi).  Specifically,  the  Group  confirms 
its  objective  of  closing  all  remaining  coal  plants  by  2027, 
subject to authorization from the competent authorities. 
As  regards  the  conversion  of  coal  plants,  the  Group  will 
evaluate the best technologies available, based on the re-
quirements indicated by transmission grid operators. The 
Group confirms its ambition to achieve zero emissions in 
all scopes by 2040.

Financial targets

Group ordinary EBITDA is expected to increase from €22 
billion in 2023 to between €23.6 billion and €24.3 billion in 
2026. Group ordinary profit is expected to increase from 
€6.5 billion in 2023 to between €7.1 billion and €7.3 billion 
in 2026.

The Group confirms its simple and attractive dividend poli-
cy with a minimum fixed DPS of €0.43 for the period 2024-
2026, with a potential increase up to a payout of 70% of 
ordinary profit if cash neutrality is achieved. Cash neutral-
ity is achieved if FFO fully finance the Group’s net invest-
ments and dividends beyond the minimum fixed DPS.

Climate change strategy

Overall framework and policies

Climate  change  is  the  world’s  primary  challenge  of  our 
century.  In  a  climate  such  as  this,  and  as  a  global  player 
in the energy market, Enel is on the front lines playing an 
active role in guiding the global energy transition towards 
zero  emissions  as  a  mitigating  lever  and  working  to  de-
termine  the  best  ways  to  adapt  to  the  changes  that  are 
inevitable to varying degrees of frequency and intensity.
Therefore,  the  work  Enel  is  doing  to  combat  climate 
change represents one of the pillars of the Group’s short- 
and long-term strategy.
Mitigation efforts include all those initiatives aimed at re-
ducing  the  impact  that  the  activities  of  the  Group  and 
our  stakeholders  have  on  climate  change,  and  first  and 
foremost those that aim to reduce the emission of green-
house gases.
Adaptations,  on  the  other  hand,  include  all  actions  that 
Enel implements to make assets more resilient, to increase 
our ability to react to extreme weather events, and to con-

Our zero-emissions ambition

Being among the first signatories of the “Business Ambi-
tion for 1.5 °C” campaign promoted by the United Nations 
and other organizations, the Enel Group has publicly de-
clared its commitment to developing a business model in 
line with the goals of the Paris Agreement (COP 21) to limit 
the average global temperature increase to 1.5 °C.
Enel’s commitment to combating climate change reached 
another historical milestone in 2022, with the Group defin-
ing a decarbonization roadmap covering both direct and 
indirect  emissions  throughout  the  Group’s  value  chain. 
This  roadmap  includes  four  targets  certified  by  the  Sci-
ence Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to be in line with limit-
ing global warming to 1.5 °C.
Enel’s new certified targets come on the back of our am-
bition declared in 2021, when we moved up our commit-
ment to achieving zero emissions by 10 years, from 2050 
to 2040. 
Enel’s  ambition  goes  beyond  the  SBTi  certified  targets 
and  aims  to  pave  the  way  to  becoming  a  zero-emission 
organization  by  2040.  Our  certified  roadmap  currently 
calls  for  reducing  all  direct  and  indirect  greenhouse-gas 
(GHG) emissions by about 99% from 2017 levels by 2040 
throughout our value chain, which is well above the over-
all  threshold  set  by  international  standards  (of  90%).  The 

ceive business models and other strategic options target-
ing various needs in this constantly changing climate. 
In each of these two areas, the challenges present oppor-
tunities that we will seize through Group strategy. Here at 
Enel,  adapting  to  climate  change  also  means  exploring 
new  business  opportunities  to  come  out  of  the  chang-
ing  landscape,  developing  new  technologies,  and  creat-
ing  value  from  the  capabilities  acquired.  The  mitigation 
of climate change also involves investing in research into 
innovative technologies that will enable an economy that 
is  green  by  design  or  that,  for  example,  improve  perfor-
mance and circularity. 
The experience we gain and our study of possible climate 
scenarios  that  have  been  seen  above  also  play  a  crucial 
role in guiding both areas of action. As we will discuss in 
the section related to climate change risks and opportu-
nities, the Group has also established internal policies for 
the assessment and management of these challenges.

Group  also  aims  to  reduce  all  emissions  by  100%  with  a 
view to overcoming, over the short to medium term, all ex-
ogenous factors, such as the development of new techno-
logical solutions for the supply chain over a wide scale or 
the implementation of certain market-based and political 
strategies.  Enel  actively  collaborates  with  vendors,  cus-
tomers and policymakers to promote solutions and accel-
erate necessary actions.
Enel’s decarbonization roadmap is centered around pro-
moting  electrification  solutions,  accompanied  by  com-
pleting the full phase-out of fossil fuels and accelerating 
the  development  of  renewables,  as  well  as  going  digital 
and upgrading grids. Aware of the social impact that the 
decarbonization  strategy  entails,  Enel  supports  the  prin-
ciples of a just transition, as defined in the Just Transition 
Guidelines  of  the  International  Labor  Organization  (ILO), 
which is expressed in terms of actions involving retraining, 
professional updating and self-learning for direct and in-
direct workers, providing support with a view to business 
diversification and greater resilience for the supply chain, 
job opportunities for communities in our area of influence 
and facilitating access to products and services for cus-
tomers.

•  By 2026, Enel will bring renewables to around 78% of 
total capacity, including batteries and all managed ca-
pacity (Ownership, Partnership, Stewardship). In order 
to  accelerate  the  development  of  renewable  energy, 
for the period 2024-2026 the Group will invest €12.1 
billion, installing 13.4 GW of new installed renewables 
capacity  (leveraging  the  support  of  third  parties)  and 
reaching  73  GW  of  installed  renewables  capacity  by 
2026,  with  zero-emissions  generation  accounting 
for  about  86%  of  the  total  (including  managed  gen-
eration). In addition, progress in grid digitalization will 
increase the share of digital customers to 71%.

•  By 2027, Enel expects to complete the full phase-out 
of  all  coal-fired  plants,  converting  the  sites  to  other 

uses, taking account of the needs of the country sys-
tem.

•  By  2030,  continuing  the  investment  trend  already 
undertaken  in  recent  years  in  order  to  continue  ac-
celerating  the  energy  transition,  Enel  will  achieve  a 
renewables  capacity  of  about  85%  of  the  total  (in-
cluding  managed  generation),  bringing  the  share  of 
zero-emissions  generation  to  about  90%  (including 
managed  generation),  with  100%  of  grid  customers 
being fully digital.

•  By 2040, generation will be 100% renewable, and the 
Group will have exited both gas-fueled generation and 
the retail sale of gas, with 100% of the electricity sold 
coming from renewable sources.

Enel is committ ed to achieving zero emissions by 2040 
and to developing a business model that is in line 
with the objectives of the Paris Agreement (COP 21) 
to limit the average increase in global temperatures 

to 1.5 ºC. For this reason, the Group has developed a 
decarbonatization roadmap that covers both direct 
and indirect emissions throughout the value chain. The 
roadmap includes four targets cert ifi ed by the Science

(1)  Percentages based on total GHG emissions in 2023.
(2)  Excludes marginal Scope 1 GHG emissions not directly related to the combustion of fossil fuels in electricity generation at thermal plants. These emissions 
also include the use of ancillary services in distribution operations. In part icular, in 2023 there was an extraordinarily high use of these services in Brazil 
to deal with the meteorological emergency that occurred in São Paulo in November 2023, which caused the interruption of grid operations. In any event, 
95.8% of Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions are covered by all of the above targets, greater than the 95% threshold required under the Science Based 
Targets initiative and the GHG Protocol.

(3)  The target is in line with the path to 1.5 °C set by the SBTi for the electrical services industry (Sectoral Decarbonization Approach, or SDA), although it could 

(4) 

not be offi  cially validated because the SBTi does not cert ify targets over a time frame of less than fi ve years from the presentation date.
In 2023, gas sales decreased considerably compared with previous years. Furt hermore, a methodological change in the use of conversion factors has been 
implemented. These two factors produced a value below the target expected for 2026. 

(5)  The target could not be offi  cially validated because the SBTi does not cert ify targets over a time frame of less than fi ve years from the presentation date. In 

addition, the SBTi has not defi ned a sectoral decarbonization approach for these types of emissions, so the ambition level cannot be verifi ed.

(6)  Two diff erent percentage limits have been set for the target for Scope 3 GHG emissions by the supply chain, as allowed under the SBTi approach, which 

required coverage of at least 67% of Scope 3 emissions for the 2030 target, and at least 90% for the 2040 target.

Adaptation: resiliency and response to climate change  
and new options for the Group (Climate Adaptation Model)

The Group implements solutions to adapt to weather and 
climate events in order to effectively manage both chronic 
and acute situations for each business line and activity.
These adaptation solutions may concern both short-term 
actions and long-term decisions, such as planning for in-
vestments in response to weather events. Adaptation ef-
forts also include procedures, policies and best practices 
for resiliency, response and innovation. 
For  new  investment,  we  can  also  take  action  right  from 
the design and construction phases to reduce the impact 
of climate risks by design (e.g., by assessing risks and vul-
nerabilities during the design stage) and to take account 
of any chronic effects (e.g., including climate scenarios in 
long-term estimates for renewable resources). 

Once the weather and climate events have been identified, 
actions  to  maximize  our  capacity  for  adaptation  may  be 
categorized as follows.
•  Response  management  –  Procedures  to  prepare  the 
response to extreme events (e.g., acquiring short-term 
weather forecasts and training) and procedures to re-

store  normal  operations  as  quickly  as  possible  (e.g., 
defining  operating  and  organizational  procedures  to 
implement in response to critical events).

•  Resiliency measures – Actions aimed at increasing as-
set resiliency, such as assessing the entity of potential 
acute and chronic risks in order to define both design 
requirements and actions to take with regard to exist-
ing assets.

•  New business options – Conception of new businesses 
or products that are adapted to future changes in cli-
mate, so as to facilitate adaptation for both the Group 
and our communities and stakeholders. 

In  order  to  assess  the  impact  of  climate  change  for  the 
purpose of making business and strategy decisions, and 
thereby  aimed  at  implementing  adaptation  measures  in 
line with the above, the Group is investing in the develop-
ment of quantitative models that also make use of climate 
scenario  data  in  order  to  assess  the  impact  of  climate 
change on specific assets or areas of production.

Assessment of the risks and opportunities connected  
with the Strategic Plan

The  Group  Strategic  Plan  is  accompanied  by  a  careful 
analysis  of  the  risks  and  opportunities  connected  with 
those strategies.
Identifying  those  risks  and  opportunities  within  the  Enel 
Group’s  strategic  and  industrial  planning  process  is  de-
signed to improve the Group’s risk/return profile.
Although  the  strategy  underlying  the  Plan,  as  described 
above, envisages a phase of careful analysis and verifica-
tion  of  the  strategic  risk  factors  and  variables,  it  retains 
scenario  assumptions  regarding  future  events  that  will 
not necessarily occur or not occur to the extent assumed, 
as they depend on variables that cannot be controlled by 
management.  Upside  and  downside  developments  may 
occur as time unfolds. 
Before being able to approve the Strategic Plan, a quan-
titative analysis of the risks and opportunities associated 
with  the  Group’s  strategic  positioning  is  presented  an-
nually  to  the  Control  and  Risk  Committee  appointed  by 
the  Board  of  Directors.  In  particular,  risk  factors  such  as 
macroeconomic  and  energy  variables  (such  as  exchange 
rates, inflation, commodity prices and electricity demand), 
regulatory developments, weather and climate events and 
risks connected with the strategy are identified.
Based  on  the  nature  of  the  risk  and  opportunity  drivers, 
the analytical approach that best represents their volatility 
is selected. In particular, we perform a deterministic analy-

sis based on what-ifs of the possible evolution of the main 
market  and  business  variables  with  respect  to  the  main 
risk  factors  for  the  execution  of  the  Business  Plan  and  a 
probabilistic analysis to assess the variability of renewable 
resources.
Focusing  on  the  scenario  risk  analysis  for  the  Strategic 
Plan, exchange rates, electricity demand and the volatility 
of  energy  and  commodity  prices,  together  with  possible 
reviews of regulatory frameworks and possible changes in 
commercial and sourcing strategies, represent almost all 
the volatility of the drivers. In particular, in addition to the 
US  dollar  the  most  impacting  currencies  are  the  Chilean 
peso, the Colombian peso and the Brazilian real. Italy and 
Spain represent nearly all of the Group’s exposure to the 
impact  of  the  volatility  of  energy  prices  and  commodity 
price fluctuations on margins.
Examining the other risk factors, such as those connect-
ed with weather and climate events, we can see that geo-
graphical  diversification  significantly  reduces  the  expo-
sure to the risk associated with renewable resources – a 
highly positive factor considering the Group’s positioning 
and  the  steady  expansion  of  renewable  generation.  Fur-
thermore, with regard to climate change, the risk associ-
ated  with  chronic  effects  is  of  little  significance  over  the 
course of the three years of the Plan.

RISK  
MANAGEMENT

The Enel Group risk governance model

In performing its industrial and commercial activities, the 
Enel Group is exposed to risks that could impact its per-
formance  and  financial  position  if  not  effectively  moni-
tored, managed and mitigated.
In this regard, in line with the architecture of Enel’s internal 

control and risk management system (ICRMS), the Group 
has  also  adopted  a  risk  governance  model  based  on  a 
number of “pillars” described below, as well as a uniform 
taxonomy  of  risks  (the  “risk  catalogue”)  that  facilitates 
their management and organic representation.

The “pillars” of risk governance

Enel has adopted a reference framework for risk governance 
that is implemented in the real world through the establish-
ment of specific management, monitoring, control and re-
porting controls for each of the risk categories identified.

The  Group’s  risk  governance  model  is  in  line  with  the  best 
national and international risk management practices and is 
based on the following pillars:

POLICY

•  Lines of defense. The Group’s arrangements are struc-
tured along three lines of defense for risk management, 
monitoring and control activities, in compliance with the 
principle  of  segregating  roles  in  the  main  areas  in  re-
spect of significant risks.

•  Group  Risk  Committee.  This  body,  set  up  at  manage-
ment level and chaired by the Chief Executive Officer, is 
responsible for strategic guidance and risk management 
supervision through:
 – analysis of the main exposures and the main risk issues 

faced by the Group;

 – adoption of specific risk policies applicable to Group 
companies,  in  order  to  identify  roles  and  responsi-
bilities  in  risk  management,  monitoring  and  control 
processes, in compliance with the principle of organi-
zational separation between the units responsible for 
operations and those responsible for monitoring and 
controlling risks;

 – approval  of  specific  operating  limits,  authorizing, 
where necessary and appropriate, exceptions to these 
limits for specific circumstances or needs;

 – definition of risk response strategies.
The Group Risk Committee generally meets four times a 
year and can also be convened, where deemed neces-
sary, by the Chief Executive Officer and the head of the 
“Risk Control” unit, which forms part of the “Administra-
tion, Finance and Control” Function.

•  Integrated  and  widespread  system  of  local  risk  com-
mittees. The presence of specific local risk committees, 
organized in accordance with the main global business 
lines  and  geographical  areas  of  Group  operations  and 
chaired by their respective top managers, provides ad-
equate oversight of the most characteristic risks at the 
local  level.  The  coordination  of  these  committees  with 
the Group Risk Committee facilitates appropriate agree-
ment  with  Group  top  management  of  the  information 

92

Integrated Annual Report 2023

and mitigation strategies for the most significant expo-
sures, as well as local implementation of the guidelines 
and strategies defined at Group level.

•  Risk  Appetite  Framework  (RAF).  The  Risk  Appetite 
Framework constitutes the reference framework for de-
termining risk appetite and is an integrated and formal-
ized system of elements that enable the definition and 
application  of  a  single  approach  to  the  management, 
measurement and control of each risk. The RAF is sum-
marized  in  the  Risk  Appetite  Statement,  a  document 
that  summarily  describes  the  risk  strategies  identified 
and the indicators and/or limits applicable to each risk.
•  Risk policies. The allocation of responsibilities, coordi-
nation mechanisms and the main control activities are 
represented in specific policies and organizational doc-
uments  defined  in  accordance  with  specific  approval 
procedures involving the corporate structures directly 
involved.

•  Reporting.  Specific  and  regular  information  flows  on 
risk exposures and metrics, broken down at Group level 
and  by  individual  global  business  line  or  geographical 
area, allow Enel’s top management and corporate bod-
ies to have an integrated view of the Group’s main risk 
exposures, both current and prospective.

•  Risk Landscape Enel Group©. Acting on the basis of its 
risk governance arrangements and on the international 
risk management standard ISO 31000:2018, the Group 
constantly monitors risks using a process supported by 
a data visualization tool (e-Risk Landscape©). This sys-
tem  collects  and  organizes  information  coming  from 
the different geographical areas and business lines of 
the  Group,  categorizing  them  in  accordance  with  the 
definition in the Group’s risk catalogue. The monitoring 
and  control  process  involves  the  assignment  of  met-
rics based on the risk events’ probability of occurrence 
(likelihood) and the scale of potential economic-finan-
cial  impact,  providing  the  Group’s  top  management 
with  a  dynamically  updated  view  of  the  Group’s  risk 
profile and the associated management and mitigation 
actions.  These  dimensions,  modulated  through  repre-
sentative grids, provide an indication of the level of in-
dividual risks.

At December 31, 2023, the Enel Group monitored a set of 
about 300 risks, 11 of which were identified as Top Risks 
(with an above average likelihood and significant potential 
financial  impacts),  mainly  identified  as  regulatory  and  le-
gal/tax risks and/or uncertainties.

The  Group’s  risk  governance  model  is  in  line  with  the  best 

national and international risk management practices and is 

based on the following pillars:

With  regard  to  the  Top  Risks  identified  and  examined 
for the Plan period, we find the greater concentration of 
strategic  risks,  in  particular  legislative-regulatory  risks  (5) 
in  Italy  (3)  and  Spain  (2),  deriving  from  exposures  to  rate 
revisions,  the  renewal  of  concessions  and  recognition  in 

profitability  parameters.  As  regards  the  section  linked  to 
compliance risks (6), we find a concentration mainly linked 
to  tax  risks  in  Brazil  (4)  and  Italy  (1)  and  legal  risks  in  the 
United States (1).

The Group risk catalogue

Enel has adopted a risk catalogue that represents a point 
of reference at the Group level and for all corporate units 
involved  in  risk  management  and  monitoring  processes. 
The adoption of a common language facilitates the map-
ping and comprehensive representation of risks within the 
Group, thus facilitating the identification of the main types 

of  risk  that  impact  Group  processes  and  the  roles  of  the 
organizational units involved in their management.
The risk catalogue groups the types of risk into macro-cat-
egories, which include, as shown below, strategic, financial 
and operational risks, (non)-compliance risks, risks related 
to governance and culture as well as digital technology.

Strategic risks

This section provides disclosure on the following strategic 
risks:

•  Legislative and regulatory developments
•  Macroeconomic and geopolitical trends
•  Risks and strategic opportunities associated with climate change
•  Competitive environment

Legislative and regulatory developments

The Group operates in regulated markets and changes in 
the  operating  rules  of  the  various  systems,  as  well  as  the 
prescriptions and obligations characterizing them, impact 
the operations and performance of the Group.
Accordingly, Enel closely monitors legislative and regulatory 
developments, such as:
•  periodic  revisions  of  regulation  in  the  distribution  seg-

ment;

•  the liberalization of electricity markets, with special at-
tention being paid to the acceleration provided for in Ita-
ly and expected developments in South America;

•  developments  in  capacity  payment  mechanisms  in  the 

generation segment;

•  regulatory measures to shield users from impact of price 

developments.

In order to manage the risks associated with these devel-
opments,  Enel  has  intensified  its  relationships  with  local 
governance and regulatory bodies, adopting a transparent, 
collaborative  and  proactive  approach  in  addressing  and 
eliminating sources of instability in the legislative and regu-
latory framework.

98

Integrated Annual Report 2023

Macroeconomic and geopolitical trends

The considerable internationalization of the Group – which 
has a presence in many regions, including Europe, South 
America, North America and Africa – requires Enel to con-
sider country risk, i.e. risks of a macroeconomic, financial, 
institutional or social nature and those specifically associ-
ated with the energy sector whose occurrence could have 
a significant adverse impact on both revenue flows and the 
value of corporate assets. Enel has adopted a quantitative 
Open  Country  Risk  assessment  model  capable  of  moni-

toring the riskiness of the countries in which it operates. 
The  Open  Country  Risk  model  seeks  to  go  beyond  the 
more conventional definition of country risk, which focus-
es on the ability of a government to repay the debt it has 
issued, to offer a broader view of the risk factors that can 
impact a country. The model is divided into four risk com-
ponents:  economic,  institutional  and  political,  social,  and 
energy factors.

ECONOMIC FACTORS

INSTITUTIONAL AND 
POLITICAL FACTORS

SOCIAL FACTORS

ENERGY FACTORS

Open Country Risk is a quantitative model that extends the more conventional defi nition of country risk used in the existing literature by providing a more 
complete analysis of the risks involved, incorporating economic, fi nancial, political, climate and energy factors.

More  specifically,  the  Open  Country  Risk  model  has  the 
ambition to measure the economic resilience of individual 
countries, defined as the balance of their position with re-
spect to the rest of the world, the effectiveness of internal 
policies, the vulnerabilities of their banking and corporate 
system that might portend systemic crises and their attrac-
tiveness in terms of economic growth, and finally a quantifi-
cation of extreme climate events as a cause of stress at the 
environmental and economic level (economic factors). This 
is accompanied by an assessment of the robustness of the 
country’s institutions and political context (institutional and 
political  factors),  an  in-depth  analysis  of  social  phenome-
na, measuring the level of well-being, inclusion and social 
progress  (social  factors),  and  the  effectiveness  of  the  en-
ergy system and its positioning within the energy transition 
process, as these are all essential factors for evaluating the 
sustainability  of  investments  in  the  medium  to  long  term 
(energy factors). 

Specifically,  the  introduction  of  extreme  climate  events 
within  the  Open  Country  Risk  model  makes  it  possible  to 
develop a uniform assessment on the evolution of certain 
climate hazards at the country level on a global scale. 
Finally, with regard to the analysis of the energy transition 
process,  the  Open  Country  Risk  model  also  includes  risk 
and  opportunity  analyses  designed  for  forecasting  pur-
poses, quantifying the actions and the paths taken by the 
individual  countries.  For  example,  the  model  incorporates 
various  factors  reflecting  the  weight  of  renewable  sourc-
es in energy generation, the electrification process and the 
environmental sustainability of the national energy system, 
which together are crucial characteristics for evaluating the 
country’s potential growth and attractiveness in the medi-
um to long term.

Risks and strategic opportunities  
associated with climate change

The identification and management of 
risks connected with climate change and 
actions to seize opportunities

As  discussed  in  previous  sections,  the  energy  transition 
and climate change will impact Group activities in a variety 
of ways. 
In order to identify the main types of risk and opportuni-
ty and their impact on the business associated with them 
in  a  structured  manner  consistent  with  the  most  recent 
climate-change  reporting  standards,  we  have  adopted  a 
framework  that  explicitly  represents  the  main  relation-
ships  between  scenario  variables  and  types  of  risk  and 
opportunity for Group operations, specifying the strategic 
and operational approaches to managing them, compris-
ing mitigation and adaptation measures.
There are two main macro-categories of risks/opportuni-
ties: those linked to the evolution of the transition scenar-
ios  and  those  connected  with  developments  in  physical 
variables. The framework has been created with a view to 
ensuring overall consistency, making it possible to analyze 
and  evaluate  the  impact  of  transition  phenomena  (e.g., 
energy  context)  and  physical  phenomena  (e.g.,  climate 
change) within solid alternative scenarios, constructed us-
ing a quantitative and modeling approach combined with 
ongoing dialogue with both internal stakeholders and ex-
ternal authorities.
The  energy  transition  presents  risks  and  opportunities 
connected both with changes in the regulatory and legal 
context and trends in technology development and com-
petition,  electrification  and  customer  behavior  and  the 
consequent market developments.

Physical  risks  are  divided  in  turn  between  acute  (i.e.  ex-
treme  events)  and  chronic,  with  the  former  linked  to  ex-
tremely  intense  meteorological  conditions  and  the  latter 
to more gradual but structural changes in climate condi-
tions.
Extreme events expose the Group to the risk of prolonged 
unavailability of assets and infrastructure, the cost of re-
storing service, customer disruptions and so on. Chronic 
changes in climate conditions expose the Group to other 
risks  or  opportunities:  for  example,  structural  changes  in 
temperature  could  cause  changes  in  electricity  demand 
and have an impact on output, while alterations in rainfall 
or wind conditions could impact the Group’s business by 
increasing  or  decreasing  potential  electricity  generation. 
In general, adapting to the probable changes that will oc-
cur in the future also drives activities in the field of innova-
tion and strategic positioning: new businesses and better 
products could be found to live sustainably in the changed 
context.

The Enel Group is contributing to realizing the transition 
and  the  opportunities  that  may  arise.  As  discussed  pre-
viously,  our  strategic  choices,  which  are  already  strongly 
oriented  towards  the  energy  transition,  with  more  than 
90% of investments directed at improving a number of the 
Sustainable Development Goals, enable us to incorporate 
risk mitigation and opportunity maximization “by design”, 
adopting  a  positioning  that  takes  account  of  the  medi-
um-  and  long-term  phenomena  we  have  identified.  The 
strategic choices are accompanied by the operating best 
practices adopted by the Group.

Management approach

The Group is minimizing its exposure to risks 
through progressive decarbonization and the 
focus of the business on renewables, grids and 
customers. The business model is designed to 
maximize the benefits of our integrated position 
in the core countries and leveraging partnership 
and stewardship activities, which enables us to 
exploit the opportunities connected with the 
energy transition. The Group is also actively 
contributing to the formation of public policies 
through its advocacy efforts. These activities are 
conducted within platforms for dialogue with 
stakeholders that explore ambitious national 
decarbonization scenarios in the various 
countries in which Enel operates.  

The Group is maximizing opportunities by 
adopting a strategy founded on the energy 
transition, focusing on the electrification of 
energy consumption and the development of 
renewables and a geographical positioning 
in countries in which we have an integrated 
presence. Considering alternative transition 
scenarios, the Group assesses the impact of 
different commodity price trends, changes in the 
share of renewables in the generation mix and 
the electrification of final consumption.

The Group is maximizing opportunities thanks 
to its strong positioning in new businesses 
and "beyond commodity" services. In addition, 
considering alternative transition scenarios, the 
Group assesses the impact of different trends in 
the electrification of consumption.

The Group is maximizing opportunities thanks 
to its strong strategic positioning in new 
businesses and grids at the global level. With the 
penetration of direct and indirect electrification 
technologies, considering alternative scenarios, 
the Group assesses the potential opportunities 
for scaling existing and potential businesses and 
for the development of new solutions linked to 
digitalization and resilience of power grids.

The Group adopts best practices to manage the 
restoration of service as quickly as possible. We 
also work to implement investments in resilience 
(e.g., the Italian case). With regard to risk 
assessment in insurance, the Group has a loss 
prevention program for property risk that also 
assesses the main exposures to natural events, 
supported by preventive maintenance activities 
and internal risk management policies. 
Looking forward, the assessments will also 
include the potential impacts of long-term trends 
in the most significant climate variables.

The Group΄s geographical and technological 
diversification means that the impact of changes 
(positive and negative) in a single variable is 
mitigated at the global level. In order to ensure 
that operations always take account of weather 
and climate phenomena, the Group adopts a 
range of practices such as, for example, weather 
forecasting, real-time monitoring of generation 
plants and long-term climate scenarios to 
identify any chronic changes in renewable source 
availability.

The  framework  illustrated  above  also  highlights  the  rela-
tionships  that  link  the  physical  and  transition  scenarios 
with the potential impact on the Group’s business. 
These  effects  can  be  assessed  from  the  perspective  of 
three  time  horizons:  the  short  term  (1-3  years),  in  which 
sensitivity analyses based on the Strategic Plan presented 
to investors in 2023 can be performed; the medium term 
(until 2027-2034), in which it is possible to assess the ef-
fects  of  the  energy  transition;  and  the  long  term  (2035-
2050), in which chronic structural changes in the climate 
should  begin  to  emerge  in  addition  to  the  most  evident 
transition effects. 
In  order  to  facilitate  the  correct  identification  and  man-
agement  of  the  risks  and  opportunities  associated  with 
climate change, a Group policy was adopted in 2021 that 
describes  the  common  guidelines  for  assessing  these 
risks  and  opportunities.  The  “Climate  change  risks  and 
opportunities”  policy  defines  a  harmonized  approach  for 
integrating issues relating to climate change and the en-
ergy  transition  into  the  Group’s  processes  and  activities, 
thus informing industrial and strategic choices to improve 
business  resilience  and  long-term  sustainable  value  cre-
ation, in line with the adaptation and mitigation strategy. 
The main steps considered in the policy are described be-
low.

•  Prioritization  of  phenomena  and  scenario  analysis. 
These  activities  include  the  identification  of  physical 
and  transition  phenomena  relevant  to  the  Group  and 
the  consequent  preparation  of  the  scenarios  to  be 
considered,  which  are  developed  through  the  analy-
sis  and  processing  of  data  from  internal  and  external 
sources.  For  the  phenomena  so  identified,  functions 
can be developed to connect the scenarios (for exam-
ple, data on changes in renewable sources) to the oper-
ation of the business (for example, changes in expected 
potential output). 

•  Evaluation of impacts. This includes all the analyses and 
activities  needed  to  quantify  the  effects  at  an  opera-
tional, economic and financial level, consistent with the 
processes  in  which  they  are  integrated  (for  example, 
design of new buildings, evaluation of operational per-
formance, etc.).

•  Operational and strategic actions. The information ob-
tained  from  the  previous  activities  is  integrated  into 
processes,  informing  the  decisions  of  the  Group  and 
the business activities. Some examples of activities and 
processes that benefit from this are capital allocation, 
such  as  in  the  evaluation  of  investments  in  existing 
assets  or  new  projects,  the  development  of  resilience 
plans, risk management and financing activities, engi-
neering and business development.

The main sources of risk and opportunity from the evolu-
tion of transition scenarios and physical variables, the best 
practices for the operational management of weather and 
climate  phenomena,  and  the  qualitative  and  quantitative 
impact assessments performed to date are discussed be-
low. The above activities are performed on the foundation 
of an ongoing effort during the year to analyze, assess and 
manage  the  information  produced.  The  process  of  dis-
closing  information  on  the  risks  and  opportunities  con-
nected with climate change will be gradual and incremen-
tal from year to year, in line with the recommendations of 
the most recent climate-change reporting standards. 

Enel’s resilience to the energy transition  
and climate change
The  impacts  of  climate  change,  technological  evolution, 
the  evolution  of  policies  and  changes  in  macroeconom-
ic  fundamentals  and  geopolitical  and  market  conditions 
make it every more important to develop resilient business 
strategies,  i.e.  strategies  both  capable  of  withstanding 
external  shocks,  and  therefore  of  absorbing  the  causes 
of  potential  crises  and  thriving  even  when  external  con-
ditions change, whether slowly or rapidly, and sufficiently 
flexible to identify new opportunities and transform them 
into  actions.  Jointly  considering  the  factors  associated 
with  energy  transition  scenarios  and  the  various  climate 
change scenarios is therefore a prerequisite for long-term 
planning.
The  set  of  transition  and  climatic  scenarios  plays  a  role 
in  guiding  strategic  and  industrial  decisions,  taking  ac-
count,  for  example,  of  the  future  effects  of  temperature 
on electricity demand, the investments necessary to sup-
port  the  process  of  ever  greater  electrification  and  de-
carbonization,  the  evolution  of  the  market  environment 
and  of  consumer  habits.  Given  that  Enel’s  Strategic  Plan 
concentrates  more  than  90%  of  investment  on  combat-
ting climate change through the progressive expansion of 
generation from renewable sources and the development 
of  infrastructure  and  services  to  guide  energy  systems 
and customers towards progressive electrification, aiming 
at the same time at significantly reducing the use of fossil 
fuels and increasing quality and efficiency, the Group’s in-
vestments and activities delineate, by design, a long-term 
growth path that is in line with an energy transition consis-
tent with the Paris Agreement. 

The  application  of  long-term  climate  scenarios  enables 
the construction of adaptation plans for the Group’s asset 
and  business  portfolio.  Climate  scenarios  are  developed 
starting with the identification of the most relevant phys-
ical  phenomena  for  each  business  (such  as  heat  waves, 
extreme  rainfall,  fire  risk,  etc.),  to  produce  analyses  that 
provide  both  high-level  indicators  (such  as  comparable 

102 Integrated Annual Report 2023

country risk indices) and high-resolution data, which make 
it possible to study physical impacts at the single-site lev-
el. The approach applies to both the existing portfolio and 
new  investments.  More  details  on  new  investments  are 

described  in  the  dedicated  section  “Inclusion  of  climate 
change effects in the assessment of new projects”. 
Asset vulnerability assessment makes it possible to identi-
fy priority actions to increase resilience.

Transition phenomena: repercussions  
on our business, risks and opportunities

With regard to the risks and opportunities associated with 
transition  variables,  we  use  the  different  reference  sce-
narios in combination with the elements that make up the 
risk identification process (e.g., competitive context, long-
term vision of the industry, materiality analysis, technolog-

POLICY & REGULATION 

ical evolution, etc.) to identify the drivers of potential risks 
and  opportunities.  Priority  is  given  to  the  most  material 
phenomena.  The  main  risks  and  opportunities  identified 
within this framework are described below. 

Limits on emissions 
and carbon pricing

Laws and regulations that introduce more stringent emission limits by government action (non-mar-
ket driven) and market-based mechanisms.
•  Opportunities: command & control regulations and market-based mechanisms strengthening 

CO2 price signals to foster investment in carbon-free technologies.

•  Risks: lack of a coordinated approach among the various actors and policymakers involved and 
limited effectiveness of the policy instruments, with an impact on the speed of the trend towards 
electrification and decarbonization in the various sectors, compared with a decisive Group strat-
egy focused on the energy transition.

Policies and 
regulation for 
accelerating the 
transition and 
energy security

Introduction of policies, regulatory frameworks and revision of market design features incentiviz-
ing the energy transition, consequently guiding the energy system towards the use of renewable 
energy resources as the mainstream approach in the energy mixes of countries, greater electrifi-
cation of energy consumption, energy efficiency, flexibility of the electrical system and upgrading 
of infrastructure. 
•  Opportunities:  creation  of  a  more  favorable  framework  for  investment  in  renewable  energy, 
thanks  also  to  the  development  of  long-term  markets  (PPAs,  CfDs)  in  electricity  technologies 
and distribution grids in line with Group strategy.

•  Risks: slow administrative authorization processes, and ineffective market design and regulatory 
frameworks in core countries can reduce asset profitability and limit growth opportunities.

and adaption 
regulation 

To improve standards or introduce ad hoc mechanisms to incentivize investments in resilience in 
the context of the evolution of climate change.
•  Opportunities: benefits from investments that reduce the risk of impact on service quality, loss-

es on corporate assets and service continuity for customers and communities.

•  Risks:  in  the  case  of  especially  severe  extreme  events  with  a  greater-than-expected  impact, 
there is a risk that recovery could be slower than planned, with an associated reputational risk.

Financial measures 
for the energy 
transition

Development  of  policies  and  financial  instruments  that  encourage  the  energy  transition,  which 
should be capable of supporting an investment framework and a long-term, credible and stable 
positioning of policymakers. Introduction of rules and/or public and private financial instruments 
(e.g., funds, mechanisms, taxonomies, benchmarks) aimed at integrating sustainability into financial 
markets and public finance instruments.
•  Opportunities: the creation of new markets and sustainable finance products consistent with 
the investment framework, activating greater public resources for decarbonization and access 
to financial resources in line with energy transition objectives and the related impact on costs 
and on finance charges; introduction of subsidized support tools (funds and calls) for the tran-
sition.

•  Risks: actions and instruments are not sufficient to drive an acceleration of energy transition, 
uncertainty or slowdown in the introduction of new instruments and rules due to the deteriora-
tion in the public finances.

MARKET

Commodity prices 
dynamics

Changes in market dynamics, such as those related to the volatility of commodity prices, can influ-
ence the behavior of operators, policymakers and customers.
•  Opportunities: acceleration of clean electrification as a solution to reduce energy costs and ex-
posure to commodity volatility. Increased propensity of customers to switch from conventional 
fossil fuel technologies to efficient electric technologies.

•  Risks:  “disorderly”  energy  transition  caused  by  the  introduction  of  potentially  distortive  mea-

sures.

Market dynamics

Propensity of final customers to adopt more sustainable technologies, thanks to greater awareness 
of the risks of climate change and greater regulatory pressure.
•  Opportunities: positive effects associated with the growth in electricity demand and the greater 

room for renewables, thanks in part to greater demand for long-term contracts (PPAs).

TECHNOLOGY 

Penetration of 
new technologies 
supporting the 
transition

Gradual penetration of new technologies such as electric vehicles, storage, demand response and 
electrolyzers for the production of green hydrogen. Large-scale adoption of digital technologies to 
transform operating models and “platform” business models.
•  Opportunities: investments in developing technology solutions supporting the flexibility of the 

electrical system. Additional boost to renewables for the production of green hydrogen.

•  Risks: slowdowns and interruptions in the supply chain for raw materials and semiconductors 
could lead to delays in procurement and/or increase costs, potentially slowing the penetration 
of renewables, storage and electric vehicles.

PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

Electrification of 
residential energy 
consumption and 
industrial processes

With the gradual electrification of end uses, the penetration of products with lower costs and a 
smaller impact in terms of local emissions and greater efficiency in the residential and industrial 
sectors will expand (for example, the use of heat pumps).
•  Opportunities:  increase  in  electricity  consumption  against  a  background  of  declining  energy 
consumption thanks to the greater efficiency of electricity. Greater opportunities to provide be-
yond-commodity services and the opportunity to reduce customers’ energy costs and carbon 
footprint. Greater investments in grids to support the electrification of consumption.

•  Risks: additional competition in this market segment. Dependence on adequate development of 

electricity grids, which are essential to deliver increasing loads and service continuity.

Electric mobility

Use  of  more  efficient  and  effective  modes  of  transportation  from  the  point  of  view  of  climate 
change, with a special focus on the development of electric mobility and charging infrastructure.
•  Opportunities: positive effects of the increase in electricity demand and greater margins con-
nected with the penetration of electric transportation and associated beyond-commodity ser-
vices.

•  Risks: additional competition in this market segment.

The Group has already taken strategic actions to mitigate 
potential risks and exploit the opportunities offered by the 
energy transition. 
A  strategy  focused  on  decarbonization  and  the  energy 
transition  makes  the  Group  resilient  to  the  risks  associ-
ated with the introduction of more ambitious policies for 
emissions reductions and maximizes opportunities for the 
development of renewable generation, infrastructure and 
enabling technologies, thanks in part to our geographical 
positioning in countries with an integrated presence. 

To quantify the risks and opportunities engendered by the 
energy  transition,  the  transition  scenarios  described  in 
the section “Enel’s energy transition scenarios” have been 
considered. 
In  the  Enel  Reference  scenario,  the  progressive  electrifi-
cation of final energy consumption, especially in transport 
and the residential sector, leads to an increase in electric-
ity  consumption  and  therefore  to  a  growth  in  electricity 
demand.  This  dynamic  reduces  the  risk  associated  with 
the progressive increase in the share of renewables in the 
energy mix, which could trigger a reduction in the price of 
wholesale electricity. Furthermore, revisions of the market 
design  in  favor  of  long-term  remuneration  would  have  a 
positive impact on profitability.
The effects of the Slower Transition and Accelerated Tran-
sition on the variables that can most impact the business 
were then identified, in particular electricity demand influ-
enced by developments in the electrification of consump-
tion  –  and  hence  the  penetration  of  electrical  technolo-
gies – and the power generation mix.

With regard to the electrification of consumption, howev-
er,  the  Slower  Transition  scenario  envisages  lower  pene-
tration rates for the most efficient electrical technologies, 
in  particular  electric  vehicles  and  heat  pumps,  produc-
ing  a  decrease  in  electricity  demand  compared  with  the 
Reference  scenario,  which  is  expected  to  have  a  limited 
impact  on  the  commodity  and  beyond-commodity  retail 
business. At the same time, the decline in electricity de-
mand would leave less room for growth in renewables, with 
an  impact  on  the  generation  business,  partially  offset  by 
higher electricity prices than in a scenario with more re-
newables capacity. 
The Accelerated Transition scenario assumes a more rap-
id  reduction  in  the  costs  of  green  hydrogen  production 
technologies compared with the Reference scenario. This 
translates  into  greater  penetration  for  green  hydrogen, 
with  a  consequent  additive  effect  on  national  electricity 
demand and the installation of renewables capacity com-
pared with the Reference scenario. 
All  of  the  scenarios,  but  especially  the  Reference  and 
the  Accelerated  Transition  scenarios,  will  entail  a  greater 
role  for  grids.  In  fact,  we  expect  a  significant  increase  in 
distributed  generation  and  storage  systems,  the  greater 
penetration of charging infrastructure and a growing rate 
of electrification of consumption. These developments will 
lead to the decentralization of power withdrawal/injection 
points, an increase in electricity demand and the average 
power required, and strong variability of energy flows, re-
quiring dynamic and flexible management of the grid.

Chronic physical changes creating risks and 
opportunities
The  climate  scenarios  developed  with  the  International 
Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) in Trieste show ma-
terial  changes  beginning  to  emerge  between  2030  and 
2050.  In  practice,  while  significant  meteorological  varia-
tions have been recorded, it is still a challenge to establish 

in the short term whether certain phenomena are chang-
ing structurally, or whether the average benchmark values 
are already changing. Instead, it is established on the lon-
ger time horizon with probability intervals.
The main impacts of chronic physical changes are expect-
ed to be reflected in the following variables:

Variables impacted 
by chronic physical 
changes

•  Electricity demand: variation in the average temperature level with a potential increase or re-

duction in electricity demand.

•  Thermal generation: variation in the level and average temperatures of the oceans and rivers, 

with effects on thermal generation.

•  Hydroelectric generation: variation in the average level of rainfall and snowfall and temperatures 

with a potential increase or reduction in hydro generation.

•  Solar generation: variation in the average level of solar radiation, temperature and rainfall with a 

potential increase or reduction in solar generation.

•  Wind generation:  variation  in  the  average  wind  level  with  a  potential  increase  or  reduction  in 

wind generation.

As part of the assessment of the effects of long-term cli-
mate change, we have identified chronic events relevant to 
each technology and began the analysis of the related im-
pacts. The following matrix identifies the chronic climate 
phenomena to which each of the Group’s assets and tech-
nologies was found to be most vulnerable, differentiating 
by the priority of the phenomenon.
In  particular,  the  Group  works  to  effectively  estimate  the 
relationships  between  the  changes  in  the  physical  vari-
ables reported in the matrix and the change in producibility 
relating to individual plants for the different technologies.

Analysis of the impact of chronic climate 
change on renewable generation
To  calculate  the  impact  of  the  chronic  effects  of  climate 
change on the production of our assets, a series of ad hoc 
functions have been created for each renewable technolo-
gy (wind, solar and hydroelectric) and plant, which associate, 
with each change in climatic variables (e.g., temperature, ra-
diation, wind speed, rainfall), probable changes in terms of 
electrical producibility of the plants in our portfolio.
To calibrate these “link” functions, we started from the his-
torical  data  of  the  weather-climate  variables(33)  and  from 
the internal references of the observed producible energy 
of our plants. In this way, link functions have been obtained 
which  respond  to  the  specific  characteristics  of  each  re-
newable plant and technology.
It was therefore possible to study the chronic climate im-
pacts  for  possible  future  projections  of  climate  variables 
(RCP 2.6, 4.5 and 8.5 scenarios).

Electricity demand is also 
infl uenced by temperature, 
fl uctuations in which can 
impact the business. Although 
structural changes should 
not emerge in the short  
term, sensitivity analyses 
of variations in electricity 
demand are used, in line with 
the climate scenarios analyzed

Renewable generation is 
infl uenced by the availability 
of resources, fl uctuations in 
which can impact the business. 
Although structural changes 
should not emerge in the 
short  term, the sensitivity 
of the Group's results was 
assessed using sensitivity 
analyses considering historical 
meteorological volatility 
and variations in generation 
potential in the diff erent climate 
scenarios

age structural changes, it is necessary to study the typical 
volatility  of  the  weather  and  therefore  more  short-term. 
Both the information derived from the variation ranges of 
the chronic trends projected by the climatic scenarios and 
the  historical  volatilities  of  the  meteorological  data  were 
taken as input for the strategic planning, through analysis 
of the variations in electricity production (TWh) over the last 
10 years.
All fluctuations, both weather and climatic, can lead to ad-
justments,  since  the  production  of  the  plants  feeds  the 
sourcing  for  the  sale  of  energy  to  customers.  In  essence, 
reductions in terms of energy for renewable production can 
lead to imbalances on the sourcing side which can lead to 
the purchase of the missing volumes on the market to feed 
the  commercial  strategy.  Conversely,  greater  renewable 
production leads to a possible reduction in the purchase of 
volumes on the market (or possibly higher sales).
Chronic structural changes in the recent trends of physical 
variables will manifest themselves gradually over long time 
scales. In order to obtain an indicative projection of the po-
tential impacts, and include a possible acceleration of the 
manifestation  of  chronic  effects,  we  can  perform  a  stress 
test of the Business Plan with regard to the factors poten-
tially influenced by the physical scenario, taking account of 
historical weather variability and the climate changes that 
are expected to emerge in the long term. The current Busi-
ness Plan was constructed using the information contained 
in the median scenarios for chronic phenomena, so as to 
consider the possible effects of trends in climate variables.

Acute physical changes creating risks and 
opportunities
With regard to acute physical phenomena (extreme events), 
the intensity and frequency of extreme physical phenome-
na can cause significant and unexpected physical damage 
to  assets  and  generate  negative  externalities  associated 
with the interruption of service.
Acute physical phenomena, in different cases such as wind-
storms, floods, heat waves, cold snaps, etc., are character-
ized  by  considerable  intensity  and  a  frequency  of  occur-
rence that, while not high in the short term, is clearly trend-
ing upwards in medium- and long-term climate scenarios.

Therefore,  the  Group  is  already  managing  the  risk  asso-
ciated with extreme events in the short term. At the same 
time,  the  methodology  is  also  being  extended  to  longer 
time horizons (up to 2050) in accordance with the climate 
change scenarios that have been developed (RCP 8.5, 4.5 
and 2.6).
In the case of the vulnerability of assets in the portfolio, a 
table of the main extreme events relevant to the different 
technologies was defined in collaboration with the Group’s 
relevant  global  business  lines,  in  order  of  priority,  as  was 
done for chronic phenomena.

Acute event risk assessment methodology
In order to quantify the risk deriving from extreme events, 

the  Group  uses  a  consolidated  catastrophic  risk  analysis 
approach,  which  is  adopted  in  the  insurance  sector  and 
in  the  IPCC  reports.(34)  This  methodology  is  used  both  in 
assessing  risks  to  support  industrial  and  strategic  deci-
sion-making and to hedge the risk through its insurance 
business  units  and  the  captive  insurance  company  Enel

Insurance NV. The Group manages the various phases of 
assessing the risks connected with natural disasters: from 
assessment  and  quantification  to  the  corresponding  in-
surance coverage to minimize impacts.

In all of these types of natural disasters, three independent 
factors can be identified, as briefly described below.

•  The  event  probability  (hazard),  i.e.  the  theoretical  fre-
quency of the event over a specific time frame, which 
can also be expressed as the recurrence interval or re-
turn period. A hazard that has a specific geographical 
distribution  is  analyzed  in  the  areas  where  the  Group 
assets involved are located.

For  this  purpose,  the  Group  adopts  the  hazard  map 
tool, which associates the estimated hazard for the dif-
ferent types of natural disasters with each geographical 
point.  This  information,  organized  in  geo-referenced 
databases, is obtained from global reinsurance compa-
nies  or  developed  on  the  basis  of  data  from  weather 
consulting firms or academic institutions.

•  Vulnerability, which indicates in percentage terms how 
much  value  would  be  lost  upon  the  occurrence  of  a 
given  catastrophic  event.  In  more  specific  terms,  ref-
erence can be made to the damage to material assets, 

the  impact  on  the  continuity  of  electricity  generation 
and/or  distribution  or  the  provision  of  electrical  ser-
vices to end users.

The Group, especially in the case of damage to its as-
sets,  conducts  and  promotes  specific  vulnerability 
analyses  for  each  technology  in  its  portfolio,  for  ex-
ample solar, wind and hydroelectric generation plants, 
transmission  and  distribution  grids,  primary  and  sec-
ondary substations, etc. 

•  Exposure, i.e. the set of economic values present in the 
Group’s  portfolio  that  could  be  materially  impacted  in 
the presence of catastrophic natural events. Again, the 
dimensions of the analyses are specific for the different 
production  technologies,  distribution  assets  and  ser-
vices to end users.

The three factors described above (hazard, vulnerabili-
ty and exposure) constitute the fundamental elements 
of any assessment of the risk associated with extreme 
events. In this sense, the Group, with respect to climate 
change scenarios, differentiates its risk analyses in ac-
cordance with the specificities of the various associat-
ed  time  horizons.  The  following  table  summarizes  the 
scheme  adopted  for  the  assessment  of  the  impacts 
deriving from acute physical phenomena.

Managing the risk of extreme events in the short term
Over  the  short  term  (1-3  years)  the  Group,  in  addition  to 
risk  assessment  and  quantification,  takes  actions  to  re-
duce  the  impacts  that  the  business  may  suffer  following 
catastrophic  extreme  events.  Two  main  types  of  action 
can  be  distinguished:  obtaining  effective  insurance  cov-
erage and climate adaptation activities, preventing losses 
that could be caused by extreme events.
The general characteristics of these actions are illustrated 
below and, naturally, in the case of adaptation activities for 
damage prevention and mitigation, specific reference will 
be made to the Group’s Generation and Enel Grids Global 
Business Lines.

Impact of acute physical events on the Group
The Enel Group has a well-diversified portfolio in terms of 
its generation technologies, geographical distribution and 
asset scale and, consequently, the portfolio’s exposure to 
natural risks is also diversified. The Group implements var-
ious risk mitigation measures, which, as described below, 
include both insurance coverage and other management 
and operational arrangements to further lower the Com-
pany’s risk profile.
The empirical evidence indicates negligible repercussions 
from  these  risks,  as  shown  by  the  data  for  the  last  five 
years.  Considering  the  most  significant  events,  defined 
as  events  with  a  gross  impact  of  more  than  €10  million, 
the cumulative gross impact amounts to about €130 mil-
lion, which represents less than 0.06% of the value of the 
Group’s insured assets as at 2023 (about €220 billion).

110 Integrated Annual Report 2023

Acute Events Risk Index (AERI)

As reported in previous publications, the Group has 
developed a climate change index called Acute Events 
Risk Index (AERI)(35) to provide a high-level indication 
of changes in risk to renewable generation plants 
attributable to climate change for acute phenomena. 
In particular, the results show the share of installed 
capacity that, based on climate projections (RCP 2.6), will 
be located in areas characterized by a risk class that will 
vary depending on the expected increase in the hazard 
attributable to climate change in the 2030-2050 period 
compared with the historical period.

The AERI considers the Group’s hydroelectric, solar and 
wind plants (Enel Green Power and Enel X) and in 2023 
it was updated to include COD 2022 plants.(36) The index 
uses climate metrics and the approach followed for 
the preliminary screening, which will also be described 
later, in order to identify assets that will be exposed to 
more intense climate change effects. The objective of 
this evaluation is to define the priorities for the detailed 
analyses necessary for the identification of adaptation 
actions. This offers a summary representation of a 
screening performed for each plant and relevant 
physical phenomenon, against which priorities will be 
evaluated for more detailed analyses.

BREAKDOWN OF GROUP CAPACITY (%)  
BY CLIMATE CHANGE RISK CATEGORY  
(RCP 2.6 SCENARIO)

In particular, the relevant physical phenomena are 
considered for each plant, with respect to which the 
level of future climate change is calculated and a risk 
class (high, medium, low, very low) is assigned to each 
asset using an appropriate weighting system. At this 
point it is possible to aggregate the results and arrive 
at the Group AERI value broken down by each risk 
category.

As shown in the figure below, in the RCP 2.6 scenario, 
just over 1% of the total analyzed capacity of the Enel 
Group is located in areas classified as at high risk from 
climate change: for these plants, a detailed analysis 
is a priority in order to identify possible adaptation 
measures. By comparison, about 11% will be located in 
medium-risk areas. This means that the asset situation 
must be analyzed on a rolling basis to evaluate whether 
to proceed with more in-depth analyses using higher 
resolution data in order to determine the need for 
adaptation with respect to specific phenomena. Finally, 
the remaining installed capacity (88%) is associated with 
a low or very low risk: plants in these categories are not 
expected to be exposed to substantial climate change 
impacts in the RCP 2.6 scenario. For these, therefore, 
the criteria and actions already implemented remain 
adequate and any detailed studies will have a lower 
priority. The analyses will in any case be updated and 
refined on an ongoing basis to ensure monitoring of 
expected climate change effects on all plants.

The  Group  is  also  working  to  extend  the  analysis  to  the 
distribution  grids  and  thus  also  obtain  qualitative  and 
quantitative information for Enel Grids on the climate risks 
associated with that business line’s assets.

Insurance in the Enel Group
Each year, the Group develops global insurance programs 
for its businesses in the various countries in which it op-
erates. The two main programs, in terms of coverage and 
volumes, are the following:
•  the Property Program (“Property Damage and Business 
Interruption  Insurance  Program”)  for  material  damage 
to  assets  and  the  resulting  business  interruption.  Ac-
cordingly, in addition to the costs of rebuilding assets 
(or parts thereof), the financial losses due to the stop-
page  of  electricity  generation  and/or  distribution  are 
also  covered,  within  the  limits  and  conditions  defined 
in the policies;

•  the Liability Program (“General & Environmental Liabil-
ity  Insurance  Program”),  which  insures  against  losses 
caused  to  third  parties,  including  the  impact  that  ex-
treme events may have on the Group’s assets and busi-
ness.

Based on effective risk assessment, it is possible to spec-
ify appropriate limits and insurance conditions within the 
policies, and this also applies in the case of extreme nat-
ural  events  linked  to  climate  change.  In  fact,  in  the  latter 
case, the impacts on the business can be significant but, 
as  has  happened  in  the  past  in  various  locations  around 
the world, the Group has demonstrated a high degree of 
resilience, thanks to the ample insurance coverage limits, 
thanks in part to the Group’s solid reinsurance capabilities 
through the captive company.
The  presence  of  this  effective  insurance  coverage  does 
not  make  the  actions  that  the  Group  takes  in  the  pre-
ventive  maintenance  of  its  generation  and  distribution 
assets  any  less  important.  In  fact,  while  on  the  one  hand 
the effects of these activities are immediately reflected in 
the  mitigation  of  the  impacts  of  extreme  events,  on  the 
other hand they are a necessary prerequisite for optimiz-
ing risk financing and minimizing the cost of the Group’s 
global  insurance  coverage  programs,  including  the  risk 
associated with catastrophic natural events. This adaptive 
strategy  takes  the  form  of  management  strategies  and 

actions that go beyond insurance alone and change with 
the  surrounding  conditions.  For  example,  the  Group  has 
managed to sterilize much of the strong upward trend in 
premiums on the insurance markets through changes to 
its risk retention policies for assets, as well as through in-
ternal risk transfer policies that reward the business lines 
that are most virtuous in terms of risk mitigation. From this 
perspective,  the  method  and  the  information  extracted 
from  the  ex-post  analysis  of  events  play  a  crucial  role  in 
determining the processes and practices to be deployed 
in mitigating such events in the future.

Climate change adaptation in the Enel Group
The  Group  implements  climate  change  adaptation  solu-
tions using an overall approach that, as described in the 
“Climate  change  strategy“  section,  assesses  potential 
impacts in order to appropriately calibrate the necessary 
adaptation measures to enhance our ability to respond to 
adverse  events  (Response  Management)  and  to  enhance 
the resilience of the business (Resiliency Measures), there-
by reducing the risk of future negative impacts of adverse 
events. Furthermore, the skills and tools developed to an-
alyze the effects of climate change can be used to create 
value,  for  example  through  the  conception  of  new  busi-
ness options that offer solutions to facilitate the adapta-
tion of communities and all stakeholders.

The  adaptation  solutions  can  involve  both  policy  actions 
and  best  practices  implemented  in  the  short  term,  and 
long-term decisions.
For  new  investments,  in  line  with  the  general  approach, 
it  is  also  possible  to  take  early  action  in  the  design  and 
construction phase to reduce the impact of climate risks 
“by  design”,  for  example  by  taking  account  in  the  design 
stage  of  climate  scenarios  and  asset  vulnerability  analy-
ses for specific phenomena in order to implement resilient 
solutions.

The following table provides a high-level summary of the 
type of actions that Enel implements to effectively man-
age adverse events and to increase resilience to weather 
phenomena and their evolution under the impetus of cli-
mate  change.  In  the  following  sections,  certain  activities 
are described in greater detail.

Enel has also completed a project involving the construc-
tion of a catalog of practical intervention actions intended 
to enhance the resilience of assets and their ability to re-
spond to possible climate change effects.
The catalog includes targeted actions for each of the rel-
evant events reported in the matrices of relevant phenom-
ena (see previous sections), for each geographical area of 
interest of the Group, differentiated by the different asset 
technologies adopted in these areas.
The catalog of possible adaptation actions, which is main-
tained  and  updated  on  a  cyclical  basis  in  response  to 
emerging needs and the refinement of the analyses con-
ducted prior to their development, comprises more than 
100 actions, including:
•  weather alerting (which includes the use of various tools 
to monitor and manage assets and natural resources);
•  automation  (for  example,  implementation  on  medi-
um-voltage grids to reduce the impact of faults on cus-
tomers as measured in terms of SAIDI and SAIFI);

•  structural  reinforcement  across  the  entire  asset  base 

with a special focus on critical components;

•  continuous staff training;
•  maintenance  of  vegetation  and  care  of  the  environ-

ment immediately surrounding assets.

The  catalog  is  an  important  collection  of  possible  adap-
tation options that can be used to generate estimates of 

cost and risk avoided for applications at specific sites. This 
information makes it possible to select the most appropri-
ate action on the basis of a cost-benefit analysis that takes 
account of the expected risks in each specific situation.

How Enel ensures the resilience of generation
With  regard  to  generation,  over  time  the  Group  has  im-
plemented targeted measures at specific sites and estab-
lished ad hoc management activities and processes.
Measures  implemented  for  specific  sites  in  recent  years 
include:
•  improving cooling water management systems for cer-
tain plants in order to counter the problems caused by 
the decline in water levels on rivers, such as the Po River 
in Italy;

•  installing fogging systems to improve the flow of inlet 
air and offset the reduction in power output caused by 
the increase in ambient temperature in CCGTs;

•  installing drainage pumps, raising embankments, peri-
odic cleaning of canals and interventions to consolidate 
land adjacent to plants to prevent landslides in order to 
mitigate flood risks;

•  periodic site-specific reassessments for hydro plants of 
flood  scenarios  using  numerical  simulations.  The  sce-
narios developed are managed with mitigation actions 
and interventions for civil works, dams and water inlets.

Critical Event 
Management

•  Weather forecasting both to monitor renewable resource availability and detect extreme events, 

with warning systems to ensure the protection of people and assets.

•  Hydrological simulations, land surveys (including with the use of drones), monitoring any vulnera-

bilities through digital GISs (Geographic Information Systems) and satellite measurements.

•  Advanced monitoring of over 100,000 parameters (with over 160 million historical measurements) 

for dams and hydroelectric works.

•  Real-time remote monitoring of generation plants.
•  Safe rooms in plants in areas exposed to tornadoes and hurricanes, such as the wind farms in 

Oklahoma in the United States.

•  Adoption of specific guidelines for performing hydrological and hydraulic studies from the ear-
liest  development  stages,  aimed  at  assessing  the  risks  inside  plants  and  in  the  areas  outside 
plants, with application in the design phase of drainage and mitigation systems in compliance 
with the principle of hydraulic invariance.

•  Verification of potential climate trends for the main project parameters in order to take them into 
account in the sizing of systems for relevant projects (for example, assessments of the tempera-
ture of the coolant source in order to ensure greater flexibility in cooling in new CCGTs) and civil 
engineering  works  (for  example,  rainfall  assessments  for  designs  of  drainage  systems  at  solar 
plants).

•  Estimation of extreme wind speeds using updated databases containing the logs and historical 
trajectories of hurricanes and tropical storms, enabling the selection of the wind turbine technol-
ogy best suited to the emerging conditions.

In addition, in order to ensure rapid response to adverse 
events, the Group has adopted specific emergency man-
agement procedures with protocols for real-time commu-
nication and management of all activities to restore oper-
ations rapidly and standard checklists for damage assess-
ment and the safe return to service for all plants as rapidly 

as possible. One solution to minimize the impacts of cli-
mate  phenomena  is  represented  by  the  lessons-learned 
feedback process, which is implemented by the technical 
functions. It is governed by the existing operating model 
and influences future projects.

Analyzing future climate impacts to 
identify adaptation needs

In the Generation Business Line we mapped globally 
relevant phenomena (see earlier matrix) to perform 
analyses of acute and chronic climate risks in order to 
estimate the medium/long-term impact on the Group’s 
generation plants.
In particular, the analysis of acute events was 
performed in two phases, involving:
•   preliminary screening of the hazard and exposure 
for all hydro, wind and solar plants with the aim of 
classifying the existing plant portfolio, considering 
specific vulnerabilities and identifying plants at 
greater risk in order to conduct a more detailed 
analysis;

•   detailed analysis of plants with a greater risk priority, 

enabling the future identification of possible 

adaptation actions and measures to prevent damage 
from acute events and output losses.

The detailed analysis was conducted to take account 
of the possible increase in the frequency and intensity 
of extreme events and consequently identify assets 
exposed to the related phenomenon.

The detailed analysis of the pilot sites identified a small 
number of assets at high risk in the long term for the 
entire set of phenomena considered. 

Heavy rainfall
•   An analysis was performed for a significant number 
of plants, which highlighted a high correlation 
between the geo-morphology of the site and the 
impact of the phenomenon on the asset, confirming 
the need for a specific site analysis, especially for 
those assets most exposed to the phenomenon 

114 Integrated Annual Report 2023

involved (the most exposed technologies included 
photovoltaics while the greatest exposures at the 
geographical level were found in Latin America).
•   More extensive studies made it possible to identify 
possible structural adaptation measures to lower 
the level of hydraulic risk to an acceptable threshold. 
Their implementation will require a cost-benefit 
analysis. Such structural adaptation interventions 
can, for example, involve the construction of 
hydraulic mitigation works (mainly embankments, 
riverbed reprofiling, adaptation of drainage channels, 
expansion and lamination tanks) or raising of the 
components at risk with earth moving works or 
increasing the length of the support structures in the 
case of photovoltaic panels.

Heat waves
•   The impact of heat waves on photovoltaic 

systems was studied in depth. This critical event 
is characterized by the persistence of high 
temperatures for multiple days with no rainfall.
•   Despite the increase in the frequency and intensity 
of this climate phenomenon, no significant impacts 
were registered on this asset, with just a reduction 
in the performance of the inverter due to derating in 
certain periods of the year in specific locations.

Windstorms
•   With regard to windstorm risk, despite scenarios 
showing an increase in such events, the impact 

analysis shows a high level of resilience by design, 
especially for the wind farms analyzed.

•   The implementation of any adaptation measures will 
require specific site assessments based on a cost-
benefit analysis, considering the limited impact of 
the phenomenon on Enel Green Power plants.

Wildfires
•   With regard to fire risk, the business line conducted 
a study to identify the areas at greatest risk. In order 
to prevent fires outright and/or reduce response 
times, a number of possible adaptation measures 
were identified for adoption in the design or 
operational phase of plants. These include additional 
removal of vegetation around the project area, the 
creation of firebreaks, additional coordination with 
local authorities on how to respond in the event of a 
fire.

The methodologies developed will be progressively 
refined with the aim of also applying them to the 
design and development of new Enel Green Power 
plants. The application of these assessments in 
the design stage will help further boost resilience, 
forecasting the risks and preserving the value of new 
projects.
These studies will make it possible to quantify the 
need for adaptation in terms of Risk Prevention (for 
example, the adoption of an adaptive design) and Event 
Management and management of residual risk.

Grid resilience lies at the heart of Enel’s strategy
The Enel Grids Business Line, following the Group policies 
mentioned  above  (“Climate  change  risks  and  opportuni-
ties”),  has  issued  a  specific  policy  (Climate  Change  Risk 
Assessment)  that  provides  general  criteria,  methodolog-
ical  tools  and  requirements  for  identifying,  analyzing  and 
assessing  climate  change  risks  in  respect  of  the  assets 
managed and the activities conducted, in order to monitor 
the risk and the actions to be implemented to mitigate its 
impacts.

In the Enel Grids Business Line the Enel Group has adopt-
ed  an  approach  in  recent  years  called  “4R”  to  cope  with 
extreme  climate  events.  A  specific  policy  (which  seeks  to 
implement  an  innovative  strategy  to  ensure  the  resilience 
of the distribution grid) has been developed to define the 
measures to be taken both in preparation for an emergency 
within the network and for the prompt restoration of ser-
vice  once  climate  events  have  caused  damage  to  assets 
and/or outages. The 4R strategy is divided into four phases: 

1.  Risk prevention: this includes actions that make it pos-
sible to reduce the probability of losing network com-
ponents  because  of  an  event  and/or  to  minimize  its 
effects, i.e. interventions aimed both at increasing the 
robustness  of  the  infrastructure  and  maintenance  in-
terventions.  The  choice  of  technical  solutions  to  en-
hance resilience is guided by a catalogue that identifies 
the most appropriate response for each climate event 
and geographical area.

2.  Readiness: this includes all measures aimed at increas-
ing the speed with which a potentially critical event can 
be identified, ensuring coordination with Civil Protection 
authorities and local institutions and preparing the nec-
essary resources once a grid disruption has occurred.
3.  Response:  this  represents  the  phase  in  which  the  op-
erational  capacity  to  cope  with  an  emergency  upon 
the  occurrence  of  an  extreme  event  is  assessed.  It  is 
directly related to the ability to mobilize operational re-
sources in the field and the capacity to remotely restore 
power supply through resilient backup systems.

Risk management

115

4.  Recovery: this is the last phase, in which the goal is to 
return the grid to ordinary operating conditions as soon 
as  possible  in  cases  where  an  extreme  weather  event 
has caused service interruptions despite the increased 
resilience measures taken previously.

Following  this  approach,  the  business  line  has  prepared 
various policies for specific actions to address the various 
aspects and risks associated with climate change. In par-
ticular:

Guidelines for 
Readiness Response 
and Recovery 
actions during 
emergencies

Guideline for 
Network Resilience 
Enhancement Plan 

Measures for Risk 
Prevention and 
Preparation in 
case of wildfires 
affecting the 
electrical 
installations

Support actions

This policy covers the last three phases of the 4R approach, indicating guidelines and measures to 
improve preparation strategies, mitigate the impact of total blackouts and, finally, restore service to 
as many customers as possible in the shortest time possible. 

This  policy  seeks  to  identify  the  most  impactful  extraordinary  climate  events  on  the  network,  to 
evaluate the specific KPIs of the AS-IS network and to improve them based on proposed interven-
tions in order to be able to evaluate the order of priority. In this manner, actions are selected that, 
when implemented, will minimize the impact on the grid of particularly critical extreme events in a 
given area/region. The policy therefore covers the first two phases of the 4R approach, suggesting 
measures regarding risk prevention and readiness.
In Italy, this policy has been translated into the Resilience Plan that e-distribuzione has prepared 
each year since 2017, which represents an addendum to the Development Plan for ad hoc invest-
ments over a 3-year time horizon to reduce the impact of extreme events in certain critical areas, 
namely heat waves, icing and windstorms (with the associated risk of falling trees). In 2017-2021, 
some €672 million were invested and about €262 million will be invested in the following three-year 
period, as specified in the addendum to the 2022-2024 Plan. To address these risks, investments 
include the targeted replacement of uninsulated lines with insulated conductors, the underground-
ing of cables in some cases or solutions involving routes to restore power that are not vulnerable 
to the above phenomena. 
As in Italy, similar issues are being explored in other countries, both in Europe and South America, 
in order to prepare an ad hoc investment planning process to enhance the resilience of grids to 
extreme events, taking due account of the distinctive characteristics of each territory. 

This  policy  is  dedicated  to  addressing  the  risk  of  wildfires,  outlining  an  integrated  approach  to 
emergency management measures applied in the case of forest fires, whether they are of exter-
nal origin or, in rare cases, are caused by the grid itself and could potentially threaten Enel plant. 
The document provides guidelines to be implemented in the various territories involved to identify 
areas/plant  at  risk,  define  specific  prevention  measures  (e.g.,  evaluation  of  specific  maintenance 
plans and any upgrades) and, in the event of a fire, manage the emergency optimally in order to limit 
its impact and restore service as soon as possible.

These  include  the  implementation  of  systems  for  weather  forecasting,  monitoring  the  status  of 
the grid and evaluating the impact of critical climate phenomena on the grid, the preparation of 
operational plans and the organization of specific exercises. Particularly important in this regard are 
advance agreements for the mobilization of extraordinary resources to respond to emergencies, 
comprising both internal personnel and contractors. For example, in Italy, in addition to having in-
stalled and placed in operation three experimental stations to observe and investigate ice forma-
tion on MV lines, IoT sensor trials were launched to monitor on above-ground lines in areas that are 
highly exposed to snow and wind (Project Newman). 

Enel Grids is making a significant contribution to the draft-
ing of the initial industry publications on the importance of 
resilience and adaptation to climate change and possible 
actions, including the report issued by Eurelectric-EPRI(37) 

in  December  2022  entitled  “The  Coming  Storm:  building 
electricity resilience to extreme weather”.
With  a  view  to  ensuring  continuous  improvement,  Enel 
Grids  also  performs  scouting  activities,  directly  contact-

resilience of the grid.

Analyzing future climate impacts to 
identify adaptation measures

Beginning with the mapping of key phenomena at the 
global level, Enel Grids monitors trends in the most 
critical threats in the various countries in which the 
Group operates in order to estimate their future 
impact on the grid in the medium and long term. To 

do this, it is first necessary to perform a preliminary 
assessment of the impacts on the grid (including 
associated failures) of the extreme weather events 
that have occurred in the past. The mapping that 
associates the most critical acute events to each core 
country is shown in the figure below. This enables the 
identification of priority analyses to identify any 
adaptation measures.

Starting from these assessments, detailed studies 
were then conducted for specific phenomena and 
geographical areas. Here are some examples. 

Heavy rainfall/windstorms
•   An analysis was conducted to investigate the 
phenomenon of explosive cyclogenesis (the 
product of a combination of intense wind and rain) 
in Spain, with projections of events up to 2050, 
evaluating the possible future impacts on grid 
assets. The initial findings suggest that the trend 
is substantially in line with the historical observed 
record, with the exception of the coastal areas 
of Catalonia, where a possible intensification of 
events is expected.

•   Studies were also carried out in Colombia on 
the impact of rainfall in both the Bogotá and 
Cundinamarca areas, evaluating the possible 
scenarios up to 2050. The in-depth studies carried 
out show a substantial persistence over time of the 
negative effects associated with this phenomenon. 
On the basis of these initial results, the planned 
response measures mainly regard waterproofing 
secondary substations in urban areas, to avert flood 
risk, and strengthening aerial infrastructures to limit 
the consequences of the direct impact of rainfall.
•   An initial analysis was conducted in Chile on the 
impact of windstorms in the Santiago de Chile 
concession area. The findings of the scenario

the basis of the initial results in 2020. This critical 
event is characterized by the persistence of high 
temperatures over a period of several days in 
correspondence with the absence of precipitation 
which, by hindering the dissipation of heat from 
underground cables, causes an anomalous 
increase in the risk of multiple failures on grids, 
especially in urban areas and in summer tourist 
locales. The analyses performed have highlighted 
how this climate phenomenon will intensify 
in the coming decades by 10-40% by 2050

adequate adaptation actions as already laid out 
in the expanding commitment envisaged both 
by the Resilience Plan indicated above and from 
participation in the tender of the NRRP (National 

consistent with the above policy, is preparing 
an update of the policy on fire risk prevention, 
applying an index that evaluates the fire risk of 
areas based on topological and environmental 
characteristics (FWI: Fire Weather Index) as a 
support tool, with projections of scenarios to 2050 
on developments in the phenomenon. So far, 
each country has conducted a study to identify 
the areas at greatest risk of forest fires. Today, the 
study also draws on GIS (Geographic Information 
System) mapping for more precise identification of 
grids in different environments (protected natural 
areas, forests, habitats). This makes it possible 
to adopt even more effective construction or 
maintenance design measures to prevent fire risk.

Adaptation activities – Enel X Global Retail
In  order  to  address  extreme  climate  events,  the  Enel  X 
Global Retail Business Line has continued to work on es-
timating the potential impacts of physical phenomena in 
order to develop actions to adapt to climate change, iden-
tifying  the  risks  and  opportunities  for  priority  countries/
assets.
An  impact  analysis  was  carried  out  for  owned  assets, 
which represent a minority share of the total asset portfo-
lio. At the same time, potential risks and possible resilience 
solutions  are  being  assessed  for  business-to-business 
and business-to-government customers.
The  work  on  adaptation  focused  on  defining  a  method-
ology for assessing the vulnerability of Enel X Global Re-
tail  assets  by  extending  the  studies  developed  by  Enel 
Green Power and Thermal Generation and Enel Grids for 

the  assessment  and  management  of  acute  meteorolog-
ical  events  for  solar  (Distributed  Energy  PV),  storage  and 
public lighting.
For  solar,  a  preliminary  climate  risk  screening  was  car-
ried  out  in  the  countries/assets  identified  as  priorities 
for  material  acute  events  such  as  extreme  winds,  heavy 
rainfall/floods  and  fire  risk.  For  this  technology,  the  work 
performed, considering both the results obtained thanks 
to the preliminary screening and more detailed analyses, 
does not currently reveal any critical issues related to cli-
mate change. The analysis will be extended to sites where 
new construction is planned. For storage, the work carried 
out so far finds no critical issues associated with acute cli-
matic events. Finally, the acute phenomena relevant to the 
public lighting segment are under study.

Introduction of nature-based solutions to 
Enel X Global Retail’s resilience actions

Attention to the effects of climate change is 
implemented by Enel X Global Retail in both extra-
urban and urban spaces with an approach to the 
challenges of sustainable development inspired 
and supported by nature. Enel X Global Retail is thus 
committed to promoting an approach in which the 
services and products of its commercial offer are 
integrated with nature-based solutions (NBS), i.e. 
techniques and design approaches that use nature 
and processes inspired by it to provide integrated 
services that enhance the resilience of cities to climate 
change, mitigating the microclimate, air quality and 
generally improving the quality of life. To promote 
NBS, Enel X Global Retail has developed the Enel X 
“NBS Biodiversity Handbook” and the Enel X “Urban 

Biodiversity Scoring Model”, which make it possible 
to integrate NBS solutions in business solutions and 
assess their positive impact on the climate, natural 
resources and the human experience.
The introduction of NBS solutions in the Enel X Global 
Retail product range was rolled out with an extensive 
set of recommended scientific indicators (published 
in the Enel X “NBS Handbook for Urban Context”) to 
measure positive impacts and support customers 
in the adoption of these practices recognized 
internationally as effective tools for adaptation to acute 
climate phenomena. In practice, NBS can be integrated 
with Enel X Global Retail’s technological solutions to 
provide ecocompatible services to support nature. 
These solutions also contribute to the adaptation and 
mitigation of climate change and to the improvement 
of the quality of life in urban centers.

Inclusion of climate change effects in the assessment of 
new projects

Many activities connected with the evaluation and imple-
mentation of new projects can benefit from general and 
site-specific climate analyses, which the Group is begin-
ning  to  integrate  with  those  already  considered  in  the 
evaluation of new projects. For example:
•  preliminary studies: in this phase, climate data can serve 
as a preliminary screening tool, with the analysis of spe-
cific climate phenomena, such as those discussed pre-
viously in the analysis of physical scenarios, incorporat-
ed into indicators such as the Acute Event Risk Index, 
and synthetic indicators such as the Climate Risk Index, 
integrated  into  the  Open  Country  Risk  model.  These 
data provide a preliminary measure of the most relevant 
phenomena in an area among those identified as being 
relevant for each technology;

•  estimation  of  expected  output:  the  climate  scenarios 
will  be  progressively  integrated  to  enable  the  evalua-

Competitive environment 

tion  of  how  climate  change  will  modify  the  availability 
of  renewable  sources  at  the  specific  site.  The  section 
“Analysis  of  the  impact  of  chronic  climate  change  on 
renewable generation” describes the approach as ap-
plied to the entire generation portfolio;

•  environmental  impact  analysis:  the  Group  has  begun 
to  integrate  a  Climate  Change  Risk  Assessment  into 
project documentation. This contains a representation 
of  the  main  physical  phenomena  and  their  expected 
change in the area;

•  resilient design: as noted, the development of resilient 
assets by design is a key climate change adaptation ac-
tivity.  The  Group  is  working  to  progressively  consider 
analyses based on climate data, such as the increase in 
the frequency and intensity of acute events. The latter 
will integrate existing analyses based on historical data 
already in use, in order to increase the resilience of fu-
ture assets, including all necessary adaptation actions 
over the useful life of a project.

The analysis of the competitive environment is one of the 
material elements of the analysis of the context in which 
the Group operates and defines its business ambitions.
The  risks  associated  with  evolutionary  developments  in 
the market are also mitigated by the periodic monitoring 
of the comparative performance at an industrial and finan-
cial level of our competitors.
The assessment activity is carried out using a framework 
designed to (i) identify the most relevant competitors and 
peers; (ii) analyze their results, the main business drivers, 
strategic  and  industrial  objectives;  and  (iii)  understand 

their current and prospective positioning.
The  process  of  identifying  our  peer  group  is  periodically 
updated  to  ensure  timely  collection  of  information,  KPIs 
and reporting elements useful for the Group’s positioning 
and strategic planning activities.
In  particular,  a  comparative  assessment  of  the  strategic 
and industrial plans of competitors is particularly relevant 
for assessing potential risks deriving from possible chang-
es  in  the  competitive  context  and,  above  all,  providing 
economic and industrial benchmarks to help improve the 
Group’s performance.

Risk management

119

Financial risks

As  part  of  its  operations,  Enel  is  exposed  to  a  variety  of 
financial risks that, if not appropriately mitigated, can di-
rectly impact our performance. 

In line with the Group’s risk catalogue, these risks include 
the following:

Interest rate
• 
•  Commodity
•  Currency
•  Credit and counterparty
•  Liquidity

The internal control and risk management system (ICRMS) 
provides for the specification of policies that establish the 
roles and responsibilities for risk management, monitoring 
and control processes, ensuring compliance with the prin-
ciple of organizational separation of units responsible for 
operations  and  those  in  charge  of  monitoring  and  man-
aging risk.
The  financial  risk  governance  system  also  defines  a  sys-

tem  of  operating  limits  at  the  Group  and  region/country 
levels  for  each  risk,  which  are  monitored  periodically  by 
risk management units. For the Group, the system of limits 
constitutes  a  decision-making  tool  to  achieve  its  objec-
tives.
For  further  information  on  the  management  of  financial 
risks,  please  see  note  49  of  the  consolidated  financial 
statements.

Interest rate 

Commodity

The Group is exposed to the risk that changes in the level of interest rates could produce unexpected 
changes in net financial expense or financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value.
The exposure to interest rate risk derives mainly from the variability of the terms of financing, in the 
case of new debt, and from the variability of the cash flows in respect of interest on floating-rate 
debt.
The interest rate risk management policy seeks to contain financial expense and its volatility by opti-
mizing the Group’s portfolio of financial liabilities and using OTC derivatives. 
Risk control through specific processes, risk indicators and operating limits enables us to limit pos-
sible adverse financial impacts and, at the same time, to optimize the structure of debt with an ade-
quate degree of flexibility.

Enel operates in energy markets and for this reason is exposed to the risk of incurring losses as a 
result of an increase in the volatility of the prices of energy commodities, such as power, gas and 
fuel, and other commodities, such as minerals and metals (price risk), or owing to a lack of demand or 
energy commodity shortages (volume risk). 
If not managed effectively, these risks can have a significant impact on results. 
To mitigate this exposure, the Group has developed a strategy of stabilizing margins by contracting 
for supplies of fuel and materials and the delivery of electricity to end users or wholesalers in advance.

120 Integrated Annual Report 2023

Currency

Enel has also implemented a formal procedure that provides for the measurement of the residual 
commodity risk, the specification of a ceiling for maximum acceptable risk and the implementation 
of a hedging strategy using derivatives on regulated markets and over-the-counter (OTC) markets. 
The commodity risk control process limits the impact of unexpected changes in market prices on 
margins and, at the same time, ensures an adequate margin of flexibility that makes it possible to 
seize short-term opportunities.
In order to mitigate the risk of interruptions in the supply of fuel and raw materials, the Group has 
diversified fuel sources, using suppliers from different geographical areas.

In 2023, despite the continuing economic strains at the global level owing to the rise in inflation, the 
Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Palestinian conflicts and climate change, the prices of energy commodities 
and other raw materials gradually declined, although they remain above their pre-pandemic levels. 
During the year, the risks recorded by Enel were below the limits set for 2023, which were contained 
thanks  to  careful  and  timely  management  and  mitigation  measures,  the  geographical  diversifica-
tion of our business and supply channels in order to reduce dependence on Russian gas. Finally, the 
adoption of global and local strategies, such as flexibility in contractual clauses and proxy hedging 
techniques (in the event that hedging derivatives are not available on the market or are not sufficiently 
liquid), has made it possible to optimize results even in a highly dynamic market context.

In view of their geographical diversification, access to international markets for the issuance of debt 
instruments and transactions in commodities, Group companies are exposed to the risk that changes 
in exchange rates between the presentation currency and other currencies could generate unexpected 
changes in the performance and financial aggregates in their respective financial statements.
Given the current structure of Enel, the exposure to currency risk is mainly linked to the US dollar and is 
attributable to:
•  cash flows in respect of the purchase or sale of fuel or electricity; 
•  cash flows in respect of investments, dividends from foreign subsidiaries or the purchase or sale of 

equity investments;

•  cash flows connected with commercial relationships;
•  financial assets and liabilities.
The possible impacts of exchange rate risk are reflected in:
•  costs and revenue denominated in foreign currencies with respect to the time at which pricing con-

ditions were defined or the investment decision was made (economic risk);

•  revaluations or adjustments to fair value of financial assets and liabilities sensitive to exchange rates 

(transaction risk);

•  the consolidation of subsidiaries with different currencies of account (translation risk).
The currency risk management policy is based on systematically hedging the exposures of the Group 
companies, with the exception of translation risk.
Appropriate operational processes ensure the definition and implementation of appropriate hedging 
strategies, which typically employ financial derivatives obtained on OTC markets.
Risk control through specific processes and indicators enables us to limit possible adverse financial 
impacts and, at the same time, to optimize the management of cash flows on the managed portfolios.
During the year, currency risk was managed through compliance with the risk management policies, 
encountering no difficulties in accessing the derivatives market. 

Credit and 
counterparty

The Group’s commercial commodity and financial transactions expose it to credit risk, i.e. the pos-
sibility that a deterioration in the creditworthiness of counterparties or the failure to discharge con-
tractual payment obligations could lead to the interruption of incoming cash flows and an increase in 
collection costs (settlement risk) as well as lower revenue flows due to the replacement of the original 
transactions  with  similar  transactions  negotiated  on  unfavorable  market  conditions  (replacement 
risk). Other risks include the reputational and financial risks associated with significant exposures to a 
single counterparty or groups of related customers, or to counterparties operating in the same sector 
or in the same geographical area.

Risk management

121

The exposure to credit risk is attributable to the following types of operations:
•  the  sale  and  distribution  of  electricity  and  gas  in  free  and  regulated  markets  and  the  supply  of 

goods and services (trade receivables);

•  trading activities that involve the physical exchange of assets or transactions in financial instru-

ments with commodity underlyings (the commodity portfolio);

•  trading in derivatives, bank deposits and, more generally, financial instruments (the financial portfolio).

The policy for managing credit risk associated with commercial activities and transactions in com-
modities  provides  for  a  preliminary  assessment  of  the  creditworthiness  of  counterparties  and  the 
adoption of mitigation instruments, such as obtaining guarantees.
The  control  process  based  on  specific  risk  indicators  and,  where  possible,  limits  ensures  that  the 
economic and financial impacts associated with a possible deterioration in credit standing are con-
tained within sustainable levels. At the same time, this approach preserves the necessary flexibility to 
optimize portfolio management.
In addition, the Group undertakes transactions to factor receivables without recourse, which results 
in the complete derecognition of the corresponding assets involved in the factoring.
Finally, with regard to financial and commodity transactions, risk mitigation is pursued through the 
diversification of the portfolio (giving preference to counterparties with a high credit rating) and the 
adoption of specific standardized contractual frameworks that contain risk mitigation clauses (e.g., 
netting arrangements) and possibly the exchange of cash collateral.
During  the  year,  after  a  temporary  deterioration  in  the  collection  status  of  certain  customer  seg-
ments, the situation was restored to the conditions registered the previous year. The Group’s portfolio 
has so far demonstrated resilience to the macroeconomic context and current price scenario. This 
reflects the expansion of digital collection channels and a solid diversification of the customer base.

Liquidity 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group, while solvent, would not be able to discharge its obligations in a 
timely manner or would only be able to do so on unfavorable terms or in the presence of constraints on 
disinvestment from assets with consequent capital losses, owing to situations of tension or systemic 
crises (credit crunches, sovereign debt crises, etc.) or changes in the perception of Group riskiness by 
the market. 

Enel’s liquidity risk management policy is designed to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet expected com-
mitments over a given time horizon without resorting to additional sources of financing, also retaining 
a prudential liquidity reserve, sufficient to meet any unexpected commitments. Furthermore, in order to 
meet its medium- and long-term commitments, Enel pursues a borrowing strategy that provides for a 
diversified structure of funding sources, which it uses to meet its financial needs, and a balanced matu-
rity profile.

Among the factors that define the risk perceived by the market, the credit rating assigned to Enel by 
rating agencies plays a decisive role, since it influences its ability to access sources of financing and the 
related financial terms of that financing. A deterioration in the credit rating could therefore restrict ac-
cess to the capital market and/or increase the cost of funding, with consequent negative effects on the 
financial position, financial performance and cash flows of the Group.
In 2023, Enel’s risk profile changed compared with December 2022 for Standard & Poor’s, whose rating 
went from “BBB+” with a stable outlook to “BBB” with a stable outlook, and for Moody’s, whose rating 
went from “Baa1” with a stable outlook to “Baa1” with a negative outlook. Fitch maintained its rating at 
“BBB+” with a stable outlook.

In order to manage liquidity efficiently, treasury activities have largely been centralized at the holding 
company level, meeting liquidity requirements primarily by drawing on the cash generated by ordinary 
operations and managing any cash surpluses appropriately.

With regard to the increase in gas prices in 2022 following the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the associ-
ated sanctions imposed by the European Union on Russia, which had a major impact on the margins on 
commodity derivatives, in 2023, liquidity used for margin requirements decreased considerably despite 
the continuation of the war and the sanctions. At the end of the year, the liquidity risk index monitored 
for the Group was well within the limits set for 2023.

Digital technology risks

The risks discussed in this section are as follows:

Cyber security

•  Cyber security
•  Digitalization, IT effectiveness and service continuity

The speed of technological developments that constantly generate new challenges, the ever-in-
creasing frequency and intensity of cyber-attacks and the attraction of critical infrastructures and 
strategic industrial sectors as targets underscore the potential risk that, in extreme cases, the nor-
mal operations of companies could grind to a halt. Cyber-attacks have evolved dramatically in re-
cent years: their number has grown exponentially, as has their complexity and impact. In the case 
of the Enel Group, this exposure reflects the many environments in which it operates (data, indus-
try and people), a circumstance that accompanies the intrinsic complexity and interconnection of 
the digital resources that over the years have been increasingly integrated into the Group’s daily 
operating processes. In this context, it is clear that cyber risk must be managed promptly and in 
an integrated manner. In short, technological transformation could not exist without paying great 
attention to cyber security.

To manage cyber risk, the Group has developed a Cyber Security operating model and a related 
framework  of  processes.  Specifically,  the  operating  model  defines  roles  and  responsibilities  for 
the implementation of the framework processes, establishing an ad hoc unit headed by the CISO 
(Chief Information Security Officer) and integrated into the Group’s business areas. In addition, the 
Group  has  designed  and  adopted  a  framework  of  holistic  processes  to  manage  cyber-security 
issues that is applied to all the sectors of IT (Information Technology), OT (Operational Technology) 
and IoT (Internet of Things). The framework sets out a governance model based on the commitment 
of top management, on global strategic management, on the involvement of all business areas as 
well as of the units involved in the implementation of our IT, OT and IoT systems, constituting a solid 
foundation for the full merger of technologies, processes and people. The framework is based on 
two essential pillars: a “risk-based approach” and “cyber security by design”. The former establish-
es that risk assessment is the prerequisite for strategic decisions and the development and safe 
maintenance of all assets within the organization; the latter ensures the adoption of cyber secu-
rity principles from the beginning and throughout the entire life cycle of solutions, services and 
infrastructures in all areas, i.e. IT, OT and IoT. In applying the framework, a cyber risk management 
approach has been defined, applicable to all IT, OT and IoT environments. It comprises all the phases 
necessary to perform risk analysis and define related mitigation plans, consistent with the estab-
lished cyber-security objectives. To balance the advantages of using IT/OT/IoT systems against the 
risk that they may engender, well-informed risk-based decisions are essential.
Enel has also created its own Cyber Emergency Readiness Team (CERT) in order to proactively re-
spond to any IT security incidents.
In order to measure the possible financial impact of cyber risks and manage them more effectively, 
Enel has developed a Cyber Value-at-Risk (“Cyber V@R Enel Group©”) methodology, which is being 
evolved as a metric to calculate Value-at-Risk in various attack scenarios.

Risk management

Digitalization, IT 
effectiveness and 
service continuity

The Group is carrying out a complete digital transformation of how it manages the entire energy value 
chain, developing new business models and  digitizing its business processes, integrating  systems 
and adopting new technologies. A consequence of this digital transformation is that the Group is 
increasingly exposed to risks related to the functioning of the IT systems, which are integrated across 
the Company with impacts on processes and operations, which could expose IT and OT systems to 
service interruptions or data losses.

These risks are managed using a series of internal measures developed by the Group to guide the 
digital transformation. It has set up an internal control system that introduces control points along the 
entire IT value chain, enabling us to prevent the emergence of risks engendered by such issues as the 
creation of services that do not meet business needs, the failure to adopt adequate security mea-
sures and service interruptions. The internal control system oversees both the activities performed 
in-house  and  those  outsourced  to  external  associates  and  service  providers.  Furthermore,  Enel  is 
promoting the dissemination of a digital culture and digital skills within the Group in order to success-
fully guide the digital transformation and minimize the associated risks.

Operational risks

The risks discussed in this section are as follows: 

•  Health and safety
•  Environment
•  Procurement, logistics and supply chain
•  People and organization

Health and safety 

Generating a strong and sustainable safety culture shared 
by all members of the organization is a strategic objective. 
For this reason, Enel is committed to developing increas-
ingly  sound  and  safe  processes,  conditions  and  working 
environments  for  its  employees,  for  the  companies  that 
work with it, for its customers and for all the other com-
munities with which it interacts every day, promoting ded-
icated training courses as well.

The main health and safety risks to which the employees 
of Enel and its contractors are exposed are attributable to 
performing operational activities at the Group’s sites and 
assets.  These  risks  may  vary  or  even  change  depending 
on economic and social trends, as well as the introduction 
of digitalization into operational processes and activities. 
Another type of health and safety risk is connected with 
non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations. This 
can impact on health and safety and lead to administrative 
or judicial penalties, and thus produce financial and repu-
tational impacts on the Enel Group.

ant with the international UNI ISO 45001 standard, which 
also  considers  the  rigor  employed  in  the  selection  and 
management of contractors and suppliers. The manage-
ment system is based on the identification of threats, the 
qualitative and quantitative assessment of risks, including 
financial  and  reputational  risks,  the  planning  and  imple-
mentation  of  prevention  and  protection  measures,  the 
verification of the effectiveness of such measures and any 
corrective actions. These systems make it possible to en-
sure regulatory compliance, to verify the effectiveness of 
processes and related remedial actions and, finally, to en-
sure the dissemination of a “risk-based” approach as well 
as a robust organizational and individual culture in health 
and  safety  issues.  The  key  documentation  of  these  sys-
tems is represented by the Group’s Health and Safety Pol-
icy, developed in cooperation with the Board of Directors 
and signed by the CEO. It sets out the guiding principles, 
strategic objectives, approach and action lines and priori-
ties for continuous improvement of workplace health and 
safety performance.

For  this  reason,  each  Group  business  line  had  adopted 
its  own  Health  and  Safety  Management  System  compli-

From an operational standpoint, health and safety risks are 
assessed specifically for each site or asset on the basis of 

124 Integrated Annual Report 2023

the activities performed by workers and external environ-
mental conditions. This assessment enables us to identi-
fy  prevention  and  protection  measures  for  safety  in  the 
workplace and to plan their implementation, improvement 
and control in order to verify their effectiveness and effi-
ciency. At Group level, an analysis of events in the last three 
years  shows  that,  in  terms  of  probability  of  occurrence, 
mechanical  incidents  (falls,  collisions,  crushing  and  cuts) 
are the most common, while the most severe in terms of 
potential associated impact are electrical incidents, which 
may involve fatalities, life changing accidents or high-po-
tential  incidents,  the  latter  of  which  differ  from  fatal  and 
life changing events only in their outcome for the worker 
but not their dynamics.

Enel  uses  an  inspection  process  to  conduct  the  contin-
uous  monitoring  of  behavior  and  compliance  with  pro-
cedures and work methods in the field to ensure the ef-
fective management of risks to the workplace health and 
safety of both internal staff and external contractors. The 
process  is  managed  both  by  internal  staff  and  certified 
third-party companies and is designed to identify risk sit-
uations (non-compliance) and the related plans containing 
remedial actions, including training courses, coaching and 
dissemination of the safety culture.

As  regards  contractors  specifically,  Enel’s  approach  is  to 
consider  them  as  partners  in  embracing  the  key  princi-
ples  of  health  and  safety  for  its  workers,  who  are  there-
fore  considered  on  a  par  with  internal  employees  in  the 
application  of  these  principles  and  in  their  attention  to 
workplace  health  and  safety  issues.  Therefore,  safety  is 
integrated into the procurement process, and contractor 
performance is monitored both in the preliminary phase, 
using  the  qualification  system,  and  in  the  contract  exe-
cution  phase,  through  numerous  control  processes  and 
tools  such  as  the  Contractor  Assessment  (analyses  of 

Environment

contractors  in  the  qualification  phase  or  in  cases  where 
critical  issues  or  low  scores  emerge  in  the  evaluation  of 
the  indicators)  or  the  Evaluation  Groups  (periodic  inter-
functional  meetings  conducted  across  all  global  busi-
ness lines and geographical areas in order to evaluate the 
safety performance of suppliers and decide consequence 
management actions).

In addition to procedural and operational aspects, another 
important driver in the correct management of health and 
safety  risks  is  linked  to  training,  awareness  and  informa-
tion activities. To encourage the growth of technical skills 
and  a  safety  culture,  supporting  change  processes  and 
responding in a timely manner to the needs that emerge 
from the business, the Enel Group has developed a struc-
tured training management process, which is designed to 
transform knowledge into skills and therefore into behav-
ior.

Enel also fosters the systematic dissemination of informa-
tion and awareness among personnel through a variety of 
company  channels,  such  as  news  on  the  intranet,  infor-
mation emails, newsletters and magazines. We periodically 
conduct surveys to collect feedback from our people on 
process improvement and undertake communication ini-
tiatives  to  raise  awareness  among  all  workers  about  the 
observance of safety procedures and to create moments 
of collective reflection on the dynamics and causes of se-
rious or fatal accidents.

Finally, Enel is also constantly engaged in dialogue with in-
ternational  top  players  in  the  energy  sector  and  beyond, 
through participation in inter-company working groups to 
ensure continuous improvement by sharing best practices 
in the health and safety field, examining both operational 
processes and innovative initiatives.

Over  the  past  few  years,  society  has  acquired  a  growing 
awareness of the risks deriving from development models 
that  generate  impacts  on  the  environment  and  ecosys-
tems,  with  a  particular  emphasis  on  global  warming  and 
ever-increasing  exploitation  and  degradation  of  water 
resources.  These  impacts  have  triggered  increased  con-
cern for environmental quality and ecosystem health, with 
greater awareness of the associated risks.
An  analysis  of  environmental  risks  connected  with  Enel’s 
activities  was  conducted  using  an  integrated  and  multi-
functional approach, based on the results of the materiali-
ty analysis for impacts and dependencies. The assessment 
helped identify the main operational and financial risks as-
sociated with the environmental and social impacts of the 

various  activities  and  technologies  involved  in  our  busi-
ness, including the impact of the occupation of land and 
the transformation of ecosystems, the depletion of natu-
ral resources, including the impact of water scarcity, and 
the pollution of environmental matrices.
In  addition  to  operational  risks,  the  assessment  also  re-
garded  reputational  and  transitional  risks  resulting  from 
possible changes to the regulatory, technological or mar-
ket framework and the associated opportunities.
Enel is committed to the prevention and minimization of 
environmental  impacts  and  risks  in  all  its  operations  and 
over the entire life cycle of projects. The adoption of ISO 
14001-certified  environmental  management  systems 
across  the  entire  Group  ensures  the  implementation  of 

Risk management

125

 
structured  policies  and  procedures  to  identify  and  man-
age  environmental  risks  and  opportunities.  A  structured 
control  plan  combined  with  improvement  actions  and 
objectives  inspired  by  the  best  environmental  practices 
mitigates  the  potential  impacts  on  the  environment  and 
consequent  reputational  damage  and  litigation.  Enel  has 
also  undertaken  a  multitude  of  actions  to  achieve  chal-
lenging  environmental  improvement  objectives,  such  as 
those  regarding  atmospheric  emissions,  waste  produc-
tion and water consumption, especially in areas with high 
water stress, and impacts on natural habitats and species.
The impact on areas of high water stress is directly miti-
gated by Enel’s development strategy, which is based on 
the growth of generation from renewable sources that are 
essentially  not  dependent  on  the  availability  of  water  for 

their operation, as well as the adoption of advanced solu-
tions to reduce consumption in traditional thermal plants. 
As regards ecosystems, Enel adopts measures to protect 
and  conserve  biodiversity  and  natural  habitats,  following 
the mitigation hierarchy (avoid, minimize, restore and off-
set) and monitoring the effectiveness of the actions. Col-
laboration with local water basin management authorities 
fosters the adoption of shared strategies for the sustain-
able management of hydroelectric generation assets.
Enel  also  actively  participates  in  the  international  debate 
on  nature  and  biodiversity  issues  with  influential  stake-
holders  and  networks,  such  as  Business  for  Nature,  the 
Taskforce  on  Nature-related  Financial  Disclosure,  the 
World Business Council for Sustainable Development and 
Science Based Targets for Nature.

Procurement, logistics and supply chain

The purchasing processes of Global Procurement and the 
associated governance documents form a structured sys-
tem  of  rules  and  control  points  that  make  it  possible  to 
combine  the  achievement  of  economic  business  objec-
tives with full compliance with the fundamental principles 
set out in the Code of Ethics, the Enel Global Compliance 
Program,  the  “Zero-Tolerance-of-Corruption”  Plan  and 
the Human Rights Policy, without renouncing the promo-
tion of initiatives for sustainable economic development.
These principles have been incorporated into the organi-
zational  processes  and  controls  that  Enel  has  voluntarily 
decided  to  adopt  in  order  to  establish  relationships  of 
trust with all its stakeholders, as well as define stable and 
constructive  relationships  that  are  not  based  exclusively 
on  ensuring  financial  competitiveness  but  also  take  ac-
count  of  best  practices  in  essential  areas  for  the  Group, 
such as the avoidance of child labor, occupational health 
and safety and environmental responsibility. Thanks to the 
greater interaction and integration with the outside world 
and with the different parts of the corporate organization, 
the  procurement  process  has  assumed  an  increasingly 
central role in the creation of value. 
Global Procurement contributes to create a resilient  and 
sustainable supply chain, calling on all of us to think from 
a circular economy perspective and fostering innovation, 
sharing  the  Group’s  values  and  objectives  with  suppliers 
who  thereby  become  enablers  of  the  achievement  of 
Enel’s  targets.  More  specifically,  tenders  can  incorporate 
incentives  or  mandatory  requirements  to  produce  virtu-
ous behavior on the part of our suppliers. These include: 1) 
incentives  connected  with  the  measurement  and  reduc-
tion of the carbon footprint of suppliers, which encourage 
them to undertake improvements; 2) incentives connect-
ed with social aspects, such as the training and employ-
ment  of  people  belonging  to  local  communities  and  ac-

tions aimed at respecting gender diversity; 3) mandatory 
requirements  concerning  human  rights,  which  involves 
mapping the potential supply chain involved in the supply 
of strategic product categories.

From  the  point  of  view  of  the  procurement  process,  the 
various units adopt the tender mechanism, thus ensuring 
maximum competition and equal access opportunities for 
all operators who are in possession of the technical, eco-
nomic/financial and environmental requirements, security, 
human,  legal  and  ethical  rights.  Procurement  with  direct 
assignment and without a competitive procedure can only 
take place in exceptional cases, duly motivated, in compli-
ance with current legislation on the matter.
Furthermore,  the  single  global  supplier  qualification  sys-
tem  for  the  entire  Enel  Group,  even  before  the  procure-
ment  process  begins,  verifies  that  potential  suppliers 
who intend to participate in procurement procedures are 
aligned with the Company’s strategic vision and policies.

With  regard  to  the  risk  governance  system,  Global  Pro-
curement  is  focused  on  the  application  of  metrics  that 
indicate  the  level  of  risk  before  and  after  the  mitigation 
action, in order to implement precautionary measures to 
reduce uncertainty to a tolerable level or mitigate any im-
pacts  in  all  business,  technological  and  geographical  ar-
eas.
The  effectiveness  of  supply  chain  risk  management  is 
monitored  through  specific  indicators  that  assess  a  va-
riety  of  factors  –  including  the  probability  of  insolvency, 
the  concentration  of  contracts  with  individual  suppliers 
or  industrial  groups,  the  supplier’s  dependence  on  Enel, 
a  performance  indicator  for  the  correctness  of  conduct 
during the tender, quality, punctuality and sustainability in 
the execution of the contract, country risk, etc. – for which 

126 Integrated Annual Report 2023

thresholds have been specified to guide the definition of 
the procurement, negotiation and tender award strategy, 
enabling informed choices of risk and potential benefit.

In order to counter the consequences of the geopolitical 
situation  in  Ukraine,  which  has  increased  market  volatili-
ty and further stressed the supply chain, already strained 
during the COVID-19 pandemic, during which Enel worked 

to  differentiate  supply  sources  to  avoid  interruptions  in 
the  supply  chain,  Global  Procurement  constantly  moni-
tors  activities  related  to  the  supply/logistics  chain,  with 
the active participation of our suppliers, through a specific 
contractual monitoring obligation, to mitigate the risks as-
sociated with market shortages, logistical issues and busi-
ness interruptions.

People and organization 

The profound social, economic, demographic and cultur-
al transformations we are experiencing, from  the energy 
transition  to  the  processes  of  digitalization  and  techno-
logical innovation and the rapid diffusion of artificial intel-
ligence systems, also have a profound effect on the world 
of work, renewing its paradigms and imposing major cul-
tural and organizational changes, which require new pro-
fessional qualifications and skills.
In  order  to  deal  with  change,  it  is  essential  to  act  inclu-
sively, placing the Person at the center in his or her social 
and work dimension, with adequate tools to cope with this 
epochal transformation.
Organizations  are  increasingly  called  upon  to  move  to-
wards  new  agile  and  flexible  work  and  business  models 
that are sustainable along the entire value chain. It is also 
essential  to  adopt  policies  to  enhance  the  diversity  and 
talents of each person, understanding that the contribu-
tion of the individual represents an essential element for 
the creation of widespread and shared value.

The  centrality  of  the  Person,  constant  listening,  sharing, 
enhancement of the entrepreneurial capacities of individ-
uals, involvement, are some of the keywords that guide our 
way of working and experiencing the Company.

Thanks to an ever more efficient and streamlined organi-
zation and operational simplification, the management of 
human capital and the centrality of the Person are playing 
a key role in the implementation of the Group’s industri-
al strategy, acting as an enabling factor to which specific 

objectives are linked, including: the ongoing development 
of skills and competences; the promotion of reskilling and 
upskilling for our people (continuous, personalized, flexi-
ble, accessible and transversal) in order to enable each of 
us to effect change and be a protagonist with our distinc-
tive  contribution  to  achieving  results  while  guaranteeing 
greater satisfaction for people, understood as motivation 
and well-being; the development of systems for evaluating 
the working environment and performance; the dissemi-
nation and rigorous assessment of the effects of diversity 
and inclusion policies in all countries in which the Group 
operates,  as  well  as  instilling  an  inclusive  organizational 
culture based on the principles of non-discrimination and 
equal opportunity, key drivers for attracting and retaining 
talent.
The  Group  is  involved  in  enhancing  the  resilience  and 
flexibility  of  organizational  models  through  organization-
al  and  procedural  simplification  and  the  digitalization  of 
processes in order to enable the autonomy and account-
ability  of  individuals  and  teams  by  strengthening  people 
empowerment processes and fostering an entrepreneur-
ial approach that values people’s talents, attitudes and as-
pirations. The hybrid working method and the promotion 
of  internal  mobility,  as  well  as  the  use  of  innovative  and 
flexible organizational models, are tools aimed precisely at 
supporting this evolution of organizational culture on the 
basis of trust and responsibility, proactiveness and entre-
preneurship.

Risk management

127

Compliance risks

The risks discussed in this section are as follows:

•  Data protection

Risks connected with the protection of personal data

The Group, which is present in more than 43 countries, has 
the  largest  customer  base  in  the  public  services  sector 
(more  than  70  million  customers),  and  currently  employs 
about 61,000 people. Consequently, the Group’s business 
model requires the management of an increasingly large 
and growing volume of personal data in order to achieve 
the financial and business results envisaged in the 2024-
2026 Strategic Plan.
This exposes Enel to the risks connected with the protec-
tion of personal data. These risks may result in the loss of 
confidentiality,  integrity  or  availability  of  the  personal  in-
formation  of  our  customers,  employees  and  others,  with 

the risk of incurring fines determined on the basis of glob-
al turnover, the prohibition of the use of certain processes 
and consequent financial losses and reputational harm.
In order to manage and mitigate this risk, Enel has adopt-
ed  a  model  for  the  global  governance  of  personal  data, 
with the appointment of personnel responsible for privacy 
issues at all levels (including the appointment of Data Pro-
tection Officers at the global and country levels) and digital 
compliance tools to map applications and processes and 
manage risks with an impact on protecting personal data, 
in compliance with specific local regulations in this field.

GROUP 
PERFORMANCE

	● Solid results in 2023, with ordinary EBITDA of €22 billion (+11.6%) 

and an ordinary net profit of €6.5 billion (+20.7%)

The increase is mainly attributable to the positive performance of 
the integrated businesses and distribution activities, net of changes 
in the consolidation scope and Stewardship transactions compared 
with the previous year.  

	● Net financial debt/ordinary EBITDA at about 2.7x (compared with 

3.1x at end-2022) 

Positive cash flows generated by operations, the sale of a number 
of investments no longer considered strategic, the effects of the 
issue of perpetual hybrid subordinated non-convertible bonds 
and the recognition of investment grants more than offset for 
cash requirements of investment in the period and the payment of 
dividends.

	● A simple, predictable and attractive dividend policy

The total dividend proposed for the 2023 financial year is equal 
to €0.43 per share (of which €0.215 per share already paid as an 
interim dividend in January 2024), an increase of 7.5% compared 
with the total dividend of €0.40 per share paid for the 2022 financial 
year.

DEFINITION OF 
PERFORMANCE 
MEASURES

In  order  to  present  the  performance  of  the  Group  and 
analyze 
its  financial  structure,  separate  reclassified 
schedules  have  been  prepared  that  differ  from  the 
schedules  envisaged  under  the  IFRS-EU  adopted  by 
the  Group  and  contained  in  the  consolidated  financial 
statements.  These  reclassified  schedules  contain  differ-
ent performance measures from those obtained directly 
from  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  in  line  with 
the  ESMA  Guidelines  on  Alternative  Performance  Mea-
sures  (ESMA/2015/1415)  published  on  October  5,  2015. 
Management believes that these measures are useful in 
monitoring the performance of the Group and represen-
tative  of  the  financial  performance  and  position  of  our 
business, ensuring greater comparability over time.

With regard to those measures, on April 29, 2021, CON-
SOB issued warning notice no. 5/2021, which gives force 
to  the  Guidelines  issued  on  March  4,  2021,  by  the  Eu-
ropean Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) on dis-
closure  requirements  under  Regulation  (EU)  2017/1129 
(the  Prospectus  Regulation),  which  took  effect  on  May 
5, 2021 and replace the references to the CESR Recom-
mendations and those contained in Communication no. 
DEM/6064293 of July 28, 2006 regarding the net finan-
cial position. 
The Guidelines update the previous CESR Recommenda-
tions (ESMA/2013/319, in the revised version of March 20, 
2013) with the exception of those concerning the special 
issuers referred to in Annex no. 29 of Delegated Regula-
tion (EU) 2019/980, which were not converted into Guide-
lines and remain applicable.
The  Guidelines  are  intended  to  promote  the  usefulness 
and  transparency  of  alternative  performance  measures 
included in regulated information or prospectuses within 
the scope of application of Directive 2003/71/EC in or-
der  to  improve  their  comparability,  reliability  and  com-
prehensibility.
In line with the regulations cited above, the criteria used 
to construct these measures for the Enel Group are the 
following.

Gross  operating  profit  (EBITDA):  an  operating  perfor-
mance  indicator,  calculated  as  the  sum  of  “Operating 
profit”,  “Net  impairment/(reversals  of  impairment)  on 

132 Integrated Annual Report 2023

trade receivables and other receivables” and “Deprecia-
tion, amortization and other impairment”. 

Ordinary  gross  operating  profit  (ordinary  EBITDA):  de-
fined  as  “Gross  operating  profit”  from  core  businesses 
connected  with  the  Ownership,  Partnership  and  Stew-
ardship business models with which the Group operates 
plus the ordinary gross operating profit of discontinued 
operations where present. It does not include costs con-
nected with corporate restructurings and “Extraordinary 
solidarity  levies”  imposed  by  local  foreign  governments 
on energy companies.

Ordinary  operating  profit:  defined  as  “Operating  profit” 
plus  the  ordinary  operating  profit  of  discontinued  op-
erations,  excluding  the  effects  of  transactions  not  con-
nected  with  core  operations  referred  to  with  regard  to 
ordinary  gross  operating  profit.  It  also  excludes  signifi-
cant  impairment  losses  (including  reversals  of  impair-
ment  losses)  on  assets  and/or  groups  of  assets  follow-
ing an assessment of the recoverability of their carrying 
amount under the provisions of “IAS 36 - Impairment of 
assets” or “IFRS 5 - Non-current assets held for sale and 
discontinued operations”.

Group  ordinary  profit:  it  is  determined  by  adjusting 
“Group  profit”  for  the  items  discussed  under  “Ordinary 
operating  profit”,  taking  account  of  any  tax  effects  and 
non-controlling interests.
Also excluded are a number of financial components not 
strictly  attributable  to  the  Group’s  core  business  oper-
ations  and  the  extraordinary  solidarity  levy  imposed  on 
energy companies in Italy.

Net non-current assets: calculated as the difference be-
tween “Non-current assets” and “Non-current liabilities” 
with the exception of:
•  “Deferred tax assets”;
•  “Other non-current financial assets included in net fi-
nancial debt” included in “Other non-current financial 
assets”;

•  “Long-term borrowings”;
•  “Employee benefits”;
•  “Provisions for risks and charges (non-current portion)”;

•  “Deferred tax liabilities”;
•  “Other non-current financial liabilities”.

Net working capital: calculated as the difference between 
“Current assets” and “Current liabilities” with the excep-
tion of:
•  “Current financial assets included in net financial debt” 

included in “Other current financial assets”; 

•  “Cash and cash equivalents”;
•  “Short-term  borrowings”  and  the  “Current  portion  of 

long-term borrowings”;

•  “Provisions for risks and charges (current portion)”;
•  “Other current financial liabilities included in net finan-
cial  debt”  included  in  “Other  current  financial  liabili-
ties”.

Net assets held for sale: calculated as the algebraic sum 
of  “Assets  classified  as  held  for  sale”  and  “Liabilities  in-
cluded in disposal groups classified as held for sale”.

Net  capital  employed:  calculated  as  the  sum  of  “Net 
non-current  assets”  and  “Net  working  capital”,  “Provi-
sions  for  risks  and  charges”,  “Employee  benefits”,  “De-
ferred tax liabilities” and “Deferred tax assets”, as well as 
“Net assets held for sale”.

Net financial debt: a financial structure indicator, deter-
mined by:

•  “Long-term  borrowings”,  “Short-term  borrowings”, 
“Current  portion  of  long-term  borrowings”,  “Other 
non-current financial liabilities” and “Other current fi-
nancial liabilities included in net financial debt” includ-
ed in “Other current financial liabilities”;

•  net of “Cash and cash equivalents”;
•  net of “Current financial assets included in net finan-
cial debt” included in “Other current financial assets”, 
which include: (i) the current portion of long-term loan 
assets, (ii) securities, (iii) loan assets and (iv) other cur-
rent financial assets;

•  net  of  “Non-current  financial  assets  included  in  net 
financial  debt”  included  in  “Other  non-current  finan-
cial assets”, which include (i) securities and (ii) financial 
assets.

More generally, the net financial debt of the Enel Group 
is  reported  in  accordance  with  Guideline  39,  issued  on 
March 4, 2021 by ESMA, applicable as from May 5, 2021, 
and with the above warning notice no. 5/2021 issued by 
CONSOB on April 29, 2021.
A  reconciliation  of  the  Group’s  financial  debt  as  deter-
mined  with  the  criteria  indicated  above  and  the  finan-
cial  debt  determined  in  accordance  with  the  criteria  of 
CONSOB  Communication  no.  DEM/6064293  of  July  28, 
2006 is reported in note 47 to the consolidated financial 
statements.

Performance of the Group

135

Net  electricity  generated  by  Enel  in  2023  decreased  by 
20.44 TWh compared with 2022, the result of lower ther-
mal generation (-34.97 TWh) essentially due to a reduction 
in  quantities  generated  by  fuel  oil  and  turbo-gas  plants 
(-6.63 TWh) and combined-cycle plants (-17.73 TWh), tak-
ing  into  account  the  divestment  of  operations  in  Russia, 
Argentina  (Enel  Generación  Costanera  and  Central  Sud 
Dock) and Brazil (Central Geradora Termelétrica Fortaleza 

- CGTF), as well as the decrease in coal generation (-8.97 
TWh), mainly in Italy.
The increase in generation from renewable sources (14.53 
TWh)  is  essentially  attributable  to  greater  hydroelectric 
generation (9.26 TWh), which benefited from greater wa-
ter availability in several countries, and to solar generation 
(3.30 TWh), mainly in Chile, the United States and Iberia.

At  the  end  of  December  2023,  the  Group’s  net  efficient 
installed capacity totaled 81.4 GW, a decrease of 3.2 GW 
from 2022. 
As mentioned in relation to electricity generation, the re-
duction in net efficient generation capacity is also main-
ly attributable to the sale of thermal generation assets in 

Argentina.  However,  this  decrease  was  mitigated  by  the 
increase  in  net  efficient  renewables  capacity  (+1.9  GW) 
as a result of renewable energy investments made by the 
Group during the year (+4.03 GW), which was partly offset 
by plant disposals in Romania, Greece, Australia, Chile and 
India.

(1)  The figure for 2022 reflects a more accurate calculation of the aggregate. 
(2)  Of which 28.7 million second-generation smart meters in 2023 and 25.2 million in 2022.
(3) 

It should be noted that the figures shown, if they also included the charging points of the companies managed in joint ventures, would amount to 25,337 
at December 31, 2023, and 22,617 at December 31, 2022.

Electricity  transported  on  Enel’s  distribution  grid 
amounted to 489.2 TWh in 2023, a decrease of 18.5 TWh 
(-3.6%) compared with the previous year, mainly attribut-
able  to  Brazil  (-11.6  TWh),  especially  for  the  sale  of  Celg 
Distribução SA - Celg-D (Enel Goiás) at the end of 2022, as 
well as the decrease in quantities in Italy (-6.3 TWh), Chile 
(-3.1 TWh) and Romania (-3.0 TWh) due to the changes in 
the consolidation scope. These effects were slightly offset 
by increases in Spain (+4.7 TWh). 

The  number  of  Enel  end  users  with  active  smart  meters 
decreased  by  652,004  in  2023  due  to  the  deconsolida-
tion of operations in Romania (a decrease of 1,285,969). 
These  effects  were  partially  offset  by  increases  in  Brazil 
(+412,667), Italy (+129,439) and Spain (+87,218). 

Electricity sold by Enel in 2023 came to 300.9 TWh, de-
creasing by 20.2 TWh (-6.3%) compared with the previous 
year. 
The  decrease  in  the  volumes  of  electricity  sold  in  2023 
was mainly concentrated on the regulated market in Brazil 
(-9.7 TWh), as a result of the sale of Enel Goiás, and in Italy 
(-6.8 TWh) with the ongoing transition of customers to the 
free market, due in part to the pending elimination of the 
enhanced-protection market set for June 2024.

With  regard  to  the  free  market,  volume  decreases  were 
seen mainly in Italy (-3.1 TWh) and Spain (-0.6 TWh), partially 
offset by increases in Brazil (+2.2 TWh) and Chile (+0.6 TWh).

In addition, natural gas sales in 2023 amounted to 8,324 
million  cubic  meters,  down  1,919  million  cubic  meters 
compared  with  the  previous  year,  mainly  in  Spain  (down 
1,107  million  cubic  meters)  and  in  Italy  (down  577  million 
cubic meters).

Active  public  charging  points  for  electric  cars  at  De-
cember 31, 2023 numbered 24,281, an increase of 2,169 
compared with 2022, mainly in Spain (+1,824) and in Italy 
(+846). 

Demand  response  capacity  in  2023  amounted  to  9,588 
MW, an increase of 1,112 MW compared with the previous 
year, mainly in Japan (+494 MW), North America (+273 MW) 
and Italy (+256 MW).

Finally, storage at December 31, 2023 amounted to 1,730 
MW, an increase of 970 MW due mainly to the installation 
of  new  batteries  at  renewable  energy  plants  (+931  MW), 
mainly in North America (+736 MW) and Italy (+159 MW).

138 Integrated Annual Report 2023

In 2023, total direct and indirect emissions (i.e. Scopes 1, 
2  and  3)  amounted  to  94.3  MtCO2eq,  an  all-time  low,  re-
versing the rising trend seen in 2021 and 2022 following 
the global energy crisis. More specifically, total emissions 
decreased by 26.3% compared with 2022 (127.9 MtCO2eq).
This was mainly due to an overall improvement in the main 
operational performance measures, which have helped to 
reduce direct and indirect emissions throughout the en-
tire value chain, including a 38% reduction in thermal gen-
eration due to lower coal and CCGT generation in Italy and 
Iberia and the sale of thermal plants in Russia in 2022 and 
in Argentina in 2023, the 19% volume reduction in natural 
gas sold to end users, and the 24% reduction in the ratio of 
greenhouse gas emissions to supply chain spending com-
pared with 2022. In addition, the digitalization and auto-
mation of electricity grids have also helped to reduce grid 
losses and enable the development of renewables, there-
by playing a key role in the Group’s decarbonization efforts, 
as well as in the decarbonization of the energy systems in 
which the Group operates.
Scope  1  GHG  emissions  amounted  to  34.51  MtCO2eq  in 
2023,  representing  36.6%  of  total  GHG  emissions,  down 
35%  compared  with  the  53.07  MtCO2eq  of  2022.  Of  the 
total, 94.9% of these emissions are linked to the process 
of burning fuels for electricity generation, which has ben-
efited  from  the  reduction  in  thermal  generation  and  the 
increase in generation from renewable sources.

Electricity generated by Enel in 2023 from zero-emission 
sources amounted to 73.2% of total generation, increas-
ing  considerably  from  the  61.0%  registered  in  2022  due 
mainly to an increase in the contribution of hydroelectric 
and solar generation.

Our constant commitment to improving air quality in the 
areas  where  Enel  operates  is  underscored  by  the  atten-
tion paid to reducing emissions of the main air pollutants 
associated with thermal generation, namely sulfur dioxide 
(SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and particulates.
In 2023, there was a decrease in NOx emissions compared 
with 2022, in both absolute and specific terms, linked to 
the concomitant lower overall generation by gas and CCGT 
plants  in  Italy  and  Iberia  and  to  the  sale  of  plants  in  Ar-
gentina. SO2 and particulate emissions, on the other hand, 
have increased compared with last year as a consequence 
of the increased coal generation in Latin America (Colom-
bia), which is normally inactive, due to specific generation 
needs resulting from intense drought associated with the 
effects of El Niño, which caused a significant alteration of 
the balance of rainfall. More specifically, specific emissions 
of SO2 were equal to 0.09 g/kWheq (+28.6% compared with 
the 2022 value of 0.07 g/kWheq), with NOx at 0.26 g/kWheq 
(-18.8%  compared  with  the  2022  value  of  0.32  g/kWheq) 
and particulates at 0.006 g/kWheq (+20.0% compared with 
the 2022 value of 0.005 g/kWheq). 

Protection and development of natural capital

The  protection  of  natural  capital  and  combating  climate 
change are strategic factors that are integrated into plan-
ning and in business management and development, so as 
to promote the sustainable economic development of the 
communities in which the Group operates, and are decid-
ing factors in consolidating the Enel’s leadership in energy 
markets. 
As an energy company, our operations depend on natural 
resources but, at the same time, have an impact on those 

resources. This is why Enel integrates assessments of risks 
and opportunities into Group governance and into our de-
cision-making processes in line with international frame-
works by setting specific targets over time. 
The decarbonization of our energy mix, along with our ob-
jectives to reduce our impact on nature, to reclaim habi-
tats, and to share the benefits of ecosystem services with 
our communities, are cornerstones of Enel’s sustainability 
strategy.

The water needed in electricity generation is obtained from 
“non-scarce” sources (i.e. seawater used as-is in open-cy-
cle cooling processes or undergoing desalination to obtain 
demineralized and industrial water) and, only where neces-
sary,  from  scarce  sources  (surface,  underground  and  civ-
il-use fresh water). In 2023, there was a significant reduc-
tion in total water withdrawals (-27.6% from 76 million cubic 
meters in 2022 to 55 million cubic meters in 2023) due to 
lower thermal generation in Italy, Iberia and Latin America 
and  nuclear  generation  in  Spain,  which  corresponds  to  a 
13%  reduction  in  total  specific  withdrawals  of  fresh  water 

(0.20 l/kWheq in 2023 compared with 0.23 l/kWheq in 2022). 
This  decrease  was  also  seen  for  withdrawals  of  fresh  wa-
ter in water-stressed areas,(38) from 12.4 x103 million liters in 
2022 to 10.3 x103 million liters (-17%), although less severe 
than the reduction recorded in total withdrawals, with an in-
crease in the relative percentage of water withdrawn from 
water-stressed areas out of the total (+20.7%, from 19.3% in 
2022 to 23.3% in 2023). 
About  11.6%  of  total  electricity  generated  by  the  Enel 
Group used fresh water in water-stressed areas, deriving 
mainly from thermal and nuclear plants. 

Enel’s commitment to biodiversity

Enel  has  extensive  experience  managing  and  preserving 
biodiversity in and around our production sites in an ev-
er-increasing number of countries. In 2019, Enel adopted 
Group guidelines that establish the principles and proce-
dures  for  managing  our  impact  on  biodiversity  and  eco-
system  services  (BES)  throughout  the  entire  life  cycle  of 
our plants, from development and operations to decom-
missioning.
The identification of potential impacts on biodiversity and 
nature  is  essential  in  order  to  define  the  most  effective 
strategies to avoid, minimize, remedy or compensate for 
the associated effects, through application of the Mitiga-
tion Hierarchy. In the same way, identifying all that depends 

on  biodiversity  and  natural  capital  enables  us  to  identify 
the best strategies to reduce any consequent risks.  
In  2023,  we  pursued  183  projects  to  safeguard  species 
and natural habitats in and around operational plants, 57 
of which were developed in partnership with government, 
non-governmental  organizations,  and  universities,  for  a 
total investment of €10.8 million. These projects were car-
ried out throughout the world. 
Also in 2023, we carried out a further 60 projects related 
to  plants  under  construction,  mainly  in  Brazil,  Chile,  Co-
lombia, Italy and Spain, aimed at protecting and monitor-
ing the indigenous species affected, for a total investment 
of over €9 million.

In  2023,  revenue  decreased  by  €44,952  million  (-32.0%) 
from the €140,517 million of 2022. Specifically, this reduc-
tion  is  related  both  to  the  lower  quantities  of  electricity 
sold on the wholesale and retail markets and to the trends 
in average selling prices of commodities in the two years 
compared, which also significantly impacted the recogni-
tion of sales contracts with physical settlement. 
The reduction in revenue also reflects the effects deriving 
from the deconsolidation of certain companies sold in the 
second  half  of  2022  (specifically  Enel  Transmisión  Chile, 
Celg  Distribuição  SA  -  Celg-D  (Enel  Goiás)  and  Fortaleza 
CGT in Brazil) and in early 2023 (Enel Generación Costane-
ra  and  Central  Dock  Sud  in  Argentina),  effects  of  which 
were only partially offset by the greater revenue recorded 
in  generation  from  renewable  sources,  especially  in  Italy 

and Spain, from hydroelectric plants and, in Latin America, 
from wind and solar plants.
It should also be noted that “other income” recognized in 
2023 includes revenue totaling €557 million deriving from 
the partial sale, with loss of control, of assets in Australia

of certain renewable energy companies operating in Chile 
(€195  million),  and  from  the  end-of-concession  gain  of 
Enel CIEN for €99 million. In 2022, income included reve-
nue deriving from the sale of transmission assets in Chile 
(€1,051 million) as well as ordinary income related to Stew-
ardship  transactions  involving  the  sale  of  investments  in 
Ufinet (€220 million), Gridspertise (for a total of €520 mil-
lion), and a number of companies to Mooney Group SpA

Costs decreased by €50,620 million, mainly due to the gen-
eral reduction in the average prices of energy commodities, 
also connected to a reduction in volumes. 
This reduction was also affected by a decrease in transport 
costs  in  Italy  due  to  lower  volumes  and  in  Spain  due  to  a 
change in rates, by lower ancillary costs in the gas business 
in Chile associated with lower sales, by lower costs for ser-
vice concession arrangement in Brazil, a decrease in pur-
chases of CO2 allowances and lower costs for material pur-
chases as a result of the change in the consolidation scope.
These effects were partially offset by higher costs for ear-

ly-retirement  incentives  and  by  the  effects  of  regulatory 
measures related to the clawback in Italy and Spain, as well 
as an increase of €515 million in costs in Spain related to an 
arbitration dispute with a Qatari gas supplier.

It should also be noted that, in 2023, charges deriving from 
the  sale  of  Enel  Generación  Costanera  SA,  Central  Dock 
Sud SA, and the El Chocón plant, in Argentina, were recog-
nized for a total of €363 million, as well as from the adjust-
ment of the price related to the sale of Celg Distribuição SA 
- Celg-D (Enel Goiás) (€23 million).

(1)  The figures for 2022 for the End-user Market Business Line have been adjusted to take account of the values for Enel X and Enel X Way. The latter had 

previously been reported under Holding, Services and Other.

Ordinary  gross  operating  profit  amounted  to  €21,969 
million  in  2023,  an  increase  of  €2,286  million  compared 
with 2022 (+11.6%), mainly due to the increase of €2,627 
million in profit deriving from the operation of Integrated 
Businesses  (the  combination  of  the  business  of  Thermal 
Generation  and  Trading,  Enel  Green  Power  and  End-us-
er Markets) and the performance of Enel Grids, where the 
changes in the consolidation scope as a result of the sale 
of certain distribution assets in Brazil and Chile were more 
than offset by the positive impact of rate adjustments in 
Latin America. 
In addition, the Integrated Businesses margin includes the 
recognition, in 2023, of charges related to the definition of 
an arbitration award for the supply of gas in Spain (€515 

million) and the benefit of €481 million recognized in 2022 
following an agreement with Shell in Chile. Excluding these 
two factors, Integrated Businesses performance improved 
by €3,623 million.  
The overall change in ordinary gross operating margin also 
reflects revenue from Stewardship transactions complet-
ed during the two years compared. More specifically, the 
positive  effects  of  the  2023  divestments  of  Enel  Green 
Power Australia (€103 million) and Enel Green Power Hel-
las (€422 million) were more than offset by the impact of 
proceeds from 2022 divestments relating to Ufinet (€220 
million), the sale of the finance companies of Enel X to the 
Mooney  Group  (€67  million)  and  the  partial  disposal  of 
Gridspertise (€520 million).

Integrated Businesses

Enel  has  chosen  to  pursue  an  integrated  strategy  in  our 
core  countries  (i.e.  Italy,  Spain,  the  United  States,  Brazil, 
Chile  and  Colombia),  where  the  Group  has  a  widespread 
presence and a customer base to which to distribute the 
electricity generated. 
This integrated strategy aims to maximize the margin on 
electricity  sold,  particularly  by  relying  on  gradual  reduc-
tions in sourcing costs (i.e. the cost of generating and/or 
procuring  the  commodity),  connected  to  the  increase  in 
renewable energy in our generation mix, in addition to the 
expansion of volumes linked to the electrification of con-
sumption, with consequent benefits for the Group, for our 
customers, and for all stakeholders generally.
The  ordinary  gross  operating  margin  relating  to  the  In-
tegrated  Businesses  encompassed  by  this  strategy  (the 
“Integrated Businesses margin”) therefore stems from the 
integration of the electricity value chain and includes the 
results from electricity generation (i.e. Enel Green Power, 
Thermoelectric  Generation  and  Trading)  and  the  sale  of 
electricity and services (End-user Markets). 

In greater detail, the main businesses included in this Inte-
grated Businesses margin are the following:
1.  Electricity – free market, which consists of:

 – Integrated  energy  business:  including  electricity 

business  on  the  free  market  and  generation  from 
renewable and thermal sources;

 – Enel X: including all services provided to customers;
 – Mobility:  encompassing  the  activities  of  innovation, 
development and commercialization of electric mo-
bility solutions.

2.  Electricity – regulated market, which refers to regulated 
generation activities (capacity market, essential plants, 
incentives  received  for  renewable  energy,  etc.)  and  to 
the commercialization of energy on regulated markets.
3.  Gas, which includes the retail and wholesale commer-

cialization of natural gas.

4.  Trading and services, which includes portfolio optimiza-

tion and generation balancing services.

These are the businesses included in the Integrated Busi-
nesses margin, which, as mentioned, are as follows:
•  Thermal Generation and Trading;
•  Enel Green Power;
•  End-user  Markets,  which  includes  Retail,  Enel  X  and 

Enel X Way.

The  following  table  presents  the  Integrated  Businesses 
margin by business line and by geographical area, exclud-
ing the impact of Stewardship transactions.

The  Integrated  Businesses  margin  increased  by  €2,627 
million due mainly to the improvement of margins on free 
market sales, especially in Italy and Spain as average sales 
prices  rose  compared  with  the  previous  year,  which  was 
characterized  by  significant  price  instability.  This  factor 
was only partially offset by changes in consolidation scope 
between the two periods and by the reduction in the gen-
eration margin. With regard to generation, the increase in 

renewable energy (+14.5 TWh), mainly from hydroelectric 
sources in Italy, Chile, Colombia and Spain, together with 
the different sales price in trading activities, partially offset 
the effects of lower amounts of electricity generated from 
conventional  sources  and  the  recognition  of  regulatory 
measures related to the clawback in Italy in the amount of 
€357 million.

previously been reported under Holding, Services and Other.

The gross operating profit for 2023 amounted to €20,255 
million,  an  increase  of  €337  million  compared  with  the 
previous year. This change essentially reflects the effects 
mentioned  in  relation  to  ordinary  gross  operating  profit, 
excluding the effects attributable to discontinued opera-
tions, as well as the non-recurring results largely deriving 
from the disposal of certain investments in the two years 
being compared. For 2023, the latter are attributable to the 
disposals of thermal generation operations in Argentina (a 

total charge of €363 million) and the sale of certain renew-
able plants in Chile (a gain of €195 million), while for 2022 
they regarded the sale of the companies Enel Transmisión 
Chile in Chile and of the thermal generation company CGT 
Fortaleza and the distribution company Celg Distribuição 
SA  -  Celg-D  (Enel  Goiás)  in  Brazil.  These  divestments  re-
sulted  in  recognition  of  a  gain  of  €1,051  million  for  Enel 
Transmisión  Chile  and  charges  for  Enel  Goiás  (€208  mil-
lion) and CGT Fortaleza (€135 million).

146 Integrated Annual Report 2023

Operating  profit  decreased  by  €361  million  compared 
with  the  previous  year.  This  change  reflects  the  factors 
commented  above  in  relation  to  gross  operating  profit, 
the effects of which were more than offset by the increase 
in depreciation, amortization and impairment recognized 
in 2023.
During  the  year,  net  impairment  losses  amounted  to 
€1,736  million,  of  which  €1,234  million  in  respect  of  a 
number of wind and photovoltaic generation plants in the 
United States. Those plants underwent verification of the 
recoverability of their carrying amounts, mainly due to the 
continuation of adverse economic conditions connected 
with dispatching costs for electricity generated in certain 
markets,  which  gradually  consolidated  during  the  year, 
accompanied  by  a  general  deterioration  of  the  macro-
economic environment and the initiation and implemen-

tation  by  management  of  specific  restructuring  plans  in 
the  country,  which  have  had  a  significant  impact  on  the 
recoverable values of those assets. 
Other impairment losses were recognized in North Amer-
ica  on  the  assets  of  Enel  X  (€57  million)  and  Enel  X  Way 
(€69 million). 
Finally, in 2023, an impairment loss of €171 million was rec-
ognized on the Colombian Windpeshi wind project, sub-
ject to reclassification among net assets held for sale, in 
accordance with the provisions of IFRS 5. 
Impairment losses totaling €1,361 million were recognized 
in 2022, in accordance with IFRS 5, on assets involved in 
disposals, mainly related to Celg Distribuição SA - Celg-D 
(Enel Goiás) (€827 million) and CGT Fortaleza (€73 million) 
in Brazil and Enel Generación Costanera (€174 million) and 
Central Dock Sud (€116 million) in Argentina.  

Profit/(Loss) from discontinued operations 

Discontinued operations posted a net loss of €371 million, 
which, in 2023, includes the profits and losses relating to 
the  net  discontinued  operations  of  the  companies  that 
make  up  the  geographical  areas  of  Russia,  Romania  and 

Greece,  classified as  such  based on  the  requirements of 
“IFRS 5 - Non-current assets held for sale and discontin-
ued operations”.

(1)  The figure for 2022 has been adjusted to reflect the classification of the “Share of profit/(loss) of equity-accounted investments” referring to Rusenergos-

byt LLC, a Russian company sold in December 2023, to “discontinued operations”.

It should be noted that, in addition to the financial perfor-
mance  of  these  companies  (a  net  profit  of  €161  million), 
the figure includes the charges related to the sale of as-
sets owned in Romania in the amount of €670 million and 
charges connected with the sale of Rusenergosbyt in Rus-
sia in the amount of €124 million. These effects were partly 

offset by the gain recognized at the end of 2023 on the 
sale of assets in Greece (€262 million). 
In 2022, in addition to the financial performance of these 
companies (a net loss of €1,180 million), the figure reflect-
ed  effects  of  the  loss  on  the  divestment  in  Russia  in  the 
amount of €1,054 million.

Group ordinary profit/(loss)

Group ordinary profit for 2023 amounted to €6,508 mil-
lion, an increase of €1,117 million (+20.7%) compared with 
the €5,391 million of the previous year.
This  increase  in  ordinary  operating  profit  and  the  de-
crease in non-controlling interests in ordinary profit more 
than  offset  the  increase  in  net  financial  expense  due  to

the trend in interest rates. In absolute terms, taxes also in-
creased as a result of the improvement of pre-tax profit, 
while the tax rate increased mainly as a result of the write-
down of deferred tax assets in the United States, Mexico 
and Peru (€180 million).

Group profit in 2023 came to €3,438 million (€1,682 mil-
lion in 2022), an increase of €1,756 million compared with 
2022. The table below provides a reconciliation of Group 
profit with Group ordinary profit, indicating the non-recur-

ring  items  and  their  respective  impact  on  performance, 
net of the associated tax effects and non-controlling in-
terests.

(1)  The figure for 2022 has been adjusted on the basis of more accurate information. The amount mainly includes “total tax borne”, which is the total amount 
paid by the Enel Group (including the Greek and Romanian companies in both years) for taxes recognized in profit or loss. For more information on total tax 
borne, please see the 2023 Sustainability Report and the Consolidated Non-Financial Statement. 

The economic value generated and distributed directly by 
Enel provides a good indication of how the Group has cre-
ated wealth for all stakeholders. 
The  decrease  in  value  generated  directly  mainly  reflects 
the  reduction  in  revenue  from  the  sale  of  energy  com-
modities, in particular gas and electricity, due both to the 
smaller quantities transacted on the wholesale and retail 
markets and to the reduction in average prices.

The decline in operating expenses is mainly due to the re-
duction in costs for electricity and gas purchases due to 
the decrease in volumes and average prices, as well as the 
decrease in costs for transport and CO2 allowances.
Payments  to  providers  of  capital  mainly  increased  in  re-
flection of interest expense, primarily connected with the 
rise  in  interest  rates.  In  addition,  dividend  payments  in-
creased compared with the previous year.

150 Integrated Annual Report 2023

Property,  plant  and  equipment  and  intangible  assets  in-
creased due essentially to capital expenditure in the peri-
od (€11,919 million), the capitalization of financial expense 
(€300 million), the activation of new IFRS 16 rights of use 
(€684 million), and the effect of impairment losses relat-
ed to the hyperinflation of assets held in Argentina (€914 
million). These impacts were partially offset by the classi-
fication of certain assets as held for sale (€4,293 million), 
essentially referring to distribution and generation assets 
in  Peru,  as  well  as  by  depreciation,  amortization  and  im-
pairment  losses  recognized  for  the  year  (€7,825  million) 
and adverse exchange rate developments (€1,226 million), 
referring essentially to Latin America.

Goodwill decreased mainly as a result of the above-men-
tioned  classifications  of  certain  Peruvian  companies  as 
available for sale (€616 million) and the impairment recog-
nized on the assets of Enel X and Enel X Way in the United 
States  (€126  million).  These  effects  are  partially  offset  by 
favorable exchange rate developments (€42 million).

Equity-accounted  investments  increased  mainly  due  to 
the consolidation at equity of joint ventures in Greece and 
Australia following the partial sale, with loss of control, of 
the related companies and the impairment loss on Slovak 
Power Holding. These impacts were partially offset by the 
effects deriving from the sale of Rusenergosbyt.

Net  working  capital  increased,  compared  with  Decem-
ber 31, 2022, by €243 million, mainly due to an increase in 
trade receivables and a decrease in trade payables. These 
impacts were partly offset by an increase in payables to in-
stitutional electricity market operators, mainly in Italy due 
to the gradual restoration, in 2023, of the charges related 
to the support of renewable energy and cogeneration, and 
in Spain for other components payable to market opera-
tors.

Net assets held for sale increased mainly as a result of the 
classification  among  the  net  assets  held  for  the  sale  of 
generation and distribution companies in Peru, net of the 
divestments  during  the  year.  For  a  more  detailed  break-
down  of  the  aggregate  and  related  changes,  please  see 
note 36 of the consolidated financial statements.

Net  capital  employed  at  December  31,  2023  came  to 
€105,272 million (€102,743 million at December 31, 2022) 
and was covered by €45,109 million in equity attributable 
to owners of the Parent and non-controlling interests and 
€60,163  million  in  net  financial  debt.  With  regard  to  net 
debt, the debt-to-equity ratio at December 31, 2023 was 
1.33 (compared with 1.44 at December 31, 2022).

In order to facilitate analysis of developments in Group net financial debt, thereby ensuring greater comparability over time, management has decided 
to exclude the fair value of the cash flow hedge and fair value hedge derivatives used to hedge the exchange rate risk on loans. Accordingly, in order to 
improve the comparability of the figures, it was necessary to recalculate net financial debt at December 31, 2022. 

Net  financial  debt,  in  the  amount  of  €60,163  million  at 
December 31, 2023, decreased by €500 million from the 
€60,663  million  of  December  31,  2022.  Cash  flows  gen-
erated  by  operating  activities  (€14,620  million)  and  from 
the sale of certain investments included within the Group’s 
divestment plan (for a total of €2,083 million, mainly relat-
ed to the sale of the Romanian companies, a shareholding 
in companies in Greece, and certain renewable generation 
companies  in  Chile  and  Argentina),  the  effects  of  the  is-
suance of perpetual hybrid subordinated non-convertible 
bonds  (€986  million),  the  recognition  of  NRRP  contribu-

tions in Italy to support investment as well as the change in 
net financial liabilities associated with assets available for 
sale (€720 million) substantially offset the cash flows used 
in investing activities (€12,714 million) and the payment of 
dividends (€5,317 million, including coupons paid to hold-
ers of hybrid bonds in the amount of €182 million). 

Gross  financial  debt  at  December  31,  2023  came  to 
€74,949  million,  a  decrease  of  €14,469  million  from  the 
previous year.

More specifically, gross long-term financial debt (includ-
ing the short-term portion), in the amount of €70,179 mil-
lion, includes €45,147 million in sustainable financing and 
is structured as follows:
•  bonds  in  the  amount  of  €50,342  million,  of  which 
€30,822 million in sustainable bonds, down €1,349 mil-
lion  compared  with  December  31,  2022.  This  change 
is mainly the result of redemptions, including a hybrid 
bond of Enel SpA in the amount of $1,250 million (equal 
to €1,132 million at December 31, 2023), currency gains, 
and  changes  in  the  consolidation  scope,  only  partially 
offset by new issues, including a multi-tranche sustain-
ability-linked bond issued by Enel Finance International 
in the total amount of €1,500 million in February 2023;
•  bank  borrowings  in  the  amount  of  €16,492  million, 
€14,325 million of which related to sustainable financ-
ing. These borrowings increased by €341 million com-
pared with the previous year due mainly to the use of 
new  financing  that  was  only  partially  offset  by  repay-
ments  made  during  the  period.  Of  note  among  new 
bank borrowings: 
 – a  sustainability-linked  line  of  credit  granted  by  EKF 
to Enel Finance America used at December 31, 2023 
for $370 million (equal to €335 million at December 
31, 2023); 

 – financing  linked  to  sustainability  goals  granted  by 
the European Investment Bank to various companies 
of the Group for a total value of €874 million;
•  other  borrowings  in  the  amount  of  €3,345  million,  an 

increase of €161 million from the previous year.

Gross  short-term  financial  debt,  which  decreased  by 
€13,622  million  from  December  31,  2022,  totals  €4,770 
million and consists of commercial paper, all linked to sus-
tainability objectives, in the amount of €2,499 million, cash 
collateral  in  the  amount  of  €1,383  million,  other  short-
term financial payables in the amount of €495 million, and 
other short-term bank borrowings in the amount of €393 
million. 

Cash and cash equivalents and short- and long-term fi-
nancial  assets,  totaling  €14,786  million,  decreased  by 
€13,969  million  compared  with  the  end  of  2022,  mainly 
due to the €5,420 million decrease in financial receivables 
for cash collateral, the €4,237 million decrease in cash and 
cash equivalents, and the €2,105 million decrease in other 
short-term financial receivables, mainly attributable to the 
repayment of the receivable due at the end of 2022 from 
Equatorial for the sale of the Brazilian electricity distribu-
tion company Celg Distribuição SA - Celg-D (Enel Goiás).

Sustainability-linked finance at Enel 

At Enel, sustainable finance is a key lever in creating eco-
nomic and financial value, enabling us to raise public and 
private capital and channel those resources into sustain-
able  investments,  thereby  sustaining  achievement  of  our 
development goals. The new sustainability-linked bond is-
sues, together with all the sustainable financing arranged 
in the last year, made it possible to reach a  64% ratio  of 
sustainable sources of financing to the Group’s total gross 
debt at the end of 2023, with a goal of reaching around 
70% in 2026. 

Sustainability-Linked Financing Framework
In  2020,  Enel  was  the  world’s  first  company  to  include  a 
mechanism in its funding agreements that links the cost 
of financing to achieving one or more of the sustainabili-
ty targets specified in the Sustainability-Linked Financing 
Framework,  a  document  that  extends  the  sustainabili-
ty-linked approach to all instruments of financial debt. The 
Sustainability-Linked  Financing  Framework  is  updated 

annually in line with the objectives defined in the Group’s 
Strategic Plan. 

The  latest  version  published  in  January  2024  updated  the 
Sustainability Performance Targets (SPT) of the five key per-
formance indicators (KPIs) included in the framework, which 
contribute to achievement of SDG 7 (“Clean and Accessible 
Energy”)  and  SDG  13  (“Climate  Action“)  and  the  European 
Environmental Objective of Climate Change Mitigation: 
1.  Intensity  of  Scope  1  GHG  emissions  related  to  power 

generation (gCO2eq/kWh); 

2.  Intensity of Scope 1 and Scope 3 GHG emissions relat-

ed to Integrated Power (gCO2eq/kWh); 

3.  Absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions related to retail gas 

(MtCO2eq); 

4.  Percentage of installed renewable capacity (%);
5.  Percentage of capital expenditure aligned with the EU 

taxonomy (%).

Developments in the KPIs shown in the table are period-
ically verified by an external auditor and are published by 
Enel in the Integrated Annual Report and the Sustainability 
Report.

Globally,  greenhouse  gas  (GHG)  emissions  continued  to 
increase in 2023, largely as a result of economic recovery 
and a further increase in fossil fuel consumption, with the 
energy crisis and the high prices of natural gas and lique-
fied natural gas sparking greater use of coal as a cheaper 
but more polluting fuel.

Nevertheless,  the  Group  managed  to  reduce  direct  and 
indirect greenhouse gas emissions along the entire value 
chain  by  26.3%  overall  compared  with  the  previous  year. 
Furthermore,  the  Group  also  reduced  the  intensity  of 
Scope  1  GHG  emissions  related  to  power  generation  by 

over  30.6%,  going  from  229  gCO2eq/kWh  in  2022  to  160 
gCO2eq/kWh in 2023. This reduction reflected a 12.9% in-
crease in consolidated renewables generation and a 37.5% 
reduction  in  consolidated  thermal  generation  compared 
with 2022, a consequence of the Group’s strategy to shift 
its generation mix towards renewables and to advance the 
decarbonization process.

However, the war in Ukraine and the resulting restrictions 
on  gas  imports  from  Russia  into  the  EU,  which  caused 
a  decrease  in  gas  supplies  accompanied  by  a  surge  in 
wholesale  electricity  and  gas  prices,  with  serious  effects 
for  households  and  businesses,  prompted  EU  govern-
ments to implement a series of policy responses to mit-
igate the impact of rising costs and ensure the stability of 
the energy system.

In particular, the Italian government responded with a na-
tional plan to contain natural gas consumption, including 
measures  to  maximize  thermal  generation  using  fuels 
other  than  gas.  This  was  implemented  with  Decree  Law 
14/2022, which required the national transmission system 
operator  (TSO)  to  develop  a  program  to  maximize  elec-
tricity  production  from  coal-fired  power  plants  until  the 
end of September 2023. Consequently, the TSO identified 
Enel’s coal plants as essential and required them to maxi-
mize such output.

In Spain, the government authorization for the closure of 
the As Pontes coal plant, requested by Enel’s Endesa sub-
sidiary in December 2019 for June 2021, was postponed to 
the end of 2023 as the plant was identified as essential by 
the transmission system operator.

Due  to  the  unprecedented  crisis  faced  by  the  European 
energy  system  in  2022  and  2023,  the  Group’s  emissions 
reduction in 2023 was not sufficient to achieve the Scope 
1 GHG emissions intensity target related to electricity gen-
eration set for 2023 as announced on the occasion of the 
Capital Markets Day held in November 2020 for the launch 
of the 2021-2023 Strategic Plan. As a result of the energy 
crisis, the intensity value was slightly higher than the target 
of 148 gCO2eq/kWh. In the absence of these factors, Enel 
would have been able to reach an emissions intensity level 
well below the target of 148 gCO2eq/kWh.

As  a  result,  the  Group’s  sustainability-linked  instruments 
that  set  the  Scope  1  emissions  intensity  target  for  elec-
tricity generation at 148 gCO2eq/kWh for 2023 will be sub-
ject  to  an  increase  in  the  relative  step-up,  and  Enel  will 
comply with its obligations in accordance with the terms 
and conditions of the legal documentation of these sus-
tainability-linked transactions. 

Despite these unprecedented circumstances, the Group’s 
emissions intensity in 2023 remained aligned with the 1.5 
ºC  pathway:  the  sector’s  decarbonization  approach  en-
visaged by the SBTi initiative had established a maximum 
threshold of 246 gCO2eq/kWh for 2023, well above Enel’s 
actual performance.

Ultimately, Enel’s commitment to decarbonization remains 
confirmed  for  both  the  short,  medium  and  long  term,  as 
envisaged in the new 2024-2026 Strategic Plan, which es-
tablishes a new short-term target for 2026 of 125 gCO2eq/
kWh. This new target, which is incorporated in the Sustain-
ability-Linked Financing Framework as updated in January 
2024  and  linked  to  the  first  issue  of  sustainability-linked 
bonds in 2024, confirms Enel’s commitment to the ener-
gy transition and contributes to the environmental and fi-
nancial sustainability of the Group’s development strategy. 
Furthermore, we are still committed to the 2030 target of 

an 80% reduction in the intensity of Scope 1 GHG emis-
sions related to power generation compared with the 2017 
baseline and the final 2040 target of a 100% reduction in 
these emissions without resort to any type of offsetting or 
carbon removal mechanisms.

In 2023, the Group, acting through its financial subsidiary 
Enel Finance International NV (EFI), issued a bond in Feb-
ruary  on  the  European  market  in  the  amount  of  €1,500 
million, combining, in the eight-year tranche, a KPI linked 
to  the  EU  taxonomy  with  a  KPI  linked  to  the  United  Na-
tions SDGs. The second tranche of the 20-year bond, on 
the other hand, was linked to two KPIs associated with the 
Group’s focus on complete decarbonization through the 
reduction  of  direct  and  indirect  greenhouse  gas  emis-
sions.
In  November  2023,  Enel  SpA  obtained  a  three-year  sus-
tainability-linked revolving credit facility worth €1,500 mil-
lion and linked to SDG 13.
In  March  2023,  Enel  Finance  International  renewed  its 
€8,000 million commercial paper program, linking it to the 
KPI “Intensity of Scope 1 GHG emissions related to pow-
er  generation  (gCO2eq/kWh)”  and  the  KPI  “Percentage  of 
capital expenditure aligned with the EU taxonomy (%)”. 

Enel’s role in the Recovery Plan
Enel acts as a strategic partner in the Recovery Plan with 
the aim of driving sustainable, rapid and effective growth 
through  the  implementation  of  projects  in  line  with  the 
missions  of  the  individual  Recovery  and  Resilience  Plans 
at  the  national  level.  In  this  regard,  in  2023,  the  decrees 
relating to the projects Smart Grids and Resilience in Italy 
were  signed,  for  a  total  of  €3,500  million.  In  addition  to 
Recovery, the Enel Group has submitted project proposals 
for other opportunities offered at European level, such as 
the  Innovation  Fund  where  the  grant  agreement  for  the 
Catania Gigafactory was signed, the Important Projects of 
Common European Interest (IPCEI) where projects for the 
development of green hydrogen were presented, and the 
Connecting  Europe  Facility (CEF) for  the  development of 
electric charging infrastructures.  

International development finance
The Group is leading an innovation process aimed at ac-
celerating the mobilization of capital to support sustain-
able growth through the use of sustainability-linked finan-
cial instruments. 
More specifically, in 2023, the Group obtained incentivized 
loans for a total of €1,800 million, which include sustain-
ability-linked  mechanisms  tied  to  SDG  13.  The  main  op-
erations  include sustainability-linked  financing  for a total 
of $800 million by Enel Finance America and EKF (Danish 
export credit agency), which is the EKF’s first sustainabili-
ty-linked financing agreement.

(1)  The figures for 2022 for the End-user Market Business Line have been adjusted to take account of the values for Enel X and Enel X Way. The latter had 

previously been reported under Holding, Services and Other.

(2)  The figure does not include €849 million regarding units classified as held for sale (€156 million in 2022).

Capital expenditure decreased by €1,633 million from the 
previous year. 
In line with the Paris Agreement in terms of reducing CO2 
emissions, the Group’s investments focused mainly on re-
newable energy and grids. 
In particular, with regard to renewable energy, the change 
mainly concerned the increases in Italy (€824 million) and 
Colombia  (€15  million),  which  were  more  than  offset  by 
lower capital expenditure in the United States (€1,197 mil-
lion), Chile (€236 million), Peru (€196 million), Canada (€181 
million), and Spain (€51 million).
Capital expenditure on grids, aimed at ensuring reliability 
and quality of service through efficient, resilient and digital 
networks, increased in Italy (€370 million), Spain (€25 mil-
lion), and Colombia (€18 million), while decreasing in Brazil 
(€335 million), Romania (€140 million), Peru (€111 million), 

Argentina (€60 million), and Chile (€26 million).
Capital expenditure in the End-user Markets Business Line 
fell by €67 million. More specifically, the decrease in Retail 
concerned  Italy  (€81  million),  Spain  (€18  million)  and  Ro-
mania,  essentially  in  the  digitization  of  operational  cus-
tomer management processes. 
Within the End-user Markets, but related to mobility, cap-
ital expenditure mainly decreased in Brazil, by €30 million, 
only partially offset by increased capital expenditure in Italy. 
Within  the  End-user  Markets  Business  Line  for  Enel  X, 
capital expenditure increased mainly in Italy, in the e-City 
and  Distributed  Energy  businesses,  and  in  Brazil  in  the 
e-City business. 
Capital  expenditure  in  Thermal  Generation  and  Trading 
decreased  by  €229  million,  particularly  in  Latin  America 
and Italy.

156 Integrated Annual Report 2023

PERFORMANCE BY  
PRIMARY SEGMENT 
(BUSINESS LINE) AND 
SECONDARY SEGMENT 
(GEOGRAPHICAL AREA)

The representation of performance by business line pre-
sented here is based on the approach used by manage-
ment in monitoring Group performance for the two peri-
ods under review, taking account of the operational model 
adopted as described above.
With  regard  to  disclosures  for  operating  segments,  as 
management  reports  on  performance  by  business  line, 
the Group has therefore adopted the following reporting 
sectors:
•  primary segment: Business Line; 
•  secondary segment: Geographical Area.
The business line is therefore the main discriminant in the 
analyses performed and decisions taken by the manage-
ment  of  the  Enel  Group,  and  is  fully  consistent  with  the 
internal reporting prepared for these purposes since the 
results are measured and evaluated first and foremost for 
each  business  line  and  only  thereafter  are  they  broken 
down by geographical area. 
In  this  regard,  note  that  the  organizational  simplification 
process begun in 2023 led to a restructuring of the busi-
ness  lines  and  geographical  areas,  with  a  consequent 
need  to  redefine  the  segments  subject  to  disclosure  in 

order to present the results of the segments based on the 
approach  used  by  management  to  monitor  and  present 
the Group’s performance to investors.

In particular, in the presentation of figures by primary seg-
ment (Business Line):
•  the figures for Enel X, which in the year ended Decem-
ber  31,  2022  had  been  presented  separately,  are  now 
reported under End-user Markets;

•  the figures for Enel X Way, which in the year ended De-
cember  31,  2022  had  been  presented  under  Holding, 
Services and Other, are now reported under End-user 
Markets.

In  the  presentation  of  figures  by  secondary  segment 
(Geographical Area), the figures for Latin America, Europe, 
North America, Africa, Asia and Oceania have merged into 
the “Rest of the World” area.
The organization continues to be based on matrix of busi-
ness  lines  (Thermal  Generation  and  Trading,  Enel  Green 
Power, Enel Grids, End-user Markets, Enel X, Holding and 
Services) and geographical areas (Italy, Iberia, Rest of the 
World, Central/Holding).

In  2023,  thermal  generation  decreased  by  34,972  million 
kWh  compared  with  2022,  in  a  context  of  greater  water 
availability and a reduction in electricity needs, particularly 
in Italy and Iberia. 
The  decrease  in  generation  by  fuel-oil  and  turbo-gas 
plants and by combined-cycle plants, of 6,631 million kWh 
and 17,731 million kWh respectively, is mainly attributable 
to  the  sale  of  the  entire  stake  held  in  the  share  capital 
of the Russian company PJSC Enel Russia (10,056 million 

kWh), as well as the sale of the Argentine companies Enel 
Generación  Costanera  (3,989  million  kWh)  and  Central 
Dock Sud (2,553 million kWh). 
The  decrease  in  generation  by  coal-fired  plants,  down 
8,967 million kWh, is mainly attributable to Italy, which had 
resorted to this technology in 2022 and until the 1st Quar-
ter  of  2023  for  application  of  the  preventive  measures 
put in place by the Italian government to reduce gas con-
sumption.

Net efficient generation capacity for thermal power plants 
at December 31, 2023 stood at 25,880 MW, a decrease of 
5,137 MW compared with 2022, mainly following the sale 
of the Enel Generación Costanera and Central Dock Sud 

plants in Argentina, the decommissioning of a coal plant in 
Iberia (As Pontes), and the decommissioning of two units 
of a coal plant in Italy (Fusina).

Revenue for 2023 amount to €40,190 million, a decrease 
of €36,145 million from 2022. This decrease is mainly at-
tributable to the decline in thermal generation, due in part 
to the increase in renewable generation, above all from hy-

droelectric sources, and to the decreasing average prices 
applied, above all, on wholesale sales compared with the 
previous year.

The decrease in the ordinary gross operating profit, in the 
amount of €2,500 million, is mainly attributable to the low-
er thermal generation, combined with the  lower average 
prices applied in 2023 compared with 2022, as well as the 
recognition of a charge in the amount of €515 million fol-
lowing the arbitration award for the revision of the price of 

a long-term gas-supply contract at Endesa.
The  reduction  also  reflects  the  change  in  the  consolida-
tion scope linked to the sales of CGT Fortaleza in Brazil in 
2022 and of Enel Generación Costanera and Central Dock 
Sud in Argentina in 2023.

Performance by primary segment (Business Line) and secondary segment (Geographical Area)

165

 
Gross operating profit came to €3,067 million, a decrease 
of €2,630 million from the €5,697 million posted in 2022.
In  addition  to  the  reduced  generation  at  lower  average 
prices and the recognition of the arbitration award of €515 
million in Spain, as mentioned above, the change from the 
previous year also reflects the change in the consolidation 
scope,  for  the  sales  mentioned  above  in  Argentina  and 
Brazil (a decrease of €158 million). 
Finally,  it  should  be  noted  that,  in  the  two  financial  years 
compared, non-recurring items essentially led to the rec-
ognition  of  greater  overall  charges  of  €172  million.  More 
specifically,  these  effects  refer  to  the  charges  related  to

the  2023  sales  of  the  thermal  generation  companies  in 
Argentina  (€349  million)  and  the  charges  for  the  energy 
transition  and  digitalization  (€178  million),  mainly  relating 
to the adjustment of the value of inventories of fuel and 
other materials used by coal-fired plants in Italy. 
In  2022,  the  main  non-recurring  items  included  the 
charges related to the sale of CGT Fortaleza in Brazil (€137 
million), the closure of the Bocamina II power plant in Chile 
(€56  million),  and  the  provision  recognized  for  Enel  Pro-
duzione  (€142  million)  for  the  costs  associated  with  the 
conversion of certain plants.

The decrease in the ordinary operating profit essentially 
reflects the factors described in relation to ordinary gross 
operating profit, taking account of the decrease in depre-
ciation, amortization and impairment losses of €59 million 
compared with the previous year. 

Operating profit for 2023 came to €2,180 million (€4,385 
million  in  2022),  a  decrease  of  €2,205  million  taking  into 

account the factors described above in relation to gross 
operating profit and the decrease in depreciation, amor-
tization  and  impairment  losses  compared  with  previous 
year.  More  specifically,  2022  included  impairment  losses 
in  Latin  America  and  Spain  totaling  €474  million,  while 
in  2023  they  concerned  certain  projects  in  Spain  in  the 
amount of €91 million.

Net electricity generation in 2023 increased from 2022 due 
to greater hydroelectric, wind and solar generation. 
Hydroelectric generation posted a sharp increase as a re-
sult of greater water availability in Italy (+3,686 million kWh), 
in  Chile  (+2,440  million  kWh),  in  Colombia  (+1,630  million 
kWh), in Argentina (+1,200 million kWh), and in Spain (+606 
million  kWh),  partly  offset  by  lower  generation  in  Panama 
(-153 million kWh) and Guatemala (-99 million kWh). 
Solar  generation  increased  mainly  in  Chile  (+1,386  million 

kWh),  the  United  States  (+1,047  million  kWh),  and  Spain 
(+882 million kWh). 
The most significant changes in wind generation were seen 
in  Brazil  (+1,052  million  kWh),  in  the  United  States  (+1,074 
million  kWh),  in  Spain  (+683  million  kWh),  and  in  Cana-
da  (+371  million  kWh),  partly  offset  by  lower  generation  in 
South Africa (-529 million kWh) due to the deconsolidation 
of  certain  companies,  in  India  (-208  million  kWh),  and  in 
Peru (-136 million kWh).

The increase of 1.98 GW in net efficient installed capacity 
was affected by the additional renewables capacity (+4.03 
GW),  mainly  in  Latin  America  (+2.3  GW),  North  America 

(+0.8 GW) and Spain (+0.6 GW), partially offset by the ef-
fects  of  plant  sales,  due  to  mergers  and  acquisitions  in 
Romania, Greece, Australia, Chile and India.

The increase in revenue is mainly attributable to the great-
er volumes of hydroelectric generation, above all in Italy and 
Colombia, in addition to the greater quantities of solar gen-
eration by plants that came into operation during the year, 
mainly in Latin America.
In 2023, the Group also recognized gains totaling €458 mil-
lion on the sale of certain plants in Chile (Arcadia project for 

Ordinary gross operating profit/(loss)

€195 million) and, in the context of transactions conducted 
under the Stewardship business model, the disposals of net 
assets in Australia (€103 million, of which €24 million in capital 
gain and €79 million for the remeasurement at fair value) and 
in Greece (solely for the remeasurement at fair value in the 
amount of €160 million).

The  gross operating profit  of  €5,178  million  (€3,477  mil-
lion  at  December  31,  2022)  increased  by  €1,701  million 
and includes the factors described in relation to ordinary 
gross  operating  profit,  with  the  exception  of  €262  mil-
lion  relating  to  the  capital  gain  on  the  sale  in  Greece  of 
assets  classified  as  discontinued  operations.  In  addition, 
2023 included recognition of gains on the sale of certain 
plants  in  Chile  (€195  million),  a  loss  on  the  sale  of  the  El 
Chocón generator sets in Argentina (€14 million), and the 
charges  related  to  the  disposal  of  certain  assets  in  the 
United States in the amount of €60 million. In 2022, gross 
operating margin included charges related to the disposal 
of assets in Chile (€51 million). 

The  increase  in  ordinary  gross  operating  profit  in  2023, 
which  also  includes  an  increase  in  gross  operating  prof-
it compared with 2022 (€259 million), the result of assets 
classified  as  discontinued  operations  in  Greece  and  Ro-
mania, is essentially attributable to the increase in renew-
able  energy,  particularly  hydroelectric  generation  in  Italy, 
as  well  as  the  normalization  of  margins  compared  with 
2022,  a  year  that  was  characterized  by  significant  price 
instability. 
We should also note the recognition of a total gain of €525 
million due to the partial sales with loss of control of the 
assets in Australia (€103 million) and the gain on the sale of 
discontinued operations relating to the assets in Greece 
(€422 million, including a capital gain of €262 million and 
the remeasurement at fair value of €160 million).
These  increases  were  partly  offset  in  Italy  by  the  greater 
impact of the clawback (€357 million).

Ordinary operating profit  for  2023,  up  by  €1,585  million 
from 2022, reflects the improvement in operating perfor-
mance, partly offset by the increase in depreciation, amor-
tization and impairment losses of €204 million, mainly re-
lating  to  the  entry  into  service  of  new  plants  during  the 
year.

Operating profit for 2023 came to €2,042 million, up €72 
million (€1,970 million in 2022). The improvement in oper-
ating performance was partially offset by the different lev-
els of impairment losses in the two years compared. More 
specifically, in 2023, operating profit includes impairment 
losses on certain US assets (€1,268 million) recognized to 
take  account  of  a  deterioration  in  the  outlook  of  certain 
reference  markets  that  gradually  emerged  throughout 

172

Integrated Annual Report 2023

2023, accompanied by a deterioration in the general mac-
roeconomic environment, as well as the launch and imple-
mentation by management of specific restructuring plans 

in the country. An impairment loss was also recognized for 
the Windpeshi project in Colombia (€171 million), as it was 
classified as held for sale.

(1)  The figure does not include €565 million regarding units classified as held for sale or discontinued operations.
(2)  The figure does not include €42 million regarding units classified as held for sale or discontinued operations.

Capital expenditure decreased by €1,041 million in 2023 
compared with the same figure for the previous year. Spe-
cifically, this change is attributable to:
•  decreased capital expenditure in the Rest of the World, 

and specifically: 
 – lower capital expenditure in solar and wind farms in 

the United States and Canada; 

 – a  €240  million  decrease  in  capital  expenditure  in 
Latin America, mainly in solar plants in Chile and Peru 

and in wind farms in Peru and Colombia, partly offset 
by greater capital expenditure in Brazil; 

 – decreased  capital  expenditure  in  Africa,  Asia  and 
Oceania, mainly related to the lower capital expendi-
ture in solar plants in India and wind and solar plants 
in Australia; 

•  lower capital expenditure in wind farms in Iberia; 
•  greater capital expenditure in Italy, mainly in battery en-

ergy storage systems.

In 2023, electricity transported on the grid decreased (by 
3.6%), mainly attributable to:
•  Europe (-19%) for the sale in October 2023 of all the in-

vestments held by the Enel Group in Romania;

•  Brazil and Chile for, respectively, the sale in December 
2022 of Celg Distribuição SA - Celg-D (Enel Goiás) and 
of Enel Transmisión Chile SA;

•  Italy (-2.9%), due to a decrease in demand for electricity.

The  decrease  in  revenue  is  mainly  attributable  to  Brazil 
and Chile due to the changes in the consolidation scope 
relating, respectively, to the sales of Celg Distribuição SA 
- Celg-D (Enel Goiás) and Enel Transmisión Chile SA which 
took place in December 2022, and above all to the recog-
nition in 2022 of the gain on the sale of Enel Transmisión 

Chile SA (€1,051 million). These negative effects were only 
partially offset by the increase in revenue due to rate ad-
justments, especially in Italy and Brazil, in addition to the 
increase in Spain in relation to the charges recognized in 
2022 for rate adjustments for the years 2017 to 2019.

Ordinary  gross  operating  profit,  which  takes  account  of 
the  increase  in  the  result  on  assets  classified  as  discon-
tinued operations (€362 million), decreased by €425 mil-
lion. This change is mainly attributable to the recognition 
in 2022 of the gain on the sale of 50% of the stake held by 
Enel Grids in Gridspertise (€520 million), to changes in the 
consolidation scope (a total of €250 million) mainly due to 
the sales of Enel Transmisión Chile and Celg Distribuição 
SA - Celg-D (Enel Goiás), to the increase in service quality 
indemnities (€118 million), and to the increased costs for 
plant maintenance following adverse weather events in It-
aly (€61 million). These effects were partially offset by the 
rate adjustments recognized in Brazil, Italy and Romania.

Gross operating profit came to €7,461 million, a decrease 
of €1,653 million from the €9,114 million posted in 2022. 
This  change  is  essentially  attributable  to  the  net  gains 
(€1,359 million) recognized in 2022 on the sales of Grid-
spertise, Enel Transmisión Chile and Celg Distribuição SA 
-  Celg-D  (Enel  Goiás),  as  well  as  to  the  negative  impacts 
of  the  related  changes  in  the  consolidation  scope  (€250 
million),  the  increased  costs  for  service  quality  indemni-
ties (€118 million), and the higher maintenance costs in re-
sponse to hazardous weather events in Italy (€61 million). 
These impacts were only partially offset by the rate adjust-
ments recorded in Brazil and Italy.

Operating  profit  amounted  to  €4,426  million  in  2023,  a 
decrease  of  €906  million  on  2022  (€5,332  million).  This 
change is attributable to the effects noted above in rela-
tion to gross operating profit, as well as to the increased 
depreciation and amortization in Italy, which were partially 
offset by the recognition in 2022 of the impairment on the 
assets of Celg Distribuição SA - Celg-D (Enel Goiás) in the 
amount of €827 million.

(2)  The figure does not include €110 million regarding units classified as held for sale or discontinued operations.

Capital expenditure in the two years being compared de-
creased by €267 million, mainly attributable to Latin Amer-
ica, and in particular to Brazil due to the sale of Celg Dis-
tribuição SA - Celg-D (Enel Goiás) in December 2022. This 

reduction was partially offset in Italy by the increase in the 
activation  of  new  customers  and  by  the  improvement  in 
service quality.

The  lower  volumes  of  electricity  sold  in  2023  are  mainly 
concentrated on the regulated market in Brazil (-9.7 TWh) 
due  to  the  sale  of  Celg  Distribuição  SA  -  Celg-D  (Enel 
Goiás)  at  the  end  of  2022  and  in  Italy  (-6.8  TWh)  for  the 
transition of customers to the free market, due in part to 
the pending elimination of the enhanced protection mar-

ket, set for June 2024 as per Resolution no. 600/2023. 
With regard to the performance of the free market, there 
was  a  decrease  in  volumes  mainly  in  Italy  (-3.1  TWh)  and 
in Spain (-0.6 TWh), partially offset by the increase seen in 
Brazil (+2.2 TWh) and Chile (+0.6 TWh).

mainly  in  Italy,  Spain,  Brazil  and  Chile,  while  storage  in-
creased above all in North America, essentially due to the 
installation of new batteries at renewable energy plants.

(1)  The figures for 2022 for the End-user Market Business Line have been adjusted to take account of the values for Enel X and Enel X Way. The latter had 

previously been reported under Holding, Services and Other.

Revenue for 2023 decreased by 19.0% from the previous 
year,  mainly  due  to  a  decline  in  revenue  from  electricity 
sales  (down  €8,786  million)  and  gas  sales  (down  €3,188 
million) as a result of both the lower quantities of electric-
ity and gas sold and the decreasing average sales prices, 
mainly  in  Italy  and  Spain.  The  decrease  in  other  revenue 

was  due  to  the  recognition,  in  2022,  of  the  gains  on  the 
sale of the 1.1% investment in Ufinet by Enel X International 
(€220 million) and on the sale of certain assets by Enel Srl 
to  Mooney  (€67  million).  Revenue  from  the  sale  of  elec-
tricity in Latin America increased, mainly in Colombia and 
Peru.

Performance by primary segment (Business Line) and secondary segment (Geographical Area)

183

Ordinary gross operating profit for 2023 increased main-
ly  following  the  increase  of  €3,508  million  in  Italy  and  of 
€363  million  in  Spain,  due  to  the  improved  performance 
on the free market due mainly to the reduction in procure-
ment costs in a context of normalizing sales prices. 
The increase in ordinary gross operating profit in Europe is 
entirely attributable to the performance of the Romanian 
assets classified as discontinued operations.
Performance also improved in the e-Home, e-City, and De-
mand Response businesses.
These positive effects were only partially offset by the de-
crease in profits in Latin America, in the amount of €136 
million, particularly in Colombia in the Retail segment and 
for  the  e-Bus  project,  as  well  as  for  the  aforementioned 

Ordinary operating profit/(loss)(1)

Millions of euro

gains recognized in 2022 on the sale of the investment in 
Ufinet  (€220  million)  and  of  certain  other  investments  to 
Mooney (€67 million).

Gross operating profit came to €5,158 million (€1,802 mil-
lion  in  2022).  The  increase  of  €3,356  million  reflects  the 
improved performance on the free market, mainly due to 
the  reduction  in  procurement  costs  in  a  context  of  nor-
malizing sales prices. 
These effects do not take into account the results of dis-
continued operations and the charges related to the ener-
gy transition and digitalization relating to the adjustment 
of the fund Acuerdo Voluntario de Salida (AVS) in Spain.

(1)  The figures for 2022 for the End-user Market Business Line have been adjusted to take account of the values for Enel X and Enel X Way. The latter had 

previously been reported under Holding, Services and Other.

The  change  in  the  ordinary  operating  profit  reflects  the 
factors noted above in relation to ordinary gross operating 
profit,  in  addition  to  the  greater  depreciation,  amortiza-
tion and impairment losses in the amount of €122 million, 
mainly  attributable  to  the  amortization  and  the  greater 
write-downs  of  trade  receivables  in  the  amount  of  €89 
million, mainly in Spain and Brazil. 

Operating profit for 2023, in the amount of €3,042 million 
(a  loss  of  €93  million  in  2022),  reflects  the  factors  noted 
above in relation to gross operating profit, as well as the 
greater depreciation, amortization and impairment losses 
of €221 million. This change also includes the impairment 
losses  recognized  in  the  United  States  in  2023  by  Enel 
X Way in the amount of €69 million and by Enel X in the 
amount of €57 million, due above all to the deterioration in 
the macroeconomic environment.

The increase in the ordinary gross operating loss in 2023 
is mainly attributable to the increased provisions for risks 
and charges set aside by Enel Insurance following requests 
related to adverse weather conditions.

The gross operating loss increased from 2022 as a result 
of the factors noted in relation to ordinary gross operating 
profit and the extraordinary solidarity levy and the charges 
for  the  energy  transition  and  digitalization  in  Spain,  of 
€208 million and €81 million respectively.

The ordinary operating loss for 2023 is essentially in line 
with the increase in the ordinary gross operating loss, tak-
ing  account  of  the  €20  million  increase  in  depreciation, 
amortization and impairment losses. 

The operating loss for 2023 reflects the factors described 
in  relation  to  the  gross  operating  loss,  as  well  as  higher 
depreciation, amortization and impairment in the amount 
of €20 million.

The  global  macroeconomic  environment  in  2023  was 
characterized by a broad decline in the real economy. The 
restrictive  monetary  policy  stances  adopted  by  central 
banks  to  counter  inflationary  pressures,  the  deteriora-
tion in financial and credit conditions, and the decline in 
trade  and  investment  at  the  global  level  caused  a  slow-
down in global growth, with GDP estimated to have grown 
by around 3% on an annual basis (slightly down compared 
with 2022).

In this context, the main European stock indices – after a 
2022 characterized by a general decline – closed 2023 on 
the rise: FTSE-MIB +28%, Ibex35 +22.8%, DAX +20.3% and 
CAC40 +16.5%.

The euro area utilities index (EURO STOXX Utilities) closed 
the year with a gain of +11.9%.

Finally, as regards the Enel stock, 2023 ended with a price 
of €6.73 per share, a sharp rise (+33.8%) on the previous 
year, outperforming both the Italian index and the Europe-
an sectoral index.

On January 25, 2023 Enel paid an interim dividend of €0.20 
per  share  from  2022  profits  and  on  July  26,  2023  it  paid 
the  balance  of  the  dividend  for  that  year  in  the  amount 
of €0.20. Total dividends distributed in 2023 amounted to 
€0.40 per share, more than 5% higher than the €0.38 per 
share distributed in 2022. 
On  January  24,  2024  an  interim  dividend  of  €0.215  per 
share was paid in respect of ordinary profit for 2023, while 
the balance of the dividend is scheduled for payment on 
July 24, 2024.

INNOVATION 

During 2023, the innovation area was given a new organi-
zational structure that, in line with Group strategy, oper-
ates with a view to simplification and focus on the Group’s 
priorities and promotion of an integrated, efficient and ef-
fective approach to innovation.
To address business challenges, we adopt an open inno-
vation model, which enables us to connect all areas of the 
Company with startups, industrial partners, large compa-
nies, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), research 
centers, universities and entrepreneurs – drawing in part on 
crowdsourcing platforms. The Group’s innovation strategy 
exploits various tools that enable it to develop innovative 
and sustainable solutions, such as the online crowdsourc-
ing  platform  openinnovability.com  and  a  global  network 
of Innovation Hubs and Labs, which forms the foundation 
of the collaboration model with startups and SMEs. While 
the latter offer innovative projects and new business mod-
els,  Enel  provides  its  expertise,  facilities  for  the  technical 
and  financial  validation  of  the  proposed  solutions  in  an 
industrial  environment,  and  a  global  network  of  partners 
to support their development and possible scale-up. The 
Innovation  Hubs,  located  in  the  most  relevant  innovation 
ecosystems for the Group, such as Europe and the United 
States, manage relationships with all the players involved 
in their respective areas and constitute the main source of 
scouting for startups and SMEs, responding to the innova-
tion needs manifested by the business lines.
Collaboration  with  external  players  is  thus  a  key  element 
of  the  Group’s  innovation  strategy.  In  fact,  the  Company 
has active partnership agreements which cover both the 
most  strategic  areas  for  the  Group  and  those  address-
ing  major  frontier  issues  (for  example,  the  promotion  of 
space applications in the energy sector, green hydrogen, 
and fourth generation nuclear). Through co-development 
with suppliers, the Group also seeks to implement innova-
tive solutions quickly and effectively at the pre-commer-
cial development level and leverages existing skills and the 
customization and transfer of solutions already adopted in 
other productive sectors.
In  2022,  we  voluntarily  adopted  the  ISO  56002  standard

phase in the business  
in 2023 

for  innovation  management.  The  standard  covers  all  as-
pects of innovation management, from the birth of an idea 
to its implementation on a global scale. During 2023, the 
UNI/PdR 155 practice “Management of sustainable inno-
vation  –  Guidelines  for  the  management  of  sustainable 
innovation processes in companies through open innova-
tion” was developed in collaboration with UNI. The practice 
was published on the UNI website in December 2023. The 
document, of a pre-regulatory nature, is intended to offer 
practical support for any organization that wants to pur-
sue the organizational and production changes necessary 
to implement an effective internal process of sustainable 
innovation management.

2023  saw  the  continuation  of  the  activities  of  the  inno-
vation communities, multidisciplinary working groups cre-
ated to innovatively address the most relevant new-tech-
nology issues for the business in order to create value for 
the Group (energy storage, blockchain, drones, metaverse, 
robotics, sensors, 3D printing, quantum computing, wear-
ables, additive manufacturing, artificial intelligence, mate-
rials  and  hydrogen).  The  communities  also  continuously 
monitor technological improvements and share new busi-
ness models, value-added services or use cases for types 
of  technology  that  could  be  potentially  implemented  in 
different areas of the Enel Group.

During  2023,  113  Proofs  of  Concepts  were  launched  to 
test  new  solutions,  while  46  innovative  solutions  were 
identified by the business for large-scale implementation. 
Overall,  €60  million  (including  personnel  expenses)  were 
invested in innovation.

Digitalization

In 2023, innovation activities in the field of cyber security 
benefited from the network of Innovation Hubs, as well as 
from their portfolio of startups and partnerships forged at 
the Group level.
These interconnections have enabled the sharing of best 
practices and operating models, as well as the construc-
tion and enhancement of info-sharing channels.
The main initiatives in this area are reported below:
•  analysis  of  solutions  based  on  quantum  key  distribu-
tion(41)  and  quantum  safe  encryption  algorithms(42)  to 
improve understanding of how to go beyond current en-
cryption models threatened by the future expansion of 
computational capacity offered by quantum computing;
•  services  and  solutions  to  support  software  develop-
ment  to  analyze  open  source  code  and  third-party 
software libraries from the point of view of vulnerabili-
ties and user licenses;

•  analysis of browser isolation solutions (isolation of the 
browser from the network to prevent it from becoming 
an entry point for malicious actors) and browser secu-
rity  to  understand  the  resilience  of  central  protection 
techniques compared with distributed approaches;
•  further development of solutions that exploit emerging 
technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine 
learning to enhance capabilities in detecting IT threats 
and automating the process of analysis, correlation and 
response to incidents; 

•  solutions  for  identifying  vulnerabilities  of  assets  and 
devices (IoT, web applications, etc.) with the help of in-
novative techniques;

•  review  of  industrial  environments  through  the  imple-
mentation of a vulnerability identification process with 
scripts without impacting the operating environments;
•  a study for the implementation of a multifactor authen-
tication  system  for  company  systems,  using  a  “pass-
wordless”  technique  to  replace  the  password  with  al-
ternative secure solutions (for example, fingerprint au-
thentication);

•  analysis  and  scouting  of  solutions  for  the  anonymiza-
tion  and  masking  of  data  in  non-production  environ-
ments and definition of the associated policy;

•  analysis  of  solutions  to  prevent  data  loss  to  ensure 
compliance  with  protection  requirements  imposed  by 
internal and external regulations;

•  study and analysis of solutions for the management of 

cryptographic keys and business secrets;

•  analysis  of  new  anti-malware  solutions  to  protect  in-

dustrial environments;

•  creation of the Cyber Harbor, an innovation center that 
brings together cyber security experts, companies, in-
vestors and the academic world to foster the creation 
of innovative and competitive projects in the IT security 
field for Italy;

•  establishment of a communication channel with Italy’s 
National Cybersecurity Authority (NCA) for the creation 
of  the  Hyper  SOC,  an  infrastructure  for  the  aggrega-
tion,  correlation  and  analysis  of  events  of  interest  to 
ensure the early identification of emerging threats and 
coordinate responses to deal with them effectively.

The circular economy

For the Group, the circular economy is a strategic lever to 
support our decarbonization roadmap. It involves a steady 
expansion of energy production from renewable sources 
and the consequent abandonment of fossil fuels, offering 
a  path  towards  a  fair  and  inclusive  transition.  Achieving 
these  objectives  requires  a  profound  transformation  of 
the  energy  system  and,  at  the  same  time,  entails  a  dif-
ferent  and  growing  need  for  raw  materials  and  new  ap-
proaches to managing assets, such as the distribution grid 
and generation plants.

The circular economy model adopted by the Group seeks 
to redesign the entire value chain of the goods used, not 
only to reduce consumption of raw materials but also to 

limit the associated environmental, social, economic and 
geopolitical impacts and risks: in other words, to make the 
business  model  more  sustainable  and  competitive.  The 
Group’s  vision  encompasses  all  the  different  life  phases 
of  a  product  and  is  based  on  five  pillars:  circular  inputs 
(inputs  from  renewables,  recycling,  reuse),  extension  of 
useful life (through modular design, facilitated repairabil-
ity and maintenance predictive), product as a service (the 
Company  provides  the  customer  with  a  service  and  re-
tains ownership of the product, maximizing its use factor 
and useful life), shared platforms (shared use of an asset 
among multiple users), new life cycles (recovery of the val-
ue of goods and materials, for example through reuse and 
recycling).

factor and useful life.

CIRCUL A R   U S E

194 Integrated Annual Report 2023

 
 
The Group’s initiatives focus mainly on three of the five pil-
lars, namely circular inputs, useful life extension and new 
life cycles.
With  regard  to  circular  inputs,  during  the  tender  phase 
suppliers of core components(43) are asked to specify the 
quantities  of  each  material  used  in  the  production  pro-
cesses,  indicating  the  share  of  recycled  and  recyclable 
material  to  support  assessments  in  the  selection  phase. 
One example of the reduction in the use of input resourc-
es is the 3SUN Gigafactory project in Catania, which is in-
tended to ensure greater independence for the photovol-
taic supply chain, not only by bringing the production of 
cells and panels onto European soil, but also by using in-
novation to reduce the intensity of silicon use and building 
a  diversified  and  sustainable  supply  chain.  In  2023  3SUN 
worked  on  the  development  of  the  new  production  site 
and, from 2024, a new type of high-efficiency panel with 
HJT technology will optimize the quantity of silicon used, 
using layers of the material with a 15% smaller thickness.

With  regard  to  extending  useful  life,  in  addition  to  using 
predictive repair and maintenance in the global manage-
ment  of  power  distribution  and  generation  assets,  the 
Group is also working on innovative solutions. For example, 
the Pioneer project in Italy involves Enel collaborating with 
ADR - Aeroporti di Roma on the development of a storage 
system that reuses end-of-life batteries from electric ve-
hicles. During 2023, the detailed design of the plant was 
completed: with a storage capacity of 10 MWh, it involves 
the reuse of 786 second-life batteries.

With regard to the new life cycle pillar, initiatives are also 
under way in all the countries in which the Group operates 
to ensure the systematic reuse, both internally and through 
sale, of obsolete or unused generation equipment that still 
retains a useful residual life, or the recycling of materials 
recovered from maintenance activities on the distribution 
grid. Specifically, the Equipment New Life Program, which 
is active around the world for all generation technologies, 
seeks to give new life to components held in power plant 
inventories, to the equipment of decommissioned power 
plants and to plants undergoing repowering. In 2023, the 
project generated approximately €23 million in econom-
ic value, of which approximately €13.8 million in the form 
of costs avoided through the internal reuse of spare parts 
and equipment in all plants and €9.2 million from sales.

In  order  to  identify  areas  requiring  attention  and  related 
priorities  concerning materials,  and  to  consequently up-
date  the  portfolio  of  projects  and  initiatives,  an  internal 
working  group  has  been  operating  since  2020  with  the 
participation  of  all  the  relevant  areas  of  the  Group.  The 
working group’s activities begin with a systematic analysis 
of  raw  material  requirements  for  generation  and  distri-
bution assets, solutions for customers and digital assets. 
Environmental, social, economic and geopolitical impacts 
and risks are then assessed, mainly with respect to the ex-
traction and production phases of raw materials. Interven-
tion priorities are then identified and a mitigation plan is 
developed, leveraging circular economy projects that re-
duce the consumption of raw materials, particularly critical 
materials.

(43) The core categories are those strategic for the business, including wind turbines, inverters, smart meters, photovoltaics, switches, panels, cables, trans-

formers, charging stations, street lighting, smart home solutions and storage systems.

Training and development

The rapid, ongoing evolution of our business and the sup-
port of our strategy in a rapidly changing global environ-
ment have resulted in a need for new technical and pro-
fessional skills. For this reason, ongoing employee training 
and  strategies  of  upskilling  (training  and  empowerment 
programs to improve performance within a given role) and 
reskilling  (learning  new  skills  and  capabilities  that  enable 
people to fill new positions) are of increasing importance. 
In 2023, in support of these strategies, we provided a total 
of about 3.1 million hours of training, an average of about 
48  hours  per  employee,  exceeding  the  target  of  an  av-

erage of 45.5 hours per employee. Of these, 44.8% were 
dedicated  to  up/reskilling,  an  increase  on  the  previous 
year (42% in 2022). Total training costs came to about €27 
million in 2023.

This was made possible by the upgrading of digital tools 
and  the  E-Ducation  platform,  which  gives  broad  access, 
including  remotely,  to  training  content  concerning  con-
duct, technical issues, safety and reskilling, working in co-
operation with academic partners.

In 2023, with regard to the development and assessment 
of  Enel’s  people,  we  continued  with  the  Open  Feedback 
Evaluation (OFE) program, a mechanism for the constant, 
360°  collection  of  feedback  from  all  employees,  thereby 
creating an ongoing dialogue within the organization. The 
process  is  conducted  on  a  half-yearly  cycle  and  assess-
es “Generosity”, meaning a propensity for interacting with 
others; and “Action”, i.e. the ability to achieve professional 
objectives, as assessed by superiors.  

With  a  view  to  fostering  and  developing  the  individual, 
2023 say an increase in the use of tools such as job shad-
owing, mentoring and coaching.

During 2023, the annual process of managing Succession 
Plans  for  management  positions  saw  an  increase  in  the 
percentage  of  female  successors  (47.2%).  Together  with 
other confirmed selection criteria for the identification of 
successors, gender criteria take account of the commit-
ments made by the Enel Group regarding diversity and in-
clusion, further enhancing these aspects.
Succession  planning  has  also  been  extended  to  key 
non-management positions, involving new position hold-
ers (heads of organizational positions). This expansion en-
abled the identification of new successors, both ready and 
in  the  pipeline  (with  consideration  of  gender  issues),  for 
whom an ad hoc development and training program has 
been developed.

Listening and enhancing wellness

In  2023,  listening  activities  were  carried  out  through  the 
first  Global  Inclusive  Survey  exploring  people’s  general 
perception of inclusion in the working environment at all 
organizational  levels.  48%  of  eligible  people  responded 
(over  61,000).  The  findings  of  the  survey  underscore  the 
good  level  of  perceived  general  inclusion  of  people:  the 
average respondent assessment of this aspect was equal 
to 4.5 out of 6, and 87% of people had either a positive or 
very positive evaluation.
Since 2021, Enel has developed a global Well-being mod-
el  using  a  co-creation  approach  based  on  eight  pillars: 
emotional,  physical,  social,  ethical,  financial  and  cultural 
well-being, a sense of protection and work-life harmony. 
Following  the  analysis  of  the  results  of  the  Well-being  & 
Motivation survey, which was launched in 2022 in order to 
gain  an  understanding  of  the  evolution  of  organizational 
well-being and to refine initiatives designed to improve it, 
meetings were held to share the findings, using webinars 
coordinated  by  management  in  the  various  countries.  At 
the  global  level,  projects  were  developed  in  2023  to  en-
hance  the  well-being  of  people,  teams  and  managers  in 
the organization. The general well-being index measured 
by the survey in 2022 was 60% globally. This represents the 

percentage of respondents who are quite or very satisfied 
with their general well-being (personal and working life).
Last year was the first year of full operation of the Glob-
al Well-being Program, which is intended to increase the 
awareness of all people on their level of well-being by en-
gaging  them  through  self-assessment  tests,  webinars, 
newsletters  and  other  dedicated  activities.  The  program 
is  associated  with  an  incentive  mechanism  that  rewards 
the virtuous behavior of those who participate in the pro-
gram every six months. During 2023, over 26,000 employ-
ees (43% of Enel’s people) actively participated, while over 
4,000  rewards  were  distributed  globally  to  people  who 
used all the content of the program.
The pilot project “Well-being leaders, Happy teams” test-
ed a new intervention method to support teams with lower 
perceived  well-being,  using  the  Well-being  Index  as  the 
selection  criterion.  In  addition,  by  listening  to  the  man-
agers of teams with a very high perceived well-being, the 
project  identified  distinctive  characteristics  and  virtuous 
behaviors to be disseminated within the Company in order 
to reinforce well-being-oriented leadership.
To  facilitate  the  diffusion  of  a  culture  of  well-being  and 
improvement,  the  first

Group countries.

Services  and  initiatives  that  help  care  for  your  personal 
and  family  mental  and  physical  well-being  are  also  avail-

able  at  the  local  level.  Free  or  subsidized  psychological 
support services are available for more than 98% of Enel’s 
people, while physical well-being services are available for 
over 90%. The CReW – Enel Cycle, Run & Walk Challenge 
project  is  also  active  globally:  it  promotes  the  physical 
well-being associated with sustainable mobility, involving 
over 3,500 Enel participants in 2023.

The levers of inclusion at Enel 

At Enel,  attention to uniqueness and care  for people  are 
key  elements  for  generating  well-being  and  motivation 
and  are  levers  for  creativity,  innovation  and  the  achieve-
ment  of  valuable  results  for  our  people  and  the  entire 
organization.  The  approach  to  diversity  and  inclusion  is 
based on the principles of non-discrimination, equal op-
portunities,  personal  dignity,  inclusion  regardless  of  any 
form of diversity, and work-life balance. This approach is 
embodied in a comprehensive set of actions that promote 
an attention to and expression of individuality, a culture of 
inclusiveness without prejudice, and a coherent mix of tal-
ents,  qualities  and  experience,  all  of  which  creates  value 
for our people and for our business, which is transitioning 
towards a decarbonized economy, acknowledged globally 
as a flywheel for guiding various forms of diversity towards 
the world of work. 

The approach has been ratified in our Charter for the Indi-
vidual, a protocol of intent that Enel signed on March 29, 
2022, underscoring the importance of personal well-being 
and integrity in an environment in which well-being, pro-
ductivity,  continuous  learning  and  security  can  reinforce 
each other, contributing to the greatest fulfillment of the 
person and the achievement of results.
The principles expressed in the Charter for the Individual 
with regard to the participation, well-being, inclusion and 
security of each worker inspired the renewal in 2023 of the 
Global Framework Agreement (GFA) – originally signed in 
2013 – with the Italian industry federations and the global 
federations IndustriALL and Public Services International.
Industrial  relations  are  addressed  at  Group  level  in  ac-
cordance  with  the  model  envisaged  in  the  GFA,  which  is 
recognized as a reference best practice for European and 
non-European multinationals. The agreement is based on 
international principles for human rights and business and 
is  inspired  by  the  best  and  most  advanced  transnational 
industrial  relations  systems  used  in  multinational  groups 
and key institutions at the international level.
The milestones that have brought us to today began back 
in 2013 with publication of our Human Rights Policy (updat-

ed in 2021). This was followed in 2015 by Enel’s adoption of 
the seven Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs) pro-
moted by the UN Global Compact and UN Women and the 
parallel  publication  of  the  Diversity  and  Inclusion  Policy, 
which defines the principles of non-discrimination, equal 
opportunities, dignity, work-life balance, and inclusiveness 
regardless of any form of diversity. In 2019, our Workplace 
Harassment  Policy(44)  introduced  the  issues  of  individu-
al respect, integrity and dignity in the workplace into the 
prevention  of  all  types  of  harassment.  These  principles 
were shared in 2020 in the Statement Against Harassment 
in the workplace.(45) We also created a Digital Accessibility 
section on the Enel intranet. It is designed to ensure equal 
opportunities in access to digital systems and information.

In  recent  years,  intensive  awareness-raising  efforts  have 
enabled the dissemination and strengthening of a culture 
of inclusion at all levels and in all settings within the organi-
zation by way of communication campaigns and local and 
global events. The most important initiatives undertaken in 
2023  include  the  expansion  of  local  Employee  Resourc-
es  Groups,  important  networks  and/or  communities  that 
fuel conversations within the Group on a variety of issues 
concerning inclusion and diversity and offer an opportu-
nity to sharing views on female empowerment, parenting, 
caregiving,  disability,  intergenerational  and  intercultur-
al  relations  and  the  LGBTQ+  community.  The  delivery  of 
Beyond  Bias  training  courses  continued  throughout  the 
Group, enabling the identification of the main prejudices 
that  may  be  encountered  in  the  workplace.  Adopting  an 
ironic and surreal tone, the course suggests how to pre-
vent these biases by offering interesting food for thought. 
The  Workplace  Harassment  training  course  describes 
forms  of  harassment  and  discrimination  related  to  age, 
disability, LGBTQ+ status and sexual orientation. To spread 
the principles of inclusive design, the training activity “Ac-
cessibility and Design for all Awareness” was also offered 
globally.  It  represents  a  design  approach  whose  funda-
mental objective is the conception and creation of spaces, 
products  and  services  that  are  themselves  accessible  to 

(44) The Workplace Harassment Policy is an internal corporate publication.

all. The course aims to raise awareness and train people in 
an  increasingly  inclusive  culture,  spreading  awareness  of 
the application Design for All principles.
Promoting a culture of inclusiveness at Enel also involves 
target setting and measurement. It is an approach that is 
encapsulated  in  a  comprehensive  plan  of  actions  mea-
sured  using  a  broad  set  of  KPIs  for  which  commitments 
approved by the corporate bodies have been made. These 
commitments include: balancing the percentage of wom-
en  in  hiring  processes;  increasing  the  representation  of 
women in senior and middle management and in succes-
sion plans; increasing the number of female students in-
volved in awareness initiatives in Science, Technology, En-
gineering and Math (STEM) fields; promoting projects for 
the inclusion of employees with disabilities at all stages of 
the employee journey; and fostering the dissemination of 
a bias-free culture sensitive to intercultural diversity. 

More  specifically,  our  strategy  for  gender  equality  is  or-
ganized into various lines of action. We are working to in-
crease the presence of women in hiring processes, with a 
positive trend being registered in 2023 as well (52%), con-
firming the Group’s commitment to achieving this goal. In 
terms of women in management positions, we have seen 
both  the  number  and  the  percentage  of  female  manag-
ers continue to climb, increasing by 1.3 percentage points 
in 2023 (from 24.9% in 2022 to 26.2% in 2023). The per-
centage of women middle managers also increased (from 
32.6% in 2022 to 33.1% in 2023). Actions to value the con-
tribution of women throughout the organization, and not 
just  in  senior  positions,  have  also  continued,  and  the  ef-
fects of these efforts will be better seen over the medium 
to long term, due in part to generational dynamics. Among 
the actions taken globally, the performance target for “the 
percentage  of  women  in  top  management  succession 
plans at the end of 2025” has been confirmed in the 2023 
Long-Term Incentive Plan with a weighting of 10% of the 
total in order to strengthen and lend greater continuity to 
a policy to establish a suitable platform for management 
appointments into the coming years. 

Over  the  years,  we  have  also  increased  our  commitment 
to promote the presence of women in STEM training and 
careers in collaboration with schools and government, so 
as to overcome gender stereotypes and promote the im-
portance of STEM and its integration with the humanities. 

These STEM awareness and orientation initiatives involved 
more  than  7,800  female  secondary-school  students  in 
2023 and more than 37,000 female students over the last 
seven years.(46) 

On the issue of disabilities, Enel provides equipment, ser-
vices, working methods and other initiatives to create an 
inclusive  climate  for  work  and  relationships  for  all  that 
provides full autonomy at work regardless of the disability. 
Worldwide, we have more than 2,000 employees with dis-
abilities. The issue is particularly relevant in Italy (with more 
than 1,500 employees with disabilities, more than 73% of 
the Group total).

Since Enel’s participation in the global Valuable 500 initia-
tive in 2019, initiatives involving disability issues have been 
grouped  within  the  Value  for  Disability  project,  aimed  at 
seizing potential business and promoting inclusion among 
employees  and  customers  with  disabilities  by  designing 
specific  global  and  local  plans  of  action.  The  project  has 
engendered  widespread  commitment  to  the  issue  and 
given rise to initiatives in all countries, with an impact on 
the  inclusion  of  people  with  disabilities  in  relation  to  the 
different  aspects  of  their  experience  in  the  organization 
and on cultural change.
Each country with at least one employee with a disability 
has  a  focal  point  for  hearing  and  responding  to  specific 
needs and designing dedicated actions, as provided for in 
the Diversity and Inclusion Policy. 

Many  countries  have  also  organized  initiatives  focused 
on  intercultural  and  intergenerational  issues  and  on  the 
LGBTQ+ community.
Finally,  to  promote  parenthood  and  caring  for  all  people 
who find themselves in circumstances that have an impact 
on  work,  the  Parental  Program  supporting  the  parenting 
experience  has  continued,  as  has  the  expansion  of  the 
MaCro@Work Caring Program for employees with chronic 
disorders and vulnerabilities in the various countries.

The table below shows Enel’s commitment to diversity and 
inclusion, including the percentage of employees with dis-
abilities, the number of women in senior and middle man-
agement, and the ratio of the average salaries of women 
to those of men. 

(46)  Beginning in 2022, the figure only includes initiatives targeting primary and secondary schools.

At  Enel,  people’s  health,  safety  and  mental  and  physical 
integrity  are  considered  the  most  precious  assets,  to  be 
protected at every moment of life, at work, at home and in 
their free time. For this reason, we are committed to devel-
oping  processes  and  creating  increasingly  healthier  and 
safer workspaces, both for employees and for anyone who 
works with Enel, promoting dedicated training courses in 
this arena.

values  expressed  and  assumed  in  the  Health  and  Safety 
Policy,  a  Stop  Work  Policy  has  also  been  issued.  It  seeks 
to  make  Enel  employees  and  contractor  companies  re-
sponsible  for  managing  potential  risk  situations  regard-
ing health, safety and the environment. In fact, all workers 
can stop any activity deemed risky for health, safety and 
environmental  protection,  following  a  “no  blaming”  ap-
proach.(47)

To make this commitment clear and evident to all Group 
employees as well as external stakeholders, Enel has de-
veloped  and  disseminated  a  Health  and  Safety  Policy, 
which sets out the guiding principles, strategic objectives, 
approach  and  action  guidelines  for  the  continuous  im-
provement of health and safety performance. The areas in 
which Enel is committed to achieving its targets are also 
specified: first and foremost, we find people, understood 
both as internal employees and contractors working with 
the Group, followed by processes and innovative technol-
ogies supporting accident prevention. Consistent with the 

Enel also promotes, implements and continuously updates 
its Health and Safety Management Systems, in compliance 
with the internal policies referred to earlier as well as with 
the international ISO 45001 standard. Enel SpA’s Manage-
ment System provides guidance and a uniform approach 
for all Group companies: the business lines and the coun-
tries  then  have  the  task  of  implementing  that  system  at 
the local level, based on the specific features of their regu-
latory and business environment, and verifying its correct 
implementation in the field.

(1)  Total Recordable Injuries (TRI): this includes all incidents that have caused injuries, including lost time injuries, incidents requiring the administration of first 

aid, or incidents that did not result in lost time. 

(2)  Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRI FR): as for all the frequency rates for the various types of incidents, this is calculated as the ratio of number of 

events to total hours worked (in millions).

(3)  Life Changing Accidents (LCAs): injuries whose health consequences caused permanent changes in the life of the individual (e.g., amputation of a limb, 
paralysis, extensive and visible scarring, etc.). Beginning with the 2021 reporting cycle, the metric Life Changing Accidents replaced High Consequence 
Injuries following efforts to standardize safety reporting within the organization. Therefore, the figures for 2020 and 2019 have been recalculated in line with 
this new approach.

(4)  Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate with days lost (ACC>3 FR) is calculated considering accidents in which the worker lost at least three days of work.
(5)  Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTI FR) is calculated considering all injuries that have resulted in at least one day of absence from work.
(6)  High Potential Accidents Frequency Rate (HiPo FR): all injuries the characteristics of which have a high potential for causing a life changing or fatal event.

Compared  with  2022,  the  number  of  accident  events  with 
injuries, including first aid (TRI), decreased by 24.5% (726 in 
2023 compared with 962 in 2022), mainly due to the reduc-
tion in accident events that did not involve days of absence 
from  work.  The  reduction  is  mainly  attributable  to  the  em-
ployees  of  contractors  (-32%),  while  there  was  a  slight  in-
crease  in  events  involving  Enel  personnel  (+15%).  The  Total 
Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRI FR) followed the same 
trend, with a decrease of 16.4% (1.88 in 2023 compared with 
2.25 in 2022), representing approximately 2 accident events 

per  million  hours  worked.  With  regards  to  hours  worked, 
there was a significant reduction during 2023 compared with 
the previous year (approximately -10%), mainly linked to the 
sale of a number of operations, such as Enel Goiás in Brazil 
at the end of 2022. The Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate with 
days lost (LTI FR) showed an increase of 22% compared with 
the previous year (0.61 in 2023 compared with 0.50 in 2022) 
among both Enel personnel and contractors.
This  increase  is  mainly  due  to  an  increase  in  minor  injuries 
associated  with  only  minimal  impacts  on  worker  safety.  In

fact, the sum of the most serious injuries, i.e. those with 
the greatest actual or potential impact such as fatal in-
juries,  life  changing  injuries  (those  which  produce  per-
manent  changes  in  the  life  of  the  injured  person)  and 
high-potential  incidents  (which  differ  from  the  former 
only  in  the  extent  of  the  consequences  for  the  worker 
but not in the dynamics of the event), was unchanged on 
2022 (39 events) and 25% lower than the average for the 
three previous years. However, the distribution of injuries 
among the different categories did change, as fatalities 
increased (11 in 2023 compared with 6 in 2022), while life 
changing injuries (1 in 2023 and 2 in 2022) and high-po-
tential incidents (27 in 2023 and 31 in 2022) declined.
Of  the  11  fatal  injuries  in  2023,  9  were  associated  with 
electrical risk and 2 with mechanical risk. Three fatal in-
juries involved Enel personnel (2 employees of Enel Grids 
in  Romania  and  1  employee  of  Enel  Grids  in  Argentina) 
and 8 contractor personnel (3 in Brazil, 2 in Italy and 1 in 
Spain who worked for Enel Grids, 1 in Brazil who worked 
for Enel Green Power Brazil and 1 in Brazil who worked for 
Enel Servizi).

As  regards  activities  in  2023,  Policy  no.  106,  which  pro-
vides  guidelines  for  the  entire  Group  concerning  the 
communication, analysis and classification of accidents, 
was  updated  in  order  to  strengthen  the  near  miss  and 
safety observation reporting process,(48) increase the at-
tention  paid  to  HiPo  events  and  more  effectively  trace 
the  root  causes  of  each  event  to  ensure  greater  effec-
tiveness in action plans and improved health and safety 
performance.
The inspection process for verifying conduct and com-
pliance with procedures and working methods in the field 
has also been revised in order to enhance effectiveness. 
In  particular,  a  data-driven  approach  has  been  imple-
mented,  based  on  IT  tools  and  analytical  dashboards.  It 
can use evidence from the monitoring and control sys-
tem to enable evaluation of the performance of organi-
zational  units  and  suppliers,  the  identification  of  areas 
at greatest risk of fatal and life changing accidents and 
subsequent management methods.
In 2023, there were 101 cases of Extra Checking on Site 
(ECoS) involving high-risk areas. This process consists in 
internal environment and safety assessments designed to 
verify the adequacy of the organization and processes in 
a specific area of Group operations, identify any adverse 
issues and develop corrective actions. These checks are 
conducted  by  specialist  HSEQ  personnel  from  outside 

the  units  being  assessed,  assisted  by  technicians  spe-
cialized in the specific business. 

Another area of great attention for the entire Enel Group is 
the protection of health, a fundamental value for the care 
and development of our people, not only at work but also 
in daily life. For this reason, the Enel Group has adopted a 
structured health management system based on preven-
tion and protection measures and is committed to devel-
oping a corporate culture oriented towards the promotion 
of mental and physical health and organizational well-be-
ing and personal work-life balance: to this end Policy no. 
179  “Health  and  Well-being”  was  updated  at  the  end  of 
July 2023.

The  objective  of  safeguarding  workplace  safety  and  the 
mental and physical integrity of all the people of the Enel 
Group is the main driver of training, awareness and infor-
mation  activities.  To  foster  the  growth  of  technical  skills 
and  a  safety  culture,  support  change  processes  and  re-
spond in a timely manner to the needs that emerge from 
the  business,  the  Group  has  a  structured  training  man-
agement process, designed to transform knowledge into 
skills and then into behaviors. Overall, in 2023, 1,452 hours 
of training were provided to Enel staff on workplace health 
and safety issues.

The  Enel  Group’s  approach  to  contractors  is  to  consid-
er  each  to  be  a  partner  with  which  we  share  our  essen-
tial workplace safety and environmental protection rules. 
As such, safety is integrated into the tender process, and 
supplier performance is assessed both as part of the qual-
ification process and when executing the contract by way 
of  numerous  controls  and  other  mechanisms,  including: 
the Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) Terms, the Sup-
plier  Performance  Management  (SPM)  process,  the  Con-
tractor  Assessment  (CA)  process  and  Evaluation  Groups 
(EGs).(49) In particular, the supplier qualification system pro-
vides for a specific evaluation of H&S issues based on the 
level of H&S risk of the activities associated with the dif-
ferent product groups. As regards workplace and environ-
mental safety checks of contractors, in 2023 we continued 
to perform CAs at their premises, their construction sites 
or remotely if an on-site visit was not possible. Specifical-
ly, 1,215 CAs were performed across all business lines and 
countries in which Enel is present.
Enel  also  recognizes  technological  innovation  as  a  valid 
tool  for  improving  health  and  safety  processes.  The  cri-

teria  with  which  the  development  priorities  of  innovative 
projects  are  defined  are  based  on  a  “risk  management” 
logic,  seeking  primarily  to  eliminate  or  reduce  the  prob-
ability of an event occurring depending on feasibility. An 
example is the Remote Trimming project, developed within 

Enel Grids, which consists in the use of a robot for prun-
ing vegetation near electricity grids, allowing operators to 
interact  with  the  device  remotely,  remaining  outside  the 
most dangerous areas and effectively eliminating the risks.

Responsible relations with communities

Listening to the communities in the territories in which Enel 
operates and promoting inclusive economic and social de-
velopment to ensure an energy transition that is as fair as 
possible  represent  a  fundamental  pillar  of  Enel’s  strategy 
both in the daily management of business operations and 
in  the  planning  of  new  infrastructures.  Establishing  solid 
and long-lasting relationships with local communities is es-
sential to guaranteeing the implementation of a sustainable 
business, while boosting its competitiveness and inclusive-
ness.

Aware that the Group’s activities can have a direct and indi-
rect influence on the communities in which it operates, Enel 
has adopted a sustainable business approach along the en-
tire value chain, integrating social as well as environmental 
sustainability criteria into the various processes from very 
earliest  stages  of  development.  This  model  is  consistent 
with  the  main  international  standards  in  this  area  (such 
as  the  United  Nations  Guiding  Principles  on  Business  and 
Human  Rights  and  the  OECD  Guidelines  for  Multinational 
Enterprises), which underpin Enel’s commitment to human 
rights in business practices.

The  Group’s  sustainable  business  approach  is  based  on 
careful analysis of the contexts in which we operate. Thanks 
to  proactive  dialogue  and  community  engagement  initia-
tives, potential risks, impacts and opportunities are identi-
fied in order to implement prevention and mitigation inter-
ventions. This approach also includes the principle of “Sus-
tainability by design” to take account of the needs of local 
communities  from  the  early  stages  of  asset  design.  The 
approach  also  envisages  emergency  management  plans 

Sustainable supply chain

with sustainability actions to be implemented in response 
to  sudden  and  unexpected  events  and  serious  damage, 
such as critical events impacting Group assets, projects or 
products as a result of natural disasters or social/commu-
nity unrest.
This approach has prompted Enel to innovate both the way 
it manages the business and develops energy products and 
services. It also leverages the awareness that the activation 
of virtuous ecosystems, such as partnerships, represents an 
indispensable factor in facilitating and promoting the iden-
tification and implementation of innovative social solutions 
as part of the transition towards a decarbonized economy.

In 2023, Enel’s contribution to the development and social 
and  economic  growth  of  the  territories  and  communities 
with whom it operates translated into sustainability projects 
in the various countries in which it operates, involving over 
3.9 million beneficiaries, in line with the United Nations Sus-
tainable Development Goals (SDGs), of which over 70% re-
gard projects and initiatives associated with the three SDGs 
to which the Group has made a commitment (SDG 4, SDG 
7, SDG 8).
In line with the SDGs, Enel makes an effective contribution 
to the progress of local territories, creating value for both 
communities  and  our  business  through  professional  edu-
cation and training projects and providing access to reliable 
and  sustainable  energy,  both  through  rural  and  suburban 
electrification initiatives and by promoting social inclusion 
for the most vulnerable categories of the population (from 
a physical, social and economic point of view).

Suppliers are the Group’s partners along the path of sus-
tainable growth, working to maximize the economic, pro-
ductive, social and environmental benefits of the transition. 
Enel is committed every day to creating sustainable, inno-
vative and circular processes that also make it possible to 
better quantify, and therefore mitigate, the total impacts 
that  suppliers  generate,  aware  of  the  need  to  minimize 
pressures  on  critical  materials  and  components  through 
technological innovation and continuous recycling and to 
support the resilience and retraining of its partners.
Purchasing processes are founded on mutual loyalty, trans-
parency and collaboration in accordance with the highest 
standards  of  sustainability.  For  this  reason,  the  selection 
of partners and the execution of contracts undergo anal-
ysis  and  monitoring  throughout  the  entire  procurement 
process. This is pursued on the basis of clear guidelines, 
namely  codes  of  conduct,  including  the  Human  Rights 
Policy,  the  Code  of  Ethics,  the  “Zero-Tolerance-of-Cor-
ruption” Plan and global compliance programs.

Specifically:
•  Enel’s  global  vendor  qualification  system  conducts  an 
analysis  of  compliance  with  technical,  financial,  legal, 
environmental,  human  (including  health  and  safety), 
ethical  rights  and  integrity  requirements  of  the  firms 
that intend to participate in tenders. At December 31, 
2023, qualified suppliers totaled 19,692 (of which 100% 
assessed  on  the  basis  of  ESG  criteria)  and  of  these 
8,300 had an active contract during the reporting pe-
riod;

•  the tendering and bargaining process adopts a struc-
tured process for defining “sustainability requirements 
and  rewarding  factors  (K)”  which  can  be  used  by  the 
various  purchasing  and  monitoring  units  throughout 
the  period  of  execution  of  the  contract.  The  process 
involves the use of two “libraries”, which catalog all the 
sustainability requirements and Ks grouped into social, 
environmental and circularity certification macro-cate-
gories. At December 31, 2023, 66% of supply contracts 
provided for the submission of carbon footprint certifi-
cations from the contracted vendors.
Furthermore,  specific  contractual  clauses  have  been 
defined,  which  are  included  in  all  works,  service  and 
supply  contracts  and  updated  periodically  to  ensure 
alignment with international best practices. The Gener-
al Terms of Contract establish that Enel’s suppliers, in-

cluding subcontractors, sub-suppliers, third parties and 
in general the entire supply chain shall comply with cur-
rent  regulations  on  pay,  contributions,  insurance  and 
taxation for all workers employed in any capacity in the 
execution of the contract. In addition, explicit reference 
is made to the principles referred to in the relevant ILO 
Conventions  and  provisions  of  law  concerning  child 
labor,  female  labor,  equality  of  treatment,  prohibition 
of  discrimination,  abuse  and  harassment;  trade  union 
freedom,  association  and  representation;  refusal  of 
forced labor; safety and environmental protection and 
sanitation conditions. In the event of conflict between 
regulatory sources, the more restrictive shall prevail. 
The clauses(50) also provide that suppliers, subcontrac-
tors, sub-suppliers, third parties and in general the en-
tire supply chain shall undertake to prevent any and all 
forms of corruption.
The number of FTEs(51) working at Enel worksites at De-
cember 31, 2023 totaled 150,820;

•  analysis and monitoring are conducted throughout the 
entire  procurement  process,  making  use  of  specific 
systems such as, during performance of the contract, 
the  Supplier  Performance  Management  (SPM),  whose 
objective  within  our  collaboration  with  vendors  is  not 
only to undertake any corrective actions in the contract 
execution  phase,  but  also  to  encourage  a  process  of 
improvement  using  actions  that  reward  the  adoption 
of  best  practices.  The  process  is  based  on  an  objec-
tive and systematic collection of data and information 
relating to the execution of the service covered by the 
contract.  These  data  are  used  to  produce  specific  in-
dicators, also called categories (e.g., Health, Safety and 
Environment, Human Rights & Correctness, and Quality 
and Punctuality).

Meetings  with  suppliers  continued  in  2023  with  a  focus 
on  decarbonization  issues,  circularity  and  human  rights, 
with  a  view  to  jointly  developing  practices  and  common 
approaches and spur vendors to achieve the sustainability 
standards demanded by the international community. 

More specifically, meetings were organized with the main 
suppliers in strategic product categories to provide them 
with  technical  information  on  the  new  tender  require-
ments  regarding  human  rights  and  other  contractual 
clauses. For more information on the activities carried out, 
please see the Group’s 2023 Sustainability Report.

(51)  FTE = Full Time Equivalent. This corresponds to the number of workers necessary to perform a certain number of hours worked, assuming they are working 

full time. One FTE therefore corresponds to one person/day.

WORLD ECONOMIC 
FORUM (WEF)

The International Business Council (IBC) of the World Eco-
nomic  Forum  has  produced  a  report  entitled  “Measuring 
Stakeholder  Capitalism:  Towards  Common  Metrics  and 
Consistent Reporting of Sustainable Value Creation”, with 
the aim of defining shared common metrics to measure, 
report and compare levels of sustainability, i.e. the effec-
tiveness  of  its  actions  in  pursuing  the  Sustainable  De-

velopment Goals set by the United Nations (SDGs), in the 
business model adopted to create value for stakeholders.
The metrics are based on existing standards and seek to 
increase convergence and comparability between the var-
ious parameters used today in sustainability reports.

EUROPEAN UNION 
TAXONOMY

Enel  welcomes  the  development  of  the  EU  Taxonomy 
Regulation  2020/852,  as  it  provides  a  standardized,  sci-
ence-based classification system to identify environmen-
tally sustainable economic activities. 
The EU Taxonomy Regulation acts as an important enabler 
to  promote  sustainable  investments  and  accelerate  the 
decarbonization  of  the  European  economy,  while  at  the 
same time creating reliability and transparency for inves-
tors and supporting companies in planning the Net Zero 
transition. 

Please note that EU taxonomy reporting is included in full 
in the “2023 Sustainability Report - Consolidated Non-Fi-
nancial  Statement”  prepared  as  required  by  Article  8  of 
the European Taxonomy Regulation 2020/852, complying 

with  the  criteria  established  in  the  other  delegated  acts 
issued by the European Commission and available on the 
date of publication of the Sustainability Report.
More specifically, the EU taxonomy reporting has been im-
plemented based on the following regulations:
•  Delegated  Regulation  (EU)  2021/2139  of  June  4,  2021 

(Climate Delegated Act);

•  Delegated  Regulation  (EU)  2021/2178  of  July  6,  2021 

(Disclosures Delegated Act);

•  Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/1214 of March 9, 2022 

(Complementary Climate Delegated Act);

•  Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2485 of June 27, 2023 

amending the Climate Delegated Act;

•  Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2486 of June 27, 2023 

(Environmental Delegated Act).

In  a  process  overseen  by  the  CEO  and  top  management, 
involving  the  relevant  functions  at  corporate  and  country 
level, as well as all business lines, a five-step process is in 
place to analyze the applicability of the EU Taxonomy Regu-
lation throughout the entire value chain and in all countries 
where we operate.
For more on the phases of the implementation process for 
the European taxonomy, please see the “2023 Sustainability 
Report – Consolidated Non-Financial Statement”.

Through this process, Enel has classified all economic activ-
ities along its value chain for their contribution to the climate 
change mitigation objective, which is the most relevant for 
the Group, according to the following three categories: eli-
gible aligned, eligible non-aligned, and non-eligible.

ELIGIBLE ALIGNED

Eligible aligned: refers to an economic activity that simultaneously satisfies the following
three conditions:
•  it is explicitly included in the EU Taxonomy Regulation for its substantial contribution to climate 

change mitigation; and

•  it meets the specific criteria developed by the EU Taxonomy Regulation for that specific environ-

mental objective; and

•  it meets all DNSH criteria and minimum social safeguards.

ELIGIBLE NON- 
ALIGNED

Eligible non-aligned: refers to an economic activity that:
•  is explicitly included in the EU Taxonomy Regulation for its substantial contribution to climate 

change mitigation or adaptation; but

•  does not meet the specific criteria developed by the EU Taxonomy Regulation for those specific 

environmental objectives; or

•  does not meet all the DNSH criteria and/or the minimum social safeguards.

NON-ELIGIBLE

Non-eligible: refers to an economic activity that has not been identified by the EU Taxonomy Reg-
ulation  as  a  substantial  contributor  to  climate  change  mitigation  and  for  which  no  criteria  have 
therefore been developed. The logic of the European Commission is that these activities might:
•  not have a significant impact on climate change mitigation or could be integrated into the EU 

Taxonomy Regulation at a later stage;

•  cause a very significant impact on climate change mitigation, so they cannot be eligible in any 

case.

It  is  important  to  note  that  activities  classified  as  eligible 
aligned from a climate change mitigation perspective also 
include  adaptation  solutions  (mainly  in  the  design  and 
construction phase of assets) and are therefore also eligi-
ble aligned for this other objective.

However,  the  existence  of  the  category  “non-eligible” 
makes  it  impossible  to  achieve  a  business  model  that  is 
fully aligned with the criteria of the EU Taxonomy Regula-
tion, even though these might not cause any harm to the 
EU’s environmental objectives.

Includes both fuel-oil and gas (OCGT) as it is not possible to divide the two types of fuel. Fuel-oil was considered to be the prevalent fossil fuel and is 
therefore non-eligible under the EU taxonomy regulation.

In 2023 the Enel Group updated the eligibility analysis of 
Enel’s  productive  economic  activities  by  incorporating 
the published delegated acts, implementing the process 
described  above  based  on  the  three  categories:  eligible 
aligned, eligible non-aligned, non-eligible. 

For more information on the results of the eligibility anal-
ysis  and  the  classification  of  economic  activities  in  the 
above three categories, please see the “2023 Sustainabili-
ty Report – Consolidated Non-Financial Statement”.

Process for calculating the financial metrics 

The Enel Group calculates the financial metrics associated 
with each economic activity (classified into the categories 
eligible aligned, eligible non-aligned, non-eligible) using a 
specific process adopting the following criteria and con-
siderations:
•  the three financial metrics required by the EU Taxonomy 
Regulation (turnover, capital expenditure – capex – and 
operating expenditure – opex) were calculated accord-
ing to the eligibility analysis described in this “European 
Union taxonomy” section;

•  although  not  expressly  required,  Enel  also  performed 
an assessment in terms of the ordinary gross operating 
profit (EBITDA) believing that this metric represents the 
actual financial performance of integrated utilities such 
as Enel;

•  the financial information was gathered from the digital 
accounting system used by the Enel Group, or from the 
management  systems  in  use  by  the  Company’s  busi-
ness lines. However, a number of derogations were ad-
opted to provide a more detailed representation of the 
figures or to exclude specific activities from the overall 
calculation  of  eligible  alignment  (such  as  non-aligned 
hydroelectric power generation or infrastructure con-
sidered  eligible  but  non-aligned  among  eligible  and 
aligned distribution network systems). For example, the 
following derogations were used: 
 – hydroelectric:  eligible  non-aligned  hydroelectric 
power  plants  were  excluded  by  considering  their 
output  multiplied  by  the  average  turnover  per  unit 
in the years 2022 and 2023. This approach was also 
extended to capex, opex and EBITDA;

 – infrastructure and networks: concerning capex, new 
connections  between  a  substation  or  grid  and  a 
power plant with a greenhouse gas intensity above 
the  threshold  of  100  gCO2eq/kWh  were  excluded 
considering their capacity (in MW) multiplied by the 
average capex per unit (k€/MW) for the years 2022 
and 2023. This approach was also extended to turn-
over based on the on the assets’ lifespan;

•  aggregate financial data in the report refer to the “sec-
tor” level and include items related to third parties and 
inter sectorial exchanges;

•  financial  metrics  were  represented  by  considering  all 

electricity and gas sales as “non-eligible”; 

•  revenue classified as eligible aligned also include inter-
company revenue related to the sale of renewable elec-
tricity produced by the Group’s generation companies 
and sold to the Group’s retail companies for marketing 
to end customers, according to the Group’s integrated 
position; 

•  capex: this also includes increases in assets from leases 
(recognized  pursuant  to  IFRS  16,  paragraph  53,  point 
(h)), as requested by the Commission Delegated Regu-
lation (EU) 2021/2178;

•  absolute  turnover/capex/opex/ordinary  EBITDA  cor-
respond  to  the  turnover/capex/opex/ordinary  EBIT-
DA  (measured  in  euros)  of  each  specific  activity.  The 
share of individual KPIs corresponds to each individual 
economic  activity  in  the  total  turnover/capex/ordinary 
EBITDA of the Group (except for ordinary opex, as the 
total of which refers only to the type of costs required 
by the taxonomy); 

•  no  ordinary  capex  and  opex  figures  that  may  corre-
spond to adaptation solutions – in accordance with Ar-
ticle 11 (1)(a) of EU Taxonomy Regulation – in business 
activities  that  already  contribute  to  climate  mitigation 
have  been  allocated  to  climate  adaptation  objective, 
thus  avoiding  any  potential  double  counting  with  the 
figures  provided  on  climate  mitigation  objective.  Fur-
thermore,  no  revenue  was  considered  eligible  for  cli-
mate  adaptation  objective  as  Enel  does  not  provide 
adaptation solutions in accordance with Article 11 (1)(b) 
of EU Taxonomy Regulation;

•  for those minor activities that are eligible for either the 
protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosys-
tem or the circular economy objective a rounded figure 
of “0” has been reported due to its insignificant weight 
out of overall financial figures.

Overall results 

The high level of alignment of our economic activities with 
the EU Taxonomy Regulation in 2023, made possible main-
ly by their substantial contribution to the climate change 
mitigation  objective  while  respecting  the  principle  of  Do 

No  Significant  Harm  (DNSH)  to  other  environmental  ob-
jective  and  observing  the  minimum  social  safeguards,  is 
shown below.

ORDINARY GROSS OPERATING PROFIT (EBITDA)  
UNDER THE EUROPEAN TAXONOMY

In 2023, 59.7% of ordinary EBITDA relates to the business 
activities aligned to the EU taxonomy, compared to 56.7% 
in 2022. 
The  ordinary  EBITDA  percentage  of  eligible  taxono-
my-aligned business activities increases in 2023 compared 
to 2022 mainly due to an increase in the ordinary EBITDA 
of renewable energy production and distribution activities 
in absolute terms. At the same time, there is a decrease in 
the  ordinary  EBITDA  of  the  eligible  non-aligned  activities 
mainly due to the thermoelectric power generation busi-
ness from combined cycles, which produced lower energy 
volumes in 2023 compared to 2022.

In 2023, 33.8% of revenue are related to business activities 
aligned to the EU taxonomy, compared to 21.4% in 2022.
Revenue decreased in absolute terms by €44.8 billion com-
pared to 2022. The change is mainly attributable to the low-
er volumes of electricity produced, the lower quantities of 
energy sold in the wholesale and retail markets, as well as 
the decrease in average selling prices of commodities, thus 
impacting non-eligible and non-aligned activities.
At the same time, revenue related to the production of en-
ergy from renewable sources increased in 2023, resulting in 
an increase in absolute terms of revenue in aligned activi-
ties from €30.6 billion in 2022 to €33.1 billion in 2023. 
These phenomena contributed to the increase in the per-
centage weight of revenue from EU taxonomy-aligned ac-
tivities by 12% year-on-year.

214 Integrated Annual Report 2023

In 2023, 84.8% of capital expenditure (capex) is related to 
business activities aligned to the EU taxonomy, compared 
to  81.9%  in  2022.  This  increase  is  mainly  due  to  high-
er  investments  in  energy  storage  systems  through  BESS 
(Battery  Energy  Storage  Systems)  and  a  reduction  in  in-
vestments  in  non-eligible  or  non-aligned  thermoelectric 
technologies.
The actual 2023 capex for eligible aligned assets is 4.0% 
higher than the capex planned for 2023 in the 2023-2025 
Strategic Plan for the same assets. This change is main-
ly due to higher investments in absolute terms in eligible 
aligned renewable and distribution activities than planned 
(approximately €1.9 billion).

In  2023,  68.4%  of  ordinary  operating  expenses  (opex) 
relate  to  business  activities  aligned  to  the  EU  taxonomy, 
compared to 66.9% in 2022.
The  percentage  of  ordinary  opex  of  eligible  taxono-
my-aligned  business  activities  increases  in  2023  com-
pared  to  2022  mainly  due  to  higher  maintenance  costs 
incurred in photovoltaic renewable energy production and 
taxonomy-aligned distribution activities.

(1)  No Capex fi gures that may correspond to adaptation solutions – in accordance with Art icle 11 (1) (b) of EU taxonomy regulation – in business activities that 

already contribute to climate mitigation have been allocated to climate adaptation objective, thus avoiding any potential double counting with the fi gures 

provided on climate mitigation objective.

(2)  The analysis of the alignment of this activity was not perf ormed for the purpose of the 2023 Sustainability Report  and will be disclosed next year in coher-

ence with the timeline established in the Environmental Delegated Act.

(3)  Electricity generation from fuel-oil and OCGT: it refers to thermal power plants that use fuel-oil and/or gas (OCGT), for which a breakdown by technology 

is not available.

(1)  No Capex fi gures that may correspond to adaptation solutions – in accordance with Art icle 11 (1) (b) of EU taxonomy regulation – in business activities that 
already contribute to climate mitigation have been allocated to climate adaptation objective, thus avoiding any potential double counting with the fi gures 
provided on climate mitigation objective.

(2)  The analysis of the alignment of this activity was not perf ormed for the purpose of the 2023 Sustainability Report  and will be disclosed next year in coher-

ence with the timeline established in the Environmental Delegated Act.

(3)  Electricity generation from fuel-oil and OCGT: it refers to thermal power plants that use fuel-oil and/or gas (OCGT), for which a breakdown by technology 

is not available.

REGULATORY AND  
RATE ISSUES

The European regulatory framework

Developments in the “Fit for 55”  
and REPowerEU packages

The European Commission’s “Fit for 55” package, present-
ed  in  July  2021,  proposed  raising  the  EU’s  2030  targets 
in  support  of  a  more  ambitious  climate  goal  of  reducing 
greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030 and achieving 
climate neutrality by 2050. In 2023 the European institu-
tions  continued  discussions  over  the  various  dossiers  in 
the “Fit for 55” package” and its adaptation to the chang-
es introduced by REPowerEU. 

Renewable energy and energy efficiency 

In October 2023 the revision of the Renewable Energy Di-
rective was published in the Official Journal of the Europe-
an Union. Member States have 18 months to transpose it 
into national law. The Directive raises the share of renew-
able  energy  in  the  European  Union’s  overall  energy  con-
sumption to 42.5% by 2030, with an additional 2.5% indic-
ative top-up to allow the target of 45% to be achieved. All 
Member States will have to contribute to achieving more 
ambitious  sector-specific  targets  in  transport,  indus-
try and buildings. Moreover, the Directive provides for an 
acceleration  in  permit  procedures  for  renewable  energy 
projects. Member States shall design renewables acceler-
ation areas where renewable energy projects will undergo 
simplified and fast permit-granting processes. Renewable 
energy deployment will also be presumed to be of “over-
riding public interest”, which will limit the grounds of legal 
objections to new installations. 
EU institutions have also reached an agreement to raise to 
11.7% the EU energy efficiency target by 2030, from the ini-
tial 9% of the “Fit for 55” package, including an increase in 
the Member State’s annual energy saving obligation, which 
should  gradually  increase  from  2024  to  2030.  Moreover, 
in  2023  European  institutions  reached  an  agreement  on 
the  European  Energy  Performance  of  Buildings  Directive 
(EPBD). The new provisions include significant innovations 
in reducing the use of fossil fuels in buildings, developing 
charging infrastructure for electric mobility, increasing the 

rate of renovation and efficiency of the building stock, as 
well as integrating solar systems into buildings.

Mobility 

In October 2023, the new Alternative Fuels Infrastructure 
Regulation  (AFIR)  was  published  in  the  Official  Journal  of 
the European Union, establishing – for the first time in the 
EU – mandatory targets for the development of charging 
infrastructure for light and heavy vehicles and for the in-
frastructure  to  supply  electricity  to  vessels  moored  in 
ports  in  the  different  Member  States.  Again  in  2023,  the 
ReFuelEU  Aviation  and  FuelEU  Maritime  Regulations,  tar-
geted at reducing greenhouse gas emissions for aviation 
and  maritime  transport,  setting  increasingly  stringent 
emission limits for ships and planes, and envisaging mea-
sures to promote renewable fuels, including hydrogen and 
renewable or low-carbon electricity, were published in the 
Official Journal of the European Union. At the end of 2023, 
the European Parliament and Council reached an agree-
ment on a proposal for the revision of the Trans-Europe-
an Transport Network (TEN-T) Regulation, which seeks to 
close regional, economic and social gaps through the de-
velopment  of  interconnected  air  transport,  roadway,  rail-
way  and  maritime  network  infrastructures,  directly  con-
nected  with  the  Connecting  Europe  Facility  (CEF),  which 
defines projects of common interest (PCIs) eligible for CEF 
funding. 

The revision of CO2 standards for new cars and light com-
mercial vehicles, published in the Official Journal of the Eu-
ropean  Union  in  the  1st  Half  of  2023,  increase  emission 
reduction targets for 2030 and requires that all new light 
vehicles sold from 2035 be zero-emission vehicles. In this 
respect, a further revision is expected, which should allow 
internal  combustion  vehicles  powered  only  by  synthetic 
fuels to be placed on the market even after 2035.

Hydrogen and decarbonized gas market 
package and definition of renewable 
hydrogen

As required by the Renewables Directive of 2018, in the 1st 
Half of 2023 two delegated acts aimed at defining the cri-
teria by which hydrogen produced from electricity can be 
considered renewable were published in the Official Jour-
nal of the European Union and are directly applicable in all 
EU countries, ensuring clarity on the rules for the produc-
tion of renewable hydrogen. The main criteria concern the 
principles of additionality for renewable plants that power 
the electrolyzers and the spatial and temporal correlation 
between electrolyzers and renewable plants, as well as the 

method to use to calculate the reduction of greenhouse 
gas emissions deriving from its use. 
In December 2023 the EU institutions reached a provision-
al political agreement on the package for the decarbon-
ization  of  the  gas  market,  the  proposal  for  which  dates 
back to December 2021. The new regulation and directive 
included  in  the  package  establish  a  framework  facilitat-
ing  the  penetration  of  renewable  and  low-carbon  gases 
into the system, including hydrogen, and rules governing 
the market and organization of the sector, including infra-
structure aspects. The provisional agreement needs to be 
endorsed and formally adopted by the Parliament and the 
Council in 2024 before publication in the Official Journal of 
the European Union.

Digital technology

During  the  2nd  Half  of  2023  the  European  Commission 
finalized  several  new  proposals  for  the  digital  sector  im-
pacting the energy industry. 
In  December  2023,  EU  legislators  provisionally  approved 
the  Artificial  Intelligence  Act,  the  first-ever  legal  frame-
work on AI worldwide, aimed at ensuring that EU law, fun-
damental rights and sustainability principles are protected 
from high-risk AI systems; however, the package has yet to 
be formally adopted. Complementing the AI Act, a political 
agreement  was  reached  on  the  revised  Product  Liability 
Directive, ensuring that people can sue for compensation 
for damage caused by a defective product, including dig-
ital products. 
With  regard  to  data  policies,  in  June  2023  the  Commis-
sion  adopted  the  Implementing  Regulation  laying  down 
interoperability  requirements  and  non-discriminatory 

Batteries

and  transparent  procedures  for  access  to  metering  and 
consumption data for end users and eligible parties. Fur-
thermore, in December 2023, the European regulation es-
tablishing harmonized rules on fair access to data and its 
use was published in the Official Journal of the European 
Union, giving Member States until September 12, 2025 to 
implement the regulation.
Finally, with regard to cyber security, in October 2023 the 
Commission  published  a  draft  implementing  regulation 
establishing the European Common Criteria-based cyber 
security  certification  scheme  for  information  and  com-
munication technologies. That draft is linked to the Cyber 
Resilience  Act,  the  proposal  for  a  European  regulation 
on  cyber  security  requirements  for  products  with  digital 
elements,  such  as  smart  meters,  on  which  EU  legislators 
reached a political agreement in December 2023. 

Published in the Official Journal of the European Union in 
July  2023,  the  new  European  regulation  on  batteries,  the 
proposal  for  which  dates  back  to  2020,  pursues  three 
objectives:  to  strengthen  the  functioning  of  the  internal 

market,  ensuring  a  level  playing  field  through  a  common 
set of rules; to promote a circular economy; and to reduce 
environmental and social impacts at all stages of the bat-
tery life cycle. 

240 Integrated Annual Report 2023

State aid

New State aid regulations

As from June 30, 2023, the revised General Block Exemp-
tion  Regulation  (GBER)  came  into  force,  which  will  facili-
tate,  simplify  and  accelerate  support  for  the  EU’s  green 
and digital transition, while preserving a level playing field 
in the single market. The GBER defines specific categories 
of State aid that, under certain conditions, are compatible 
with the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union 
(TFEU) and exempts these categories from the obligation 
of  prior  notification  to  the  Commission  and  its  approval. 
Major changes were made to the sections relating to cli-
mate, environmental protection and energy, including  an 
update  of  the  notification  thresholds,  in  response  to  the 
energy  crisis.  The  revised  GBER  expands  the  scope  for 
Member  States  to  finance  different  types  of  green  proj-
ects, such as those to reduce CO2 emissions, sustainable 
mobility  and  charging  infrastructure;  the  introduction  of 
new  green  conditions  that  large  energy-intensive  busi-
nesses  must  meet  to  receive  aid  in  the  form  of  reduced 
tax rates or exemptions from payment of system charges; 
energy efficiency and storage, including batteries; sustain-
able hydrogen and renewable energy communities. Finally, 
the  definition  of  energy  infrastructure  has  been  extend-
ed to hydrogen and CO2 as long as it is accessible to third 
parties. The scope has also been extended geographically 
to the entire territory and no longer just to areas receiving 
assistance. 

The  State  aid  COVID  Temporary  Framework  (TF  COVID) 
concerning  solvency  and  investments  for  economic  de-
velopment  for  sustainable  growth  expired  on  December 
31,  2023.  That  date  marked  the  end  of  the  phasing  out 
period which started during 2022. We have worked with-
in  the  Temporary  Framework  to  disburse  aid  for  national 
measures  intended  to  boost  employment  even  in  disad-
vantaged areas. 
The Temporary Crisis Framework (TCF) was most recent-
ly revised on March 9, 2023. The new framework was re-
named Temporary Crisis and Transition Framework (TCTF) 
in order to underline the nature of the revision, aimed at 
fostering  support  measures  in  sectors  which  are  key  for 
the  transition  to  a  zero-emission  economy,  in  line  with 
the Green Deal Industrial Plan. The TCTF will also allow the 
disbursement of aid until December 31, 2025. In addition 
to direct aid to meet the additional costs associated with 
the rise in the price of gas and electricity, the system also 

provides  for  schemes  for  accelerating  the  rollout  of  re-
newable energy and energy storage. More specifically, the 
investment support can cover up to 100% of total costs if it 
is granted through a tender procedure. This also includes 
aid  for  decarbonization  through  electrification  and  the 
use of renewable and electrolytic hydrogen. The main new 
aspect regards investment support for the mass manufac-
ture of batteries, solar panels, wind turbines, heat-pumps, 
electrolyzers  and  carbon  capture  usage  and  storage  as 
well  as  for  production  of  key  components.  Their  amount 
varies according to the region in which the investment is 
to be made, ranging from 15% of costs and a maximum of 
€150 million per company in the richest regions, to 35% of 
costs and a maximum of €350 million per company in dis-
advantaged regions. The most relevant aspect of this type 
of aid is the so-called “matching aid”: an EU Member State 
could – under certain conditions – match the support of-
fered to a company in a non-EU state.

On  November  20,  the  Commission  prolonged  by  six 
months,  until  June  30,  2024,  a  limited  number  of  sec-
tions of the TCTF. In particular, it put off the phasing out 
of the provisions enabling Member States to grant limited 
amounts  of  aid  (section  2.1)  with  an  increase  in  aid  ceil-
ings  to  compensate  for  high  energy  prices  (section  2.4) 
to  cover  the  winter  heating  period.  The  other  provisions 
of the TCTF, among which liquidity support in the form of 
State  guarantees  or  in  the  form  of  subsidized  loans  and 
measures aimed at supporting the reduction of electricity 
consumption, were not affected and expired on Decem-
ber  31,  2023.  Sections  aimed  at  accelerating  the  green 
transition  and  reducing  dependence  on  fuels  remain  in 
force until December 31, 2025. 

Moreover,  the  European  Commission  extended  until  De-
cember 31, 2025 the possibility of granting State aid for 
rescuing  and  restructuring  non-financial  undertakings  in 
difficulty according to the related guidelines of 2014. The 
rest  of  the  guidelines  remain  applicable  without  further 
changes and their extension is necessary to avoid a legal 
vacuum after December 31, 2023.
On  June  2,  2023,  the  European  Commission  published 
a  communication  in  the  Official  Journal  of  the  Europe-
an  Union  which  establishes  the  rules  for  any  changes  to 
regional  aid  maps.  EU  countries  can  propose  updates  to 
their maps for the 2022-2027 period.

Cases of State aid

In  2023,  we  continued  to  monitor  the  funds  authorized  by 
the European Commission for the countries of importance 
to the Group in relation to TF COVID, TCF and TCTF. 

On February 7, 2023, the Commission approved a €1.36 bil-
lion Greek scheme to partially compensate energy-intensive 
companies for higher electricity prices resulting from the in-
direct costs of emissions under the ETS.
On February 17, 2023, the Commission approved a €460 mil-
lion  Spanish  measure  supporting  the  ArcelorMittal  España 
project  aimed  at  a  partial  decarbonization  of  its  steel  pro-
duction in Gijón, where it operates two blast furnaces pro-
ducing liquid hot metal from a mixture of iron ore, coke and 
limestone. The aid will support the construction of a plant for 
the  production  of  direct  reduced  iron  based  on  renewable 
hydrogen.
On  March  6,  2023,  the  Commission  approved  the  amend-
ments to an existing Italian guarantee scheme, including an 
up to €3 billion budget increase for the reinsurance of nat-
ural gas and electricity trade credit risk in the context of the 
Ukraine crisis. The original scheme, approved on September 
30, 2022, seeks to limit the risks that insurers currently face 
in  offering  customers  trade  credit  insurance.  Managed  by 
SACE, the Italian export credit agency, the scheme ensures 
that  trade  credit  insurance  will  continue  to  be  available  to 
businesses, enabling them to avoid having to pay their en-
ergy bills in advance or within few weeks, thus reducing their 
immediate liquidity needs.
On March 27, 2023, the Commission approved the reintro-
duction of a €396 million Spanish scheme to reduce elec-
tricity consumption levies imposed on energy-intensive en-
terprises.
On April 3, 2023, the Commission approved a €450 million 
Italian scheme to support investments in the integrated pro-
duction of renewable hydrogen and renewable electricity in 
brownfield sites.
On April 24, 2023, the Commission approved a €450 million 
Spanish  scheme  to  support  gas-intensive  manufacturing 
companies in the context of Russia’s war against Ukraine. 
On  April  25,  2023,  the  Commission  approved  a  prolonged 
and amended State aid measure issued by Spain and Por-
tugal  to  reduce  wholesale  electricity  prices  on  the  Iberian 
market (MIBEL), lowering the input costs of fossil fuel power 
plants.
On May 11, 2023, the Commission approved a €837 million 
Spanish scheme to support the production of batteries for 
electric and related vehicles, for the benefit of battery man-
ufacturers, their key components and related raw materials.
On  May  17,  2023,  the  Commission  approved  the  amend-
ments to an existing Greek scheme, including an up to €600 
million budget increase to support non-domestic electricity 
users in the context of the Ukraine crisis.
On  June  19,  2023,  the  Commission  approved,  within  the 

TCTF,  two  Italian  schemes  totaling  €535  million  to  finance 
contribution relief for newly hired young people and women 
until December 31, 2023.
On  July  7,  2023,  the  Commission  approved  a  €350  million 
Spanish scheme, entirely funded under the NRRP and oper-
ational until June 2026, to support the construction and op-
eration of electricity storage plants.
On  August  8,  2023,  the  Commission  approved,  within  the 
TCTF, an Italian scheme totaling €100 million to support com-
panies active in Sardinia.
On August 9, 2023, the Commission approved a €150 million 
Italian scheme denominated “Sicilian Energy Bonus” to sup-
port companies active in Sicily. 
On October 9, 2023, the Commission approved a €100 mil-
lion Italian scheme in the form of direct subsidies to support 
the production of electrolyzers within the TCTF.
On  October  31,  2023,  the  Commission  approved  a  €61.5 
million Italian scheme exempting private employers from the 
payment of social security contributions for the hiring of dis-
advantaged workers.
On November 10, 2023, the Commission approved a €1.7 bil-
lion Italian scheme supporting agrivoltaic installations, fund-
ed under the NRRP and operational until December 31, 2024. 
The scheme provides investment grants for the construction 
and operation of new photovoltaic plants in Italy, with a total 
capacity of 1.04 GW and an annual electricity generation of 
at least 1,300 GWh, to become operational by June 30, 2026.
On November 20, 2023, the Commission approved amend-
ments  to  a  Spanish  scheme,  already  approved  in  2022,  to 
compensate energy-intensive companies with the partial re-
imbursement of indirect emissions costs under the EU ETS. 
The amendments essentially consist in a budget increase of 
€5.61 billion leading to an overall budget of €8.51 billion to 
partially compensate those firms for an increase in electricity 
bills due to the impact of the price of carbon on electricity 
costs.
On  November  22,  2023,  the  Commission  approved  a  €5.7 
billion Italian scheme to support renewable energy commu-
nities,  in  particular  generation  and  self-consumption  from 
renewable power generation installations, as well as the ex-
pansion of existing ones. The part of the scheme financed by 
the National Recovery and Resilience Plan will run until De-
cember 31, 2025, while the remaining part of the scheme will 
run until December 31, 2027. 
On  November  28,  2023,  the  Commission  approved,  within 
the  TCTF,  a  €1.1  billion  Spanish  scheme  to  support  invest-
ments in the production of equipment needed to facilitate 
the transition to a zero-emission economy, targeting man-
ufacturers  of  batteries,  solar  panels,  wind  turbines,  heat 
pumps and electrolyzers, as well as key components main-
ly designed and used as direct inputs for the production of 
such  equipment  or  related  critical  raw  materials  necessary 
for their production.
On  December  19,  2023,  the  Commission  authorized  the 
amendment of a 2017 Italian support scheme (SA. 38635) for 

242 Integrated Annual Report 2023

electricity-intensive firms in the form of reductions in certain 
levies on electricity consumption with the aim of mitigating 
the risk that, due to these levies, these businesses will relo-
cate their activities to locations outside the European Union 
with less ambitious climate policies.
On December 21, 2023, the Commission approved, under EU 
State aid rules, a €17.7 billion Italian scheme to support the 
construction and operation of a centralized electricity stor-
age system with a joint capacity of more than 9 GW/71 GWh. 
The scheme will run until December 31, 2033.

We continued to provide support in 2023 to the assessment 
of the State aid aspects of priority projects for the Group un-
der the NRRP. 
More specifically, on July 20, 2023 the European Commission 
has approved an €89.5 million Italian measure consisting in 
a  direct  grant  through  the  Recovery  and  Resilience  Facility 
to support 3SUN’s investment for the expansion of its solar 
panels factory. Discussions in the 1st Half of 2023 with the 
DG Competition in Brussels before, during and after the State 
aid notification were fundamental in obtaining approval.
The evaluation of IPCEI (Important Projects of Common Euro-
pean Interest) hydrogen projects and the related conditions 
for granting already approved State aid continues.

Rules governing plants essential to the electrical supply 
system

Within the rules governing ancillary services, certain plants 
are  classified  as  essential  due  to  their  territorial  location, 
their  technical  characteristics  and  their  relevance  for  Ter-
na SpA in resolving specific critical issues with the grid. In 
return  for  meeting  availability  and  market  supply  require-
ments,  these  plants  receive  specific  remuneration  deter-
mined  by  the  Regulatory  Authority  for  Energy,  Networks 
and the Environment (hereinafter “ARERA” or the “Author-
ity”).  The  obligations  and  specific  remuneration  granted 
are determined each year on the basis of a procedure for 
identifying,  for  each  plant,  the  specific  regulatory  regime 
among those provided for in the rules governing essential 
plants, namely:
•  alternative  contracts  pursuant  to  Article  65-bis  of  An-
nex A to ARERA Resolution no. 111/2006, which provides 
for the payment of a fixed premium based on the power 
identified as essential for the management of the elec-
tricity system against the obligation to offer that power 
on the ASM (Ancillary Services Market) within maximum/
minimum price limits for increasing/decreasing quanti-
ties and in the hours defined ex-ante by ARERA. The de-
cision to opt for this contract is left to the operator in the 
phase preceding the publication of the list of essential 
systems and entails exclusion from the other regimes in-
dicated below for the contracted capacity;

•  ordinary regime pursuant to Article 64 of the aforemen-
tioned  Resolution,  which  establishes  requirements  to 

supply the DAM (Day-Ahead Market) and the IM (Intraday 
Market) solely for quantities of power requested by Ter-
na, against payment of the higher specific variable costs 
of  the  units  involved.  Outside  the  hours  and  quantities 
specified by Terna, supply on the DAM and IM is free of 
constraints. Finally, all supply on the ASM is subject to an 
obligation to offer quantities at the specific variable cost 
calculated for the production unit;

•  the  cost  reimbursement  regime  pursuant  to  Article  65 
of  the  aforementioned  Resolution,  which,  in  return  for 
meeting  supply  obligations  for  the  entire power of the 
plant and at all hours of the year, provides for payment 
of fixed costs, including a return on invested capital and 
variable costs, net of revenue generated. Participation in 
this  regime  is  subject  to  an  ARERA  decision  upon  ap-
plication of the operator. The reimbursement is settled 
by ARERA in the form of payments on account and pay-
ment of a final balance, based on requests submitted by 
the operator.

With Resolution no. 532/2022/R/eel ARERA set the invest-
ed capital remuneration rate for essential plants eligible for 
reimbursement of costs for 2023 at 11.9%. For 2024, with 
Resolution no. 481/2023/R/eel, WACC was set at 9.7%.

Essential plant designations for Enel plants in 2023 and 
2024

For  2023  with  Resolution  no.  742/2022/R/eel  the  Sulcis, 
Portoferraio  and  Assemini  plants  were  declared  eligible 
for the cost reimbursement scheme. With Resolution no. 
624/2023/R/eel, these same plants were declared eligible 
for  the  cost  reimbursement  scheme  also  for  2024,  with 
the exception of the Portoferraio plant which was not con-
sidered essential by Terna for the year.

The  Porto  Empedocle  plant  is  eligible  for  long-term  cost 
reimbursement  until  2025,  while  plants  located  on  the 
smaller  islands  are  automatically  eligible  for  cost  reim-
bursement for all years in which they are declared essen-
tial, including 2023. 
For  2023  and  2024  the  remainder  of  essential  capacity 
was contracted under alternative contracts to the essen-
tial plant regime (pursuant to Article 65-bis of Annex A of 
Resolution no. 111/2006).

Maximization of thermal generation by plants powered 
by non-gas alternative fuels

In  order  to  tackle  the  gas  supply  problems  for  the 
2022/2023  thermal  year,  Decree  Law  14/2022  (the  so-
called “Ukraine Decree”) allowed the Ministry of Ecological 
Transition (MiTE, now Ministry of the Environment and En-
ergy Security - MASE) to require Terna to maximize ther-
mal generation by plants with a capacity of over 300 MW 
powered by non-gas alternative fuels, as well as genera-
tion  by  bioliquid  plants  and  –  with  Law  of  April  21,  2023 
– biomass. The decree law also contains measures for the 
competent  institutions  to  cooperate  on  issuing  environ-
mental  waivers  that  may  be  necessary  for  the  operation 
of plants whose output is to be maximized and ask ARERA 
to establish the supply rules for those plants and the re-
imbursement of costs incurred following the activation of 
the measure. 
With its Guidelines of September 1, 2022, the MiTE (now 
MASE)  asked  Terna  to  draw  up  and  implement  a  gas-al-
ternative production maximization plan for the September 
19, 2022 - March 31, 2023 period to enable a savings of 1.8 
billion  cubic  meters  of  gas,  minimizing  recourse  to  envi-
ronmental waivers.
Terna has identified the plants that will take part and, on 
September  19,  launched  the  production  maximization 
plan. Enel’s Sulcis, Fusina, Torrevaldaliga Nord, and Brindisi 
plants are included.
With  its  Resolution  no.  430/2022/R/eel,  ARERA  estab-
lished that:
•  for plants that are already deemed essential plants eli-
gible for the cost reimbursement scheme (Sulcis plant), 
the existing supply and production cost reimbursement 
rules will continue to apply;

•  for  other  plants,  the  operator  is  required  to  present 
bids  relating  to  the  maximization  plan  announced  by 
Terna  at  the  minimum  technical  price  on  the  energy 
markets and at the recognized variable cost (RVC) for 
each unit of generation in the ASM. Terna pays to the 
operator  any  positive  difference  between  the  energy 
market price and the RVC; while Terna pays to opera-
tors whose bids are accepted for sale on the ASM the 
day-ahead market zonal prices, if higher than the RCV. 
If revenue is not sufficient to cover even the fixed costs 
incurred during the maximization period, the operator 
can request that ARERA reimburse these costs, exclud-

ing the remuneration and amortization of the capital in-
vested in the plant prior to the start of the maximization 
procedure. 

With its Guidelines of April 1, 2023, the MASE asked Ter-
na to continue the maximization plan until September 30, 
2023.  Terna  confirmed  the  inclusion  of  Enel  plants  and 
defined a production maximization plan for the May 15 - 
September 30, 2023 period. 
With  its  Resolution  no.  258/2023/R/eel  ARERA  approved 
Enel Produzione’s petition to review the criteria for deter-
mining  the  variable  cost  recognized  that  is  applicable  to 
the plants of Brindisi Sud, Fusina and Torrevaldaliga Nord. 
The updated parameters after the issue of the resolution 
will be used in the determination of income items for the 
entire  period  covered  by  the  maximization  plan,  that  is 
from September 19, 2022 until completion of the plan, on 
September 30, 2023.

Capacity remuneration mechanism
On June 28, 2019, the Minister for Economic Development 
issued  a  decree  approving  the  definitive  rules  governing 
the capacity remuneration mechanism (the capacity mar-
ket). On November 6 and November 28, 2019 two auctions 
were held with delivery in 2022 and 2023 respectively: Enel 
was awarded capacity for both years. A number of opera-
tors and a sectoral trade association contested the decree 
and the results of the two auctions before the Lombardy 
Regional Administrative Court. 
Two operators also challenged the European Commission 
decision  approving  the  Italian  mechanism  before  the  EU 
Court. In two decisions dated 7 September 2022, the Eu-
ropean General Court dismissed the actions and the two 
applicant companies decided to not appeal the decisions 
before the Court of Justice of the European Union, thereby 
concluding the disputes. 
The disputes are, however, still pending before the Lom-
bardy Regional Administrative Court, which had suspend-
ed its proceedings in April 2021 pending the rulings of the 
EU Court, having identified an issue for which a preliminary 
ruling was called for with respect to these proceedings.
With the Decree of the MiTE of October 28, 2021, the new 
capacity  market  regulation  was  approved.  It  will  apply  to 
auctions with delivery from 2024. In execution of the de-
cree,  Terna  launched  the  auction  procedures  for  2024, 
which  took  place on February 21,  2022.  Enel  was award-
ed annual contracts for approximately 10.4 GW of existing 
capacity with delivery in 2024, and contracts for approxi-
mately 1.5 GW of new capacity with a duration of 15 years 
from  2024  to  2038.  Pursuant  to  the  decree,  the  results 
of the 2024 auction will be used as the basis for assess-
ing whether to hold an auction for the 2025 delivery year. 
In  December  2021,  two  operators  filed  two  appeals  with 
the  Lombardy  Regional  Administrative  Court  against  the 
MiTE Ministerial Decree of 28 October 2021, Terna’s 2021 

244 Integrated Annual Report 2023

Capacity  Market  Regulations  and  the  ARERA  resolutions 
which define the framework for the execution of the ca-
pacity auction for 2024. In May 2022, the same companies 
also  challenged  the  detailed  report  of  the  results  of  the 
main auction for 2024, published by Terna.

In March 2022, ARERA issued Resolution no. 83/2022/R/
eel with urgent measures to change the methods of cal-
culating the strike price of the capacity market, introduc-
ing  a  mechanism  for  indexing  on  a  daily  basis  the  com-
ponents relating to the cost of gas and the issue charges 
included in the calculation of the strike price, in order to 
cope with the increased volatility of the natural gas spot 
market  since  2022.  The  new  methodology  replaced  the 
previous formulas, which provided for an indexation of the 
strike price on a monthly basis, and was confirmed by AR-
ERA with Resolution no. 583/2023/R/eel for 2024. With a 
notice  of  September  18,  2023,  Terna  published  the  new 
version of the technical provisions for the functioning of 
the  capacity  market  valid  for  2023  and  2024,  which  es-
tablish a new method for verifying the energy availability 
requirements for the storage facilities participating in the 
capacity market on the basis of which these systems are 
remunerated.

On December 20, 2023 Terna announced the start of the 
consultation on the updating of the capacity market regu-
lations containing the new rules for the award of contracts 
through new auctions from 2025.

Renewable energy communities
At the end of November 2021, Legislative Decree 199/2021 
implementing  Directive  2018/2001  on  the  promotion  of 
the use of energy from renewable sources was published in 
the Gazzetta Ufficiale. The decree also contains provisions 
on self-consumption arrangements and renewable ener-
gy communities, which are already governed in Italy by the 
experimental regulations introduced with Law 8/2020 (rat-
ifying Decree Law 162/2019, the “Milleproroghe” omnibus 
extension act) and subsequent implementation measures 
(ARERA Resolution no. 318/2020/R/eel and Ministerial De-
cree of September 16, 2020 of the Ministry for Economic 
Development). 
In  December  2022,  in  implementation  of  Legislative  De-
cree  199/2021,  ARERA  approved  the  Consolidated  Dis-
tributed  Self-Consumption  Code  (TIAD)  which  sets  out 
the  new  regulatory  framework  for  energy  communities 
and self-consumption arrangements. In November 2023, 
the European Commission approved the draft decree pro-
posed by the MASE, which defines new incentive mecha-
nisms  for  these  communities  and  arrangements.  Follow-
ing approval by the European Commission, on January 23, 
2024 the MASE published the new decree, with full imple-
mentation commencing on January 24, 2024. The Decree 
of September 16, 2020 will be repealed starting from the 

sixtieth day following the date of adoption of the opera-
tional rules, which will be determined by the ESO (Energy 
Services Operator).

Iberia

Royal Decree Law 6/2022 of March 29 
adopting urgent measures as part of the Plan 
for the National Response to the economic 
and social consequences of the war in Ukraine, 
Royal Decree Law 11/2022 of June 25 adopting 
and extending certain measures to respond to 
the economic and social consequences of the 
war in Ukraine, address situations of social and 
economic vulnerability and the economic and 
social recovery of the island of La Palma
On March 30, 2022, Royal Decree Law 6/2022 of March 29 
was published in Spain’s Official Journal, approving certain 
measures as part of the Plan for the National Response to 
the  consequences  of  the  war  in  Ukraine.  The  legislation 
contains various measures for the energy sector, some of 
which were extended until December 31, 2022 with Royal 
Decree  Law  11/2022  of  June  25  and  until  December  31, 
2023  with  Royal  Decree  Law  18/2022  of  October  18  and 
Royal Decree Law 20/2022 of December 27. Some of the 
most significant measures were the following:
•  extension until December 31, 2022 of the payment ob-
ligation  that  Royal  Decree  Law  17/2021  of  September 
14  established  for  non-emitting  generation  plants  in 
proportion to the presumed higher revenue that those 
plants  would  have  earned  following  the  incorporation 
into wholesale electricity prices of the value of the price 
of natural gas. Power hedged with fixed-price forward 
contracts  before  March  31,  2022  will  be  exempt  from 
the  application  of  the  mechanism.  Hedging  instru-
ments with a duration equal to or greater than one year 
and a fixed price after March 31, 2022 will be excluded 
if  the  fixed  price  is  equal  to  or  less  than  €67/MWh.  In 
the case of bilateral contracts between generators and 
retailers  in  the  same  business  group,  the  hedge  price 
will be the price that sellers pass on to final consumers 
and, in this case, the exempt fixed price will be deter-
mined by increasing the value by €67/MWh in the aver-
age marketing margin of the sector; 

•  the reduction in the remuneration of generation from 
intramarginal  plants  was  subsequently  not  extended, 
meaning  the  mechanism  expired  on  December  31, 
2023.  Exceptionally,  within  two  months  of  the  entry 
into  force  of  the  royal  decree  law,  a  ministerial  order 
will  update  the  remuneration  parameters  for  renew-
able  sources,  cogeneration  and  waste  plants,  taking 
account of forward prices for the 2nd Half of 2021 for 
market  prices  and  carbon  dioxide  (CO2).  Furthermore, 
starting  from  2023  inclusive,  the  adjustment  mecha-

Regulatory and rate issues

245

nism for deviations from the market price is eliminat-
ed,  in  order  to  encourage  the  forward  sale  of  energy 
by  these  plants.  However,  Royal  Decree  Law  10/2022 
of May 13 restored the adjustment mechanism for de-
viations  from  the  market  price,  incorporating  forward 
benchmarks in relation to the expected price;

•  specific, simplified procedures have been established to 
promote the streamlining of the authorization process 
for new renewable plants or plants under construction, 
for wind projects up to 75 MW and photovoltaic plants 
up to 150 MW, with connection lines of less than 15 kW;
•  as regards the access auctions, for two years from the 
publication of the royal decree law, in the nodes where 
the capacity tenders were held, 10% of the available re-
served  capacity  will  be  released  for  renewable  plants 
(linked  to  transmission  or  distribution)  for  self-con-
sumption;

•  exceptionally, for the 2023-2025 period, electricity dis-
tributors  must  specifically  include  in  their  investment 
plans specified actions to increase the capacity of their 
networks  to  allow  the  evacuation  of  electricity  from 
renewable sources and self-consumption, which must 
represent a minimum of 10% of the investment eligible 
for the remuneration paid by the system each year, and 
must  be  primarily  intended  for  areas  where  there  is  a 
lack of access capacity for renewable energy;

•  strategic natural gas reserves will be increased from 20 
days of consumption to 27.5 days, with greater flexibil-
ity.

Royal Decree Law 10/2022 of May 13 
establishing a temporary generation cost 
adjustment mechanism to reduce wholesale 
electricity prices
On May 14, 2022, Royal Decree Law 10/2022 of May 13 was 
published in Spain’s Official Journal. It establishes a tempo-
rary mechanism for adjusting generation costs to reduce 
the wholesale price of electricity. The measure establishes 
a mechanism for adjusting the generation costs of mar-
ginal fossil fuel technologies, with the aim of obtaining an 
equivalent reduction in the clearing price of the wholesale 
market until May 31, 2023.
Under  this  mechanism,  the  adjustment  is  based  on  the 
difference  between  a  benchmark  price  for  the  gas  con-
sumed  by  thermal  generation  plants  (€40/MWh  for  six 
months, subsequently increasing by €5/MWh per month, 
up to €70/MWh) and the spot price of gas on the Span-
ish  organized  gas  market  (MIBGAS).  This  mechanism  will 
be  applicable  to  combined-cycle,  coal  and  cogeneration 
plants not covered by any regulated remuneration frame-
work.  The  amount  of  the  adjustment  will  be  distributed 
among the portion of Iberian demand that directly bene-
fits, either because it buys energy at a price directly relat-
ed to the wholesale market value or because it has signed 
or renewed a contract that already takes account of the 

beneficial  effect  of  the  wholesale  pricing  mechanism. 
With regard to the latter aspect, the storage supply units, 
whether batteries or pumping systems, as well as supply 
units  for  auxiliary  generation  services,  are  exempt  from 
payment of the cost of the mechanism.
The entry into force of the mechanism was subject to the 
authorization  of  the  European  Commission,  which  was 
granted on June 8, 2022, following which the Ministry for 
the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge 
(MITECO)  approved  order  TED/517/2022  of  June  8,  which 
established June 14, 2022 as the start date for application 
of the mechanism (for the June 15 market day). In addition, 
this Royal Decree Law includes the following:
•  a  mandate  has  been  established  to  introduce  a  refer-
ence  to  forward  market  prices,  incorporating  a  price 
component  based  on  a  basket  of  products  (annual, 
quarterly and monthly) and a daily and intraday market 
price  component,  so  that  the  new  voluntary  price  for 
small  consumers  (PVPC)  energy  costing  formula  can 
begin to be applied in early 2023. Therefore, the MITE-
CO began hearings on the drafting of a royal decree to 
modify the PVPC energy costing formula to incorporate 
a  forward  basket  of  products  in  addition  to  the  daily 
and  intraday  market  price  component.  Moreover,  the 
cost of funding the Bono Social by the operators of the 
reference market is incorporated in the PVPC. The draft 
royal decree also modifies the scope of application of 
the  PVPC,  which  would  apply  to  residential  customer 
and  micro-enterprises  with  a  contractual  capacity  of 
no more than 10 kW. Finally, changes were made to the 
rules for non-peninsular territories;

•  the  regime  for  the  installation  of  renewable,  cogene-
ration  and  waste  facilities  has  been  modified  to  rein-
troduce the adjustment mechanism for deviations from 
the market price and to incorporate a basket of prices 
in  the  price  forecast,  which  will  include  both  the  daily 
market and forward benchmarks (annual, quarterly and 
monthly), with different weights.

Royal Decree Law 17/2022 of September 
20 adopting urgent measures in the field of 
energy, in application of the remuneration 
system for cogeneration plants and 
temporarily reducing the Value Added Tax (VAT) 
rate applicable to intra-EU delivery, import and 
acquisition of certain fuels
On  September  21,  2022,  Royal  Decree  Law  17/2022  of 
September  20  was  published,  containing  several  urgent 
measures  in  the  energy  field,  some  of  which  were  sub-
sequently extended by Royal Decree Law 20/2022 of De-
cember 27. The measures adopted were as follows:
•  option for cogeneration plants to temporarily waive the 
regulated remuneration scheme in favor of the adjust-
ment mechanism for production costs provided under 
Royal Decree Law 10/2022 of May 13;

246 Integrated Annual Report 2023

•  creation  of  a  new  active  demand  response  service 
through auctions managed by the system operator;
•  greater  flexibility  in  determining  network  transmission 
capacity, and streamlining and simplifying procedures 
for renewable energy projects;

•  reduction in the VAT rate from 21% to 5% on supplies of 
natural  gas,  pellets,  briquettes,  and  firewood  until  De-
cember 31, 2023;

•  application of the entire surplus for 2021 to cover tem-
porary  imbalances  and  transitory  deviations  between 
revenue and costs in the 2022 financial year.

Royal Decree Law 18/2022 of October 
18 which approves measures to reinforce 
the protection of energy consumers and 
to contribute to reducing natural gas 
consumption in application of “Plan +Security 
for your energy (+SE)”, as well as measures on 
the remuneration of public sector workers 
and to protect seasonal agricultural workers 
affected by drought
The Royal Decree Law 18/2022 was published on October 
19,  2022,  and  implements  some  of  the  measures  con-
tained  in  the  “Plan  +Security  for  your  energy  (+SE)”.  The 
most significant features are as follows:
•  extension  of  the  mechanism  to  reduce  excess  elec-
tricity market remuneration caused by high natural gas 
prices in the international markets, introduced by Royal 
Decree Law 17/2021 of September 14, until December 
31, 2023;

•  until the ordinance regulating auctions for the supply of 
fuel in non-peninsular territories is approved, a new dy-
namic dispatch pricing system, based on monthly cal-
culations, will apply in these territories in order to make 
dispatching more efficient and reduce excess costs.

Law 38/2022 of December 27 on the 
establishment of temporary energy levies and 
taxes on credit institutions and financial credit 
establishments by creating the temporary 
solidarity tax on large fortunes, and amending 
certain tax rules 
On  August  30,  2022,  socialist  parliamentary  groups  and 
the parties constituting the government presented a draft 
law imposing temporary levies on the energy and banking 
sectors. 
The  law  was  published  in  Spain’s  Official  Journal  on  De-
cember  28,  2022,  after  being  approved  by  the  Spanish 
Parliament.
The main features of the energy levy under this law are as 
follows:
•  in 2023 and 2024, a temporary levy of 1.2% will be im-
posed on the net turnover derived from activity carried 
out in Spain in the previous calendar year, with the pay-
ment obligation arising as of the first day of the calen-

dar year;

•  the net turnover amount does not include revenue re-
lating  to  the  tax  on  hydrocarbons,  the  Canary  Islands 
special  tax  on  petroleum-derived  fuels  and  the  addi-
tional charges on fuels and petroleum products in Ceu-
ta and Melilla, which have been paid or incurred as an 
input tax. It will also exclude turnover relating to regu-
lated activities, meaning the supply at regulated prices 
(PVPC  for  electricity,  the  last  resort  rate  (TUR)  for  gas, 
bottled  LPG  and  piped  LPG),  the  regulated  revenue 
of  electricity  and  natural  gas  transmission  and  distri-
bution  networks  and,  in  the  case  of  generation  with 
regulated  remuneration  and  additional  remuneration 
in non-mainland areas, all plant revenue, including any 
received from the market and from dispatch services;
•  the  levy  will  apply  to  persons  or  entities  considered 
main  operators  in  the  energy  sectors,  with  an  annual 
net  turnover  in  2019  of  more  than  €1,000  million,  or 
whose net turnover in 2017, 2018 and 2019 from their 
qualifying activities exceeded 50% of total net turnover 
for that year. It also establishes that main operators will 
include any individuals or entities who carry out in Spain 
activities relating to the production of crude oil or nat-
ural gas, coal mining or oil refining, and who generate, 
in  the  year  preceding  that  in  which  the  levy  payment 
obligation  arises,  at  least  75%  of  their  turnover  from 
economic activities relating to mining, oil refining or the 
manufacture of coke products;

•  the  net  turnover  for  companies  that  are  part  of  a  tax 
group that is taxed on a consolidated basis is calculated 
based on the entire group;

•  the tax is legally classified as non-tax levies of a public 
nature which are not deductible for corporate income 
tax purposes, nor can they be passed on to customers/
third parties.

Royal Decree Law 20/2022 of December 27 
on measures to respond to the economic and 
social consequences of the war in Ukraine and 
to support the reconstruction of the island of 
La Palma and other situations of vulnerability
On December 28, 2022, Royal Decree Law 20/2022 of De-
cember 27 was published, with the following most signif-
icant aspects:
•  the  scope  of  application  of  the  exceptions  intro-
duced by Royal Decree Law 10/2022 of May 13 includes 
waste-to-energy plants authorized prior to 2013 with a 
power capacity of between 50 MW and 100 MW, which 
allows them to temporarily waive inclusion in the spe-
cific regulated remuneration scheme as is currently al-
lowed for cogeneration plants;

•  in  order  to  prevent  speculative  maneuvers  in  the  re-
newable energy sector and to avoid overwhelming the 
administrative process, some procedures for which ap-
plications have been submitted will be suspended for a 

Regulatory and rate issues

247

period of 18 months with regard to nodes reserved for 
capacity tenders;

•  progress  has  been  made  in  simplifying  and  speeding 
up the procedures for processing authorizations for re-
newable energy plants;

•  in  the  area  of  self-consumption,  the  distance  for  a 
photovoltaic  system  used  for  self-consumption  to  be 
considered in close proximity to the grid has been in-
creased from 1,000 to 2,000 meters, and they may be 
located, in addition to on rooftops, on industrial land or 
on structures whose primary purpose is not the gener-
ation of electricity;

•  with  regard  to  electricity  transmission,  by  March  31, 
2023 the government will start to modify the develop-
ment plans for the transmission grid to include priority 
measures  to  promote  the  energy  transition  and  that 
make  it  possible  to  develop  the  industrial  value  chain. 
On an exceptional basis, these measures may be par-
tially funded by the Recovery, Transformation and Resil-
iency Plan and are not subject to the investment limits 
for transmission companies;

•  aid will be available to gas-intensive companies to off-

set the increase in natural gas prices;

•  finally, a number of measures enacted to make natural 
gas supply contracts more flexible were extended until 
December 31, 2023.

Royal Decree Law 3/2023 of March 28, 
extending the generation cost adjustment 
mechanism to reduce wholesale electricity 
prices established by Royal Decree Law 
10/2022 of May 13
On  March  29,  2023  Royal  Decree  Law  3/2023  of  March 
28 was published in Spain’s Official Journal which, among 
other  things,  extends  for  seven  months  until  December 
31,  2023,  the  so-called  “Iberian  derogation”  mechanism 
established by Royal Decree Law 10/2022 of May 13. The 
royal decree law modifies and completes, until the end of 
2023, the evolution of the benchmark price for natural gas 
for the purpose of activating the mechanism, ranging be-
tween €45/MWh in January 2023to €65/MWh in Decem-
ber 2023.
The mechanism was not extended and expired on Decem-
ber 31, 2023.

Royal Decree Law 5/2023 of June 28, adopting 
and extending certain measures to respond 
to the economic and social consequences 
of the war in Ukraine and to support the 
reconstruction of the island of La Palma and 
other situations of vulnerability
On June 29, 2023, Royal Decree Law 5/2023 of June 28 was 
published  in  Spain’s  Official  Journal.  Among  other  things, 
it  includes  a  new  package  of  measures  to  respond  to 
the economic and social impact of the war in Ukraine on 

Spain, also with the extension of measures already adopt-
ed in the past. Its main features concerning energy are as 
follows: 
•  the  deadline  for  renewable  projects  with  access  per-
mits  from  January  1,  2018  in  the  process  of  obtaining 
administrative authorization for construction has been 
extended by six months. In any case, the five-year term 
from the start of work for commissioning has been re-
tained; 

•  the price references for electricity and fuels to be used 
for  calculating  the  remuneration  for  the  operation  of 
renewable energy, cogeneration and waste plants have 
been  modified  to  use values more  in  line  with current 
market levels. Order TED/741/2023 of June 30 updates 
remuneration  parameters  for  2023-2025,  incorporat-
ing among other things the provisions of Royal Decree 
Law 5/2023 of June 28;

•  in  line  with  European  legislation,  energy  communities 
formed  of  members  of  the  public  are  introduced  as 
a  new  figure  in  the  sector.  Among  other  rights,  such 
communities  may  own  distribution  networks  and  act 
as  consumer  representatives  to  engage  in  collective 
self-consumption activities;

•  all charging stations with a capacity exceeding 3 MW are 
declared to be public utility, with corresponding authori-
zation from the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and 
the Demographic Challenge. Accordingly, plants with an 
output of less than 3 MW are exempt from the require-
ment to obtain administrative authorization.

Royal Decree Law 8/2023 of December 27, 
adopting certain measures to respond to the 
economic and social consequences of the war 
in Ukraine and the Middle East and to alleviate 
the impact of drought
On December 28, 2023, Royal Decree Law 8/2023 of De-
cember 27 was published in Spain’s Official Journal. It ex-
tends the energy protection measures implemented in re-
sponse to the war in Ukraine, promotes renewable energy 
and contains measures to reduce the impact of drought. 
The key aspects concerning energy are as follows:
•  VAT:  VAT  on  electricity  increases  from  5%  to  10% 
throughout 2024 (provided that the average daily mar-
ket price of the previous month is above €45/MWh). For 
natural  gas,  VAT  rises  from  5%  to  10%  until  March  31, 
2024;

•  value of production tax (7%): 3.5% will be applied in the 
1st Quarter of 2024, 5.25% in the 2nd Quarter of 2024 
and 7% thereafter. The electricity system will be com-
pensated for the decline in receipts within the limit of 
the amount necessary to achieve balance between rev-
enue and expenditure in respect of those charges;
•  excise tax on electricity: this will rise from 0.5% to 2.5% 
in the 1st Quarter of 2020 and to 3.8% by the 2nd Quar-
ter of 2020, before increasing to 5% thereafter;

248 Integrated Annual Report 2023

•  energy  tax  (1.2%):  this  has  been  extended  until  2024, 
without  prejudice  to  the  establishment  in  the  2024 
State Budget of an incentive for strategic investments 
essential for the ecological transition (energy storage, 
new  renewable  fuels  such  as  biogas,  biomethane  or 
green hydrogen);

•  renewables, self-consumption and storage: the dead-
line  for  developing  new  renewables  projects  is  volun-
tarily extended to eight years. It is possible to incorpo-
rate  qualitative  criteria  into  renewables  auctions  that 
recognize the social and environmental added value of 
European industry;

•  self-consumption: to ensure the clearance of surplus-
es by self-consumption plants, a reserve of 10% of the 
capacity of all nodes of the electricity transmission net-
work has been reserved for access tenders;

•  network  capacity:  to  avoid  the  hoarding  of  network 
access permits for large-scale consumption, two mea-
sures have been introduced:
 – guarantees  for  large-scale  consumption  projects 
that connect to ≥36 kV grids equal to €40/kW and 
€20/kW for storage in demand mode, in addition to 
the €40/kW required in generation mode.
The guarantees also apply to permits already grant-
ed, which have six months to present the guarantees 
to  the  competent  body  and  another  six  months  to 
send the accreditation receipt to the grid operator;
 – automatic forfeiture of access and connection per-
mits, with connection point in a ≥36 kV grid, if within 
5  years  of  obtaining  those  permits  an  access  con-
tract is not signed for a contractual capacity in the 
P1 period equal to at least 50% of the access capac-
ity granted in the permit;

•  demand  tenders:  the  Ministry  for  the  Ecological  Tran-
sition  and  the  Demographic  Challenge  may  organize 
demand tenders on transmission grid nodes where the 
total  volume  of  new  applications  for  demand  access 
capacity is so great that it is impossible to satisfy them 
all;

•  hydroelectric  storage:  storage  is  included  among  the 
uses of water, ranking third in the established order of 
preference after the supply of civil use populations and 
agricultural use and ahead of electricity generation and 
other industrial uses. Pumping concessions are adapt-
ed to be considered hydraulic energy storage facilities 
and their repowering is encouraged.

Renewable energy auctions
Based  on  the  provisions  of  Order  TED/1161/2020  of  De-
cember  4,  which  sets  out  the  rules  for  the  first  auction 
held  under  the  economic  regime  for  renewable  energy 
and sets the indicative timetable for 2020-2025, the Res-
olution  of  July  18,  2022,  published  on  July  28,  2022,  an-
nounced the third auction under the economic regime for 
renewable energy. A total of 380 MW was allocated for the 

auction,  which  was  held  on  October  25,  2022.  Similarly, 
the Resolution of August 2, 2022, published on August 5, 
2022, announced a fourth auction, with 3,300 MW allocat-
ed for award, which was held on November 22, 2022.
Furthermore, in 2022 various ministerial orders where ap-
proved, updating the remuneration of some of the com-
pensation parameters of the structures, and work has be-
gun on updating the parameters for the 6-month regula-
tory period beginning in 2023.

Tenders for access capacity at certain nodes 
of the transmission grid
On June 10, 2022, the Ministry for the Ecological Transition 
and  the  Demographic  Challenge  began  preparation  of  a 
proposal for an Order for a tender for the access capac-
ity at certain nodes of the transmission network, in com-
pliance with the provisions of Royal Decree 1183/2020 of 
December  29  concerning  access  and  connection  to  the 
electricity  transmission  and  distribution  grids,  for  a  total 
capacity of 5,844 MW.
In addition, on August 9, 2022, the Resolution of the Sec-
retary of State for Energy of August 3, 2022 was published, 
containing the decision to hold another tender for access 
capacity at certain nodes of the transmission grid.

Fuel Order for non-peninsular territories
On  December  30,  2022,  Order  TED/1315/2022  was  pub-
lished, implementing Decision 1337/2021 of November 16, 
2021 of the Spanish Supreme Court, concerning the need 
to regulate auctions for the supply of fuel in the non-pen-
insular territories and other technical issues. 
The  Order  sets  out  the  procedure  for  conducting  fuel 
auctions, which will be held every two years and will be for 
the  product  used  in  the  plant  (or  the  raw  material  in  the 
case of gas from the Balearic Islands). The auctions will be 
reverse auctions based on starting prices obtained by in-
creasing the benchmark prices by 10% (3% in the case of 
natural gas), which will be those applied until the auctions 
are held or the auctions do not take place or are canceled. 
As from January 27, 2022, the benchmark price for natu-
ral  gas  will  be  the  price  on  the  Iberian  Gas  Market  (MIB-
GAS), while for other fuels it is determined on the basis of 
a number of international indices, to which a premium is 
added,  where  appropriate.  The  Order  also  grants  the  lo-
gistics costs of delivering the product to the plant, which 
can be revised every three years.
In addition, the Order also provides for the use of natural 
gas in the Canary Islands and in Melilla, as well as LPG in 
the Canary Islands, together with other less polluting fuels.
Following  the  publication  of  Order  TED/1315/2022,  on 
February 3, 2023 the resolution of January 24, 2023 of the 
Directorate General for Energy Policy and Mining was pub-
lished. It establishes product prices and special taxes ap-
plicable to coal, fuel oil and diesel for the 2nd Half of 2021, 
to  be  applied  in  the  settlement  of  this  period  for  gener-

ation units located in non-continental territories. Conse-
quently, the fuel prices were determined by applying the 
references referred to in the third transitional provision of 
Royal Decree 738/2015 of July 31, as the aforementioned 
Directorate  General  is  aware  of  the  fact  that  Decision 
1337/2021 of November 16 of the Spanish Supreme Court 
was declared contrary to the law and is not applicable to 
the determination of fuel prices.

Proposal for a resolution of the tender 
procedure for new investment and extension 
of the useful lives of existing units in non-
peninsular territories 
In implementation of Royal Decree 738/2015 of July 31, the 
Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demograph-
ic Challenge in January began hearings on the proposed 
resolution of the Secretariat of State for Energy calling the 
competitive procedure for the granting of favorable com-
patibility  resolutions  for  the  purposes  of  payment  of  the 
additional remuneration regime. The purpose of the pro-
cedure is to grant compatibility resolutions, among other 
things, for actions that enable coverage of additional elec-
tricity demand emerging from the coverage analyses con-
ducted by the System Operator. On November 6, 2023 a 
new version of this proposed resolution was again opened 
to the public. It updates the power requirements with the 
latest  information  provided  by  the  System  Operator  and 
introduces other elements, such as new criteria and scales 
for evaluating the applications submitted.

Regulatory amendments in non-peninsular 
territories 
Royal Decree 446/2023 of June 13 amending the calcula-
tion method for determining the voluntary price for small 
consumers (PVPC), modified certain regulatory aspects of 
generation in non-peninsular territories, including:
•  elimination of the adjustment factor for fuel bills effec-

tive as of January 1, 2023;

•  introduction of a correlation factor in the calculation of 
carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions allowances effective as 
of July 1, 2023 to consider actual emissions of plants;
•  in view of the financial impact of the extraordinary mea-
sures taken to ensure security of supply, it grants com-
pensation for the financial cost of the lag between the 
completion of settlement of regulated electricity sec-
tor activities for the year in which the measures are ap-
proved and the date of approval of the final settlement 
for that year, based on the one-year Euribor rate plus 
50 basis points.

Approval of final generation costs for 
generation units in non-peninsular territories 
In July 2023, the resolutions approving the definitive gen-
eration  costs  in  non-peninsular  territories  for  2018  and 
2019  were  published,  while  in  September  the  work  of 

drafting an  equivalent  proposed resolution  for  2020 was 
begun.

Rate revision – Introduction of temporary electricity 
price stabilization mechanisms
On November 2, 2019, Law 21.185 of the Ministry of En-
ergy  was  published,  introducing  a  temporary  electricity 
price  stabilization  mechanism  for  customers  subject  to 
rate regulation. Consequently, the prices to be applied to 
regulated customers in the 2nd Half of 2019 were lowered 
to those applied in the 1st Half of 2019 (Decree 20T/2018) 
and were defined as “stabilized prices for regulated cus-
tomers” (PEC).
Between January 1, 2021 and the expiry of this mechanism, 
the prices to be applied will be those set every six months 
on the basis of Article 158 of the Electricity Law and may 
not exceed the level of the PECs noted above adjusted for 
consumer price inflation.
Any differences between the amount invoiced by applying 
the  stabilization  mechanism  and  the  theoretical  amount 
that  could  be  invoiced  considering  the  price  that  would 
have  been  applied  in  accordance  with  the  contractual 
terms  and  conditions  agreed  with  the  various  electricity 
distribution  companies  will  be  accounted  for  as  receiv-
ables  for  invoices  to  be  issued  to  generation  companies 
up to a maximum of $1,350 million until 2023. These dif-
ferences will be recognized in US dollars and will not ac-
crue interest until the end of 2025. Any imbalances in favor 
of the generation companies must be recovered no later 
than December 31, 2027. It should be noted that the fund 
limit was reached in January 2022.

On August 2, 2022, the Ministry of Energy published Law 
21.472,  which  establishes  a  rate  stabilization  fund  and  a 
new  mechanism  for  the  temporary  stabilization  of  elec-
tricity prices for customers subject to rate regulation. This 
law establishes a Transitional Customer Protection Mech-
anism  (TCPM)  which  will  stabilize  energy  prices,  comple-
menting that provided for by Law no. 21.185, for custom-
ers subject to regulation of prices supplied by concession 
holders of the public distribution service governed by the 
General  Law  of  Electricity  Services.  The  purpose  of  the 
TCPM  will  be  to  pay  the  differences  that  occur  between 
the invoicing of distribution companies to end customers 
for  the  energy  and  power  component,  and  the  amount 
that  corresponds  to  the  payment  of  the  supply  of  elec-
tricity to generation companies. The resources appropri-
ated for the operation of the TCPM cannot exceed $1,800

million and their availability will be extended until the bal-
ances originating from the application of the law are ex-
tinguished. Starting from 2023, the National Energy Com-

mission must project the total payment of the residual final 
account every six months for a date that cannot be later 
than December 31, 2032.

The  Ministerial  Decree  of  July  4,  2019  provided  for  com-
petitive  procedures  based  on  Dutch  auctions  and  regis-
ters, depending on the installed capacity and by technol-
ogy  groups,  including  photovoltaic  systems.  In  particular, 
expected procedures are:
•  Dutch auctions for plants with a capacity of more than 

1 MW;

•  registers for plants with a capacity of less than 1 MW.
Unlike  previous  decrees,  the  Ministerial  Decree  of  July  4, 
2019 provides for a new method for supporting renewable 
sources through two-way contracts for differences under 
which the successful tenderer returns any positive differ-
ences between the zonal price and the auction price. The 
successful  tenderer  for  renewables  capacity  will  benefit 
from the incentive mechanism for the entire useful life of 
the plant (20, 25 or 30 years, according to the technology).

On November 30, 2021, Legislative Decree 199 of Novem-
ber  8,  2021  transposing  Directive  (EU)  2018/2001  on  the 
promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources 
(the RED II Decree) was published in the Gazzetta Ufficiale.
The  decree  provides  that  capacity  not  assigned  in  the 
auction procedures referred to in the Ministerial Decree of 
July 4, 2019 shall be put up for auction in subsequent pro-
cedures in 2022, until the publication of the new auction 
schedule for the next five years. Pending the new planning, 
an additional three auctions were called in 2023. 
In addition, the measure confirmed the same Dutch auc-
tion mechanisms for plants with a capacity greater than 1 
MW, providing for an exception for plants with a capacity 
greater than 10 MW, which will be able to use the mech-
anism even though they have not completed the authori-
zation process.
Plants with a capacity of less than 1 MW, on the other hand, 
will have direct access to incentives, with the exception of 
innovative technology plants, which will be able to access 
the subsidies through specific tenders.
The incentive mechanisms are being updated by the Min-
istry of the Environment and Energy Security (MASE) with 
a specific implementing decree.

The clawback mechanism
Decree Law 4 of January 27, 2022 (the Third Support De-
cree), ratified with Law 25 of March 28, 2022, introduced, 
for  the  period  February  2022  -  December  2022  a  two-
way refund mechanism for plants powered by renewable 

sources receiving incentives through the energy account 
and for all plants powered by renewable sources that are 
not receiving incentives and that entered service by Janu-
ary  2010.  Producers  must  return  the  difference  between 
the market price, or the contracted price for forward sales, 
and  a  reference  price  identified  in  the  same  decree  for 
each market zone (an average of €60/MWh). Decree Law 
115  of  August  9,  2022  (the  Second  Aid  Decree),  ratified 
with Law 142 of September 21, 2022, introduced a number 
of  amendments  to  the  Third  Support  Decree  by  extend-
ing the period of application of the clawback mechanism 
until  June  2023,  specifying  that,  for  vertically  integrated 
groups,  only  contracts  signed  by  group  companies  (in-
cluding  non-generators)  with  other  natural  or  legal  per-
sons  outside  the  group  are  eligible.  The  implementation 
procedures for this mechanism were specified by ARERA 
with Resolution no. 266/2022/R/eel (for the period Febru-
ary 1, 2022 - December 31, 2022) and with Resolution no. 
143/2023/R/eel (for the period January 1, 2023 - June 30, 
2023). 
Finally,  the  2023  Budget  Act  (Law  197  of  December  29, 
2022),  transposing  Regulation  (EU)  1854/2022,  extended 
the reimbursement scheme to plants not covered by De-
cree Law 4 of January 27, 2022, establishing a cap of €180/
MWh. 
ARERA Resolution no. 266/2022/R/eel, together with oth-
er technical standards with which the Energy Services Op-
erator (ESO) required the generators concerned to repay 
the amounts due, was the subject of an appeal before the 
Lombardy  Administrative  Regional  Court  (TAR).  The  TAR 
granted  the  appeals  filed  by  several  operators,  voiding 
the  resolution  and  the  consequential  measures.  ARERA 
lodged a precautionary appeal of the voidance ruling be-
fore the Council of State, which met on March 21, 2023. On 
March 22, 2023, with precautionary orders no. 1124/2023, 
1126/2023  and  1127/2023,  the  Council  of  State  granted 
the precautionary petition filed by ARERA, setting a hear-
ing for discussion on December 2023, which was subse-
quently postponed to another date to be determined.
At  the  same  time,  another  operator  appealed  ARERA 
Resolution no. 266/2022/R/eel as well as the second res-
olution  no.143/2023/R/eel.  As  part  of  this  judgment,  the 
Lombardy TAR referred the assessment of the compliance 
of the mechanism envisaged in the Third Support Decree 
with respect the EU regulatory framework to the Court of 
Justice of the European Union, suspending the proceed-
ing until the Court’s decision.

Renewable energy
As in the rest of Europe, Spain in the 1st Half of 2023 was 
also involved in the consultation by the European Commis-
sion on the Electricity Market Design, which should lead to 
the adoption of a proposal by Brussels by next March. 

One of the most important issues facing Spain in 2023 with 
regard  to  the  development  of  new  renewable  generation 
capacity is compliance with the milestones that Royal De-
cree 23/2020 establishes to maintain access and connec-
tion permits to the grid. The deadline for certifying the En-
vironmental Impact Statement and the prior administrative 
authorization  expired  in  the  1st  Half  of  2023.  Nationwide, 
more than 50 GW of power from wind and solar projects 
successfully achieved these two milestones. 
In the case of Enel Green Power-Endesa, most of the power 
in the pipeline also achieved these requirements (more than 
4 GW).
As in 2022, the achievement of these goals monopolizes a 
considerable portion of the activity of the central adminis-
tration, of the Autonomous Communities and, obviously, of 
the promoters of renewable generation.

At  the  end  of  2022,  the  Spanish  government  published  a 
resolution for the grant of aid, under competitive tendering, 
for the repowering of wind farms, as well as aid for the de-
velopment of recycling facilities for decommissioned wind 
turbine  components.  Enel  Green  Power-Endesa  has  sub-
mitted applications for a grant of aid both for the repower-
ing  of  wind  farms  and,  together  with  its  partners,  for  the 
recycling of wind turbine blades. In November 2023 the de-
finitive allocation of aid for the repowering of wind projects 
with the funds of the Recovery, Transformation and Resil-
ience Plan was published. Enel Green Power was awarded 
€17.6 million contributing to the repowering of six projects 
for a total of 100.3 MW.

At the end of 2022, the Spanish government also published 
a  call  for  tenders  for  hybrid  storage  projects.  In  case  of 
award, applicants receive a grant to finance investment in 
and development of the projects. Enel Green Power-Ende-
sa  submitted  various  projects  and  obtained  grants  in  the 
amount of €9.2 million in December 2023.

On December 28, 2023, the Royal Decree Law 8/2023 was 
published.  It  includes  various  measures  related  to  renew-
able generation. It does not extend the reduction in gener-
ation remuneration governed by Royal Decree Law 17/2021, 
due to an excess price of €67/MWh. The measure expired 
therefore on December 31, 2023. The period of application 
of the “Iberian derogation”, governed by Royal Decree Law 
10/2022, was also not extended and therefore expired on 
December 31, 2023.

For  generation  projects  with  access  and  connection  per-
mits after December 31, 2017 and before this Royal Decree 
Law,  the  deadline  for  accreditation  of  the  administrative 
construction permit has been moved from January 25, 2024 
to July 25, 2024. Additionally, for those projects, an exten-
sion of the terms may be requested to obtain the definitive 
exploitation permit within a period of three months, up to a 
maximum of eight years (until July 25, 2028) indicating the 
half-year of commissioning. This enables the better orga-
nization  of  projects  to  be  carried  out  between  2024  and 
2028.
Furthermore,  the  royal  decree  provides  for  measures  to 
progressively restore the energy taxation in force before the 
start of the energy crisis resulting from the war in Ukraine.

Forced labor in the solar supply chain
In  June  2021,  US  customs  authorities  responded  to  re-
ports  by  issuing  a  “Withhold  Release  Order”  (WRO)  on 
silicon-based  products  manufactured  by  the  company 
Hoshine Silicon Industry Co. Ltd (Hoshine) and its subsidiar-
ies, since they have been accused of exploiting their work-
force. The WRO restricts the import into the United States 
of  polysilicon  products  made  by  Hoshine  Silicon  Industry 
Co. Ltd. 
The effect on the US solar industry was the halting of ship-
ments of photovoltaic modules by US customs, resulting in 
a delay in the delivery of solar equipment to end users, in-
cluding Enel.
All photovoltaic equipment manufacturers had to produce 
clear documentation of their supply chain to meet US cus-
toms  requirements.  The  documentation  had  to  prove  the 
specific  origin  of  metallurgical  grade  silicon  in  imported 
photovoltaic products and demonstrate the absence of any 
Hoshine product in any part of the mining or manufacturing 
process.
Enel’s  Code  of  Ethics  and  corporate  procedures  do  not 
permit the exploitation of workers by any Group supplier or 
subcontractor. Nevertheless, Enel is strengthening its con-
trols, reviewing its supply chain and monitoring the imple-
mentation of the WRO by customs officials.

In  a  separate  but  connected  development,  in  December 
2021, President Biden signed the Uyghur Forced Labor Pre-
vention Act (UFLPA). UFLPA requires US customs authorities 
to  apply  a  presumption  that  goods  “mined,  produced,  or 
manufactured in whole or in part” in the Xinjiang Uyghur Au-
tonomous Region are made with forced labor and, therefore, 
are prohibited from being imported into the United States. 

252 Integrated Annual Report 2023

Goods covered by this presumption shall not be allowed to 
enter unless the importer proves that:
•  it  has  fully  complied  with  government  guidelines  and 

regulations;

•  it  has  responded  fully  and  substantially  to  all  US  cus-

toms inquiries; and

•  it  is  determined  “with  clear  and  convincing  evidence” 
that the goods were not produced using forced labor. 

Polysilicon  is  one  of  the  three  industries  on  which  appli-
cation of the WRO is focused, and this focus extends to 
photovoltaic equipment that could contain raw materials 
mined in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.
Implementation  of  the  law  will  be  guided  by  an  adminis-
trative regulation process under way since February 2022, 
which is expected to be completed by June 2022.

A key element of the UFLPA came into force on June 21, 
2022:  rebuttable  presumption.  From  now  on,  any  import 
of  goods  mined,  produced  or  manufactured  in  whole  or 
in part in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (XUAR), 
or  from  entities  identified  in  a  new  UFLPA  entity  list,  will 
be assumed to have been made with forced labor and will 
be barred from entering the United States. To prevent US 
customs  from  blocking  the  delivery  of  goods,  importers 
will  need  to  demonstrate  whether  the  goods  to  be  im-
ported (or their components) were extracted, produced or 
manufactured  in  the  XUAR  and/or  whether  the  goods  to 
be imported were purchased from a supplier identified in 
the UFLPA entity list.
UFLPA  compliance  by  importers  should  ensure  compli-
ance  with  the  current  Withhold  Release  Order  (WRO), 
which blocks the import of any solar equipment containing 
metallurgical grade silicon manufactured by Hoshine. 

The  private  nature  of  the  blockade  imposed  by  US  cus-
toms  makes  it  difficult  to  monitor  the  application  of  the 
UFLPA.
Importers  with  solar  module  products  using  Chi-
nese-sourced polysilicon continue to be detained due to 
difficulties in providing complete traceability documenta-
tion. In December 2023, US customs apparently released 
detained  products  that  used  Chinese  polysilicon  not 
sourced from Xinjiang.
Separately,  ROTH  Capitol  reported  that  Astroenergy  also 
obtained US customs clearance for products made from 
Chinese polysilicon (Ordos and Asia Silicon) that “appear” 
to be made from Chinese quartz and MGS.

US duties on imported solar equipment
In February 2022, the Biden administration announced its 
decision to extend the duties applicable to imported solar 
panels.  The  decision  extends  the  collection  of  duties  for 
another four years, while adopting a very marginal annual 
tariff reduction: the duty on imported solar panels will de-

cline  by  0.25%  each  year.  It  is  important  to  note  that  the 
Biden  administration’s  decision  also  confirms  the  tariff 
exemption for bifacial solar modules, which are the main 
type of solar panels used by Enel for its utility-scale proj-
ects in the United States. The Biden administration is cur-
rently  carrying  out  an  intermediate  review  of  the  duty.  A 
final report is due to be sent to the President during 2024, 
after which the President could make changes to the duty 
or leave the corrective measures as they are.

Also  in  February  2022,  California-based  PV  manufactur-
er Auxin Solar filed a petition for a circumvention enquiry 
with the US Department of Commerce (DOC), asking the 
DOC to launch an investigation into whether crystalline sil-
icon PV cells and modules (CSPV) from Vietnam, Malaysia, 
Thailand and Cambodia were “circumventing” anti-dump-
ing and countervailing duties. The DOC then launched an 
investigation and in August 2023 the DOC officially ended 
the  “Auxin”  circumvention  investigation,  concluding  that 
the AD/CVD applicable to Chinese solar cells and modules 
will be extended to cells and modules from Cambodia, Ma-
laysia, Thailand and Vietnam.

President Biden issued an emergency declaration on June 
6, 2022, giving the DOC the authority to waive the collec-
tion of AD/CVD duties and, above all, deposits for duties on 
CSPV cells and modules exported from Vietnam, Malaysia, 
Thailand and Cambodia for 24 months, starting from the 
date of the announcement. The DOC is making use of this 
new  authority  and  has  issued  regulations  to  implement 
the 24-month emergency declaration, protecting affected 
imports from Auxin-related duties until June 2024.

The US Department of Commerce (DOC) also clarified that 
imports of solar cells and modules form Cambodia, Malay-
sia, Thailand and Vietnam will not be subject to suspension 
of settlement or cash deposit requirements if accompa-
nied by a certification that they are not circumventing AD/
CVD orders.

US duties on imported Chinese products
In  2018,  the  United  States  Trade  Representative  (USTR) 
conducted  a  Section  301  investigation  and  found  that 
China’s acts, policies and practices related to technology 
transfer, intellectual property and innovation were unrea-
sonable and discriminatory. 
As a result, it published five lists (List 1, 2, 3, 4A and 4B), 
each of which identifies different Chinese products sub-
ject to different duties. To Enel, the list of greatest interest 
is that including Chinese components used for wind and 
solar projects and batteries. 
In September 2022, the USTR announced that it was seek-
ing  public  comments  regarding  the  effectiveness  of  the 
Section  301  duties  in  order  to  understand  the  effects  of 
these on the economy and on US consumers in order to 

Regulatory and rate issues

253

identify any other actions that could be taken. 
The clean energy industry has called on the Biden admin-
istration to leave tariffs for batteries (7.5%) and battery cells 
(25%) unchanged; or to lower the tariff for battery cells to 
7.5%, eliminating the problem of tariff inversion.

Federal loans and incentives for clean energy in the 
United States
In  November  2021,  President  Biden  signed  the  $1  trillion 
Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), also known as 
the bipartisan infrastructure law, unlocking funds for new 
spending  on  roads,  bridges,  aqueducts,  broadband.  The 
new  law  also  contains  provisions  to  boost  the  expansion 
of  the  country’s  electricity  grid  and  support  existing  and 
new clean energy technologies. It also contains provisions 
to support existing nuclear power plants and hydroelectric 
plants,  clean  up  orphaned  wells  and  abandoned  mining 
lands and facilitate access to critical minerals needed for 
clean energy production. Of potential interest to Enel, the 
following programs were announced:
•  clean  hydrogen:  the  Department  of  Energy  (DOE)  has 
received $7 billion to develop between 6 and 10 “Clean 
Hydrogen  Hubs”  in  the  United  States.  Each  hub  will 
consist of a network of clean hydrogen producers, po-
tential consumers and connecting infrastructure locat-
ed  in  close  proximity.  The  DOE  received  applications, 
which had to be completed and sent by April 2023, and 
selected seven regional programs in October 2023. Ne-
gotiations to finalize proposals are under way;

•  the  National  Electric  Vehicle  Infrastructure  Formula 
Program (NEVI) has made $5 billion in funding available 
over five years and distributed across all 50 states. The 
plan aims to promote the development of battery-pow-
ered  cars,  ensuring  that  motorists  always  have  some-
where to charge their vehicles. The funding covers the 
cost of EV charging stations and the related infrastruc-
ture  (including  solar  power  and  storage  systems),  as 
well as operation and maintenance costs for five years;
•  electric vehicle charging infrastructure: the US Depart-
ment of Energy (DOE) and the US Department of Trans-
portation  (DOT),  acting  through  the  Federal  Highway 
Administration, have presented a plan to create a net-
work of public electric vehicle chargers along interstate 
highways worth $5 billion. The money will be distribut-
ed over five years across all 50 states. The plan aims to 
promote the development of battery-powered cars, en-
suring that motorists always have somewhere to charge 
their vehicles. Separately, the DOT, acting through the 
Federal Transit Administration, has announced a plan to 
distribute $5.3 billion in grants to state and local transit 
agencies for the “Low or No Emission Vehicle Program”. 
The  “Low  or  No  Emission  Vehicle  Program”  supports 
transport  agencies  in  purchasing  or  leasing  low  or  no 
emission  buses  and  other  transport  vehicles  that  use 
technologies such as electric batteries;

•  strengthening the power grid and expanding transmis-
sion: this program of $2.5 billion in government subsi-
dies over five years was introduced to strategically dis-
tribute publicly available EV charging infrastructure and 
other infrastructure to be located along alternative fuel 
corridors.  At  least  50%  of  this  funding  must  be  used 
for projects that expand access to EV recharging and 
alternative  fuel  infrastructures  in  rural  areas,  low-  and 
moderate-income sections and communities with little 
private parking;

•  electric school buses: $5 billion over five years has been 
allocated to replace existing diesel-powered school bus-
es with clean, zero-emission buses. Half of the funding 
will be spent on electric zero-emission buses, while the 
other  half  will  be  used  on  zero-emission  buses  pow-
ered with alternative fuels. Grants can cover up to 100% 
of the costs of replacing existing schools and installing 
charging and refueling stations. The IIJA will replace over 
1,000  transport  vehicles,  including  buses,  with  clean 
electric  vehicles,  thanks  to  an  additional  appropriation 
for the US DOT of $5.75 billion over the next five years, 
5% of which will be dedicated to training the transporta-
tion labor force on maintaining and managing the fleets.

Inflation Reduction Act of 2022
On  August  16,  2022,  President  Biden  signed  the  Inflation 
Reduction  Act  (IRA),  which  sets  aside  about  $415  billion 
over the next 10 years in the form of grants, tax credits and 
investments  to  support  new  clean  energy  technologies 
projects,  renewable  energy  generation,  the  electrification 
of  transport  systems  and  climate-smart  agriculture.  It  is 
expected that the measures will reduce carbon emissions 
by almost 40% in the United States by 2030 and will raise 
US GDP by 0.2% in 2031. The funding will be distributed as 
follows:
•  energy  (to  extend,  and  in  some  cases  increase,  tax 

credits; $263 billion);

•  climate  (to  accelerate  the  reduction  in  emissions  and 

support low-income communities; $48 billion);

•  generation (to encourage the domestic production of 
solar panels, wind turbines and batteries; $48 billion);
•  environment  (to  create  environmental  quality  incen-

tives; $27 billion);

•  transportation (through offering tax credits to consum-

ers; $24 billion);

•  water (through a drought-relief program; $5 billion).

The US Department of Treasury is currently working on the 
guidance needed for a new set of tax credits. The various 
tax credits will be phased down starting the latter of: 
•  December 31, 2032; or
•  the  year  in  which  the  US’s  greenhouse  gas  emissions 
from  electricity  generation  will  be  25%  below  2022 
emission levels.

254 Integrated Annual Report 2023

Depending on that status of the infrastructure to be built, 
tax  credits  may  be  available  beyond  2032.  The  following 
are the IRA provisions that are of greatest interest to Enel.

produced by the taxpayer in the United States Credits are 
available on an annual basis for components sold beginning 
in 2023 until 2032 (gradually reduced starting from 2030).

Extension  and  expansion  of  federal  tax  credits  for  clean 
energy:  the  IRA  extends  the  production  tax  credit  (PTC) 
($26.5/MWh for projects that begin construction after De-
cember 31, 2021) and introduces a new technology-neu-
tral clean electricity tax credit commencing in 2025. It also 
extends  the  investment  tax  credit  (ITC)  (30%  for  projects 
that  begin  construction  after  December  31,  2021)  and 
launches  a  new  technology-neutral  clean  electricity  ITC 
beginning  in  2025.  Solar  power  developers  may  now  re-
quest  PTC  instead  of  ITC.  However,  to  be  eligible  for  the 
full  credit,  projects  must  meet  the  prevailing  wage  and 
apprenticeship requirements for the entire period of con-
struction (and perhaps also for some of the maintenance 
activities);  project  owners  that  fail  to  comply  will  have  to 
pay a penalty or see their tax credit reduced to 20% ($5/
MWh PTC or 6% ITC). The IRA also adds stand-alone en-
ergy storage projects, in line with the conditions for solar 
power, and microgrid controllers, specifically for systems 
of between 4 kW and 20 MW, to the technology eligible 
for ITC.
The IRA creates a bonus tax credit if domestic content re-
quirements  or  energy  community  requirements  are  met. 
Another  new  bonus  tax  credit  is  available  for  solar  and 
wind facilities (and connected storage systems) located in 
low-income communities.
A new 10-year clean hydrogen PTC of $3 per kilogram is 
available for hydrogen produced after December 31, 2022. 
For a project to be eligible, construction must begin be-
fore January 1, 2033.

Extension and expansion of federal tax credits and loans 
for electric vehicles: in order to encourage the electrifica-
tion of the transportation sector, the IRA extends various 
tax credits for new and previously owned electric vehicles 
and commercial electric vehicles, including buses, and ex-
pands the tax credit to cover the purchase of EV charging 
equipment. 
The IRA allocates $1 billion for replacing heavy-duty Class 
6 and 7 commercial vehicles with zero-emission vehicles 
(for  example,  school  buses,  public  transportation  bus, 
garbage  trucks)  and  $3  billion  for  the  US  Postal  Service 
to  purchase  new  electric  delivery  vehicles  and  charging 
stations.

New  advanced  manufacturing  production  tax  credits:  the 
IRA creates a new PTC for the production of components 
for wind, solar and battery projects, such as solar PV cells, 
PV  wafers,  PV  modules,  wind  turbines,  nacelles,  inverters, 
battery  cells  and  modules,  and  many  others.  Tax  credit 
amounts vary by component, production cost and certain 
capacity  factors.  To  be  eligible,  the  component  must  be 

New  direct  payment  of  applicable  tax  credits  and  the 
transferability of some tax credits: the IRA creates the op-
tion for some sector operators to choose between direct 
pay  or transferability of  the  tax credit,  which  means that 
we  will  see  changes  in  the  ways  projects  are  developed 
and an expansion in the number of industries that devel-
op projects. Enel is particularly interested in the direct pay 
option for new advanced PTC and for new clean hydrogen 
PTC.

US Department of the Treasury solicits public input and 
finalizes IRA tax credit guidelines
The US Department of the Treasury spent much of 2023 
issuing  preliminary  guidance  and  soliciting  public  input 
before issuing final guidance. Although preliminary guide-
lines  have  been  published  for  most  of  the  tax  credits  of 
particular  interest  to  Enel  to  encourage  investment,  Enel 
is still awaiting the publication of final guidelines. The De-
partment of the Treasury does not expect to finalize all tax 
credit guidance related to the Inflation Reduction Act be-
fore 2024.

Development of renewable energy on federal/public 
lands
The  Biden  administration  set  the  goal  of  authorizing  25 
GW of renewable energy on public lands by 2025. In order 
to reach this goal, the administration has ordered federal 
agencies  to  accelerate  reviews  of  clean  energy  projects 
for production on public lands by establishing five new re-
newable energy coordination offices and has cut rents and 
fees for solar and wind projects on public lands by more 
than 50%.

Climate information
The US Securities and Exchange Commission is finalizing 
the rules on what climate-related information registrants 
need  to  disclose  in  their  filings  and  annual  reports.  Such 
information  will  include  data  on  greenhouse  gas  emis-
sions, certain climate-related financial metrics, and mate-
rial climate risk. The rules had been scheduled to be issued 
by the end of 2022, but the release date has been post-
poned several times.

Individual state policy actions
Texas  Governor  Abbott  signs  pro-fossil/anti-renewables 
legislation:  the 
legislation  promotes  state-sponsored 
low-interest loans for “dispatchable” generation, which is 
seen largely as a boon to the natural gas industry. The law 
also creates a new ancillary service that can only be satis-
fied by “dispatchable” generation, the conditions of which 
will  make  it  difficult  for  energy  storage  to  participate.  A

new  funding  mechanism  for  dispatchable  assets,  capped 
at $1 billion per year (net), will require assets to demonstrate 
their  availability  to  the  market  during  times  of  grid  stress. 
Interconnection charges will be awarded to the new gener-
ation that exceeds an average interconnection charge, de-
termined by the Public Utilities Commission of Texas (PUCT). 
The basic interconnection cost thresholds adopted by the 
PUCT  are  acceptable  according  to  the  renewables  indus-
try. The allowance for renewable energy systems intercon-
necting to lines of 138 kV or less is $12 million; for systems 
interconnecting to lines greater than 138 kV, the allowance 
is $22,5 million.
New  resources  interconnecting  after  2027  will  have  to 
demonstrate that they are able to meet an average level of 
production per season, based on their activity class, both 
by having on-site resources and through power purchase 
agreements.  Batteries  can  meet  this  requirement.  Many 
of these elements, including cost allocation, will be imple-
mented by PUCT or the Electric Reliability Council of Texas 
(ERCOT).

California  appropriates  significant  funds  for  clean  energy 
initiatives: at the end of 2022, California had an almost $100 
billion budget surplus and so allocated significant funding 
for various programs, including clean energy. Among these, 
it allocated a $550 million lump sum to support distributed 
backup  electricity  assets  (DEBA)  for  zero  or  low-emission 
resources to support the grid when necessary, and a one-
time $200 million appropriation for demand-side grid sup-
port (DSGS) to reduce the load on the grid during periods of 
extreme stress. 
In 2023, California will have a budget deficit of $31.5 billion, 
but no reduction of funds has been approved in the year. 
Since  the  budget  deficit  is  expected  to  be  even  higher  in 
2024, proposals to reduce funds to DEBA and to DSGS have 
been submitted.

Illinois  adopts  renewable  energy  siting  reform:  in  January 
2023, the Illinois legislation shifted renewable energy loca-
tion  decisions  away  from  local  communities  and  adopted 
pro-renewable energy siting standards that apply through-
out the state, which all communities must adopt when ap-
proving new projects. The legislation requires counties with 
an existing zoning ordinance that conflicts with provisions 
of the new law to amend their zoning ordinance to comply 
with state law by May 30, 2023. The new law specifies set-
back requirements, restrictions on the height of the blade 
tips, acoustic limitations and other restrictions. Most impor-
tantly, the law requires the county to make a decision on a 
project within 30 days of the conclusion of the public hear-
ing, to avoid years of project delay and millions of dollars in 
additional costs locally. 

sembly established a goal of 3,000 MW of energy storage 
and  created  the  Maryland  Energy  Storage  Program.  The 
new law requires the Public Service Commission to estab-
lish  a  competitive  procurement  program  by  July  1,  2024. 
The program will include energy storage credits and mar-
ket-based incentives. The law is expected to lead to $100 
million in energy cost savings for Marylanders and help re-
duce energy sector emissions by 90%.

Michigan adopts renewable energy siting reform and clean 
energy  legislation:  in  2023  the  Michigan  legislature  ap-
proved two important bills, signed by the governor. The first 
bill established state siting standards for renewable energy 
and battery energy storage that cannot be made more bur-
densome by local governments. Disputes between state law 
and local authorities will be resolved by the Public Service 
Commission. The second bill establishes a renewable ener-
gy standard for Michigan of 50% by 2030, 60% by 2035 and 
100% of clean energy by 2040. This bill increases the cap 
for distributed generation and creates a mandate for 2,500 
MW of battery energy storage.

Increase utility ownership of generation: because the Infla-
tion Reduction Act allows utilities to claim tax credits at the 
time of production, rather than depreciate them over the 
life of a project, a number of utilities have proposed legisla-
tion to codify a preference for development of new renew-
able energy and energy storage projects by utilities. Nevada 
has passed legislation that will allow NVEnergy to build most 
new renewable energy and energy storage projects. Puget 
Sound  Energy  in  the  state  of  Washington  has  pushed  for 
legislation  requiring  50%  of  all  new  generation  to  be  as-
signed to the utility. The bill failed to be approved this year.
In its plans for electric resources, the Public Service Com-
pany of Colorado (PSCo) had decided that more than 60% 
of next generation projects would be owned by PSCo. The 
Colorado  Public  Service  Commission  reduced  the  utility’s 
ownership of such projects to just over 50%.

Canada
On  March  28,  2023,  the  Canadian  government  unveiled  a 
budget that reinforces its ongoing commitment to accel-
erate the transition to a low-carbon economy. The budget 
contains a series of measures supporting the development 
of  renewable  energy  plants,  clean  hydrogen  plants  and 
electric  vehicle  charging  equipment  and  has  replenished 
existing  funds  to  support  investments.  The  budget  was 
passed on June 11, 2023.
Main developments:
•  Clean Hydrogen Investment Tax Credit (Hydrogen Cred-

it): 15-40%;

•  Clean Technology Investment Tax Credit (Cleantech ITC): 

15%;

Maryland approves major energy storage law: in April 2023, 
for the first time in state history, the Maryland General As-

•  Clean Electricity Investment Tax Credit (Electricity Cred-

it): 30%;

256 Integrated Annual Report 2023

•  Clean Technology Manufacturing Investment Tax Credit 

(Manufacturing Credit): 30%;

•  Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage Investment Tax 

Credit (CCUS Credit): 15-40%.

Most  investment  tax  credits  have  job  requirements  that 
must be met in order to obtain the full amount of the re-
spective credit. These job requirements fall into two cate-
gories:
•  prevailing wage requirement: requires workers to be paid 
at a level comparable to the relevant wage, with benefits 
and pension contributions;

•  apprenticeship  requirement:  requires  at  least  10%  of 
total working hours to be undertaken by registered ap-
prentices.

In November 2023, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister 
of Finance  presented a motion to introduce a bill entitled 
“An act to implement certain provisions of the fall econom-
ic  statement”  tabled  in  Parliament  on  November  21,  2023 
and  certain  provisions  of  the  budget  tabled  in  Parliament 
on March 28, 2023. With the presentation of the Ways and 
Means motion and the legislation to implement the fall eco-
nomic  statement  (FES),  Clean  Technology  Investment  Tax 
Credit (Cleantech ITC) labor requirements are now in effect. 
The Cleantech ITC is one of several amendments to the In-
come Tax Act (ITA) contained in the FES implementation act. 
The bill is currently at the reading and examination stage.

Developments in provincial policies
In May 2023, Alberta citizens re-elected the United Conser-
vative Party to form a governing majority. As Prime Minister 
Danielle Smith appoints ministers for relevant portfolios, re-
structures senior department officials and reprioritizes her 
government, the energy industry can expect a continuation 
of existing policies from the past four years. This includes 
the  continuation  of  the  regulation  on  technological  inno-
vation and the reduction of emissions, the carbon price for 
primary industry that allows the development of renewable 
energies,  as  well  as  the  finalization  of  the  phasing  out  of 
coal-fired power generation.
On August 2, 2023, Alberta’s Minister of Energy has issued 
an order to the Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC or Com-
mission)  to  block  the  processing  of  new  permits  for  the 
construction  of  new  utility-scale  renewable  energy  gen-
eration facilities until the Commission, the Alberta Electric 
System  Operator  (AESO)  and  the  Minister  of  Energy  were 
able to determine whether the continued development of 
renewable resources in Alberta was increasing pressure on 
electricity rates and compromising the reliability. 
Meetings and requests for information took place over the 
remainder of 2023. The AESO is also reviewing its current 
market structure for possible changes. The Premier of Al-
berta, a conservative, oil-producing province, told the Prime 
Minister  of  Canada  that  Alberta  will  not  seek  to  meet  the 

country’s  clean  energy  or  greenhouse  gas  emissions  re-
duction goals. Work on these issues will continue until 2024.

On  December  5,  2022,  the  Deviation  Settlement  Mecha-
nism and Related Matters Regulation (2022 DSM Regula-
tion) published by the Central Electricity Regulatory Com-
mission  (CERC)  and  replacing  the  2014  DSM  Regulation 
entered into force. 
The new regulation has a negative impact on Independent 
Power Producers (IPPs) with wind and solar plants. Basical-
ly, over-injection (i.e. injection into the grid in excess of the 
declared generation) will be compensated:
•  for PV/hybrid (wind + solar) plants, at the contractual rate 
for up to a 10% deviation and at 90% of the contractual 
rate for an over-injection of between 10% and 15%; 
•  for wind plants, at the contractual rate for up to a 15% 
deviation and at 90% of the contractual rate from 15% 
to 20%.

No  payment  will  be  made  for  an  over-injection  of  above 
20%. Compared with the previous version, the regulation 
increases  the  remuneration  percentage,  and  increases 
the  threshold  over  which  no  payment  is  made  from  10% 
to 20%. 
Terms also change for under-injections (generation below 
scheduled levels), with a reduction of the deviation band 
from  the  planned  amounts,  with  higher  penalties  com-
pared with 2014, breaking down as follows:
•  for PV/hybrid (wind + solar) plants, with under-injections 
of up to 15%, the IPP will pay the buyer the contract rate 
with no further penalty. For under-injections from 10% 
to 15%, the shortfall will be paid at 110% of the contract 
rate, while those above 15% will be paid at 150%; 

•  for wind plants, for under-injections up to 15%, the IPP 
will pay the buyer the contract rate with no further pen-
alty. For under-injections from 15% to 20%, the shortfall 
will  be  paid  at  110%  of  the  contract  rate,  while  those 
above 20% will be paid at 150%. 

The  new  DSM  Regulation  has  an  impact  on  revenue  due 
to  (i)  no  payment  of  over-injections  over  a  15%  deviation 
for PV/hybrid plants and over 20% for wind plants, (ii) the 
increase of deviation penalties in case of under-injections.

Morocco
The reform of Law 13.09, the key renewable energy law, ap-
proved in January 2023, permits entering into Power Pur-
chase  Agreements  (PPAs)  with  customers  connected  to 
the medium-voltage grid, effectively opening a new mar-
ket for Enel Green Power in the country. Until now it was 
possible to enter into PPAs only with end users connected 
to the high-voltage and very-high-voltage grids. The sec-
ondary  legislation  that  will  make  Law  13.09  enforceable 
has yet to be enacted but is expected to pass in 2024.

Rates  for  the  fifth  regulatory  period  (2016-2023)  are  gov-
erned  by  the  ARERA  Resolution  no.  654/2015/R/eel.  This 
period lasts eight years and is divided into two sub-periods 
of four years each (NPR1 for 2016-2019 and NPR2 for 2020-
2023).
With  regard  to  the  NPR2  period,  ARERA  published  Reso-
lution no. 568/2019/R/eel, with which it updated rates for 
transmission, distribution and metering services in force in 
the 2020-2023 period, publishing the new integrated texts.
The method for determining the WACC for the 2022-2027 
period was updated with Resolution no. 614/2021/R/com, 
establishing a value of 5.2% for electricity distribution and 
metering. The regulation provides for an update of the val-
ue for 2025-2027, as well as the possibility of a further an-
nual  updating  (in  2023  and  2024),  should  certain  financial 
indicators lead to a change in the WACC of at least 50 bps. 
With  Resolution  no.  654/2022/R/com,  ARERA  confirmed 
the  value  of  WACC  at  5.2%  in  2023,  as  the  conditions  to 
proceed with the update have not been met, while the value 
of WACC for 2024 was updated to 6% with Resolution no. 
556/2023/R/com.

As  for  distribution  and  metering  rates,  the  Authority  ap-
proved  the  definitive  reference  rates  for  2022,  calculated 
by taking into account the updated balance sheet data for 
2021  (Resolution  no.  154/2023/R/eel)  and  the  provisional 
reference rates for 2023 on the basis of the preliminary bal-
ance sheet data for 2022 (Resolution no. 206/2023/R/eel). 
The definitive reference rates for 2023 are expected to be 
published in 2024.

With  Resolution  no.  271/2021/R/com,  the  Authority  initi-
ated  a  procedure  to  introduce,  from  2024,  new  methods 
for recognizing the costs of infrastructure services (ROSS-
base - Adjustment for Expenditure and Service Objectives). 
As part of the ROSS-base mechanism, in 2023 the Author-
ity  published  Resolution  no.  163/2023/R/com,  with  which 
it approved the “Integrated Text of the criteria and general 
principles of the ROSS regulation” (TIROSS 2024-2031) for 
infrastructure services in the electricity and gas sectors, as 
well as Resolution no. 497/2023/R/com, with which it spec-
ified the application criteria, modifying the TIROSS. Finally, 
with Resolution no. 616/2023/R/eel it approved distribution 
and  metering  rates  for  the  2024-2027  period,  publishing 
the  new  integrated  texts  (TIT  -  provisions  for  delivery  of 
transmission and distribution services; TIME - provisions for 
delivery  metering  services;  and  TIC  -  economic  terms  for 
delivery of metering services).

During 2023, the Authority, implementing the government’s 
provisions,  progressively  reintroduced  the  general  system 

258 Integrated Annual Report 2023

charges  to  be  applied  to  customers  (in  the  1st  Quarter, 
they  were  applied  only  to  users  with  available  power  over 
16.5 kW; in the subsequent quarters they were applied to 
all electricity users). The Authority also took action during 
2023 with regard to social allowances, providing for, among 
other things, an update of the requirements for access to 
the benefits and specific strengthening measures to con-
tain the effects of the increase in energy bills.

With Resolutions no. 232/2022/R/eel and no. 712/2022/R/
eel, ARERA updated in 2022 the rate regulation for reactive 
energy  providing  for  the  entry  into  force  by  April  1,  2023 
of  charges  for  reactive  energy  injected  and  an  update  of 
the charges for reactive energy withdrawn for distributors 
as well. 
At the end of 2023, ARERA again updated the regulation, 
providing for a single fee for excessive withdrawals and in-
jections  of  reactive  energy  paid  by  MV  and  LV  customers 
from  2024.  It  also  modified  the  share  of  revenue  retained 
by distribution companies, which will be updated annually. 
ARERA has also introduced a mechanism that incentivizes 
distribution companies to install compensation systems for 
reactive energy injections to the National Electricity Trans-
mission Grid.
As regards service quality, with Resolution no. 646/2015/R/
eel and no. 566/2019/R/eel as amended, the Authority es-
tablished  output-based  regulation  for  electricity  distribu-
tion and metering services for the 2016-2023 period (TIQE 
2016-2023),  introducing  tools  to  bridge  gaps  in  quality  of 
service still existing between the various areas of the coun-
try  and  examine  certain  mechanisms  concerning  the  ef-
fects of climate change.

As from January 1, 2024, with Resolutions no. 617/2023/R/
eel  and  no.  614/2023/R/eel,  the  Authority  updated  the 
output-based incentive regulation of technical and com-
mercial service quality and network resilience.
In  particular,  with  Resolution  no.  617/2023/R/eel  and  the 
related annexes TIQD and TIQC, ARERA adopted improve-
ments that radically modified the twenty-year-old regula-
tory system, specifically in terms of continuity of distribu-
tion services and introducing an incentive mechanism for 
development measures.
With  Resolution  no.  614/2023/R/eel,  ARERA  defined  the 
regulation of resilience for the 2019-2024 period, govern-
ing the termination of the regulations in place since 2018, 
modifying  the  incentive  mechanism  for  resilience  inter-
ventions in the 2024 plan.

With  regard  to  relations  between  distributors  and  trad-
ers, on January 1, 2021 the new version of the Electricity 
Transport Grid Code came into force with Resolution no. 
261/2020/R/eel,  which,  due  to  the  reduction  in  the  time 

required to terminate transport contracts due to the de-
fault  of  sellers,  reduced  the  credit  exposure  of  distribu-
tors. Consequently, the value of guarantees that all sellers 
must  give  to  distributors  to  cover  the  transport  service 
provided  was  reduced  (passing  from  a  level  of  coverage 
ranging from 3 to 5 months of the trader’s turnover to a 
new range between 2 and 4 months).

With  Resolution  no.  119/2022/R/eel,  ARERA  introduced 
a  single  mechanism  for  distribution  companies  for  the 
reimbursement  of  system  general  charges  and  network 
charges not collected by defaulting sellers in order to unify 
and streamline the pre-existing mechanisms. 
More  specifically,  the  resolution  confirms  the  application 
of two deductibles for the recognition of credits relating 
to network charges. On the one hand, this is to serve as an 
incentive for an efficient management of the credit by the 
distributor and, on the other, to remove what has already 
been  compensated  by  the  rate  system.  The  resolution 
provides  for  requests  for  reimbursement  to  be  made  on 
an annual basis and liquidated in the same year. 

Energy efficiency – White certificates
The decree of the Ministry for the Ecological Transition of 
May 21, 2021 amended the ministerial decree of January 11, 
2017 as already amended by the decree of the Ministry for 
Economic Development of May 10, 2018. The measure set 
the national quantitative targets for electricity and gas dis-
tribution  companies  for  the  years  2021-2024.  The  decree 
also  updated  the  methods  for  distribution  companies  to 
meet the obligation and for reimbursing the related costs.

2016  for  several  distribution  companies,  and  approving 
the remuneration of electricity distribution companies for 
2017, 2018 and 2019. This ministerial order sets the value 
of the remuneration for the years 2017 to 2019, taking into 
account the previous reports of the CNMC.   
Furthermore,  on  December  16,  2022,  CNMC  began  pre-
paring  its  proposed  resolution  setting  the  remuneration 
for 2020.

Closed electricity distribution grids
On April 26, 2023, Royal Decree 314/2023 of April 25 was 
published.  It  regulates  the  conditions  and  requirements 
for  closed  electricity  distribution  grids  and  their  owners, 
as well as the administrative authorization procedure and 
the  circumstances  for  revocation  of  that  authorization. 
The industrial owners of the closed grid will have to build it 
or buy it from a distribution company, and will be responsi-
ble for managing it, investing in its maintenance and billing 
rates, charges and other costs to the consumers connect-
ed to it, while the traders selling electricity to the members 
of the closed grid will only bill for the power consumed.

Chile
The  Chilean  electricity  sector  is  governed  by  the  Gener-
al Electricity Service Act 20.018, contained in Decree 1 of 
1982 issued by the Ministry of Mines, subsequently updat-
ed by the Ministry of Economy with Decree 4 of 2006 as 
amended  (“Ley  Eléctrica”)  and  its  corresponding  imple-
menting regulation, contained in Decree 327 of 1998.

Distribution rates for 2020-2024

Rate revisions
With  Resolution  no.  240/2023,  the  regulator  ENRE  ap-
proved the new rates to be applied as from April 1, 2023. 
In particular, it:
•  incorporates the increase in the FNEE envisaged by SE 
Resolution  no.  719/22  ($512/MWh  from  April  1,  2023) 
and  the  first  increase  in  the  VAD  (Distribution  Value 
Added)  or  CPD  (Own  Cost  of  Distribution)  granted  to 
Edesur of 107.83%;

•  publishes the new CPD or VAD, which will take effect as 
from  June  1,  2023  with  an  additional  74%  increase  to 
apply in a future rate chart;

•  establishes the new CEN and CESMC values to be ap-
plied starting from April 1, 2023, corresponding to se-
mester 54 (March 2023 - August 2023). 

The average distributor rate is set at about 13,706 $/kWh 
(+23%).

Service quality of electricity distribution
Following  the  events  occurring  from  February  10,  2023, 
which caused the interruption of low- and medium-volt-
age supply to a large number of customers, ENRE called 
for a Comprehensive Technical Audit to determine the ca-
pacity  and  reliability  of  the  public  electricity  distribution 
service and monitor service quality.
The teams conducted a process audit to verify the consis-
tency of technological availability, materials, supplies and 
human resources to execute the substantive management 
processes consisting of primary assistance, claims, oper-
ation, corrective and preventive maintenance, investment 
planning,  loss  management,  internal  cost  controls  and 
management processes.

Investment program for the distribution grid
On  August  7,  2023  a  memorandum  was  signed  between 
the Ministry of Energy and Edesur, with the simultaneous 
presence,  notification  and  signature  of  ENRE,  aimed  at 
ensuring  that  the  State  will  provide  the  necessary  funds 
for  the  construction  work  plan  prepared  by  Edesur,  with 
the  aim  of  improving  the  quality  of  the  service,  in  addi-
tion  to  adopting  a  time  framework  suitable  for  the  exe-
cution of the works, considering the impact on the public 
service  deriving  from  the  increase  in  electricity  demand 
and taking into account the urgent need to implement the 
cited work plan to reduce service interruptions caused by 
the  high  demand  for  electricity  and  overloading  of  grids 
during periods of record high temperatures last summer. 
Furthermore, seeking to ease the financial burden on us-
ers,  on  October  10,  2023  the  Ministry  of  Energy  issued 
Resolution  no.  828,  which  allows  Edesur  and  Edenor  to 
transform the penalties to be paid to the State into a “Pro-
gram of works, jobs and/or actions to meet the challeng-
es of next summer”, provided they are in compliance with 
their  obligations  towards  CAMMESA.  In  compliance  with 
the  legislation,  on  October  26,  2023,  with  Ger  Gen  note 
no. 127/2023, the Program was presented to the Ministry 
of Energy.

Memorandum of understanding for “special obligation 
settlement regime” 
On December 29, 2022, addressing the “special obligation 
settlement  regime”  and  the  “special  receivables  regime” 
established  with  Article  87  of  Law  27.591,  extended  with 
the PEN 88/2022 decree, a memorandum of understand-
ing was signed between the Ministry of Energy and ENRE, 
on the one hand, and Edesur, on the other, with CAMMESA, 
also referred to in the same instrument as a notified entity. 

260 Integrated Annual Report 2023

This agreement provided for: (a) the recognition by Edesur 
of the liability in respect of CAMMESA and the MEM (whole-
sale  electricity  market);  (b)  the  recognition  of  a  receivable 
due to Edesur from the Ministry of Energy, applicable to the 
partial compensation of the recognized liability; and (c) the 
determination of a payment plan for the liability referred to 
in point (a) after the compensation referred to in point (b), 
the amount of which is within the limits of that attributed by 
ENRE in the recomposition of the VAD. Furthermore, Edesur 
has undertaken to apply an amount equivalent to a part of 
the recognized receivable, to settle the liabilities of default-
ing users benefitting from demand support policies, as well 
as  to submit reporting on the investment plan associated 
with  the  mechanism  envisaged  under  SE  Resolution  no. 
371/2021 to encourage the investment to increase energy 
efficiency and improve the quality of electricity distribution.
On April 25, 2023, the Ministry of Energy issued a note ad-
dressed to CAMMESA, instructing it to adopt the necessary 
measures to apply the agreement signed on December 29, 
2022 within the framework of the “special obligation settle-
ment regime” concerning the implementation of a payment 
plan for Edesur’s residual liability in respect of that compa-
ny,  in  accordance  with  the  scope  of  the  aforementioned 
agreement.  The  foregoing  was  based  on  the  calculation 
report submitted by CAMMESA to the Ministry of Energy on 
April 18, 2023 and the agreement issued by Edesur on April 
20, 2023.
Regarding  the  “Acta  Acuerdo  Régimen  Especial  de  Obli-
gaciones” (Article 87 of Law 27.591 of the National General 
Budget for 2021), on May 18, 2023, within the scope of the 
memorandum of understanding of December 29, 2022, the 
payment plan with CAMMESA was implemented. The pay-
ment plan provides for 96 increasing monthly installments 
and an interest rate equivalent to 50% of that in force in the 
MEM. The first installment was paid on September 25, 2023.
Payment is subject to the attribution by ENRE of the recom-
position of the VAD or the CPD during the transitional rate 
adjustment process.

With regard to the repayment of this financing, the agree-
ments  signed  with  the  Ministry  of  Energy  establish  that 
ENRE must include the necessary resources in the frame-
work of the Comprehensive Rate Review (RTI) process in a 
timely manner. For its part, the Ministry of Energy shall es-
tablish term and conditions no earlier than 180 days from 
the  entry  into  force  of  the  rate  tables  resulting  from  the 
aforementioned  RTI,  expressly  addressing  that  financing, 
considering an interest rate equivalent to the average rate 
paid by CAMMESA on its financial resources.

To guarantee the faithful fulfillment of each of the obliga-
tions assumed by Edesur with this contract and the repay-
ment of the financing, the company assigns and transfers 
to CAMMESA receivables of any sort that it may claim within 
the MEM. This transfer as security will remain in force until 
the total extinguishment of the financing.

In view of the disparity between the energy costs recog-
nized in rates and the real costs outside the control of the 
distributor,  in  January  2015,  the  regulator  ANEEL  started 
the  implementation  of  the  Tariff  Flags  system  which  ap-
plies an additional monthly component to the rate charged 
to consumers, provided that the marginal system cost is 
greater than the standard regulatory cost.

Rate revision for Enel Distribuição Rio de Janeiro
On October 31, 2023, ANEEL approved the extraordinary 
tariff review (ETR) of Enel Distribuição Rio de Janeiro due 
to  the  pandemic  and  the  law  prohibiting  electricity  cuts. 
The  effects  of  the  ETR,  pursuant  to  ANEEL  Order  no. 
4.089/2023, are considered an interest component in the 
company’s upcoming rate review on March 15, 2024.

Colombia
The  Energy  and  Gas  Regulatory  Commission  (CREG)  de-
fines the method of remuneration of the distribution grid. 
The distribution rates are determined every five years and 
are  updated  monthly  on  the  basis  of  the  Producer  Price 
Index (IPP). 

Rate revisions
With Resolution no. 122 of 2020, CREG set the distribution 
rates for Codensa for the 2018-2023 period.

In March 2023, CREG published Resolution no. 101 015 of 
2023,  to  extend  the  period  of  application  of  the  transi-
tional measures to defer the payment of sales companies 
to  generation,  transmission  and  distribution  companies. 
The provision allows the deferral of payment for up to 18 
months and applies until April 30, 2024.

Peru
The  main  laws  governing  the  Peruvian  electricity  market 
are  the  Electricity  Concessions  Act  (Decree  Law  25844) 
and its regulations and the Efficient Electricity Generation 
Act (Law 28832).

Regulatory and rate issues

261

The  Electricity  Concessions  Act  divides  the  Peruvian 
electricity  sector  into  three  large  segments:  generation, 
transmission  and  distribution,  with  no  company  permit-
ted to participate in more than one segment. The Peruvian 
electricity system consists of the National Interconnected 
Electricity System (SEIN), as well as some isolated electric-
ity systems.

Elimination of price protection
The current regulatory framework governing the process 
of  eliminating  regulated  prices  in  the  electricity  sector 
(Law  124/2017  –  the  Competition  Act  –  as  most  recent-
ly  amended  by  Decree  Law  152/2021  implementing  the 
NRRP, ratified with Law 233/2021) provides for a staggered 
postponement of the removal of price protection: to Jan-
uary  1,  2021  for  small  businesses,  to  January  1,  2023  for 
micro-enterprises and to January 2024 for domestic cus-
tomer auctions. 

The  ministerial  decrees  implementing  the  Competition 
Act  and  ARERA  Resolutions  no.  491/2020/R/eel  and  no. 
208/2022/R/eel  have  implemented  the  elimination  of 
price  protection  for  small  businesses  and  micro-busi-
nesses (and non-residential customers with a committed 
capacity of less than 15 kW), making provision for the ac-
tivation  of  specific  last  resort  services  (“graduated  safe-
guard services”) provided by operators awarded the con-
cession in a tender for customers who do not have chosen 
a free-market supplier.
The  graduated  safeguard  service  for  small  businesses 
lasts three years, will expire on June 30, 2024 and will be 
reassigned with new auctions.
For  micro-enterprises,  the  service  will  be  provided  until 
March 31, 2027. At the end of the first service period, sup-
plies still served under graduated protection will switch to 
the most economically advantageous free-market offer of 
the same operator.
For  non-residential  micro-enterprise  customers  with  a 
committed capacity of less than 15 kW, ARERA, due to the 
postponement  to  April  1,  2023  for  technical  reasons  of 
the start date of the last resort service dedicated to them, 
established that the financial terms and conditions of the 
enhanced  protection  service  will  continue  to  apply  until 
March 31, 2023 for customers already served.

With  regard  to  residential  customers,  Legislative  De-
cree  210/2021  has  identified  two  categories  for  which 
the  elimination  of  price  protections  will  involve  different 

In  Peru,  the  process  for  determining  distribution  rates 
takes place every four years and is referred to as the “Dis-
tribution Value Added Fixing” (VAD). The last approved rate 
cycle  is  valid  for  the  2022-2026  period,  with  new  VAD  in 
force as from November 1, 2022.

timeframes  and  methods:  “vulnerable”  customers  (such 
as customers over 75 years of age, recipients of a social 
allowance due to economic or physical hardship, individu-
als with disabilities pursuant to Law 104/1992, users locat-
ed  in  emergency  homes  following  natural  disasters)  and 
“non-vulnerable” customers.
Decree  169  of  May  18,  2023  of  the  MASE  regulated  the 
assignment  through  competitive  procedures  carried  out 
on a territorial basis for the graduated safeguard service 
for non-vulnerable residential customers, setting the mar-
ket  share  awardable  to  each  operator  at  30%.  The  same 
decree established that, upon expiry of the service assign-
ment  period  scheduled  for  31  March  2027,  supplies  will 
switch to the most economically advantageous free-mar-
ket offer with the same operator.
ARERA Resolution no. 580/2023/R/eel, implementing the 
Decree  Law  181/2023  (the  “Energy  Decree”),  scheduled 
the  tenders  for  January  10,  2024.  With  the  earlier  Reso-
lution no. 362/2023/R/eel as amended, ARERA regulated 
the methods for the award and delivery of graduated safe-
guard services in which customers identified as non-vul-
nerable will be supplied with residential supplies. Pursuant 
to  Resolution  no.  600/2023/R/eel,  due  to  the  postpone-
ment  of  the  auctions  provided  for  in  the  Energy  Decree, 
the  service  will  be  provided  starting  from  July  1,  2024  by 
the sellers awarded the tender. The final award is expected 
by February 6, 2024. Until July 1, 2024, non-vulnerable res-
idential customers will continue to be served by the oper-
ator of the enhanced protection service.

As  regards  vulnerable  domestic  customers,  the  Energy 
Decree refers to a provision of the Authority the definition 
of the methods for the exit of customers from the great-
er  protection  through  the  assignment  of  a  “vulnerability 
service” by tender. Pending this provision, vulnerable cus-
tomers will continue to be served by the current operator 
of the enhanced protection service.

As  regards  the  gas  sector,  the  elimination  of  price  pro-
tections starting from January 2024 is governed by ARE-
RA Resolution no. 100/2023/R/gas, which establishes that 
non-vulnerable residential customers and condominiums 

262 Integrated Annual Report 2023

who have not selected a free-market offer shall move to 
the free market with their seller in accordance with rules 
defined  by  ARERA.  Customers  identified  as  vulnerable 
pursuant to Decree Law 115/2022 (the Second Aid Decree) 
will continue to be served under the economic and con-
tractual conditions specified by ARERA for the vulnerabil-
ity protection service.

With regard to the elimination of price safeguards for small 
firms in the electricity sector, in March 2021, Enel Energia 
and Servizio Elettrico Nazionale (together with Enel Italia) 
appealed the decree of the Ministry for Economic Devel-
opment  implementing  the  Competition  Act  before  the 
Lazio Regional Administrative Court, contesting the impo-
sition of the antitrust cap at 35% and the lack of provisions 
for  the  reimbursement  of  the  residual  costs  of  Servizio 
Elettrico  Nazionale  following  the  loss  of  customers.  With 
regard to the latter point, in March 2021, Servizio Elettrico 
Nazionale  and  Enel  Italia  had  also  challenged  Resolution 
no.  491/2020/R/eel  with  an  appeal  before  the  Lombardy 
Regional Administrative Court. At the moment, no hearing 
has yet been set for these appeals.
In July 2022, Enel Energia and Servizio Elettrico Nazionale, 
basing  their  challenges  on  the  same  grounds,  appealed 
Resolution  no.  208/2022/R/eel,  relating  to  micro-enter-
prises  and  non-residential  customers  with  a  committed 
capacity of less than 15 kW, before the Lombardy Region-
al Administrative Court; in November 2022, they also ap-
pealed before the Lazio Regional Administrative Court the 
decree of the Ministry of the Ecological Transition setting 
out  how  graduated  safeguard  services  for  micro-enter-
prises are to be implemented. 
With Resolutions no. 136/2023/R/eel and no. 151/2023/R/
eel, ARERA established, for 2023, the procedures for ac-
cessing  the  customer  exit  compensation  mechanism 
pursuant  to  Article  20  of  the  Integrated  Provisions  Gov-
erning Last-Resort Services (TIV). With an appeal filed on 
May  29,  2023,  Servizio  Elettrico  Nazionale  and  Enel  Italia 
challenged these provisions before the Lombardy Region-
al Administrative Court through an appeal with additional 
evidence to the main proceedings already brought against 
Resolution no. 208/2022/R/eel.
With  regard  to  the  elimination  of  price  safeguards  for 
non-vulnerable  residential  customers,  in  July  2023,  Enel 
Energia  and  Servizio  Elettrico  Nazionale  (together  with 
Enel Italia) appealed the Ministry of the Environment and 
Energy  Security  (MASE)  Decree  169  of  May  18,  2023  be-
fore  the  Lazio  Regional  Administrative  Court,  contesting 
the  imposition  of  the  antitrust  cap  at  30%  and  the  lack 
of provisions for the reimbursement of the residual costs 
of  Servizio  Elettrico  Nazionale  following  the  loss  of  cus-
tomers.  Likewise,  in  October  2023,  the  two  companies 
(together with Enel Italia) appealed ARERA Resolution no. 

362/2023/R/eel of August 3, 2023, concerning the regu-
lation of the graduated safeguard services for non-vulner-
able domestic customers, before the Lombardy Regional 
Administrative  Court,  raising  the  objections  already  for-
mulated against the MASE ministerial decree.
In addition, with an appeal filed in January 2024, Servizio 
Elettrico  Nazionale  (together  with  Enel  Italia)  challenged 
ARERA Resolutions no. 549/2023/R/eel, no. 580/2023/R/
eel and no. 600/2023/R/eel completing the regulation re-
ferred to in Resolution no. 362/2023/R/eel, again contest-
ing the failure to reimburse the residual costs following the 
loss of customers.
As part of the bill ratifying Decree Law 181/2023 (the “En-
ergy  Decree”),  which  was  approved  on  January  31,  2024, 
a  provision  allowing  operators  of  the  enhanced  protec-
tion  service  to  recover  otherwise  non-recoverable  costs 
directly  attributable  to  the  service  incurred  since  April  1, 
2023 has been introduced. ARERA shall issue a resolution 
to be adopted within 90 days from the date of entry into 
force  of  the  law  ratifying  the  decree  to  govern  the  time 
limits and methods for submitting the report necessary to 
certify the aforementioned costs.

Electricity
With Resolution no. 146/2022/R/eel, ARERA updated, with 
effect from April 1, 2022, the rate component covering the 
marketing costs of the operators of the enhanced protec-
tion service (RCV). The  resolution also  updates  the levels 
of  the  fee  for  covering  electricity  marketing  costs  (PCV), 
which represents the reference price for sellers on the free 
market.  With  Resolution  no.  136/2023/R/eel,  ARERA  up-
dated, with effect from April 1, 2023, the RCV component 
and  the  related  PCV  compensation  solely  for  residential 
customers  enrolled  in  the  enhanced  protection  service. 
With Resolution no. 600/2023/R/eel, ARERA provided for 
the update of the RCV by March 2024 to take account of 
adjustments to the WACC of infrastructure services. The 
RCV and PCV for vulnerable customers who will be served 
by the enhanced safeguard operator will be determined by 
the end of June 2024.

The  TIV  envisages  specific  equalization  mechanisms  for 
operators  of  the  enhanced  protection  service,  such  as  a 
mechanism that makes it possible to regulate any imbal-
ances in the costs incurred by the operator for the supply 
of electricity.
To  cover  the  deficit  generated  by  the  extraordinary  in-
crease in energy provisioning costs in 2022, ARERA Res-
olution no. 463/2022/R/eel also provided that, by the end 
of  2022,  the  Energy  and  Environmental  Services  Fund 
would disburse an advance on 2022 equalization balanc-
es to RCV operators. Resolutions no. 558/2022/R/eel, no. 
743/2022/R/eel and no. 135/2023/R/eel contain the nec-

essary  implementing  measures  concerning  the  calcula-
tion  and  settlement  of  that  advance  and  its  subsequent 
restitution in 2023.

With  regard  to  settlement  mechanisms  for  end  users  in 
arrears in the electricity sector, in Article 18 of the TIV for 
2023  the  Authority  governs  the  compensation  mecha-
nism  for  the  amounts  not  collected  by  operators  of  the 
enhanced  protection  service  in  respect  of  fraudulent 
withdrawals of power. 
With  Resolution  no.  32/2021/R/eel,  the  Authority  estab-
lished  a  mechanism  to  reimburse  arrears  relating  to  the 
general  system  charges  paid  by  the  sales  companies  on 
the free and safeguard markets to distribution companies 
but not collected from end users (for the safeguard mar-
ket, this only applies to customers that can be disconnect-
ed).
For customers who cannot be disconnected on the safe-
guard  market,  the  mechanism  for  reimbursing  non-re-
coverable charges is governed by Article 50 of the TIV for 
2023.

Gas
With Resolution no.147/2022/R/gas the levels of the QVD 
component were updated with effect from April 1, 2022. 
The  levels  were  subsequently  updated,  with  effect  from 
April  1,  2023,  with  Resolution  no.  137/2023/R/gas.  They 
have  been  determined  so  as  to  take  account  of  the  ef-
fects associated with the duration – less than a year – of 
the period remaining at the end of the termination of the 
protection service, which is expected to start from January 
2024. This component, to be applied as from January 2024 
to vulnerable customers, will be subsequently updated (for 
at least the first year of application) with similar but simpli-
fied criteria compared with the current system by the end 
of March of each year for the following 12 months, pend-
ing  the  acquisition  of  detailed  data  on  the  cost  of  sales 
associated with vulnerable customers.
With regard to reimbursement mechanisms for end users 
in  arrears  in  the  gas  sector,  in  Articles  31-quinquies  and 
37.1 letter b) of the TIVG (Integrated Retail Gas Sales Code), 
ARERA regulates specific mechanisms for the reimburse-
ment of arrears for providers of the last resort service and 
the default service on distribution grids.

Energy efficiency
Law  18/2014  of  October  15  containing  urgent  measures 
for  growth,  competitiveness  and  efficiency  created  the 
National Energy Efficiency Fund to achieve energy efficien-
cy objectives.
On March 30, 2023, Order TED/296/2023 of March 27 was 
published,  establishing  the  contribution  to  the  National 

Energy Efficiency Fund for 2023, amounting to €49 million 
for Endesa.
Endesa  is  expected  to  provide  a  contribution  to  the  Na-
tional Energy Efficiency Fund in the amount of €99 million 
in  2024,  of  which  it  must  contribute  at  least  €35  million 
(35.0% of the amount). It can satisfy the rest of its obliga-
tion by submitting energy efficiency certificates (EEC).

Consumer protection measures: Bono Social
Following the publication of Royal Decree Law 8/2023 of 
December  27,  in  Spain’s  Official  Journal,  adopting  mea-
sures  for  the  economic  and  social  consequences  of  the 
wars  in  Ukraine  and  the  Middle  East,  and  to  alleviate  the 
impact  of  drought,  several  measures  to  protect  vulner-
able  consumers  already  extended  by  Royal  Decree  Law 
20/2022 of December 27 were further extended until June 
30, 2024, including: 
•  the  increase  in  the  discounts  of  the  electricity  social 
bonus from 25% to 65% for vulnerable consumers, and 
from 40% to 80% for severely vulnerable consumers;
•  a  discount  of  40%  for  the  same  period,  for  working 
households  covered  by  the  voluntary  price  for  small 
consumers  (PVPC)  with  income  between  1.5  and  2 
times the Public Index of Multiple Purpose Income (IP-
REM), increased by 0.3 for each additional adult mem-
ber and 0.5 for each additional minor member.

On January 21, 2023, the Order TED/81/2023 of January 27 
was published, approving the distribution of the amounts 
to be financed for the Bono Social allowance for 2023. The 
order  establishes  the  different  unit  values  that  must  be 
paid by those obliged to finance these costs.

Consumer protection measures: guarantee of 
electricity services
Royal  Decree  Law  8/2023  of  December  28,  further  ex-
tends the prohibition of suspending electricity, water and 
gas supplies to vulnerable consumers, severely vulnerable 
consumers and customers at risk of social exclusion un-
til June 30, 2024. The Minimum Viable Supply regime will 
then come into force, whereby a vulnerable customer can-
not be excluded for non-payment during the four-month 
payment period and an additional six-month grace period.

Consumer protection measures: tax measures
Royal  Decree  Law  8/2023 of  December  28,  has  changed 
tax rates: it increases VAT from 5% to 10% for all of 2024 for 
consumers whose contracted power supply is less than or 
equal  to  10  kW  (if  the  average  daily  market  price  of  the 
previous month is less than €45/MWh, the “normal” VAT of 
21% is applied) or who are beneficiaries of the Bono Social 
as severely vulnerable consumers.
Likewise,  the  special  tax  on  electricity  will  rise  from  the 
previous  0.5%  to  2.5%  in  the  1st  Quarter  of  2024,  and 
3.8%  in  the  2nd  Quarter  of  2024.  As  for  the  tax  on  the 
value of electricity production, which is 7% but has been 

264 Integrated Annual Report 2023

suspended, a rate of 3.5% will apply in the 1st Quarter of 
2024, 5.25% in the 2nd Quarter of 2024 and 7% thereaf-
ter. The electricity system will be compensated for the de-
cline in receipts within the limit of the amount necessary 
to  achieve  balance  between  revenue  and  expenditure  in 
respect of those charges.

Moreover,  the  VAT  rate  applicable  to  deliveries,  imports 
and intra-community purchases of natural gas rises from 
5% to 10% until March 31, 2024.

Consumer protection measures: reduction 
of volatility of voluntary price for small 
consumers (PVPC)
On June 14, 2023 Royal Decree 446/2023 of June 31 was 
published. It modifies, with effect as from January 1, 2024, 
Royal Decree 216/2014 of March 28, regarding the calcu-
lation method for determining the voluntary price for small 
consumers  (PVPC),  the  salient  aspects  which  are  as  fol-
lows:
•  PVPC will apply to residential consumers and micro-en-
terprises  with  a  contracted  power  supply  equal  to  or 
less than 10 kW;

•  the  cost  of  energy  will  be  partially  indexed  to  the  for-
ward markets, incorporating a basket of forward prod-
ucts on the OMIP, which will be phased in gradually at 
a  weight  of  25%  in  2024,  40%  in  2025  and  55%  from 
2026. The remaining portion will be determined by the 
spot  price. The forward market portion will be divided 
between the monthly (10%), quarterly (36%) and annual 
(54%) products;

•  the  reference  supplier  will  be  reimbursed,  as  a  com-
ponent  of  the  PVPC,  the  cost  of  financing  the  Bono 
Social scheme established annually in the correspond-
ing order, together with an additional payment for the 
recovery of amounts incurred under Royal Decree Law 
6/2022 of March 29.

This royal decree also modifies certain regulatory aspects 
of generation in non-peninsular territories.

Consumer protection measures: electricity-
intensive customers
Royal Decree 444/2023 of June 13, published on June 14, 
2023,  amends  the  Charter  of  Electricity-Intensive  Con-
sumers  approved  in  2020.  The  amendment  expands  the 
catalogue  of  eligible  activities  and  reduces  certain  re-

quirements, thereby expanding the number of beneficia-
ries. It also updates the maximum amount of aid to offset 
the cost associated with the specific remuneration regime 
for renewable energy and the cost of non-mainland elec-
tricity systems included in charges, from 85% for all activ-
ities to: 85% for sectors at significant risk; 75% for sectors 
at risk (and up to 85% if they can demonstrate that 50% 
of consumption comes from fossil fuel sources and have 
entered into forward contracts for 10% of consumption or 
5%  of  consumption  with  self-consumption  from  renew-
able  sources);  or  a  higher  percentage  for  especially  vul-
nerable  plants  (i.e.,  when  the  cost  of  electricity  exceeds 
certain gross value added thresholds). However, in no case 
may charges borne by beneficiaries be less than or equal 
to €0.5/MWh.

Rest of the World

Free market 
In  all  countries,  distribution  companies  can  supply  elec-
tricity  to  their  customers  on  a  regulated  basis,  but  may 
also  do  so  under  free-market  conditions  if  customers 
exceed  particular  limits.  The  limits  of  the  free  market  by 
country are as follows:

Argentina

Brazil

Colombia

>100 kW or 55 MWh-month

Not applicable(2)

>100 kW

>100 kW

>200 kW(3)

>500 kW

(1)  The >500 kW limit applies if the electricity consumed is generated us-
ing renewable resources, which are subsidized by the government.
In  Costa  Rica  the  only  electricity  purchaser  is  ICE,  accordingly,  the 
concept of free-market customer does not exist.

(2) 

(3)  DS 018-2016-EM established that:

• the  demand  of  customers  who  can  choose  between  the  regulated 
market and the free market (those with a capacity between 200 and 
2,500 kW) is measured for each supply point;
• customers whose capacity per supply point is greater than 2,500 kW 
are free-market customers.

OUTLOOK

In November 2023, the Group presented its new Strategic 
Plan for 2024-2026, based on three pillars:
•  profitability,  flexibility  and  resilience  through  selective 
capital allocation, aimed at optimizing the Enel Group’s 
risk/return profile; 

•  effectiveness and efficiency as drivers of the Group’s op-
erations, based on process simplification, a leaner orga-
nization focused on core geographies, and streamlined 
costs;

•  financial and environmental sustainability to pursue value 
creation in addressing the challenges of climate change.

For the three-year period 2024-2026, the Group mapped 
out a total gross investment plan of €35.8 billion: 
•  around  €18.6  billion  in  Grids,  focusing  on  improving 
quality,  resilience  and  digitalization,  and  encouraging 
new connections;

•  around  €12.1  billion  in  Renewables,  particularly  on  on-
shore wind, solar and battery storage, also leveraging on 
practices as repowering plants; 

•  around €3 billion in Customer experience, with an active 
management of the customer base through multi-play 
bundled offers, including goods and services in an inte-
grated portfolio available through a single touchpoint for 
the customer.

As  a  result  of  the  strategic  actions  described  above,  the 
Enel Group’s ordinary EBITDA is expected to increase to be-
tween €23.6 billion and €24.3 billion in 2026, while Group 
net  ordinary  income  is  expected  to  increase  to  between 
€7.1 billion and €7.3 billion.

Management actions made it possible to significantly improve the 
generation of cash flows from operating activities, equal to about 
€14.6 billion, an increase of about €6.0 billion compared with 2022 
(about +69.0%). 

	● Revenues at €95,565 million (€140,517 million in 2022, -32%)

The change is mainly attributable to lower average sales prices in 
an environment characterized by the progressive normalization of 
the energy sector compared with 2022, as well as to changes in the 
consolidation scope.

	● Climate change 

All Group evaluation processes take account of the long-term 
impacts of climate change.

NOTES TO THE 
CONSOLIDATED 
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Basis of presentation

1. Form and content of the consolidated financial statements 

Enel SpA has its registered office in Viale Regina Margherita 
137, Rome, Italy, and since 1999 has been listed on the Milan 
stock exchange. 
There were no changes in the company name in 2023.
Enel  is  an  energy  multinational  and  is  one  of  the  world’s 
leading integrated operators in the electricity and gas in-
dustries, with a special focus on Europe and Latin America.
The  consolidated  financial  statements  of  the  Group  as  at 
and for the year ended December 31, 2023 comprise the 
financial statements of Enel SpA, its subsidiaries and Group 
holdings  in  associates  and  joint  ventures,  as  well  as  the 
Group’s share of the assets, liabilities, costs and revenue of 
joint operations (“the Group”).
A  list  of  the  subsidiaries,  associates,  joint  operations  and 
joint  ventures  included  in  the  consolidation  scope  is  at-
tached.
These  consolidated  financial  statements  were  approved 
and authorized for publication by the Board of Directors on 
March 21, 2024.
These consolidated financial statements have been audited 
by KPMG SpA. 

Basis of presentation

The consolidated financial statements as at and for the year 
ended  December  31,  2023  have  been  prepared  in  accor-
dance with international accounting standards (Internation-
al  Accounting  Standards  -  IAS  and  International  Financial 
Reporting Standards - IFRS) issued by the International Ac-
counting Standards Board (IASB), the interpretations of the 
IFRS  Interpretations  Committee  (IFRSIC)  and  the  Standing 
Interpretations Committee (SIC), recognized in the Europe-
an Union pursuant to Regulation (EC) no. 1606/2002 and in 
effect as of the close of the year. All of these standards and 
interpretations are hereinafter referred to as the “IFRS-EU”. 
The consolidated financial statements have also been pre-
pared in conformity with measures issued in implementa-
tion  of  Article  9,  paragraph  3,  of  Legislative  Decree  38  of 

February 28, 2005.
The consolidated financial statements consist of the con-
solidated income statement, the statement of consolidated 
comprehensive income, the statement of consolidated fi-
nancial position, the statement of changes in consolidated 
equity  and  the  consolidated  statement  of  cash  flows  and 
the related notes.
The  assets  and  liabilities  recognized  in  the  statement  of 
financial  position  are  classified  on  a  “current/non-current 
basis”,  with  separate  reporting  of  assets  held  for  sale  and 
liabilities included in disposal groups held for sale. Current 
assets, which include cash and cash equivalents, are assets 
that are intended to be realized, sold or consumed during 
the normal operating cycle of the Group; current liabilities 
are liabilities that are expected to be settled during the nor-
mal operating cycle of the Group.
The  income  statement  classifies  costs  on  the  basis  of 
their  nature,  with  separate  reporting  of  profit/(loss)  from 
continuing  operations  and  profit/(loss)  from  discontinued 
operations  attributable  to  owners  of  the  Parent  and  to 
non-controlling interests.
The consolidated cash flow statement is prepared using the 
indirect method, with separate reporting of any cash flows 
by operating, investing and financing activities associated 
with discontinued operations.

In particular, although the Group does not diverge from the 
provisions of IAS 7 in the classification of items:
•  cash  flows  from  operating  activities  report  cash  flows 
from core operations, interest on loans granted and ob-
tained  and  dividends  received  from  associates  or  joint 
ventures;

•  investing  activities  comprise  investments  in  property, 
plant and equipment and intangible assets and dispos-
als of such assets and contract assets related to service 
concession arrangements. They include, also, the effects 
of  business  combinations  in  which  the  Group  acquires 
or loses control of companies, as well as other minor in-
vestments;

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

281

•  cash  flows  from  financing  activities  include  cash  flows 
generated  by  liability  management  transactions  and 
leases, dividends and interim dividends paid to owners of 
the Parent and non-controlling interests and the effects 
of transactions in non-controlling interests that do not 
change the status of control of the companies involved;
•  a separate item is used to report the impact of exchange 
rates on cash and cash equivalents and their impact on 
profit or loss is eliminated in full in order to neutralize the 
effect on cash flows from operating activities.

For  more  information  on  cash  flows  as  reported  in  the 
statement of cash flows, please see note 46 “Cash flows”.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared 
on a going concern basis using the cost method, with the 
exception  of  items  measured  at  fair  value  in  accordance 

2. Accounting policies

2.1 Use of estimates and management 
judgment

Preparing the consolidated financial statements under IF-
RS-EU requires management to take decisions and make 
estimates and assumptions that may impact the carrying 
amount of revenue, costs, assets and liabilities and the re-
lated disclosures concerning the items involved as well as 
contingent assets and liabilities. The estimates and man-
agement’s  judgments  are  based  on  previous  experience 
and  other  factors  considered  reasonable  in  the  circum-
stances.  They  are  formulated  when  the  carrying  amount 
of assets and liabilities is not easily determined from other 
sources. The actual results may therefore differ from these 
estimates. The estimates and assumptions are periodical-
ly  revised  and  the  effects  of  any  changes  are  reflected 
through profit or loss if they only involve that period. If the 
revision involves both the current and future periods, the 
change is recognized in the period in which the revision is 
made and in the related future periods.
In  order  to  enhance  understanding  of  the  consolidated 
financial  statements,  the  following  sections  examine  the 
main items affected by the use of estimates and the cases 
that  reflect  management  judgments  to  a  significant  de-
gree,  underscoring  the  main  assumptions  used  by  man-
agement in measuring these items in compliance with the 
IFRS-EU. The critical element of such valuations is the use 
of  assumptions  and  professional  judgments  concerning 
issues that are by their very nature uncertain. 
Changes  in  the  conditions  underlying  the  assumptions 
and judgments could have a substantial impact on future 
results.
The  information  included  in  the  consolidated  financial 
statements is selected on the basis of a materiality anal-
ysis  carried  out  in  accordance  with  the  requirements  of 

with IFRS, as explained in the measurement bases applied 
to each individual item, and of non-current assets and dis-
posal groups classified as held for sale, which are measured 
at  the  lower  of  their  carrying  amount  and  fair  value  less 
costs to sell.
The  consolidated  financial  statements  are  presented  in 
euro, the functional currency of the Parent Enel SpA. All fig-
ures are shown in millions of euro unless stated otherwise.
The  consolidated  income  statement,  the  statement  of  fi-
nancial  position  and  the  consolidated  statement  of  cash 
flows report transactions with related parties, the definition 
of which is given in note 2.2 “Material accounting policies”.
The consolidated financial statements provide comparative 
information in respect of the previous year.

Practice  Statement  2  “Making  Materiality  Judgments”,  is-
sued  by  the  International  Accounting  Standards  Board 
(IASB). 

With  regard  to  the  effects  of  climate  change  issues,  the 
Group believes  that  climate change represents an implic-
it  element  in  the  application  of  the  methodologies  and 
models used to perform estimates in the valuation and/or 
measurement  of  certain  accounting  items.  Furthermore, 
the Group has also taken account of the impact of climate 
change in the significant judgments made by management. 
In  this  regard,  the  main  items  included  in  the  consolidat-
ed  financial  statements  at  December  31,  2023  affected 
by  management’s  use  of  estimates  and  judgments  refer 
to the impairment of non-financial assets and obligations 
connected  with  the  energy  transition,  including  those  for 
decommissioning and site restoration of certain generation 
plants. For further details on these items, please see note 
19 “Property, plant and equipment”, note 24 “Goodwill”, and 
note 40 “Provisions for risks and charges”.

Use of estimates

Revenue from contracts with customers
Revenue from supply of electricity and gas to end users is 
recognized  at  the  time  the  electricity  or  gas  is  delivered 
and includes, in addition to amounts invoiced on the ba-
sis of electricity consumption measured through periodic 
(and pertaining to the year) meter readings or on the vol-
umes notified by distributors and transporters, an estimate 
of the electricity and gas delivered during the period but 
not yet invoiced that is equal to the difference between the 
amount of electricity and gas delivered to the distribution 
network  and  that  invoiced  in  the  period,  taking  account 
of any network losses. Revenue between the date of the 

282 Integrated Annual Report 2023

 
last meter reading and the year-end is based on estimates 
of the daily consumption of individual customers, primar-
ily determined on their historical information, adjusted to 
reflect the climate factors or other matters that may affect 
the estimated consumption. 
For  more  details  on  such  revenue,  please  see  note  11.a 
“Revenue from sales and services”.

Impairment of non-financial assets
When the carrying amount of property, plant and equip-
ment,  investment  property  measured  at  cost,  intangible 
assets,  right-of-use  assets,  goodwill  and  investments  in 
associates/joint ventures exceeds its recoverable amount, 
which is the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and 
the value in use, the assets are impaired. 
Verification  of  the  recoverable  amount  of  such  assets  is 
performed in accordance with the provisions of IAS 36, as 
described in greater detail in note 24 “Goodwill”.
In order to determine the recoverable amount, the Group 
generally adopts the value in use criterion, intended as the 
present value of the estimated future cash flows generat-
ed by the asset, discounted using a pre-tax discount rate 
that  reflects  the  current  market  assessment  of  the  time 
value of money and of the specific risks of the asset. 
Future  cash  flows  used  to  determine  value  in  use  are 
based on the most recent Business Plan, approved by the 
management, containing forecasts for volumes, revenue, 
operating costs and investments. These projections cov-
er the next three years. For subsequent years, account is 
taken of:
•  assumptions  concerning  the  long-term  evolution  of 
the main variables considered in the calculation of cash 
flows, as well as the average residual useful life of the 
assets or the duration of the concessions, based on the 
specific characteristics of the businesses;

•  a long-term growth rate equal to the long-term growth 
of  electricity  demand  and/or  inflation  (depending  on 
the country and business) that does not in any case ex-
ceed the average long-term growth rate of the market 
involved.

The recoverable amount is sensitive to the estimates and 
assumptions used in the calculation of cash flows and the 
discount rates applied. Nevertheless, possible changes in 
the underlying assumptions of such amounts could gen-
erate different recoverable amounts. The analysis of each 
group of non-financial assets is unique and requires man-
agement  to  use  estimates  and  assumptions  considered 
prudent and reasonable in the specific circumstances.
In  line  with  its  business  model  and  in  the  context  of  the 
energy transition process, the Group has also carefully as-
sessed whether climate change issues have affected the 
reasonable and supportable assumption used to estimate 
expected cash flows. In this regard, where necessary, the 
Group has also taken account of the long-term impact of 

climate change, in particular by considering in the estima-
tion of the terminal value a long-term growth rate in line 
with  the  change  in  electricity  demand  determined  using 
energy models for each country.
Information  on  the  main  assumptions  used  to  estimate 
the  recoverable  amount  of  assets  with  reference  to  the 
impacts relating to climate change, as well as information 
on changes in these assumptions, is provided in note 24 
“Goodwill”.

Expected credit losses on financial assets
At the end of each reporting period, the Group recogniz-
es  a  loss  allowance  for  expected  credit  losses  on  trade 
receivables  and  other  financial  assets  measured  at  amor-
tized cost, debt instruments measured at fair value through 
other comprehensive income, contract assets and all other 
assets in scope.
Loss  allowances  for  financial  assets  are  based  on  as-
sumptions about risk of default and on the measurement 
of  expected  credit  losses.  Management  uses  judgment  in 
making these assumptions and selecting the inputs for the 
impairment calculation, based on the Group’s past experi-
ence, current market conditions as well as forward-looking 
estimates at the end of each reporting period. 
The  expected  credit  loss  (ECL)  –  determined  considering 
probability  of  default  (PD),  loss  given  default  (LGD),  and 
exposure  at  default  (EAD)  –  is  the  difference  between  all 
contractual cash flows that are due in accordance with the 
contract and all cash flows that are expected to be received 
(including all shortfalls) discounted at the original effective 
interest rate (EIR).
For  additional  details  on  the  general  simplified  approach 
used to determine expected credit losses, please see note 
48 “Financial instruments by category”.
Based on the specific reference market and the regulatory 
context of the sector, as well as expectations of recovery 
after  90  days,  for  trade  receivables,  contract  assets  and 
lease receivables, the Group mainly applies a default defi-
nition of 180 days past due to determine expected cred-
it  losses,  as  this  is  considered  an  effective  indication  of 
a  significant  increase  in  credit  risk.  Accordingly,  financial 
assets that are more than 90 days past due are generally 
not considered to be in default, except for some specific 
regulated markets.
For trade receivables and contract assets the Group mainly 
applies a collective approach based on grouping them into 
specific clusters, taking into account the specific regulato-
ry  and  business  context.  Only  if  the  trade  receivables  are 
deemed to be individually significant by management and 
there is specific information about any significant increase 
in credit risk, does the Group apply an analytical approach.

Based  on  specific  management  evaluations,  the  for-
ward-looking  adjustment  can  be  applied  considering

qualitative and quantitative information in order to reflect 
possible  future  events  and  macroeconomic  scenarios, 
which may affect the risk of the portfolio or the financial 
instrument.
For additional details on the key assumptions and inputs 
used,  please  see  note  48  “Financial  instruments  by  cat-
egory”.

Depreciable amount of certain elements of Italian 
hydroelectric plants subsequent to enactment of Law 
134/2012
Italian  regulations  governing  large-scale  hydroelectric 
concessions  were  significantly  modified  by  the  “Simpli-
fications  Decree”  (Decree  Law  135  of  2018,  ratified  with 
Law 12 of February 11, 2019). The regulations introduce a 
number  of  innovations  which,  if  applied  to  existing  con-
cessions, would require a review of the useful lives of cer-
tain investments in hydroelectric plants in order to reflect 
the  possibility  that,  at  the  end  of  the  concession,  some 
assets  could  be  transferred  free  of  charge  to  the  new 
concession holder. However, in estimating the useful lives 
of these plants, management, with the support of a legal 
opinion, considered the foreseeable outcome of the ap-
peals  promptly  lodged  by  the  Group  –  and  others  –  and 
the related constitutionality issues, which have also been 
raised by industrial associations. Consequently, we believe 
that  the  legislation  raises  serious  constitutionality  issues 
that will be effectively recognized in the appropriate fora. 
Accordingly,  management  deemed  it  appropriate  not  to 
reflect  the  changes  introduced  by  the  regulations  and 
therefore has continued to measure the useful lives of the 
plants as has been done in previous years under the pre-
vious regulatory system, considering this to be the most 
realistic estimate.
Law  134  of  August  7,  2012  containing  “urgent  measures 
for growth” (published in the Gazzetta Ufficiale of August 
11, 2012), introduced a sweeping overhaul of the rules gov-
erning hydroelectric concessions. Among its various pro-
visions, the law establishes that five years before the expi-
ration of a major hydroelectric water diversion concession 
and in cases of lapse, relinquishment or revocation, where 
there is no prevailing public interest for a different use of 
the water, incompatible with its use for hydroelectric gen-
eration, the competent public entity shall organize a pub-
lic call for tenders for the award for consideration of the 
concession  for  a  period  ranging  from  20  to  a  maximum 
of 30 years.
In order to ensure operational continuity, the law also gov-
erns the methods of transferring ownership of the busi-
ness unit necessary to operate the concession, including 
all legal relationships relating to the concession, from the 
outgoing concession holder to the new concession hold-
er, in exchange for payment of a price to be determined 
in negotiations between the departing concession holder 

and the grantor agency, taking due account of the follow-
ing elements:
•  for intake and governing works, penstocks and outflow 
channels, which under the consolidated law governing 
waters and electrical plants are to be relinquished free 
of  charge  (Article  25  of  Royal  Decree  1775  of  Decem-
ber 11, 1933), the revalued cost less government capital 
grants, also revalued, received by the concession hold-
er for the construction of such works, depreciated for 
ordinary wear and tear;

•  for  other  property,  plant  and  equipment,  the  market 
value, meaning replacement value, reduced by estimat-
ed depreciation for ordinary wear and tear.

While acknowledging that the new regulations introduce 
important changes as to the transfer of ownership of the 
business unit with regard to the operation of the hydro-
electric  concession,  the  practical  application  of  these 
principles  faces  difficulties,  given  the  uncertainties  that 
do not permit the formulation of a reliable estimate of the 
value that can be recovered at the end of existing conces-
sions (residual value).
Accordingly,  management  has  decided  it  could  not  pro-
duce a reasonable and reliable estimate of residual value.
The fact that the legislation requires the new concession 
holder  to  make  a  payment  to  the  departing  concession 
holder prompted management to review the depreciation 
schedules for assets classified as to be relinquished free 
of charge prior to Law 134/2012 (until the year ended on 
December 31, 2011, given that the assets were to be relin-
quished free of charge, the depreciation period was equal 
to the  closest date  between the  term  of  the  concession 
and the end of the useful life of the individual asset), cal-
culating depreciation no longer over the term of the con-
cession but, if longer, over the useful life of the individual 
assets. If additional information becomes available to en-
able the calculation of residual value, the carrying amounts 
of the assets involved will be adjusted prospectively. 

Determining the fair value of financial instruments
The fair value of financial instruments is determined on the 
basis  of  prices  directly  observable  in  the  market,  where 
available, or, for unlisted financial instruments, using spe-
cific  valuation  techniques  (mainly  based  on  present  val-
ue) that maximize the use of observable market inputs. In 
rare circumstances where this is not possible, the inputs 
are estimated by management taking due account of the 
characteristics of the instruments being measured. 
For  more  information  on  financial  instruments  measured 
at fair value, please see note 52 “Assets and liabilities mea-
sured at fair value”.
In  accordance  with  IFRS  13,  the  Group  includes  a  mea-
surement  of  credit  risk,  both  of  the  counterparty  (Credit 
Valuation  Adjustment  or  CVA)  and  its  own  (Debit  Valua-
tion  Adjustment  or  DVA),  in  order  to  adjust  the  fair  value 

284 Integrated Annual Report 2023

of financial instruments for the corresponding amount of 
counterparty risk, using the method discussed in note 52 
“Assets and liabilities measured at fair value”. 
Changes in the assumptions made in estimating the input 
data could have an impact on the fair value recognized for 
those instruments.

Pensions and other post-employment benefits
Some  of  the  Group’s  employees  participate  in  pension 
plans  offering  benefits  based  on  their  wage  history  and 
years of service. Certain employees are also eligible for oth-
er post-employment benefit schemes.
The expenses and liabilities of such plans are calculated on 
the basis of estimates carried out by consulting actuaries, 
who use a combination of statistical and actuarial elements 
in their calculations, including statistical data on past years 
and forecasts of future costs. Other components of the es-
timation  that  are  considered  include  mortality  and  retire-
ment rates as well as assumptions concerning future devel-
opments in discount rates, the rate of wage increases, the 
inflation rate and trends in healthcare cost. 
These estimates can differ significantly from actual devel-
opments owing to changes in economic and market con-
ditions, increases or decreases in retirement rates and the 
lifespan of participants, as well as changes in the effective 
cost of healthcare. 
Such  differences  can  have  a  substantial  impact  on  the 
quantification of pension costs and other related expenses. 
For more details on the main actuarial assumptions adopt-
ed, please see note 39 “Employee benefits”.

Provisions for risks and charges
For more details on provisions for risks and charges, please 
see note 40 “Provisions for risks and charges”.
Note  57  “Contingent  assets  and  liabilities”  also  provides 
information regarding the most significant contingent as-
sets and liabilities for the Group at year end.

Litigation
The  Group  is  involved  in  various  civil,  administrative  and 
tax  disputes  connected  with  the  normal  pursuit  of  its 
activities  that  could  give  rise  to  significant  liabilities.  It  is 
not always objectively possible to predict the outcome of 
these  disputes.  The  assessment  of  the  risks  associated 
with this litigation is based on complex factors whose very 
nature requires recourse to management judgments, even 
when taking account of the contribution of external advi-
sors assisting the Group, about whether to classify them 
as contingent liabilities or liabilities.
Provisions have been recognized to cover all significant li-
abilities for cases in which legal counsel feels an adverse 
outcome is likely and a reasonable estimate of the amount 
of the expense can be made.

Obligations associated with generation plants, including 
decommissioning and site restoration 
Generation activities may entail obligations for the operator 
with regard to future interventions that will have to be per-
formed following the end of the operating life of the plant.
Such  interventions  may  involve  the  decommissioning  of 
plants and site restoration, or other obligations linked to 
the type of generation technology involved. The nature of 
such obligations may also have a major impact on the ac-
counting treatment used for them.
In the case of nuclear power plants, where the costs re-
gard both decommissioning and the storage of waste fuel 
and other radioactive materials, the estimation of the fu-
ture cost is a critical process, given that the costs will be 
incurred over a very long span of time, estimated at up to 
100 years.
The  obligation,  based  on  financial  and  engineering  as-
sumptions, is calculated by discounting the expected fu-
ture cash flows that the Group considers it will have to pay 
to meet the obligations it has assumed.
The discount rate used to determine the present value of 
the liability is the pre-tax risk-free rate and is based on the 
economic  parameters  of  the  country  in  which  the  plant 
is  located.  That  liability  is  quantified  by  management  on 
the basis of the technology existing at the measurement 
date and is reviewed each year, taking account of devel-
opments in storage, decommissioning and site restoration 
technology,  as  well  as  the  ongoing  evolution  of  the  leg-
islative  framework  governing  health  and  environmental 
protection.
Subsequently, the value of the obligation is adjusted to re-
flect the passage of time and any changes in estimates.
For more information, please see note 40 “Provisions for 
risks and charges”. 

Onerous contracts
In order to identify an onerous contract, the Group esti-
mates the non-discretionary costs necessary to fulfil the 
obligations  assumed  (including  any  penalties)  under  the 
contract and the economic benefits that are presumed to 
be obtained from the contract.

Leases
When  the  interest  rate  implicit  in  the  lease  cannot  be 
readily determined, the Group uses the incremental bor-
rowing rate (IBR) at the lease commencement date to cal-
culate the present value of the lease payments. This is the 
interest rate that the lessee would have to pay to borrow 
over a similar term, and with a similar security, the funds 
necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the righ-
tofuse asset in a similar economic environment. When no 
observable  inputs  are  available,  the  Group  estimates  the 
IBR making assumptions to reflect the terms and condi-
tions of the lease and certain lessee-specific estimates.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

285

One  of  the  most  significant  judgments  for  the  Group  is 
determining  this  IBR  necessary  to  calculate  the  present 
value of the lease payments required to be paid to the les-
sor. The Group approach to determine an IBR is based on 
the assessment of the following three key components: 
•  the  risk-free  rate,  that  consider  the  currency  flows  of 
the lease payments, the economic environment where 
the  lease  contract  has  been  negotiated  and  also  the 
lease term; 

•  the credit spread adjustment, in order to calculate an 
IBR that is specific for the lessee considering any un-
derlying Parent or other guarantee; 

•  the  lease  related  adjustments,  in  order  to  reflect  into 
the IBR calculation the fact that the discount rate is di-
rectly linked to the type of the underlying asset, rath-
er than being a general incremental borrowing rate. In 
particular, the risk of default is mitigated for the lessors 
as  they  have  the  right  to  reclaim  the  underlying  asset 
itself. 

For  more  information  on  lease  liabilities,  please  see  note 
48 “Financial instruments by category”.

Income tax

Recovery of deferred tax assets
At  December  31,  2023,  the  consolidated  financial  state-
ments  report  deferred  tax  assets  in  respect  of  tax  loss-
es or tax credits usable in subsequent years and income 
components whose deductibility is deferred in an amount 
whose  future  recovery  is  considered  by  management  to 
be highly probable.
The recoverability of such assets is subject to the achieve-
ment of future profits sufficient to absorb such tax losses 
and to use the benefits of the other deferred tax assets. 
Significant  management  judgment  is  required  to  assess 
the probability of recovering deferred tax assets, consid-
ering all negative and positive evidence, and to determine 
the amount that can be recognized, based upon the likely 
timing and the level of future taxable profits together with 
future tax planning strategies and the tax rates applicable 
at the date of reversal. However, where the Group should 
become aware that it is unable to recover all or part of rec-
ognized tax assets in future years, the consequent adjust-
ment would be taken to profit or loss in the year in which 
this circumstance arises.
The recoverability of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the 
end  of  each  period.  Deferred  tax  assets  not  recognized 
are reassessed at each reporting date in order to verify the 
conditions for their recognition.

For more details on deferred tax assets recognized or not 
recognized, please see note 25 “Deferred tax assets and 
liabilities”.

Management judgment

Identification of operating segments
In accordance with the requirements of IFRS 8, the Group’s 
operating segments are represented by the business lines, 
identified as components: 
•  that engage in business activities from which they may 
earn  revenue  and  incur  expenses  (including  revenue 
and expenses relating to transactions with other com-
ponents of the same entity);

•  whose operating results are regularly reviewed by man-
agement to make decisions about resources to be allo-
cated to the segment and assess their performance; and

•  for which discrete financial information is available.

Identification of cash generating units (CGUs)
For impairment testing, if the recoverable amount cannot 
be determined for an individual asset, the Group identifies 
the  smallest  group  of  assets  that  generate  largely  inde-
pendent  cash  inflows.  The  smallest  group  of  assets  that 
generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the 
cash inflows from other assets or group of assets is a CGU.
Identifying  such  CGUs  involves  management  judgments 
regarding the specific nature of the assets and the busi-
ness involved (geographical segment, business segment, 
regulatory  framework,  etc.).  The  assets  of  each  CGU  are 
also identified on the basis of the manner in which man-
agement manages and monitors those assets, as well as 
the evidence that the cash inflows of the group of assets 
are largely independent of those associated with other as-
sets (or groups of assets). 
The assets of each CGU are also identified on the basis of 
the manner in which management manages and monitors 
those  assets.  In  particular,  the  number  and  scope  of  the 
CGUs are updated systematically to reflect the impact of 
new  business  combinations  and  reorganizations  carried 
out by the Group. 
The CGUs identified by management to which the goodwill 
recognized in these consolidated financial statements has 
been allocated are reported in note 24 “Goodwill”.

Determining the useful life of non-financial assets
In determining the useful life of property, plant and equip-
ment  and  intangible  assets  with  a  finite  useful  life,  the 
Group considers not only the future economic benefits – 
contained in the assets – obtained through their use, but 
also  many  other  factors,  such  as  physical  wear  and  tear, 
the  technical,  commercial  or  other  obsolescence  of  the 
product or service produced with the asset, legal or similar 
limits (e.g., safety, environmental or other restrictions) on 
the use of the asset, if the useful life of the asset depends 
on the useful life of other assets.
Furthermore,  in  estimating  the  useful  lives  of  the  assets 

286 Integrated Annual Report 2023

concerned, the Group has taken account of its commit-
ment  under  the  Paris  Agreement.  For  more  information, 
please see note 19 “Property, plant and equipment”.

Determination of the existence of control 
Under the provisions of IFRS 10, control is achieved when 
the  Group  is  exposed,  or  has  rights,  to  variable  returns 
from  its  involvement  with  the  investee  and  has  the  abili-
ty  to  affect  those  returns  through  its  power  over  the  in-
vestee. Power is defined as the current ability to direct the 
relevant activities of the investee based on existing sub-
stantive rights. 
The existence of control does not depend solely on owner-
ship of a majority investment, but rather it arises from sub-
stantive  rights  that  each  investor  holds  over  the  investee. 
Consequently, management must use its judgment in as-
sessing whether specific situations determine substantive 
rights that give the Group the power to direct the relevant 
activities of the investee in order to affect its returns. 
For  the  purpose  of  assessing  control,  management  an-
alyzes  all  facts  and  circumstances  including  any  agree-
ments with other investors, rights arising from other con-
tractual  arrangements  and  potential  voting  rights  (call 
options, warrants, put options granted to non-controlling 
shareholders,  etc.).  These  other  facts  and  circumstances 
could  be  especially  significant  in  such  assessment  when 
the  Group  holds  less  than  a  majority  of  voting  rights,  or 
similar rights, in the investee. 
Following such analysis of the existence of control, in ap-
plication of IFRS 10 the Group consolidated certain com-
panies on a line-by-line basis even though it did not hold 
more than half of the voting rights, determining that the 
requirements for de facto control existed.
Furthermore, even if it holds more than half of the voting 
rights  in  an  entity,  the  Group  considers  all  the  relevant 
facts and circumstances in assessing whether it controls 
the investee.
The  Group  reassesses  whether  or  not  it  controls  an  in-
vestee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are 
changes  to  one  or  more  of  the  elements  considered  in 
verifying the existence of control.

erations are joint arrangements whereby the parties that 
have joint control have rights to the assets and obligations 
for the liabilities relating to the arrangement.
In  order  to  determine  the  existence  of  the  joint  control 
and the type of joint arrangement, management must ap-
ply judgment and assess its rights and obligations arising 
from the arrangement. For this purpose, the management 
considers  the  structure  and  legal  form  of  the  arrange-
ment, the terms agreed by the parties in the contractual 
arrangement and, when relevant, other facts and circum-
stances. 
Following  that  analysis,  the  Group  has  considered  its  in-
terest  in  Asociación  Nuclear  Ascó-Vandellós  II  as  a  joint 
operation. 
The Group re-assesses whether or not it has joint control 
if facts and circumstances indicate that changes have oc-
curred in one or more of the elements considered in veri-
fying the existence of joint control and the type of the joint 
arrangement. 
For more information on the Group’s investments in joint 
ventures,  please  see  note  26  “Equity-accounted  invest-
ments”.

Determination of the existence of significant influence 
over an associate
Associates are those in which the Group exercises signifi-
cant influence, i.e. the power to participate in the financial 
and operating policy decisions of the investee but not ex-
ercise control or joint control over those policies. In gener-
al, it is presumed that the Group has a significant influence 
when it has an ownership interest of 20% or more.
In  order  to  determine  the  existence  of  significant  influ-
ence, management must apply judgment and consider all 
facts and circumstances. 
The  Group  re-assesses  whether  or  not  it  has  significant 
influence  if  facts  and  circumstances  indicate  that  there 
are changes to one or more of the elements considered in 
verifying the existence of significant influence.
For  more  information  on  the  Group’s  equity  investments 
in  associates,  please  see  note  26  “Equity-accounted  in-
vestments”.

Determination of the existence of joint control and of 
the type of joint arrangement
Under the provisions of IFRS 11, a joint arrangement is an 
agreement where two or more parties have joint control. 
Joint control exists only when the decisions over the rele-
vant activities require the unanimous consent of the par-
ties that share joint control.
A joint arrangement can be configured as a joint venture 
or a joint operation. Joint ventures are joint arrangements 
whereby the parties that have joint control have rights to 
the  net  assets  of  the  arrangement.  Conversely,  joint  op-

Determination of non-current assets (or disposal groups) 
held for sale and discontinued operations
An  asset  is  classified  as  “held  for  sale”  when  its  sale  is 
highly probable.
To determine whether a sale is highly probable, the Group 
considers whether:
•  management  is  committed  to  a  plan  to  sell  the  asset 
(or disposal group), and an active program to locate a 
buyer and complete the plan has been initiated;

•  the sale should be expected to qualify for recognition 
as  a  completed  sale  within  one  year  from  the  date  of 

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

287

classification,  except  where  the  delay  is  caused  by 
events  or  circumstances  beyond  the  Group’s  control 
and there is sufficient evidence that the Group remains 
committed to its plan to sell the asset;

•  the  actions  required  to  complete  the  plan  should  in-
dicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the 
plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.
In addition, an asset (or group of assets) shall be presented 
as a discontinued operation when it is classified as held for 
sale and: 
•  represents a separate major business line or geograph-

ical area of operations; 

•  is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of a sep-
arate  major  business  line  or  geographical  area  of  op-
erations; or 

•  is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. 

Application of “IFRIC 12 - Service Concession 
Arrangements” to concessions
The Group, as operator, applies IFRIC 12 to “public-to-pri-
vate”  service  concession  arrangements,  under  which  a 
public entity (the grantor) conveys to an operator the right 
to manage the infrastructure used to provide services. 
More  specifically,  management  assesses  whether  “pub-
lic-to-private” service concession arrangements are with-
in the scope of IFRIC 12 on the basis of whether:
•  the grantor controls or regulates what services the op-
erator must provide with the infrastructure, to whom it 
must provide them, and at what price; and

•  the  grantor  controls  –  through  ownership,  beneficial 
entitlement  or  otherwise  –  any  significant  residual  in-
terest in the infrastructure at the end of the term of the 
arrangement.

On the basis of that analysis, the provisions of IFRIC 12 are 
applicable  to  the  service  concession  arrangements  of  a 
number of companies that operate primarily in Brazil. 
Further details about service concession arrangements in 
the scope of IFRIC 12 are provided in note 20 “Infrastruc-
ture  within  the  scope  of  ‘IFRIC  12  -  Service  Concession 
Arrangements’”.

Revenue from contracts with customers
The  Group  carefully  analyzes  the  contractual  terms  and 
conditions  on  a  jurisdictional  level  in  order  to  determine 
when a contract exists and the terms of that contract’s en-
forceability so as to apply IFRS 15 only to such contracts. 
When  a  contract  includes  multiple  promised  goods  or 
services,  in  order  to  assess  if  they  should  be  accounted 
for separately or as a group, the Group considers both the 
individual  characteristics  of  goods/services  (i.e.  whether 
they are distinct or are a series of distinct goods or ser-
vices  that  are  substantially  the  same  and  that  have  the 
same pattern of transfer to the customer), and the nature 
of the promise within the context of the contract. To this 

end,  it  is  necessary  to  evaluate  all  the  facts  and  circum-
stances  relating  to  the  specific  contract  under  the  rele-
vant  legal  and  regulatory  framework.  To  evaluate  when  a 
performance  obligation  is  satisfied,  the  Group  evaluates 
when  the  control  of  the  goods  or  services  is  transferred 
to the customer, assessed primarily from the perspective 
of the customer. 
For  each  performance  obligation,  and  in  relation  to  the 
type of transaction:
•  revenue  is  recognized  over  time  on  the  basis  of  the 
progress  towards  complete  satisfaction  of  the  per-
formance  obligation,  as  in  the  case  of  the  provision 
of  services.  The  measurement  of  progress  towards 
complete  satisfaction  of  a  performance  obligation  is 
carried  out  consistently  for  performance  obligations 
and similar circumstances using an “output” or “input” 
method. In particular, the cost incurred method (cost-
to-cost  method)  is  considered  appropriate  for  mea-
suring progress except when a specific analysis of the 
contract counsels the use of an alternative method. If it 
should prove impossible to reasonably assess progress 
towards satisfaction of the performance obligation, the 
Group recognizes revenue only to the extent of the in-
curred costs that are considered recoverable;

•  if, on the other hand, the performance obligation is sat-
isfied at a given moment, as in the case of the supply 
of goods, revenue is recognized at the point in time in 
which the customer obtains the control of the goods, 
considering all relevant indicators. 

The  Group  considers  all  relevant  facts  and  circumstanc-
es  in  determining  whether  a  contract  includes  variable 
consideration (i.e. consideration that may vary or depends 
upon  the  occurrence  or  non-occurrence  of  a  future 
event).  In  estimating  variable  consideration,  the  Group 
uses the method that better predicts the consideration to 
which it will be entitled, applying it consistently through-
out the contract and for similar contracts, also consider-
ing all available information, and updating such estimates 
until  the  uncertainly  is  resolved.  The  Group  includes  the 
estimated variable consideration in the transaction price 
only to the extent that it is highly probable that a signifi-
cant reversal in the cumulative revenue recognized will not 
occur when the uncertainty is resolved.

The Group considers that it is an agent in some contracts 
in  which  it  is  not  primarily  responsible  for  fulfilling  the 
contract and therefore it does not control goods or ser-
vices before they are being transferred to customers. For 
example,  the  Group  acts  as  an  agent  in  some  contracts 
for electricity/gas network connection services and other 
related activities depending on local legal and regulatory 
framework.

288 Integrated Annual Report 2023

For contracts that have more than one performance obli-
gation (e.g., “bundled” sale contracts), the Group generally 
allocates  the  transaction  price  to  each  performance  ob-
ligation in proportion to its stand-alone selling price. The 
Group determines stand-alone selling prices considering 
all information and using observable prices when they are 
available in the market or, if not, using an estimation meth-
od that maximizes the use of observable inputs and apply-
ing it consistently to similar arrangements. 
If the Group evaluates that a contract includes an option 
for additional goods or services (e.g., customer loyalty pro-
grams or renewal options) that represents a material right, 
it allocates the transaction price to this option since the 
option gives rise to an additional performance obligation. 

The  Group  assesses  recoverability  of  the  incremental 
costs of obtaining a contract either on a contract-by-con-
tract basis, or for a group of contracts if those costs are 
associated with the group of contracts. 
The Group supports the recoverability of such costs on the 
basis of its experience with other similar transactions and 
evaluating  various  factors,  including  potential  renewals, 
amendments and follow-on contracts with the same cus-
tomer.
The Group amortizes such costs over the average customer 
term. In order to determine this expected period of benefit 
from the contract, the Group considers its past experience 
(e.g., “churn rate”), the predictive evidence from similar con-
tracts and available information about the market.

Power Purchase Agreements
Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), which provide for the 
physical delivery of energy and which do not comply with 
the  requirements  of  IFRS  10  for  the  existence  of  control 
or joint control over a company or an asset, and IFRS 16 
for the recognition of a lease, but which comply with the 
definition of a derivative under IFRS 9, are accounted for 
on the basis of the own use exemption when the relevant 
conditions are met. 
For more information on Virtual PPAs complying with the 
definition of derivative pursuant to IFRS 9, please see note 
51 “Derivatives and hedge accounting”.

Classification and measurement of financial assets
At initial recognition, in order to classify financial assets as 
financial assets at amortized cost, at fair value through oth-
er comprehensive income and at fair value through profit 
or  loss,  management  assesses  both  the  contractual  cash 
flow  characteristics  of  the  instrument  and  the  business 
model  for  managing  financial  assets  in  order  to  generate 
cash flows. 
In order to evaluate the contractual cash flow characteristics 
of  the  instrument,  management  performs  the  SPPI  test  at 
an instrument level, in order to determine if it gives rise to 

cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest 
(SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding, performing spe-
cific assessment on the contractual clauses of the financial 
instruments, as well as quantitative analysis, if required. 
The business model determines whether cash flows will re-
sult from collecting contractual cash flows, selling the finan-
cial assets, or both.
For more details, please see note 48 “Financial instruments 
by category”.

Hedge accounting
Hedge accounting is applied to derivatives in order to re-
flect into the financial statements the effect of the Group’s 
risk management strategies. 
Accordingly, at the inception of the transaction the Group 
documents  the  hedge  relationship  between  hedging  in-
struments and hedged items, as well as its risk manage-
ment  objectives  and  strategy.  The  Group  also  assesses, 
both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, wheth-
er  hedging  instruments  are  highly  effective  in  offsetting 
changes in the fair values or cash flows of hedged items.
On  the  basis  of  management’s  judgment,  the  effective-
ness assessment based on the existence of an econom-
ic relationship between the hedging instruments and the 
hedged items, the dominance of credit risk in the chang-
es  in  fair  value  and  the  hedge  ratio,  as  well  as  the  mea-
surement  of  the  ineffectiveness,  is  evaluated  through  a 
qualitative assessment or a quantitative computation, de-
pending on the specific facts and circumstances and on 
the characteristics of the hedged items and the hedging 
instruments.
For cash flow hedges of forecast transactions designated 
as hedged items, management assesses and documents 
that they are highly probable and present an exposure to 
changes in cash flows that affect profit or loss.

For additional details on the key assumptions about effec-
tiveness  assessment  and  ineffectiveness  measurement, 
please  see  note  51.1  “Derivatives  designated  as  hedging 
instruments”.

Leases 
The complexity of the assessment of the lease contracts, 
and also their long-term expiring date, requires consider-
able professional judgments for application of IFRS 16. In 
particular, this regards: 
•  the application of the definition of a lease to the cases 
typical of the sectors in which the Group operates;
•  the identification of the non-lease component into the 

lease arrangements;

•  the  evaluation  of  any  renewable  and  termination  op-
tions  included  in  the  lease  in  order  to  determine  the 
term of leases, also considering the probability of their 
exercise and any significant leasehold improvements on 

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

the underlying asset;

•  the  identification  of  any  variable  lease  payments  that 
depend on an index or a rate to determine whether the 
changes of the latter impact the future lease payments 
and also the amount of the right-of-use asset;

•  the estimate of the discount rate to calculate the pres-
ent  value  of  the  lease  payments;  further  details  on 
assumptions about this rate are provided in the para-
graph “Use of estimates”.

For more information on leases, please see note 21 “Leas-
es”.

Uncertainty over income tax treatments 
The  Group  determines  whether  to  consider  each  uncer-
tain income tax treatment separately or together with one 
or more other uncertain tax treatments as well as whether 
to reflect the effect of uncertainty by using the most likely 
amount  or  the  expected  value  method,  based  on  which 
approach better predicts the resolution of the uncertainty 
for each uncertain tax treatments, taking account of local 
tax regulations.
The Group makes significant use of professional judgment 
in  identifying  uncertainties  about  income  tax  treatments 
and  reviews  the  judgments  and  estimates  made  in  the 
event of a change in facts and circumstances that could 
change  its  assessment  of  the  acceptability  of  a  specific 
tax treatment or the estimate of the effects of uncertainty, 
or both.
For more information on income taxes, please see note 17 
“Income taxes”.

2.2 Material accounting policies

Related parties
Pursuant  to  IAS  24,  related  parties  are  mainly  those  that 
share the same controlling entity with Enel SpA, the com-
panies  that  directly  or  indirectly  are  controlled  by  Enel 
SpA, the associates or joint ventures (including their sub-
sidiaries)  of Enel SpA, or the associates or joint ventures 
(including their subsidiaries) of any Group company. Relat-
ed parties also include entities that operate post-employ-
ment  benefit  plans  for  employees  of  Enel  SpA  or  its  as-
sociates (specifically, the FOPEN and FONDENEL pension 
funds), as well as the members of the boards of statutory 
auditors, and their immediate family, and the key manage-
ment personnel, and their immediate family, of Enel SpA 
and its subsidiaries. Key management personnel comprise 
management personnel who have the power and direct or 
indirect responsibility for the planning, management and 
control of the activities of the Company. They include di-
rectors (whether executive or not).

Subsidiaries
Pursuant to IFRS 10, subsidiaries are all entities over which 
the Group has control. For more information on the defi-
nition of control, please see section “Determination of the 
existence  of  control”  in  note  2.1  “Use  of  estimates  and 
management judgment”. 

The  financial  statements  of  subsidiaries  used  to  prepare 
the  consolidated  financial  statements  were  prepared  at 
December  31,  2023  in  accordance  with  the  accounting 
policies adopted by the Group.
If  a  subsidiary  uses  different  accounting  policies  from 
those  adopted  in  preparing  the  consolidated  financial 
statements for similar transactions and facts in similar cir-
cumstances, appropriate adjustments are made to ensure 
conformity with Group accounting policies.
The figures of the subsidiaries are consolidated on a full 
line-by-line basis as from the date control is acquired until 
such control ceases.
Profit or loss for the year and the other comprehensive in-
come are attributed to owners of the Parent and non-con-
trolling interests, even if this results in a loss for non-con-
trolling interests. 
All  intercompany  assets  and  liabilities,  equity  item,  reve-
nue, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions be-
tween entities of the Group are eliminated in full.
Changes in ownership interest in subsidiaries that do not 
result in loss of control are accounted for as equity trans-
actions, with the carrying amounts of the controlling and 
non-controlling  interests  adjusted  to  reflect  changes  in 
their  interests  in  the  subsidiary.  Any  difference  between 
the amount to which non-controlling interests are adjust-
ed and the fair value of the consideration paid or received 
is recognized in consolidated equity. 
When the Group ceases to have control over a subsidiary, 
any interest retained in the entity is remeasured to its fair 
value, recognized through profit or loss, at the date when 
control is lost, recognizing any gain or loss from the loss 
of control through profit or loss. In addition, any amounts 
previously recognized in other comprehensive income in 
respect  of  the  former  subsidiary  are  accounted  for  as  if 
the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or 
liabilities. 

Investments in associates and joint ventures
In the consolidated financial statements, investments in as-
sociated companies and joint arrangements are measured 
in accordance with the requirements established by “IAS 28 
- Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures” and “IFRS 
11 - Joint Arrangements”.
In  this  respect,  an  associate  is  an  entity  over  which  the 
Group  has  significant  influence,  while  a  joint  venture  is  a 
joint  arrangement  over  which  the  Group  exercises  joint 
control and has rights to the net assets of the arrangement. 

290 Integrated Annual Report 2023

The Group’s investments in associates and joint ventures 
are accounted for using the equity method, under which 
these investments are initially recognized at cost and any 
goodwill arising from the difference between the cost of 
the investment and the Group’s share of the net fair val-
ue of the investee’s identifiable assets and liabilities at the 
acquisition date is included in the carrying amount of the 
investment. 
After the acquisition date, their carrying amount is adjust-
ed to recognize changes in the Group’s share of profit or 
loss of the associate or joint venture in Group profit or loss. 
Adjustments to the carrying amount may also be neces-
sary  following  changes  in  the  Group’s  share  in  the  asso-
ciate  or  joint  venture  as  a  result  of  changes  in  the  other 
comprehensive income of the investee. The Group’s share 
of these changes is recognized in the Group’s other com-
prehensive income.
Distributions received from joint ventures and associates 
reduce the carrying amount of the investments. 
Gains and losses resulting from transactions between the 
Group and the associates or joint ventures are eliminated 
to the extent of the interest in the associate or joint ven-
ture. 
The financial statements of the associates or joint ventures 
are prepared for the same reporting period as the Group. 
After application of the equity method, the Group deter-
mines whether it is necessary to recognize an impairment 
loss  on  its  investment  in  an  associate  or  joint  venture.  If 
there  is  objective  evidence  of  a  loss  of  value,  the  entire 
carrying amount of the investment undergoes impairment 
testing pursuant to IAS 36 as a single asset. For more in-
formation on impairment, please see the section “Impair-
ment of non-financial assets” in note 2.1 “Use of estimates 
and management judgment”.

If the investment ceases to be an associate or a joint ven-
ture, the Group recognizes any retained investment at its 
fair  value,  through  profit  or  loss.  Any  amounts  previously 
recognized in other comprehensive income in respect of 
the former associate or joint venture are accounted for as 
if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or 
liabilities. 
If the ownership interest in an associate or a joint venture 
is reduced, but the Group continues to exercise a signifi-
cant influence or joint control, the Group continues to ap-
ply  the  equity  method  and  the  share  of  the  gain  or  loss 
that had previously been recognized in other comprehen-
sive income relating to that reduction is accounted for as 
if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or 
liabilities.
Joint  operations  are  joint  arrangements  whereby  the 
Group, which holds joint control, has rights to the assets 
and  obligations  for  the  liabilities  relating  to  the  arrange-
ment. For each joint operation, the Group recognized as-

sets, liabilities, costs and revenue on the basis of the pro-
visions of the arrangement rather than the interest held.
Where  there  is  an  increase  in  the  interest  in  a  joint  ar-
rangement that meets the definition of a business:
•  if the Group acquires control, and had rights over the 
assets and obligations for the liabilities of the joint ar-
rangement  immediately  before  the  acquisition  date, 
then  the  transaction  represents  a  business  combina-
tion achieved in stages, with the remeasurement of the 
interest it held previously in the joint operation at its fair 
value at each acquisition date;

•  if the Group obtains joint control (i.e. it already had an 
interest in a joint operation without holding joint con-
trol), the interest previously held in the joint operation 
shall not be remeasured.

For more information on the Group’s investments in asso-
ciates and joint ventures, please see note 26 “Equity-ac-
counted investments”.

Translation of foreign currency items
Pursuant  to  “IAS  21  -  The  Effects  of  Changes  in  Foreign 
Exchange Rates“, transactions in currencies other than the 
functional currency are initially recognized at the spot ex-
change rate prevailing on the date of the transaction. 
Monetary  assets  and  liabilities  denominated  in  a  foreign 
currency  other  than  the  functional  currency  are  subse-
quently translated using the spot exchange rate prevailing 
at the reporting date.
Non-monetary  assets  and  liabilities  denominated  in  for-
eign  currency  that  are  recognized  at  historical  cost  are 
translated using the exchange rate at the date of the ini-
tial  recognition  of  the  transaction.  Non-monetary  assets 
and  liabilities  in  foreign  currency  measured  at  fair  value 
are translated using the exchange rate at the date the fair 
value was determined. 
Any  exchange  differences  are  recognized  through  profit 
or loss. 
In determining the spot exchange rate to use on initial rec-
ognition of the related asset, expense or income (or part 
of  it)  on  the  derecognition  of  a  non-monetary  asset  or 
non-monetary liability relating to advance consideration in 
foreign currency paid or received, the date of the transac-
tion is the date on which the Group initially recognizes the 
non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability associated 
with the advance consideration.

Translation of financial statements 
denominated in a foreign currency
For the purposes of the consolidated financial statements, 
all  revenue,  expenses,  assets  and  liabilities  are  stated  in 
euro, which is the presentation currency of the Parent.
Pursuant  to  IAS  21,  in  order  to  prepare  the  consolidated 
financial  statements,  the  financial  statements  of  consol-
idated  companies  with  functional  currencies  other  than 

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

291

the presentation currency used in the consolidated finan-
cial statements are translated into euros by applying the 
closing exchange rate to the assets and liabilities, includ-
ing goodwill and consolidation adjustments, and the aver-
age exchange rate for the period to the income statement 
items on the condition it approximates the exchange rates 
prevailing at the date of the respective transactions. 
Any resulting exchange gains or losses are recognized as 
a separate component of equity in a special reserve. The 
gains  and  losses  are  recognized  proportionately  in  the 
income statement on the disposal (partial or total) of the 
subsidiary.
When the functional currency of a consolidated company 
is the currency of a hyperinflationary economy, the Group 
restates the financial statements in accordance with “IAS 
29  -  Financial  Reporting  in  Hyperinflationary  Economies“ 
before  applying  the  specific  conversion  method  set  out 
below.
In order to consider the impact of hyperinflation on the lo-
cal currency exchange rate, the financial position and per-
formance (i.e. assets, liabilities, equity items, revenue and 
expenses)  of  a  company  of  the  Group  whose  functional 
currency  is  the  currency  of  a  hyperinflationary  economy 
are translated into the Group’s presentation currency (the 
euro) using the exchange rate prevailing at the reporting 
date,  except  for  comparative  amounts  presented  in  the 
previous year’s financial statements which are not adjust-
ed  for  subsequent  changes  in  the  price  level  or  subse-
quent changes in exchange rates.

Goodwill
Goodwill represents the future economic benefits arising 
from other assets acquired in a business combination that 
are  not  individually  identified  and  separately  recognized 
and is recognized in the consolidated financial statements 
as at the date of acquisition of control of the business.
To this end, the Group recognizes business combinations 
using:
•  the  “purchase  method”,  for  all  business  combinations 
initiated  before  January  1,  2010  and  completed  within 
that financial year on the basis of IFRS 3 (2004), where 
the purchase cost is equal to the fair value at the date 
of the exchange of the assets acquired and the liabil-
ities  incurred  or  assumed,  plus  costs  directly  attrib-
utable  to  the  acquisition.  This  cost  was  allocated  by 
recognizing  the  assets,  liabilities  and  identifiable  con-
tingent liabilities of the acquired company at their fair 
values. Any positive difference between the cost of the 
acquisition and the fair value of the net assets acquired 
attributable to owners of the Parent was recognized as 
goodwill. The carrying amount of non-controlling inter-
ests was determined in proportion to the interest held 
by non-controlling shareholders in the net assets. In the 
case  of  business  combinations  achieved  in  stages,  at 

the date of acquisition any adjustment to the fair value 
of  the  net  assets  acquired  previously  was  recognized 
in  equity;  the  amount  of  goodwill  was  determined  for 
each transaction separately based on the fair values of 
the acquiree’s net assets at the date of each exchange 
transaction;

•  the “acquisition method”, for all business combinations 
carried out as from January 1, 2010 that are recognized 
on  the  basis  of  IFRS  3  (2008),  which  is  referred  to  as 
IFRS 3 (Revised) hereafter, where the purchase cost (the 
consideration transferred) is equal to the fair value at the 
purchase date of the assets acquired and the liabilities 
incurred or assumed, as well as any equity instruments 
issued  by  the  purchaser.  The  purchase  cost  includes 
the  fair  value  of  any  asset  or  liability  resulting  from  a 
contingent  consideration  arrangement.  The  consider-
ation transferred is allocated by recognizing the assets, 
liabilities and identifiable contingent liabilities of the ac-
quired company at their fair values as at the acquisition 
date.  In  this  regard,  goodwill  is  defined  as  the  excess 
of the consideration transferred, measured at fair value 
as at the acquisition date, the amount of any non-con-
trolling interest in the acquiree plus the fair value of any 
equity  interest  in  the  acquiree  previously  held  by  the 
Group  (in  a  business  combination  achieved  in  stages) 
over the net amount of the identifiable assets acquired 
and the liabilities incurred or assumed measured at fair 
value. The carrying amount of non-controlling interests 
is determined either in proportion to the interest held 
by non-controlling shareholders in the net identifiable 
assets  of  the  acquiree  or  at  their  fair  value  as  at  the 
acquisition date. 

IFRS 3 (Revised) requires, among other things, the following: 
•  costs directly attributable to the acquisition are recog-

nized through profit or loss;

•  in the case of business combinations achieved in stag-
es, at the date of acquisition of control the previously 
held  equity  interest  in  the  acquiree  is  remeasured  to 
fair value and any positive or negative difference is rec-
ognized in profit or loss;

•  any contingent consideration is recognized at fair val-
ue at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the 
fair value of the contingent consideration classified as 
an asset or a liability, or as a financial instrument within 
the scope of IFRS 9, are recognized in profit or loss. If 
the contingent consideration is not within the scope of 
IFRS  9,  it  is  measured  in  accordance  with  the  appro-
priate IFRS-IAS. Contingent consideration that is clas-
sified as equity is not re-measured, and its subsequent 
settlement is accounted for within equity; 

•  if the fair values of the assets, liabilities and contingent 
liabilities can only be calculated on a provisional basis, 
the  business  combination  is  recognized  using  such 
provisional values. Any adjustments resulting from the 

292 Integrated Annual Report 2023

completion  of  the  measurement  process  are  recog-
nized  within  12  months  of  the  date  of  acquisition, re-
stating comparative figures.

Goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries is rec-
ognized separately. After initial recognition, goodwill is not 
amortized, but is tested for impairment at least annually. 
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocat-
ed,  from  the  acquisition  date,  to  each  CGU  or  group  of 
CGUs that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the 
combination.
For more information, please see the section “Impairment 
of non-financial assets” in note 2.1 “Use of estimates and 
management judgment”. 
Goodwill relating to equity investments in associates and 
joint venture is included in their carrying amount.

Fair value measurement
For  all  fair  value  measurements  and  disclosures  of  fair 
value,  that  are  either  required  or  permitted  by  IFRS,  the 
Group applies IFRS 13.
Fair  value  is  defined  as  the  price  that  would  be  received 
to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly 
transaction, between market participants, at the measure-
ment date (i.e. an exit price). 
The  fair  value  measurement  assumes  that  the  transac-
tion to sell an asset or transfer a liability takes place in the 
principal market, i.e. the market with the greatest volume 
and level of activity for the asset or liability. In the absence 
of  a  principal  market,  it  is  assumed  that  the  transaction 
takes  place  in  the  most  advantageous  market  to  which 
the Group has access, i.e. the market that maximizes the 
amount that would be received to sell the asset or mini-
mizes the amount that would be paid to transfer the lia-
bility.
The  fair  value  of  an  asset  or  a  liability  is  measured  using 
the assumptions that market participants would use when 
pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market partic-
ipants act in their economic best interest. Market partici-
pants are independent, knowledgeable sellers and buyers 
who are able to enter into a transaction for the asset or the 
liability and who are motivated but not forced or otherwise 
compelled to do so.
When measuring fair value, the Group considers the char-
acteristics of the asset or liability, in particular:
•  for  a  non-financial  asset,  a  fair  value  measurement 
takes  into  account  a  market  participant’s  ability  to 
generate  economic  benefits  by  using  the  asset  in  its 
highest and best use or by selling it to another market 
participant that would use the asset in its highest and 
best use;

•  for  liabilities  and  own  equity  instruments,  the  fair  val-
ue reflects the effect of non-performance risk, i.e. the 
risk that an entity will not fulfill an obligation, including 
among others the credit risk of the Group itself.

In  measuring  the  fair  value  of  assets  and  liabilities,  the 
Group  uses  valuation  techniques  that  are  appropriate  in 
the circumstances and for which sufficient data are avail-
able, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and 
minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.

Property, plant and equipment
Pursuant to IAS 16, property, plant and equipment is stated 
at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulat-
ed impairment losses, if any. Such cost includes expenses 
directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location 
and condition necessary for its intended use. 
The cost is also increased by the present value of the es-
timate of the costs of decommissioning and restoring the 
site on which the asset is located where there is a legal or 
constructive  obligation  to  do  so.  The  corresponding  lia-
bility is recognized under provisions for risks and charges. 
For more information on changes in the estimate of these 
costs, the passage of time and the discount rate, please 
see  note  2.1  “Use  of  estimates  and  management  judge-
ment”.
Property, plant and equipment transferred from custom-
ers to connect them to the electricity distribution network 
and/or to provide them with other related services is ini-
tially recognized at its fair value at the date on which con-
trol is obtained.
Borrowing  costs  that  are  directly  attributable  to  the  ac-
quisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset, 
i.e. an asset that takes a substantial period of time to get 
ready for its intended use or sale, are capitalized as part of 
the cost of the assets themselves. Borrowing costs asso-
ciated  with  the  purchase/construction  of  assets  that  do 
not meet such requirement are expensed in the period in 
which they are incurred.
Certain  assets  that  were  revalued  at  the  IFRS  transition 
date or in previous periods are recognized at their fair val-
ue,  which  is  considered  to  be  their  deemed  cost  at  the 
revaluation date. 
Where individual items of major components of property, 
plant and equipment have different useful lives, the com-
ponents are recognized and depreciated separately.
Subsequent  costs  are  recognized  as  an  increase  in  the 
carrying amount of the asset when it is probable that fu-
ture economic benefits associated with the cost incurred 
to replace a part of the asset will flow to the Group and the 
cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other costs 
are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
The cost of replacing part or all of an asset is recognized 
as an increase in the carrying amount of the asset and is 
depreciated over its useful life; the carrying amount of the 
replaced unit is derecognized through profit or loss.
Property,  plant  and  equipment,  net  of  its  residual  value, 
is depreciated on a straight-line basis over its estimated 
useful life, which is reviewed annually. Any changes in de-

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

preciation criteria shall be applied prospectively. Depreci-
ation begins when the asset is available for use. For more 
information on estimating useful life, please see note 2.1

The  useful  life  of  leasehold  improvements  is  determined 
on the basis of the term of the lease or, if shorter, on the 
duration  of  the  benefits  produced  by  the  improvements 
themselves.
Land is not depreciated as it has an indefinite useful life.
Assets  recognized  under  property,  plant  and  equipment 
are  derecognized  either  upon  their  disposal  (i.e.  at  the 
date the recipient obtains control) or when no future eco-

nomic benefit is expected from their use or disposal. Any 
gain or loss, recognized through profit or loss, is calculat-
ed as the difference between the net disposal proceeds, 
determined in accordance with the transaction price re-
quirements  of  IFRS  15,  and  the  carrying  amount  of  the 
derecognized assets.

Assets to be relinquished free of charge
The Group’s plants include assets to be relinquished free 
of  charge  at  the  end  of  the  concessions.  These  mainly 
regard  major  water  diversion  works  and  the  public  lands 
used for the operation of the thermal power plants. 
Within the Italian regulatory framework in force until 2011, 
if the concessions are not renewed, at those dates all in-
take  and  governing  works,  penstocks,  outflow  channels 
and other assets on public lands were to be relinquished 
free  of  charge  to  the  State  in  good  operating  condition. 
Accordingly,  depreciation  on  assets  to  be  relinquished 
was calculated over the shorter of the term of the conces-
sion and the useful life of the assets.
In the wake of the legislative changes introduced with Law 
134 of August 7, 2012, the assets previously classified as 
assets “to be relinquished free of charge” connected with 
the  hydroelectric  water  diversion  concessions  are  now 
considered  in  the  same  manner  as  other  categories  of 
“property, plant and equipment” and are therefore depre-
ciated over the useful life of the asset (where this exceeds 
the  term  of  the  concession),  as  discussed  in  the  section 
above on the “Depreciable amount of certain elements of 
Italian  hydroelectric  plants  subsequent  to  enactment  of 
Law 134/2012”, which you are invited to consult for more 
details. 

In  accordance  with  Spanish  laws  29/1985  and  46/1999, 
hydroelectric  power  stations  in  Spanish  territory  operate 
under administrative concessions at the end of which the 
plants will be returned to the government in good operating 
condition. The terms of the concessions extend up to 2078. 
A  number  of  generation  companies  that  operate  in  Lat-
in  America  hold  administrative  concessions  with  similar 
conditions to those applied under the Spanish concession 
system. These concessions will expire in Argentina in 2087, 
in Brazil in 2047, in Costa Rica in 2031, in Panama and in 
Guatemala in 2062.

Service concession arrangements
When  acting  as  operator  under  “public-to-private”  ser-
vice concession arrangements, the Group constructs/up-
grades infrastructure used to provide a public service and/
or operates and maintains that infrastructure for the years 
of the concession, in accordance with the terms specified 
in the contract.
In these circumstances, the Group does not account for 
the  infrastructure  operated  under  a  service  concession

particular,  when  the  Group  provides  construction  or  up-
grade  services,  depending  on  the  characteristics  of  the 
service concession arrangement, it recognizes:
•  a financial asset, if the Group has an unconditional con-
tractual right to receive cash or another financial asset 
from the grantor (or from a third party at the direction 
of the grantor), that is the grantor has little discretion to 
avoid payment; and/or

•  an  intangible  asset,  if  the  Group  receives  the  right  (a 
license) to charge users of the public service provided 
and  thus  does  not  have  an  unconditional  right  to  re-
ceive cash because the amounts are contingent on the 
extent that the public uses the service. 

If  the  Group  (as  operator)  has  a  contractual  right  to  re-
ceive an intangible asset, borrowing costs are capitalized 
using the criteria specified in note 19 “Property, plant and 
equipment”.
However,  for  construction/upgrade  services,  both  types 
of consideration are classified as a contract asset during 
the construction/upgrade period.
For  more  details  about  such  consideration,  please  see 
note 11.a “Revenue from sales and services”.
Conversely,  where  the  service  concession  arrangement 
provides  for  the  infrastructure  used  for  to  operate  the 
concessions themselves do not comply with the require-
ments established by IFRIC 12 and, in particular, are owned 
and available to the operator or have an indefinite expiry, 
the  carrying  amount  of  the  assets  attributable  to  these 
concessions  is  recognized  under  “Property,  plant  and 
equipment” and accounted for in accordance with IAS 16. 
Information  on  the  main  characteristics  of  the  Group’s 
service  concession  arrangements  can  be  found  in  note 
20 “Infrastructure within the scope of ‘IFRIC 12 - Service 
Concession Arrangements’”.

Leases
At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a 
contract is, or contains, a lease applying the definition of a 
lease under IFRS 16, that is met if the contract conveys the 
right to control the use of an identified asset for a period 
of time in exchange for consideration.
When the Group acts as a lessee, it recognizes a right-of-
use asset and a lease liability at the commencement date 
of the lease (i.e. the date the underlying asset is available 
for use).
The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which 
includes the initial amount of lease liability adjusted for any 
lease  payments  made  at  or  before  the  commencement 
date less any lease incentives received, plus any initial di-
rect costs incurred and an estimate of costs to retire and 
remove the underlying asset and to restore the underlying 
asset or the site on which it is located.

Right-of-use  assets  are  subsequently  depreciated  on  a 
straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and 
the estimated useful lives of the right-of-use assets.

If the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to 
the Group at the end of the lease term or if the cost of the 
right-of-use asset reflects the fact that the Group will ex-
ercise a purchase option, depreciation is calculated using 
the estimated useful life of the underlying asset.
In  addition,  the  right-of-use  assets  are  subject  to  im-
pairment testing and adjusted for any remeasurement of 
lease liabilities. 
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of 
lease payments to be made over the lease term, discounted 
using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate at the lease 
commencement date when the interest rate implicit in the 
lease is not readily determinable. 
Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or 
a rate are recognized as expenses in the period in which the 
event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.
After  the  commencement  date,  the  lease  liability  is  mea-
sured at amortized cost using the effective interest method 
and is remeasured upon the occurrence of certain events. 
The  Group  applies  the  short-term  lease  recognition  ex-
emption to its lease contracts that have a lease term of 12 
months or less from the commencement date. It also ap-
plies the low-value assets recognition exemption to lease 
contracts  for  which  the  underlying  asset  is  of  low-value 
whose amount is estimated not material. For example, the 
Group has leases of certain office equipment (i.e. personal 
computers, printing and photocopying machines) that are 
considered  of  low  value.  Lease  payments  on  short-term 
leases  and  leases  of  low-value  assets  are  recognized  as 
expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Intangible assets
Pursuant  to  IAS  38,  intangible  assets  are  identifiable  as-
sets without physical substance controlled by the Group, 
when it is probable that the use of such assets will gener-
ate future economic benefits and the related cost can be 
reliably determined. 
They  are  measured  at  purchase  or  internal  development 
cost  for  internally  generated  assets  and  are  recognized 
only when the Group can demonstrate the technical fea-
sibility of completing the asset, its intention and ability to 
complete development and to use or sell the asset and the 
availability of resources to complete the asset.
The cost includes any directly attributable expenses nec-
essary to make the assets ready for their intended use.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

295

Intangible assets with a finite useful life are recognized net 
of accumulated amortization and any impairment losses.
Amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis over the 
asset’s  estimated  useful  life,  which  is  reassessed  at  least 
annually; any changes in amortization policies are reflected 
on a prospective basis. For more information on estimat-
ing useful life, please see note 2.1 “Use of estimates and 
management judgment” and note 23 “Intangible assets”.
Amortization commences when the asset is ready for use. 
Consequently,  intangible  assets  not  yet  available  for  use 
are not amortized, but are tested for impairment at least 
annually. 
The Group’s intangible assets have a finite useful life, with 
the exception of a number of concessions and goodwill.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amor-
tized, but are tested for impairment annually. 
The assessment of indefinite useful life is reviewed annual-
ly to determine whether the indefinite useful life continues 
to be supportable. If not, the change in useful life from in-
definite to finite is accounted for as a change in account-
ing estimate.

The Group presents costs to obtain a contract with a cus-
tomer capitalized in accordance with IFRS 15 as intangible 
assets, only if:
•  the  costs  are  incremental,  that  is  they  are  directly  at-
tributable  to  an  identified  contract  and  the  Group 
would not have incurred them if the contract had not 
been obtained;

•  the  Group  expects  to  recover  them,  through  reim-
bursements  (direct  recoverability)  or  the  margin  (indi-
rect recoverability).

In particular, the Group generally capitalizes trade fees and 
commissions paid to agents for such contracts if the capi-
talization criteria are met.
Capitalized  customer  contract  costs  are  amortized  on  a 
systematic basis, consistent with the pattern of the trans-
fer  of  the  goods  or  services  to  which  they  relate,  and 
undergo  impairment  testing  to  identify  any  impairment 
losses to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset 
recognized exceeds the recoverable amount.

The  Group  amortizes  the  capitalized  customer  contract 
costs on a straight-line basis over the expected period of 
benefit from the contract (i.e. the average term of the cus-
tomer  relationship);  any  changes  in  amortization  policies 
are reflected on a prospective basis. 

Impairment of non-financial assets
Pursuant  to  ”IAS  36  -  Impairment  of  assets”,  at  each  re-
porting  date,  property,  plant  and  equipment,  investment 
property  recognized  at  cost,  intangible  assets,  right-of-
use assets, goodwill and equity investments in associates/
joint ventures are reviewed to determine whether there is 
evidence of impairment (using internal and external sourc-
es of information).
CGUs to which goodwill is allocated, intangible assets with 
an indefinite useful life and intangible assets not yet avail-
able for use are tested for recoverability annually or more 
frequently if there is evidence suggesting that the assets 
can be impaired.
If such evidence exists, the recoverable amount of any in-
volved asset is estimated on the basis of the use of the as-
set and its future disposal, in accordance with the Group’s 
most recent Business Plan. For the estimate of the recov-
erable amount, please see note 2.1 “Use of estimates and 
management judgment”. 
The  recoverable  amount  is  determined  for  an  individu-
al  asset,  unless  the  asset  do  not  generate  cash  inflows 
that  are  largely  independent  of  those  from  other  assets 
or groups of assets and therefore it is determined for the 
CGU to which the asset belongs. 
If the carrying amount of an asset or of a CGU to which it 
is allocated is greater than its recoverable amount, an im-
pairment loss is recognized in profit or loss and presented 
under  “Depreciation,  amortization  and  other  impairment 
losses”.
Impairment losses of CGUs are firstly charged against the 
carrying amount of any goodwill attributed to it and then 
against  the  other  assets,  in  proportion  to  their  carrying 
amount.
If the reasons for a previously recognized impairment loss 
no  longer  apply,  the  carrying  amount  of  the  asset  is  re-
stored through profit or loss, under “Depreciation, amor-
tization  and  other  impairment  losses”,  in  an  amount  that 
shall not exceed the carrying amount that the asset would 
have had if the impairment loss had not been recognized. 
The original amount of goodwill is not restored even if in 
subsequent years the reasons for the impairment no lon-
ger apply. 

Inventories
Pursuant  to  IAS  2,  inventories  are  measured  at  the  low-
er of cost and net realizable value except for inventories 
involved  in  trading  activities,  which  are  measured  at  fair 
value  with  recognition  through  profit  or  loss.  Cost  is  de-
termined on the basis of average weighted cost, which in-

296 Integrated Annual Report 2023

cludes related ancillary charges. Net estimated realizable 
value is the estimated normal selling price net of estimat-
ed costs to sell or, where applicable, replacement cost.
For the portion of inventories held to discharge sales that 
have already been made, the net realizable value is deter-
mined on the basis of the amount established in the con-
tract of sale.
Inventories  include  environmental  certificates  (for  exam-
ple,  green  certificates,  energy  efficiency  certificates  and 
European  CO2  emissions  allowances  and  guarantees  of 
origin  and  renewable  energy  certificates)  not  used  for 
compliance in the reporting period. These inventories are 
allocated  to  different  portfolios,  distinguishing  between 
those held for trading or non-trading purposes. For more 
details on inventories, please see note 58 “Environmental 
programs”.
Materials and other consumables (including energy com-
modities) held for use in production are not written down 
if it is expected that the final product in which they will be 
incorporated will be sold at a price sufficient to enable re-
covery of the cost incurred.

Financial instruments
Financial instruments are recognized and measured in ac-
cordance  with  “IAS  32  -  Financial  Instruments:  Presenta-
tion“ and “IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments“.
A financial asset or liability is recognized in the consolidated 
financial statements when, and only when, the Group be-
comes party to the contractual provision of the instrument 
(i.e. the trade date).
Trade receivables arising from contracts with customers, in 
the scope of IFRS 15, are initially measured at their trans-
action  price  (as  defined  in  IFRS  15)  if  such  receivables  do 
not contain a significant financing component or when the 
Group applies the practical expedient allowed by IFRS 15.
Conversely,  the  Group  initially  measures  financial  assets 
other than the above-mentioned trade receivables at their 
fair  value  plus,  in  the  case  of  a  financial  asset  not  mea-
sured at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs. 
Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as fi-
nancial assets at amortized cost, at fair value through oth-
er comprehensive income and at fair value through profit 
or loss, on the basis of both:
•  the Group’s business model for managing financial as-
sets,  that  is  the  way  in  which  the  Group  manages  its 
financial assets in order to generate cash flows (i.e. col-
lecting contractual cash flows, selling the financial as-
sets, or both); and

•  the contractual cash flow characteristics of the instru-
ment, to determine whether the instrument gives rise 
to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and 
interest based on the SPPI test.

For  purposes  of  subsequent  measurement,  financial  as-
sets are classified in four categories:

•  financial  assets  measured  at  amortized  cost  (debt  in-

struments);

•  financial  assets  at  fair  value  through  OCI  with  reclas-
sification  of  cumulative  gains  and  losses  (debt  instru-
ments);

•  financial  assets  designated  at  fair  value  through  OCI 
with no reclassification of cumulative gains and losses 
upon derecognition (equity instruments); and
•  financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial assets measured at amortized cost
This category mainly includes trade receivables, other fi-
nancial assets and loan assets.
Financial assets at amortized cost are held within a busi-
ness model whose objective is to hold financial assets in 
order  to  collect  contractual  cash  flows  and  whose  con-
tractual terms give rise, on specified dates, to cash flows 
that  are  solely  payments  of  principal  and  interest  on  the 
principal amount outstanding. 
Such assets are initially recognized at fair value, adjusted 
for any transaction costs, and subsequently measured at 
amortized  cost  using  the  effective  interest  method  and 
are subject to impairment.
Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the 
asset is derecognized, modified or impaired.

Financial assets at fair value through other 
comprehensive income (FVOCI) – Debt instruments
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive 
income  are  assets  held  within  a  business  model  whose 
objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash 
flows  and  selling  financial  assets  and  whose  contractual 
cash flows give rise, on specified dates, to cash flows that 
are solely payments of principal and interest on the princi-
pal amount outstanding. 
Changes in fair value for these financial assets are recog-
nized  in  other  comprehensive  income  as  well  as  loss  al-
lowances that do not reduce the carrying amount of the 
financial assets.
When  a  financial  asset  is  derecognized  (e.g.,  at  the  time 
of sale), the cumulative gains and losses previously recog-
nized in equity (except impairment and foreign exchange 
gains and losses to be recognized in profit or loss) are re-
versed to profit or loss.

Financial assets at fair value through other 
comprehensive income (FVOCI) – Equity instruments
This category includes mainly equity investments in other 
entities irrevocably designated as such upon initial recog-
nition.
Gains  and  losses  on  these  financial  assets  are  never  re-
classified to profit or loss. The Group may transfer the cu-
mulative gain or loss within equity. 
Equity  instruments  designated  at  fair  value  through  OCI 
are not subject to impairment testing.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

297

Dividends on such investments are recognized in profit or 
loss  unless  they  clearly  represent  a  recovery  of  a  part  of 
the cost of the investment.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
This category mainly includes: 
•  financial assets with cash flows that are not solely pay-
ments of principal and interest, irrespective of the busi-
ness model; 

•  financial  assets  held  for  trading  because  acquired  or 
held principally for the purpose of selling or repurchas-
ing  in  the  short  term  (i.e.  securities,  financial  invest-
ments in funds, etc.); 

•  derivatives, including separated embedded derivatives, 
held for trading or not designated as effective hedging 
instruments;

•  financial  assets  that  qualify  as  contingent  consider-

ation.

Such  financial  assets  are  initially  recognized  at  fair  value 
with  subsequent  gains  and  losses  from  changes  in  their 
fair value recognized through profit or loss.
This category also includes equity investments which the 
Group had not irrevocably elected to classify at fair value 
through OCI. Dividends on such investments are also rec-
ognized  as  other  income  in  the  income  statement  when 
the right of payment has been established.

Impairment of financial assets
At each reporting date, the Group recognizes a loss allow-
ance for expected credit losses on trade receivables and 
other  financial  assets  measured  at  amortized  cost,  debt 
instruments  measured  at  fair  value  through  other  com-
prehensive income (FVOCI), contract assets and all other 
assets within the scope of IFRS 9.
The impairment model adopted by the Group in compli-
ance with IFRS 9 is based on the determination of expect-
ed credit losses (ECL) using a forward-looking approach. 
For  trade  receivables,  contract  assets  and  lease  receiv-
ables, including those with a significant financial compo-
nent, the Group adopts the simplified approach, determin-
ing expected credit losses over a period corresponding to 
the entire life of the asset, generally equal to 12 months.
For all financial assets other than trade receivables, con-
tract assets and lease receivables, the Group applies the 
general approach under IFRS 9, based on the assessment 
of  a  significant  increase  in  credit  risk  since  initial  recog-
nition. 
The Group recognizes in profit or loss, as an impairment 
gain or loss, the amount of expected credit losses (or re-
versal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the 
reporting date.
The Group applies the low credit risk exemption, avoiding 
the  recognition  of  loss  allowances  at  an  amount  equal  to 
lifetime expected credit losses due to a significant increase 
in  credit  risk  of  debt  securities  at  fair  value  through  OCI, 

whose counterparty has a strong financial capacity to meet 
its contractual cash flow obligations (e.g., investment grade).
For more information on the impairment of financial assets, 
please see note 48 “Financial instruments by category”.

Cash and cash equivalents
This category includes deposits that are available on de-
mand or at very short term, as well as highly liquid short-
term financial investments that are readily convertible into 
a known amount of cash and which are subject to insignif-
icant risk of changes in value. 
In addition, for the purpose of the consolidated statement 
of  cash  flows,  cash  and  cash  equivalents  do  not  include 
bank overdrafts at period-end.

Financial liabilities at amortized cost
This category mainly includes borrowings, trade payables, 
lease liabilities and debt instruments.
Financial liabilities, other than derivatives, are recognized 
when the Group becomes a party to the contractual claus-
es of the instrument and are initially measured at fair val-
ue adjusted for directly attributable transaction costs. Fi-
nancial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized 
cost using the effective interest rate method. The effective 
interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts the estimat-
ed  future  cash  payments  or  receipts  over  the  expected 
life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where 
appropriate, to the carrying amount of the financial asset 
or liability.

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss mainly 
include: 
•  financial liabilities held for trading incurred for the pur-

pose of repurchasing in the near term;

•  derivative  financial  instruments  entered  into  by  the 
Group that are not designated as hedging instruments 
in hedge relationships as defined by IFRS 9;

•  financial liabilities that qualify as contingent consider-

ation.

Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities
Financial  assets  are  derecognized  whenever  one  of  the 
following conditions is met:
•  the contractual right to receive the cash flows associat-

ed with the asset expires; 

•  the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and 
rewards associated with the asset, transferring its rights 
to receive the cash flows of the asset or assuming a con-
tractual obligation to pay such cash flows to one or more 
beneficiaries  under  a  contract  that  meets  the  require-
ments provided by IFRS 9 (the “pass through test”); 
•  the Group has not transferred or retained substantially 
all the risks and rewards associated with the asset but 
has transferred control over the asset.

298 Integrated Annual Report 2023

On  derecognition  of  a  financial  asset,  the  Group  recog-
nizes the difference between the carrying amount (mea-
sured at the date of derecognition) and the consideration 
received through profit or loss.
Financial liabilities are derecognized when they are extin-
guished, i.e. when the contractual obligation has been dis-
charged, cancelled or expired.
When  an  existing  financial  liability  is  replaced  by  anoth-
er from the same lender on substantially different terms, 
or the terms of an existing liability are substantially mod-
ified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the 
derecognition of the original liability and the recognition 
of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying 
amounts is recognized in profit or loss.

Derivative financial instruments
Derivative  instruments  are  classified  as  financial  assets  or 
liabilities  depending  on  the  positive  or  negative  fair  value 
and  they  are  classified  as  “held  for  trading”  within  “Other 
business models” and measured at fair value through profit 
or  loss,  except  for  those  designated  as  effective  hedging 
instruments.
All derivatives held for trading are classified as current as-
sets or liabilities.
Derivatives not held for trading purposes, but measured at 
fair value through profit or loss since they do not qualify for 
hedge accounting, and derivatives designated as effective 
hedging instruments are classified as current or not current 
on the basis of their maturity date and the Group intention 
to hold the financial instrument till maturity or not.
For  more  details  on  derivatives  and  hedge  accounting, 
please see note 51 “Derivatives and hedge accounting”.

Embedded derivatives 
An embedded derivative is a derivative included in a “com-
bined”  contract  (the  so-called  “hybrid  instrument”)  that 
contains  another  non-derivative  contract  (the  so-called 
”host contract”) and gives rise to some or all of the com-
bined  contract’s  cash  flows.  Embedded  derivatives  are 
separated  from  the  host  contract  and  accounted  for  as 
derivatives when:
•  the  host  contract  is  not  a  financial  instrument  mea-

sured at fair value through profit or loss;

•  the economic risks and characteristics of the embed-
ded  derivative  are  not  closely  related  to  those  of  the 
host contract;

•  a separate contract with the same terms as the embed-
ded derivative would meet the definition of a derivative.
Embedded  derivatives  that  are  separated  from  the  host 
contract  are  recognized  in  the  consolidated  financial 
statements at fair value with changes recognized in profit 
or loss (except when the embedded derivative is part of a 
designated hedge relationship).
Contracts  that  do  not  represent  financial  instruments  to 
be measured at fair value are analyzed in order to identify 

any embedded derivatives, which are to be separated and 
measured at fair value. This analysis is performed when the 
Group becomes party to the contract or when the contract 
is renegotiated in a manner that significantly changes the 
original associated cash flows.
The main Group contracts that may contain embedded de-
rivatives are contracts to buy or sell energy commodities.

Contracts to buy or sell non-financial items
In general, contracts to buy or sell non-financial items that 
are  entered  into  and  continue  to  be  held  for  receipt  or 
delivery in accordance with the Group’s normal expected 
purchase, sale or usage requirements are out of the scope 
of IFRS 9 and then recognized as executory contracts, in 
accordance with the “own use exemption”.
A contract to buy or sell non-financial items is classified as 
“normal purchase or sale” if it is entered into:
•  for the purpose of the physical settlement;
•  in accordance with the entity’s expected purchase, sale 

or usage requirements.

Moreover, contracts to buy or sell non-financial items with 
physical settlement (for example, fixed-price forward con-
tracts on energy commodities) that do not qualify for the 
own  use  exemption  are  recognized  as  derivatives  mea-
sured at fair value from the trade date only if:
•  they can be settled net in cash; and
•  they are not entered into in accordance with the Group’s 

expected purchase, sale or usage requirements.

Trading contracts are valued at fair value through profit or 
loss; the results of the measurement of changes in the fair 
value  of  contracts  still  outstanding  at  the  reporting  date 
are recognized on a net basis under the item “Net results 
from commodity contracts”, while at the settlement date:
•  the results of the measurement of changes in the fair 
value of closed contracts for the sale of energy com-
modities  as  well  as  the  related  revenue,  together  with 
the impact on profit or loss of the derecognition of the 
derivative,  are  recognized  under  “Revenue  from  sales 
and services”;

•  the results of the measurement of changes in the fair 
value  of  closed  contracts  for  the  purchase  of  energy 
commodities as well as the related cost, together with 
the impact on profit or loss of the derecognition of the 
derivative,  are  recognized  under  “Electricity,  gas  and 
fuel” and “Services and other materials”.

Contracts  to  buy  or  sell  non-financial  items  falling  with-
in the scope of application of IFRS 9 can also be subse-
quently designated as hedging instruments if they satisfy 
the requirements for hedge accounting.
The  Group  analyzes  all  contracts  to  buy  or  sell  non-fi-
nancial assets on an ongoing basis, with a specific focus 
on forward purchases and sales of electricity and energy 
commodities, in order to determine if they shall be classi-
fied and treated in accordance with IFRS 9 or if they have 
been entered into for “own use”.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

299

Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities
The Group offsets financial assets and liabilities when it:
•  currently  has  a  legally  enforceable  right  to  set  off  the 

recognized amounts; and 

•  intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the 

asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Hyperinflation
Pursuant  to  IAS  29,  in  a  hyperinflationary  economy,  the 
Group adjusts non-monetary items, equity and items de-
riving from index-linked contracts up to the limit of recov-
erable amount, using a price index that reflects changes in 
general purchasing power. 
The effects of initial application are recognized in equity 
net  of  tax  effects.  Conversely,  during  the  hyperinflation-
ary period (until it ceases), the gain or loss resulting from 
adjustments is recognized in profit or loss and disclosed 
separately in financial income and expense. 
These provisions are applied to the Group’s transactions in 
Argentina, whose economy has been declared hyperinfla-
tionary since July 1, 2018. 

Non-current assets (or disposal groups) 
classified as held for sale and discontinued 
operations
Pursuant to IFRS 5, non-current assets (or disposal groups) 
are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will 
be recovered principally through a sale transaction, rather 
than through continuing use.
This  classification  criterion 
is  applicable  only  when 
non-current  assets  (or  disposal  groups)  are  available  in 
their present condition for immediate sale and the sale is 
highly probable.
For  more  details  on  the  requirements  for  determining 
whether a sale is highly probable, please see note 2.1 “Use 
of estimates and management judgment”.
If the Group is committed to a sale program involving loss 
of  control  of  a  subsidiary  and  the  requirements  provid-
ed  for  under  IFRS  5  are  met,  all  the  assets  and  liabilities 
of that subsidiary are classified as held for sale when the 
classification  criteria  are  met,  regardless  of  whether  the 
Group  will  retain  a  non-controlling  interest  in  its  former 
subsidiary after the sale.
The  Group  applies  these  classification  criteria  as  envis-
aged in IFRS 5 to an investment, or a portion of an invest-
ment, in an associate or a joint venture. Any retained por-
tion of an investment in an associate or a joint venture that 
has  not  been  classified  as  held  for  sale  is  accounted  for 
using the equity method until disposal of the portion that 
is classified as held for sale takes place.
Non-current  assets  (or  disposal  groups)  and  liabilities  of 
disposal  groups  classified  as  held  for  sale  are  presented 
separately from other assets and liabilities in the consoli-

dated statement of financial position.
The amounts presented for non-current assets or for the 
assets and liabilities of disposal groups classified as held 
for sale are not reclassified or re-presented for prior peri-
ods presented.
Immediately before the initial classification of non-current 
assets  (or  disposal  groups)  as  held  for  sale,  the  carrying 
amounts of such assets (or disposal groups) are measured 
in accordance with the accounting standard applicable to 
those assets or liabilities. Non-current assets (or dispos-
al groups) classified as held for sale are measured at the 
lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to 
sell. Impairment losses for any initial or subsequent write-
down of the assets (or disposal groups) to fair value less 
costs to sell and gains for their reversals are recognized in 
profit or loss from continuing operations.
Non-current  assets  are  not  depreciated  (or  amortized) 
while they are classified as held for sale or while they are 
part of a disposal group classified as held for sale.
If a component of the Group is a discontinued operation, 
the Group presents, in a separate line item of the income 
statement, a single amount comprising the total of:
•  the post-tax profit or loss of discontinued operations; 

and

•  the post-tax gain or loss recognized on the measure-
ment at fair value less costs to sell or on the disposal of 
the assets or disposal groups constituting the discon-
tinued operation.

The  corresponding  amount  is  restated  in  the  income 
statement  for  prior  periods  presented  in  the  financial 
statements, so that the disclosures relate to all operations 
that  are  discontinued  by  the  end  of  the  current  report-
ing  period.  If  the  Group  ceases  to  classify  a  component 
as held for sale, the results of the component previously 
presented in discontinued operations are reclassified and 
included in profit or loss from continuing operations for all 
periods presented.

Environmental certificates
In the absence of specific IAS/IFRS rules, the accounting 
treatment adopted by the Group complies with the gen-
eral rules included in the body of applicable IAS/IFRS ac-
counting standards and with international best practice.
In  particular,  the  Group  accounting  treatment  of  envi-
ronmental certificates reflects the business model of the 
entities  involved  and,  therefore,  the  different  features  of 
the  business  conducted  by  these  entities,  distinguishing 
between  those  that  generate  electricity  from  renewable 
sources, obligated parties, traders and other entities that 
operate  in  the  energy  services  sector  even  though  they 
are not obligated parties.
Further details on the application of this accounting model 
are provided in note 58 “Environmental programs”.

Employee benefits

Post-employment and other long-term benefits
Pursuant to IAS 19, the Group determines separately for 
each plan liabilities related to employee benefits paid upon 
or after ceasing employment or other long-term benefits 
accrued during the employment period. The Group uses 
actuarial assumptions to estimate the amount of the fu-
ture benefits that employees have accrued at the report-
ing date (using the projected unit credit method) and an 
appropriate discount rate to determine the present value 
of those plans. 
The  liability,  net  of  any  plan  assets,  is  recognized  on  an 
accrual basis over the vesting period of the related rights. 
These  appraisals  are  performed  by  independent  actuar-
ies.
If the plan assets exceed the present value of the related 
defined benefit obligation, the surplus (up to the limit of 
any cap) is recognized as an asset.
As regards the liabilities/(assets) of defined benefit plans, 
the Group recognizes the cumulative actuarial gains and 
losses  from  the  actuarial  measurement  of  the  liabilities, 
the  return  on  the  plan  assets  (net  of  the  associated  in-
terest income) and the effect of the asset ceiling (net of 
the  associated  interest)  in  other  comprehensive  income 
when  they  occur.  For  other  long-term  benefits,  the  re-
lated  actuarial  gains  and  losses  are  recognized  through 
profit or loss.
In addition, the Group is involved in defined contribution 
plans under which it pays fixed contributions to a sepa-
rate  entity  (a  fund)  and  has  no  legal  or  constructive  ob-
ligation to pay further contributions if the fund does not 
hold sufficient assets to pay all employee benefits relating 
to employee service in the current and prior periods. Such 
plans  are  usually  aimed  to  supplement  pension  benefits 
due  to  employees  post-employment.  The  related  costs 
are recognized through profit or loss on the basis of the 
amount of contributions paid in the period.

Termination benefits
Pursuant to IAS 19, liabilities for benefits due to employees 
for the early termination of employee service arise out of 
the Group’s decision to terminate an employee’s employ-
ment before the normal retirement date or an employee’s 
decision to accept an offer of benefits in exchange for the 
termination of employment. 
Termination benefits are recognized at the earlier of the 
following dates: 
•  when  the  entity  can  no  longer  withdraw  its  offer  of 

benefits; and 

•  when  the  entity  recognizes  a  cost  for  a  restructuring 
that is within the scope of IAS 37 and involves the pay-
ment of termination benefits.

The liabilities are measured on the basis of the nature of 
the employee benefits. 

Share-based payments
The  Group  undertakes  share-based  payment  transac-
tions settled with equity instruments as part of the remu-
neration  policy  adopted  for  the  Chief  Executive  Officer/
General Manager and for key management personnel.
The  most  recent  long-term  incentive  plans  provide  for 
the grant to recipients of an incentive represented by an 
equity component (settled with equity instruments) and a 
monetary  component  (paid  in  cash),  which  will  accrue  if 
specific conditions are met. 
Pursuant  to  IFRS  2,  the  Group  classifies  the  monetary 
component as a cash-settled transaction if it is based on 
the price (or value) of the equity instruments of the com-
pany  that  issued  the  plan  or,  in  other  cases,  as  another 
long-term employee benefit.
In order to settle the equity component through the bo-
nus award of Enel shares, a program for the purchase of 
treasury shares to support these plans was approved. For 
more details on share-based incentive plans, please see 
note 53 “Share-based payments”.
In particular for the equity component, the Group recog-
nizes  the  services  rendered  by  employees  as  personnel 
expenses over the period in which the conditions for re-
maining in service and for achieving certain results must 
be satisfied (vesting period) and indirectly estimates their 
value, and the corresponding increase in a specific equity 
item,  on  the  basis  of  the  fair  value  of  the  equity  instru-
ments (i.e. the issuer shares) at the grant date. 
The  overall  expense  recognized  is  adjusted  at  each  re-
porting  date  until  the  vesting  date  to  reflect  the  best 
estimate available to the Group of the number of equity 
instruments for which the service and performance con-
ditions other than market conditions or non-vesting con-
ditions will be satisfied at the end of the vesting period.
Conversely, if the incentive based on equity instruments is 
paid in cash, the Group recognizes the services rendered 
by  employees  as  personnel  expenses  over  the  vesting 
period and a corresponding liability measured at the fair 
value  of  the  liability  incurred.  Subsequently,  and  until  its 
extinction, the liability is remeasured at fair value at each 
reporting date, considering the best possible estimate of 
the incentive that will vest, with changes in fair value rec-
ognized under personnel expenses. 

Provisions for risks and charges
Pursuant to IAS 37, provisions are recognized where there 
is a legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past 
event at the end of the reporting period, the settlement 
of  which  is  expected  to  result  in  an  outflow  of  resourc-
es  whose  amount  can  be  reliably  estimated.  Where  the 

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

301

impact of the time value of money is material, the accru-
als  are  determined  by  discounting  expected  future  cash 
flows using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the cur-
rent market assessment of the time value of money and, if 
applicable, the risks specific to the liability.
If the provision is discounted, the periodic adjustment of 
the  present  value  for  the  time  factor  is  recognized  as  a 
financial expense.
When the Group expects some or all charges to be reim-
bursed,  the  reimbursement  is  recognized  as  a  separate 
asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain.
Where the liability relates to decommissioning and/or site 
restoration in respect of property, plant and equipment, the 
initial recognition of the provision is made against the relat-
ed asset and the expense is then recognized in profit or loss 
through the depreciation of the asset involved.
Where the liability regards the treatment and storage of nu-
clear waste and other radioactive materials, the provision is 
recognized against the related operating costs. 
A liability for restructuring refers to a program planned and 
controlled  by  management  that  materially  changes  the 
scope of a business undertaken by the Group or the man-
ner  in  which  the  business  is  conducted.  Such  a  liability  is 
recognized  when  a  constructive  obligation  is  established, 
i.e. when the Group has approved a detailed formal restruc-
turing  plan  and  has  started  to  implement  the  plan  or  has 
announced its main features to those affected by it.
Provisions do not include liabilities in respect of uncertain 
income tax treatments that are recognized as tax liabilities.
The  Group  could  provide  a  warranty  in  connection  with 
the  sale  of  a  product  (whether  a  good  or  service)  from 
contracts with customers in the scope of IFRS 15, in ac-
cordance with the contract, the law or its customary busi-
ness practices. In this case, the Group assesses whether 
the  warranty  provides  the  customer  with  assurance  that 
the  related  product  will  function  as  the  parties  intended 
because  it  complies  with  agreed-upon  specifications  or 
whether  the  warranty  provides  the  customer  with  a  ser-
vice  in  addition  to  the  assurance  that  the  product  com-
plies with agreed-upon specifications.
After  the  assessment,  if  the  Group  establishes  that  an 
assurance  warranty  is  provided,  it  recognizes  a  separate 
warranty liability and corresponding expense when trans-
ferring the product to the customer, as additional costs of 
providing goods or services, without attributing any of the 
transaction price (and therefore revenue) to the warranty. 
The liability is measured and presented as a provision.
Otherwise, if the Group determines that a service warran-
ty is provided, it accounts for the promised warranty as a 
performance obligation in accordance with IFRS 15, rec-
ognizing the contract liability as revenue over the period 
the warranty service is provided and the costs associated 
as they are incurred.
Finally, if the warranty includes both an assurance element 
and a  service element and the Group cannot reasonably 

account for them separately, then it accounts for both of 
the  warranties  together  as  a  single  performance  obliga-
tion.
Changes  in  estimates  of  accruals  to  the  provisions  ad-
dressed here are recognized through profit or loss in the 
period in which the changes occur, with the exception of 
those  in  the  costs  of  decommissioning,  retiring  and/or 
restoration  resulting  from  changes  in  the  timetable  and 
costs  necessary  to  extinguish  the  obligation  or  from  a 
change  in  the  discount  rate.  These  changes  increase  or 
decrease  the  carrying  amount  of  the  related  assets  and 
are  taken  to  profit  or  loss  through  depreciation.  Where 
they increase the carrying amount of the assets, it is also 
determined whether the new carrying amount of the as-
sets is fully recoverable. If this is not the case, a loss equal 
to the unrecoverable amount is recognized through profit 
or loss. 
Decreases in estimates are recognized up to the carrying 
amount of the assets. Any excess is recognized immedi-
ately in profit or loss.
For  more  information  on  the  estimation  criteria  adopted 
in  determining  provisions  for  retiring  and/or  restoration 
of  property,  plant  and  equipment,  especially  those  asso-
ciated  with  decommissioning  nuclear  power  plants  and 
storage  of  waste  fuel  and  other  radioactive  materials, 
please  see  note  2.1  “Use  of  estimates  and  management 
judgment”.

Revenue from contracts with customers
The  Group recognizes  revenue  from  contracts  with cus-
tomers  at  an  amount  that  reflects  the  consideration  at 
which  the  Group  expects  to  be  entitled  in  exchange  for 
those goods or services, using the five-step model envis-
aged by IFRS 15: 
•  identify the contract with the customer;
•  identify  the  performance  obligations  in  the  contract, 
that is, all goods or services promised in the contract;
•  determine  the  transaction  price  at  inception  of  the 
contract considering any variable considerations, non-
cash  consideration  received  from  a  customer  or  pay-
able to the customer, significant financing components;
•  allocate the transaction price, at contract inception, to 

each separate performance obligation;

•  recognize revenue, when (or as) each performance obli-
gation is satisfied by transferring the promised good or 
service to the customer.

The  Group  does  not  disclose  the  information  about  the 
remaining performance obligations in existing contracts if 
the performance obligation is part of a contract that has 
an original expected duration of one year or less and if the 
Group recognizes revenue in the amount to which it has a 
right to invoice the customer. 

More information on the application of this revenue rec-
ognition  model  is provided in  note  2.1  “Use  of  estimates 

302 Integrated Annual Report 2023

and  management  judgment”  and  in  note  11.a  “Revenue 
from sales and services”. 

Other revenue
The  Group  recognizes  revenue  other  than  that  deriving 
from contracts with customers mainly referring to:
•  revenue from the sale of energy commodities based on 
contracts with physical settlement, which do not qualify 
for the own use exemption and therefore is recognized 
at FVTPL in accordance with IFRS 9;

•  changes in the fair value of settled contracts to sell en-
ergy  commodities  with  physical  settlement,  which  do 
not  qualify  for  the  own  use  exemption  and  therefore 
are recognized at FVTPL in accordance with IFRS 9;
•  operating  lease  revenue  accounted  for  on  an  accrual 
basis in accordance with the substance of the relevant 
lease agreement.

IAS  20,  government  grants, 

Other operating income
Other  operating  income  primarily  includes  gains  on  dis-
posal of assets that are not an output of the Group’s ordi-
nary activities and government grants.
Pursuant  to 
including 
non-monetary grants at fair value, are recognized where 
there  is  reasonable  assurance  that  they  will  be  received 
and that the Group will comply with all conditions attach-
ing to them as set by the government, government agen-
cies and similar bodies whether local, national or interna-
tional.
When loans are provided by governments at a below-mar-
ket  rate  of  interest,  the  benefit  is  regarded  as  a  govern-
ment grant. The loan is initially recognized and measured 
at fair value and the government grant is measured as the 
difference between the initial carrying amount of the loan 
and  the  funds  received.  The  loan  is  subsequently  mea-
sured  in  accordance  with  the  requirements  for  financial 
liabilities.
Government  grants  are  recognized  in  profit  or  loss  on  a 
systematic basis over the periods in which the Group rec-
ognizes as expenses the costs that the grants are intend-
ed to compensate.
A government grant received to compensate for costs or 
losses  already  incurred,  or  for  the  purpose  of  providing 
immediate financial support to the Group without related 
future costs, is recognized as income in the year in which 
it becomes enforceable.
When government grants are received to purchase, build 
or otherwise acquire non-current assets (for example, an 
item of property, plant and equipment or an intangible as-
set), they are deducted from the carrying amount of the 
asset and are recognized in profit or loss over the depre-
ciable/amortizable  life  of  the  asset  as  a  reduction  in  the 
depreciation/amortization  charge.  If  there  is  insufficient 
information  to  enable  adequate  attribution  to  the  fixed 
assets  to  which  they  refer,  capital  grants  are  recognized 

as deferred income under other liabilities, and credited to 
profit or loss on a systematic basis over the useful life of 
the asset. If a government grant is made in a period sub-
sequent  to  that  in  which  the  depreciation  of  the  assets 
began, the portion of the grant corresponding to the de-
preciation  recognized  in  previous  periods  is  recognized 
directly in profit or loss.
Where the Group receives government grants in the form 
of a transfer of a non-monetary asset for the use of the 
Group, it accounts for both the grant and the asset at the 
fair value of the non-monetary asset received at the date 
of the transfer. 

Net results from commodity contracts
The net results from commodity contracts include:
•  the  net  income  or  expense  from  commodity  deriv-
atives,  including  derivatives  designated  as  cash  flow 
hedges and derivatives measured at fair value through 
profit or loss, whether settled or outstanding at the re-
porting date; and

•  the net gain/(loss) from the measurement through prof-
it or loss of energy commodity contracts with physical 
settlement still outstanding at the reporting date.

Dividends
Pursuant to “IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments“, dividends are 
recognized  when  the  unconditional  right  to  receive  pay-
ment is established.
Dividends  and  interim  dividends  payable  to  the  Parent’s 
shareholders  and  non-controlling  interests  are  recog-
nized as changes in equity in the period in which they are 
approved by the Shareholders’ Meeting and the Board of 
Directors, respectively.

Income taxes
IAS  12  specifies  the  requirements  for  the  recognition  of 
current and deferred tax assets and liabilities. The uncer-
tainty  in  the  determination  of  tax  liabilities  is  defined  in 
accordance with the provisions of “IFRIC 23 - Uncertainty 
over Income Tax Treatments“.

Current income taxes
Current  income  taxes  for  the  year,  which  are  recognized 
under “Income tax liabilities” net of payments on account, 
or  under  “Tax  assets”  where  there  is  a  credit  balance,  are 
determined  using  an  estimate  of  taxable  income  and  in 
conformity with the applicable regulations.
Such  liabilities  and  assets  are  determined  using  the  tax 
rates and tax laws that are enacted or substantively enact-
ed by the end of the reporting period in the countries where 
taxable income has been generated.
Current income taxes are recognized in profit or loss with 
the exception of current income taxes related to items rec-
ognized outside profit or loss that are recognized in equity.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

303

Deferred tax
Deferred  tax  liabilities  and  assets  are  calculated  on  the 
temporary  differences  between  the  carrying  amounts  of 
liabilities and assets in the financial statements and their 
corresponding  amounts  recognized  for  tax  purposes  on 
the basis of tax rates in effect on the date the temporary 
difference will reverse, which is determined on the basis of 
tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted as at 
the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable tem-
porary  differences,  except  when  such  liability  arises:  (i) 
from  the  initial  recognition  of  goodwill;  or  (ii)  from  the 
initial recognition of an asset or a liability in a transaction 
which  is  not  a  business  combination  and,  at  the  time  of 
the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor tax-
able profit (tax loss); and does not give rise to equal taxable 
and  deductible  temporary  differences;  or  (iii)  in  respect 
of  taxable  temporary  differences  associated  with  invest-
ments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, when 
the  Group  can  control  the  timing  of  the  reversal  of  the 
temporary differences and it is probable that the tempo-
rary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible tem-
porary differences, the carry forward of tax losses and any 
unused tax credits. For more information concerning the 
recoverability  of  such  assets,  please  see  the  appropriate 
section of the discussion of estimates. 
Deferred  taxes  and  liabilities  are  recognized  in  profit  or 
loss, with the exception of those in respect of items rec-
ognized outside profit or loss that are recognized in eq-
uity.

Deferred  tax  assets  and  deferred  tax  liabilities  are  offset 
only if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current 
tax assets with current tax liabilities and when they relate 
to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on 
either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities 
which intend either to settle current tax liabilities and as-
sets on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the 
liabilities  simultaneously,  in  each  future  period  in  which 
significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are 
expected to be settled or recovered.

Uncertainty over income tax treatments
In defining “uncertainty“, it shall be considered whether a 
particular  tax  treatment  will  be  accepted  by  the  relevant 
taxation  authority.  If  it  is  deemed  probable  that  the  tax 
treatment will be accepted (where the term “probable“ is 
defined as “more likely than not“), then the Group recog-
nizes and measures its current/deferred tax asset or liabil-
ities applying the requirements in IAS 12. 
Conversely, when the Group feels that it is not likely that 
the taxation authority will accept the tax treatment for in-
come tax purposes, the Group reflects the uncertainty in 
the manner that best predicts the resolution of the uncer-
tain tax treatment. 
For more information on uncertainty over tax treatments, 
please  see  note  2.1  “Use  of  estimates  and  management 
judgment”. 
Since uncertain income tax positions meet the definition 
of income taxes, the Group presents uncertain tax liabili-
ties/assets as current tax liabilities/assets or deferred tax 
liabilities/assets.

304 Integrated Annual Report 2023

3. New and amended standards and interpretations

The Group has applied the following standards, interpre-
tations and amendments that took effect as from January 
1, 2023.
•  “Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2 
– Disclosure of Accounting Policies”, issued in February 
2021. The amendments are intended to provide support 
in deciding which policies to disclose. In this regard: 
 – the amendments to “IAS 1 - Presentation of Finan-
cial  Statements”  require  disclosures  of  “material” 
accounting policies rather than “significant” policies;
 – the  amendments  to  “IFRS  Practice  Statement  2  - 
Making Materiality Judgements” are intended to pro-
vide guidance on how to apply the concept of mate-
riality to accounting policy disclosures. 

In  the  absence  of  an  IFRS  definition  of  “significant”  in 
the context of disclosures on accounting policies, the 
term  has  been  replaced  with  “material”.  The  definition 
of material was modified in October 2018, and aligned 
with  the  IFRS  and  the  Conceptual  Framework  and, 
therefore, is widely understood by primary users of fi-
nancial statements. In accordance with IAS 1, informa-
tion on accounting policies is material if, either individ-
ually or in combination with other information, it could 
reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the 
primary users of the financial statements make on the 
basis of such financial statements. When assessing the 
materiality of the disclosures on accounting policies, it 
is  appropriate  to  consider  both  the  magnitude  of  the 
transactions, other events or conditions, and their na-
ture.  However,  although  a  transaction,  other  event  or 
condition to which the disclosures on accounting poli-
cies refer may be material, this does not imply that the 
corresponding information is material for the purposes 
of the financial statements. In this context, the amend-
ments to the IFRS Practice Statement 2 seek to provide 
guidance  on  how  to  determine  whether  disclosure  of 
an accounting policy is material for financial statement 
purposes.  These  amendments  aim  to:  (i)  clarify  that 
materiality judgments about disclosures of accounting 
policies should follow the same guidance in materiality 
judgments about other information, therefore consid-
ering  both  qualitative  and  quantitative  factors;  (ii)  un-
derscore  the  importance  of  providing  information  on 
accounting policies that is specific to the Group; and (iii) 
provide examples of situations where generic or stan-
dardized  information,  although  summarizing  or  dupli-
cating the requirements of the IFRS, can be considered 
disclosure of material accounting policies.
The  disclosures  on  accounting  policies  have  been  re-
vised  in  line  with  the  requirements  established  by  the 
amendments and have been updated in note 2.2 “Ma-
terial accounting policies”.

•  “Amendments  to  IAS  8  –  Definition  of  Accounting  Es-
timates”,  issued  in  February  2021.  The  amendments 
clarify  how  companies  should  distinguish  changes  in 
accounting  policies  from  changes  in  accounting  es-
timates.  The  definition  of  changes  in  accounting  esti-
mates has been replaced with a definition of account-
ing estimates as “monetary amounts in financial state-
ments that are subject to measurement uncertainty”. In 
order to clarify the interaction between an accounting 
policy  and  an  accounting  estimate,  IAS  8  has  been 
amended to state that an accounting standard may re-
quire certain financial statement items to be measured 
at monetary amounts that cannot be directly observed, 
and  therefore  must  be  estimated  (since  they  involve 
uncertainty in the measurement). In such circumstanc-
es, accounting estimates are developed to achieve the 
objective  set  out  by  the  accounting  policy,  including 
the  use  of  judgments  and  assumptions  based  on  the 
latest  available,  reliable  information.  The  amendments 
explain how measurement techniques and inputs must 
be  used  to  develop  accounting  estimates  and  estab-
lish  that  measurement  techniques  include  estimation 
techniques.  In  order  to  provide  greater  guidance,  the 
amendments clarify that the effects on an accounting 
estimate of a change in an input or a change in a mea-
surement  technique  are  changes  in  accounting  esti-
mates  unless  they  result  from  the  correction  of  prior 
period errors. Changes in accounting estimates result-
ing from new information are not corrections of errors.
The  application  of  the  amendments  did  not  have  a 
material impact on these consolidated financial state-
ments.

•  “Amendments  to  IAS  12  -  Income  Taxes:  Deferred  Tax 
related  to  Assets  and  Liabilities  arising  from  a  Single 
Transaction”,  issued  in  May  2021.  The  amendments 
clarify that the exemption from initial recognition pro-
vided for by the standard no longer applies to transac-
tions that give rise to taxable and deductible temporary 
differences of the same amount.
In  general,  the  initial  recognition  exemption  provided 
for by IAS 12 prohibits the recognition of deferred as-
sets  and  liabilities  in  respect  of  the  initial  recognition 
of  assets  or  liabilities  in  a  transaction  that  does  not 
constitute a business combination and affects neither 
accounting  profit  nor  taxable  profit.  As  illustrated,  the 
amendments  have  narrowed  the  scope  of  the  excep-
tion.
For  transactions  (e.g.,  leases  and  decommissioning  li-
abilities)  subject  to  the  amendments,  the  related  de-
ferred assets and liabilities shall be recognized from the 
beginning  of  the  first  comparative  period  presented, 
with any cumulative effect recognized as an adjustment

to  retained  earnings  (or  other  components  of  equity) 
as  at  that  date.  In  this  regard,  the  application  of  the 
amendments did not produce a material impact on re-
tained earnings in the opening equity of the Enel Group 
at January 1, 2022.

•  “Amendments  to  IAS  12  –  International  Tax  Reform  – 
Pillar  II  Model  Rules”,  issued  in  May  2023.  The  chang-
es were introduced in response to the Pillar II rules is-
sued  by  the  OECD,  the  aim  of  which  is  to  ensure  that 
large multinational enterprises pay a minimum level of 
income tax, generated in a specific period, in each ju-
risdiction in which they operate. In general, these rules 
require the application of a top-up tax that brings the 
total amount of taxes paid in each jurisdiction in which 
they operate to a minimum of 15%.
The changes introduced:
 – a mandatory temporary exception to the accounting 
for and disclosure of deferred tax assets and liabil-
ities  arising  from  the  implementation  of  the  Pillar  II 
rules; and

 – disclosure requirements to help users of the finan-
cial statements better understand an entity’s expo-
sure to income taxes arising from the rule.

In  particular,  for  periods  in  which  Pillar  II  legislation  is 
enacted  but  not  yet  in  effect,  the  entity  shall  disclose 
qualitative  information  (such  as  information  regarding 
how the entity is affected by Pillar II rules and the main 
jurisdictions in which exposures might exist) and quan-
titative  information  (such  as  indicating  the  portion  of 
profits that could be subject to Pillar II income taxes and 

4. Minimum tax

the average effective tax rate applicable to such profits; 
or indicating how the entity’s average effective tax rate 
would  have  changed  if  Pillar  II  legislation  had  been  in 
effect).
The Group has adopted the mandatory temporary ex-
ception to the recognition of deferred taxation, which 
applies retrospectively. However, since as at December 
31, 2022 no new rule for the application of the top-up 
tax had yet been issued in any jurisdiction in which the 
Group operates and no related deferred tax had been 
recognized  as  of  that  date,  retrospective  application 
has had no impact on the Group’s consolidated finan-
cial statements.
For  more  information  on  the  disclosure  requirements, 
please see note 4 “Minimum tax“.

•  “IFRS 17 – Insurance Contracts”, issued in May 2017. The 
new  standard  was  issued  by  the  IASB  to  replace  IFRS 
4,  defining  the  principles  for  the  recognition,  mea-
surement,  presentation  and  disclosure  of  insurance 
contracts,  including  reinsurance  contracts  issued  and 
held and investment contracts with discretionary par-
ticipation  features.  The  standard  applies  to  insurance 
contracts  compliant  with  the  definition  of  IFRS  17,  re-
gardless of the issuer, but includes various exceptions 
and exemption options that allow certain types of con-
tracts that meet the definition of insurance contract to 
be accounted for by applying another standard. Based 
on  the  analysis  performed,  the  new  standard  has  had 
no impact on the Group’s consolidated financial state-
ments. 

The Pillar II - Global Anti-Base Erosion Model Rules (GloBE 
Rules),  which  are  intended  to  ensure  that  large  multina-
tional  enterprises  pay  a  minimum  level  of  income  tax  in 
each jurisdiction in which they operate, have been enact-
ed or substantially enacted in certain jurisdictions in which 
the Enel Group operates. In general, the rules envisage the 
application of a “top-up” tax to the excess profit in a juris-
diction to bring the effective tax rate on that income up to 
a minimum of 15%.
For this purpose, the Group has conducted an assessment 
of  its  potential  exposure  to  the  top-up  tax  in  such  juris-
dictions, which found that there are a limited number  of 
circumstances in which the effective tax rate is below 15%.

On the basis of this assessment, the potential top-up tax 
that the Enel Group will have to pay as the difference be-
tween  the  effective  tax  rates  calculated  per  jurisdiction 
based  on  the  GloBE  Rules  and  the  minimum  rate  of  15% 
will not have a significant impact.
In application of the provisions of the amendment of “IAS 
12  -  International  Tax  Reform  –  Pillar  II  Model  Rules”,  the 
Group has applied the mandatory temporary exemption to 
requirements regarding deferred taxes deriving from the 
application of Pillar II. The Group will recognize the taxes 
emerging from the application of the rules as current tax-
es when they are incurred (see note 25 “Deferred tax as-
sets and liabilities”).

5. Argentina – Hyperinflationary economy:  
impact of the application of IAS 29

As from July 1, 2018, the Argentine economy has been con-
sidered hyperinflationary based on the criteria established by 
“IAS 29 – Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies”. 
This designation is determined following an assessment of a 
series of qualitative and quantitative circumstances, including 
the presence of a cumulative inflation rate of more than 100% 
over the previous three years.
For  the  purposes  of  preparing  the  consolidated  financial 
statements  at  December  31,  2023,  and  in  accordance  with 
IAS 29, certain items of the statements of financial position of 
the investees in Argentina have been remeasured by applying 
the general consumer price index to historical data in order 
to reflect changes in the purchasing power of the Argentine 
peso at the reporting date for those companies.
Bearing in mind that the Enel Group acquired control of the 
Argentine companies on June 25, 2009, the remeasurement 
of  the  non-monetary  financial  statement  figures  was  con-
ducted  by  applying  the  inflation  indices  starting  from  that 
date.  In  addition  to  being  already  reflected  in  the  opening 
statement of financial position, the accounting effects of that 
remeasurement also include changes during the period. More 
specifically, the effect of the remeasurement of non-mone-
tary items, the equity items and the income statement items 
recognized in 2023 was recognized in a specific line of the 
income statement under financial income and expense. The 
associated tax effect was recognized in taxes for the year.

In order to also take account of the impact of hyperinflation 
on the exchange rate of the local currency, the income state-

ment  balances  expressed  in  the  hyperinflationary  currency 
have  been  translated  into  the  Group’s  presentation  curren-
cy (euro) applying, in accordance with IAS 21, the closing ex-
change rate rather than the average rate for the year in order 
to adjust these amounts to present values.

The cumulative changes in the general price indices from De-
cember 31, 2018 until December 31, 2023 are shown in the 
following table:

In 2023, the application of IAS 29 generated net financial in-
come (gross of tax) of €284 million.
The following tables report the effects of IAS 29 on the bal-
ance at December 31, 2023 and the impact of hyperinflation 
on the main income statement items for 2023, differentiating 
between that concerning the revaluation on the basis of the 
general consumer price index and that due to the applica-
tion of the closing exchange rate rather than the average ex-
change rate for the period, in accordance with the provisions 
of IAS 21 for hyperinflationary economies.

6. Climate change disclosures

The move towards “net zero” is under way worldwide and 
the processes of decarbonization and electrification of the 
global economy are crucial to avoiding the serious conse-
quences of an increase in temperatures of over 1.5 °C.
With  this  outlook,  the  Group  has  set  its  strategic  guide-
lines as follows:
•  allocate  capital  to  support  a  decarbonized  electricity 

supply;

•  enable  the  electrification  of  customers’  energy  de-

mand;

•  leverage the creation of value along the value chain;
•  bring forward achievement of the sustainable “net-ze-

ro” goals to 2040.

Considering  the  risks  related  to  climate  change  and  the 
commitments established under the Paris Agreement, the 
Group has decided to achieve the carbon neutrality objec-

tives in advance and reflect its impact on assets, liabilities, 
and profit or loss, highlighting its significant and foresee-
able  impacts  as  required  under  the  Conceptual  Frame-
work of the international accounting standards.
In  this  regard,  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  the 
document published by the IFRS Foundation in July 2023, 
the  Group  provides  explicit  information  in  the  notes  to 
these  consolidated  financial  statements  regarding  how 
climate change is reflected in our accounts.
For a more effective and comprehensive communication 
concerning  climate  change  disclosures  prepared  as  part 
of  the  notes  to  these  consolidated  financial  statements, 
we have mapped this disclosure as shown below, providing 
references to the various sections where issues associat-
ed with climate change are addressed:

7. Discontinued operations

Within the “Europe” area, the Enel Group has decided to 
divest  certain  major  business  lines,  particularly  in  Russia, 
Romania and Greece. 
Due  to  the  fact  that  all  discontinued  assets  represent  a 
significant part of a geographical area in which the Group 
operates,  the  results  relating  to  these  assets  have  been 
classified in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 5 in a 
separate  line  of  the  consolidated  income  statement  de-
nominated “Profit/(Loss) from discontinued operations”.

In  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  IFRS  5,  the  facts 
and circumstances that led to the reclassification are de-
scribed below.

For  more  information,  please  see  note  9  “Main  acquisi-
tions and disposals during the year”.

Russia
On October 12, 2022, Enel SpA closed the sale of the en-
tire stake held in PJSC Enel Russia. Upon completion of the 
sale, Enel sold all power generation assets in Russia, which 
include  approximately  5.6  GW  of  conventional  capacity 
and  approximately  300  MW  of  wind  capacity  at  various 
stages  of  development,  ensuring  continuity  for  its  em-
ployees and customers.

Furthermore,  on  December  20,  2023,  Enel  SpA  sold  the 
entire stake it held in Rusenergosbyt LLC for €83 million. 
The  operation  had  a  negative  impact  of  €124  million,  of 
which €82 million related to the release of the translation 
reserve.

Romania
Following the agreements of December 14, 2022, Febru-
ary 4, 2023 and March 9, 2023, on October 25, 2023 Enel 
SpA finalized the sale to the Greek company Public Power 
Corporation SA (PPC) of all the equity stakes held by Enel 
Group in Romania.
In accordance with the terms of the agreement, PPC paid 
a  total  of  €1,241  million.  An  earn-out  mechanism  is  also 
foreseen concerning a potential further post-closing pay-
ment, based on the future value of the retail business.

The  overall  transaction  had  a  negative  impact  on  the 
Group’s  net  profit  of  about  €847  million,  of  which  €655 
million reflecting the release of a currency translation re-
serve, €15 million in respect of transaction costs connect-
ed with the sale and the recognition of €177 million net of 
taxation  in  impairment  losses  on  the  assets  prior  to  the 
sale.

Greece
Following  the  agreement  of  July  26,  2023,  on  December 
29, 2023, Enel Green Power (EGP) finalized the sale of 50% 
of Enel Green Power Hellas (EGPH), EGP’s fully-owned re-
newable  subsidiary  in  Greece,  to  Macquarie  Asset  Man-
agement, acting through the Macquarie Green Investment 
Group Renewable Energy Fund 2, following the fulfillment 
of all the conditions customary for this type of transaction, 
including  receipt  of  clearance  from  competent  antitrust 
authorities.

In line with the above agreement, the total price received 
by EGP was €351 million.
Following  the  transaction’s  closing,  EGP  and  Macquarie 
Asset  Management  entered  into  a  shareholder  agree-
ment which envisages the joint control of EGPH in order to 
co-manage the company’s current renewable generation 
portfolio alongside continuing to develop its project pipe-
line, further increasing its installed capacity.

The  transaction  generated  a  positive  impact  on  Group 
profit of €422 million (including the remeasurement at fair 
value of the residual interest).
For  more  information,  please  see  note  9  “Main  acquisi-
tions and disposals during the year”.

For more details on the financial position by business line 
and  geographical  area  of  assets  classified  as  discontin-
ued  operations,  please  see  the  section  “Performance  by

10. Performance and financial position by primary segment (Business 
Line) and secondary segment (Geographical Area)

The representation of performance and financial position 
presented  here  is  based  on  the  approach  used  by  man-
agement  in  monitoring  Group  performance  for  the  two 
periods under review. In particular, management monitors 
and reports on performance by business line. Accordingly, 
the Group has adopted the following reporting sectors:
•  primary segment: Business Line; 
•  secondary segment: Geographical Area.
The business line is therefore the main discriminant in the 
analyses performed and decisions taken by the manage-
ment  of  the  Enel  Group,  and  is  fully  consistent  with  the 
internal reporting prepared for these purposes since the 
results are measured and evaluated first and foremost for 
each  business  line  and  only  thereafter  are  they  broken 
down by geographical area. 

In  this  regard,  note  that  the  organizational  simplification 
process begun in 2023 led to a restructuring of the busi-
ness  lines  and  geographical  areas,  with  a  consequent 
need  to  redefine  the  segments  subject  to  disclosure  in 
order to present the results of the segments based on the 

approach  used  by  management  to  monitor  and  present 
the Group’s performance to investors.

In particular, in the presentation of figures by primary seg-
ment (Business Line):
•  the figures for Enel X, which in the year ended Decem-
ber  31,  2022  had  been  presented  separately,  are  now 
reported under End-user Markets;

•  the figures for Enel X Way, which in the year ended De-
cember  31,  2022  had  been  presented  under  Holding, 
Services and Other, are now reported under End-user 
Markets.

In  the  presentation  of  figures  by  secondary  segment 
(Geographical Area), the figures for Latin America, Europe, 
North America, and Africa, Asia and Oceania have merged 
into the “Rest of the World” area.

Following these changes, the figures for the previous year 
have been adjusted for comparative purposes only.

Total revenue from sales and services

92,882

135,653

(42,771)

Revenue  from  the  “sale  of  electricity”  amounted  to 
€52,465 million, a decrease of €16,875 million compared 
with  the  previous  year  (-24.3%).  The  decrease  mainly  re-
flected lower sales volumes against a background of de-
creasing electricity sales prices, mainly in Italy (€9,873 mil-
lion) and Spain (€6,916 million), reflecting the stabilization 
of markets.

“Transfers from institutional market operators” increased 
by  €163  million  compared  with  the  previous  year,  main-
ly reflecting an increase in transfers in Italy (€334 million), 
primarily  relating  to  the  remuneration  of  the  capacity 
market and the plan to maximize thermal generation from 
plants powered by alternative fuels to gas required by the 
Ministry  of  the  Environment  and  Energy  Security  (MASE), 
which included a number of Enel Produzione SpA plants. 
The item was offset by a decrease in transfers in Argentina 
(€139 million) and Peru (€28 million). 

Revenue  from  the  “sale  of  gas”  in  2023  amounted  to 
€7,983 million (€8,970 million in 2022), a decrease of €987 
million compared with the previous year. The decrease is 
mainly attributable to a decrease in prices and the number 
of customers in Spain (€1,101 million), offset by the adjust-

ment of offers to market prices (through indexation or re-
structuring of contract conditions), partly offset by greater 
sales in Italy (€272 million).

Revenue from the “sale of fuel” decreased by €2,147 mil-
lion due to decreasing gas sales prices in trading opera-
tions. This was partially offset by higher sales in Spain.

Revenue from “construction contracts” came to €995 mil-
lion, a decrease of €677 million, attributable to the decline 
in development work on the distribution grid operated on 
concession basis in Brazil and mainly to the change in the 
Group consolidation scope following the disposal of Celg 
Distribuição SA - Celg-D (Enel Goiás) in December 2022.

Revenue from “sale of environmental certificates” came to 
€283 million, up €172 million. The increase is mainly attrib-
utable to higher sales of CO2 allowances by Endesa Gen-
eración (€166 million).

“Sale  of  value-added  services”  came  to  €1,653  million, 
an increase of €269 million, mainly attributable to greater 
revenue  from  the  sale  of  energy  efficiency  products  and 
services  connected  with  the  maintenance,  consulting, 

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

repair and installation of energy efficient products in the 
e-Home and Vivi Meglio segments of Enel X in Italy (€123 
million), and greater revenue from the sale of value-added 
services in North America (€55 million) and Colombia (€21 
million).

The  decrease  in  revenue  from  the  “sale  of  commodities 
under  contracts  with  physical  settlement”,  measured  at 

fair  value  through  profit  or  loss  within  the  scope  of  IFRS 
9 (€28,372 million), mainly regards the sale of gas and re-
flects a decrease in prices as well as in volumes handled.

The following table shows the net results on contracts for 
the sale or purchase of commodities with physical settle-
ment measured at fair value through profit or loss within 
the scope of IFRS 9.

Performance obligations
The following table provides information about the Group’s 
performance obligations arising from contracts with cus-
tomers with reference to the main revenue streams only, 
with a summary of the specific judgments made and the 

related revenue recognition policies.
For information on the use of estimates with revenue from 
contracts with customers, please see note 2.1 “Use of es-
timates and management judgment”.

service

Sale of electricity 
produced by the 
Group

Sale/transport of

end users

Nature and timing of satisfaction of performance obligation

Accounting policies

In order to determine the nature of the promise contained in 
these contracts with customers for the sale of electricity, the 
Group carefully analyzes the facts and circumstances applicable 
to each contract.
For the sale of electricity on power exchanges, the facts 
and circumstances (including the intrinsic characteristics of 
the commodity, contractual terms, information regarding 
infrastructure and other delivery mechanisms) generally indicate 
that the performance obligation is a service in which the 
customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits 
of the commodity as it is delivered. Thus, the Group identifies 
a performance obligation satisfied over time as part of a series 
of distinct goods/services (i.e. each unit of commodity) that are 
substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer to 
the customer. 

The network connection fees received from customers for 
connecting them to the electricity/gas distribution networks 
require a specific Group assessment to take into consideration 
all terms and conditions of the connection arrangements. 
This assessment is intended to determine whether the contract 
includes other distinct goods or services, such as for example 
the right to obtain ongoing access to the infrastructure in order 
to receive the commodity or, when the connection fee is a “non-
refundable up-front fee” paid at or near contract inception, a 
material right that gives rise to a performance obligation.
In particular, in some countries in which the Group operates, it 
has determined that the nature of the consideration received 
represents a “non-refundable up-front fee” whose payment 
provides a material right to the customer. In order to determine 
if the period over which this material right should be recognized 
extends beyond the initial contractual period, the Group takes 
into consideration the applicable local legal and regulatory 
framework applicable to the contract and affecting the parties. In 
such cases, if there is an implied assignment of the material right 
and an obligation from the initial customer to the new customer, 
the Group recognizes the connection fee over a period beyond 
the relationship with the initial customer, considering the 
concession terms as the period during which the initial customer 
and any future customer can benefit from the ongoing access 
without paying an additional connection fee. As a consequence, 
the fee is recognized over the period for which the payment 
creates an obligation for the Group to make the lower prices 
available to future customers (i.e. the period during which the 
customer is expected to benefit from the ongoing access 
service without having to pay an “up-front fee” upon renewal).

An electricity/gas supply agreement signed with an end user 
includes a single performance obligation (sale and transport 
of the commodity) because the Group has determined that 
the contract does not provide distinct goods/services and the 
promise is satisfied by transferring control over the commodity 
to the customer when it is delivered at the point of delivery. 
In order to determine the nature of the promise included in 
such contracts, the Group carefully analyzes the facts and 
circumstances applicable to each contract and commodity. 
However, the Group considers that the performance obligation 
provided for in a repetitive service contract, such as a 
supply contract for the provision of electricity/gas to end 
users, is typically satisfied over time (because the customer 
simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the 
commodity as it is delivered) as part of a series of distinct goods/
services (i.e. each unit of commodity) that are substantially the 
same and have the same pattern of transfer to the customer. 

The Group applies an output method to recognize 
revenue from the sale of electricity on power exchanges, 
recognized over time, so as to recognize revenue in the 
amount to which it has a right to invoice the customer 
if that amount corresponds directly with the value to 
the customer of the performance completed to date, 
i.e. at the price defined in the market (without variable 
consideration).

Revenue from monetary and in-kind fees for connection 
to the electricity and gas distribution network is 
recognized on the basis of the satisfaction of the 
performance obligations included in the contract. The 
identification of distinct goods or services requires 
a careful analysis of the terms and conditions of the 
connection arrangements, which could vary from country 
to country based on the local context, regulations and 
law. In order to finalize this assessment, the Group 
considers not only the characteristics of the goods/
services themselves (i.e. the good or service is capable 
of being distinct) but also the implied promises for which 
the customer has a valid expectation as it views those 
promises as part of the negotiated exchange, that is 
goods/services that the customer expects to receive 
and has paid for (i.e. the promise to transfer the good or 
service to the customer is separately identifiable from 
other promises in the contract).
Furthermore, the Group acts as an agent in some 
contracts for electricity/gas network connection services 
and other related activities, depending on local legal 
and regulatory framework. In such cases, it recognizes 
revenue on a net basis, corresponding to any fee or 
commission to which it expects to be entitled.

The Group applies an output method to recognize 
revenue from the sale and transport of electricity/gas 
to end users, so as to recognize revenue in the amount 
to which it has a right to invoice the customer if that 
amount corresponds directly with the value to the 
customer of the performance completed to date, i.e. the 
quantities provided during the period, even if these have 
not yet been invoiced; this revenue is determined using 
estimates as well as periodic meter readings. Where 
applicable, this revenue is based on the rates and related 
restrictions established by law or by the Regulatory 
Authority for Energy, Networks and the Environment 
(ARERA) and analogous foreign authorities during the 
applicable period.

Construction 
contracts

The construction contracts typically include a performance 
obligation satisfied over time. For these contracts, the Group 
generally considers it appropriate to use an input method for 
measuring progress, except when a specific contract analysis 
suggests the use of an alternative method that better depicts 
the Group’s performance obligation fulfilled at the reporting date.

Service concession 
arrangements 
(within the scope 
of IFRIC 12)

The Group, as concession holder, provides services for the 
construction/upgrade of the infrastructure used for the 
provision of public services and/or services for the operation 
and maintenance of the infrastructure itself for the period of the 
concession.
For performance obligations related to infrastructure 
construction and improvement, please refer to the section 
“Construction contracts”. 
As far as revenue from operating services are concerned, please 
refer to the sections “Sale of electricity produced by the Group” 
and “Sale/transport of electricity/gas to end users”.

For construction contracts that include a performance 
obligation satisfied over time, the Group recognizes 
revenue over time by measuring progress toward the 
complete satisfaction of that performance obligation. 
The cost-to-cost method is generally considered 
the best method to depict the Group’s performance 
obligation fulfilled at the reporting date. 
The amount due from customers under a construction 
contract is presented as a contract asset; the amount 
due to customers under a construction contract is 
presented as a contract liability.

When the Group provides construction/upgrade 
services, it recognizes intangible assets and/or financial 
assets, depending on the characteristics of the service 
concession arrangement. 
The amounts received or receivable relating to both 
components are initially recognized as revenue from 
contracts with customers. For more details on revenue 
recognition, please refer to the section “Construction 
contracts”. 
Furthermore, the component recognized in profit or 
loss deriving from the remeasurement at fair value of 
the financial assets in respect of service concession 
agreements for the distribution business in Brazil is 
also classified as revenue, in order to adequately reflect 
the business model in line with the related concession 
agreement.
Revenues from management and maintenance activities 
are recognized as revenue from the sale of electricity on 
the market or to end users (please refer to sections “Sale 
of electricity produced by the Group” and “Sale/transport 
of electricity/gas to end users”, respectively).

Gains on the disposal of entities amounted to €584 million 
in 2023, mainly reflecting the recognition by Enel CIEN (in 
Brazil) of €99 million for the end-of-concession indemni-
ty received for the takeover of the concession by another 
entity, the overall income of €103 million from the partial 
sale with loss of control of assets held in Australia, the gain 
on the sale of Arcadia Generación Solar (€195 million) and 
the remeasurement at fair value of the residual interest in 
Enel Green Power Hellas (€160 million).
In 2022, the item mainly included the recognition of gains 
on the disposal by Enel X International of 1.1% of the in-
vestment in Ufinet (€220 million), the sale by Enel X Srl of 

financial  companies  to  Mooney  (€67  million),  the  sale  of 
50% of the investment held by Enel Grids in Gridspertise 
(€520 million) and the sale of Enel Chile’s interest in Enel 
Transmisión Chile. 

“Other income” decreased by €958 million, mainly due to 
the  decrease  of  income  of  Enel  Generación  Chile  (€456 
million),  mainly  in  respect  of  the  contractual  agreement 
with  Shell,  the  modification  of  which  generated  an  in-
crease  in  2022;  the  decrease  in  the  income  connected 
with the electricity business recognized in Argentina (€219 
million) following the agreements concluded in 2022 be-

crease in Enel Green Power North America in income from

“Electricity”  purchases  decreased  due  to  a  decrease  in 
volumes purchased and a decline in average prices com-
pared  with  the  previous  year,  mainly  attributable  to  Italy 
(€17,942 million) and Spain (€4,833 million).

The decrease in costs for “gas” purchases mainly reflects 
the decrease in average prices for gas purchases, which 
also had a significant impact on the measurement of con-
tracts with physical settlement, as well as the decrease in 
volumes handled, mainly in Italy and Spain. 
The item also includes charges of €515 million recognized 

related to the settlement of an arbitration dispute with a 
Qatari gas supplier in Spain.

Results of the fair value measurement of purchases of gas 
under contracts with physical settlement closed increased 
by  €4,080  million  compared  with  the  previous  year,  of 
which €3,311 million attributable to gas and €769 million 
to electricity.

The decrease in “other fuels” is mainly attributable to the 
decrease in volumes purchased.

Costs  for  services  and  other  materials  amounted  to 
€18,304 million in 2023, a decrease of €1,924 million com-
pared with 2022. This change essentially reflected: 
•  a  decrease  of  €466  million  in  costs  for  “wheeling”, 

mainly  due  to  lower  volumes  in  Italy  and  lower  prices 
in Spain;

•  a decrease of €727 million in “other services” essentially 
reflecting the decrease in costs for services connected 

330 Integrated Annual Report 2023

 
with the electricity and gas business (€371 million) and 
those related to concessions in Brazil (€353 million);
•  a  decrease  in  costs  of  environmental  certificates,  in-
cluding the change in inventories, essentially related to 

lower purchases of CO2 allowances;

•  a  decrease  in  “other  materials”  mainly  attributable  to 
procurement  costs  due  to  changes  in  the  consolida-
tion scope.

changes  in  the  consolidation  scope  (-3,868  employees), 
essentially attributable to:
•  the sale of Enel Generación Costanera SA in Argentina;
•  the sale of Central Dock Sud SA in Argentina;
•  the sale of Usme ZE SAS and Fontibón ZE SAS in Co-

lombia;

•  the sale of Avikiran Solar India Private Limited in India;
•  the sale of Enel Green Power Australia in Australia;
•  the sale of all Romanian companies;
•  the sale of Enel Green Power Hellas and all companies 

in Greece.

The increase in “wages and salaries” substantially reflects 
the cost incurred as a result of new hiring at companies in 
Italy, Spain, Chile and Colombia.

The  €6  million  decrease  in  “post-employment  and  other 
long-term benefits” is mainly attributable to Latin America 
and Spain.
The increase in “early retirement incentives” and “early re-
tirement  incentives  connected  with  restructuring  agree-
ments”  is  mainly  attributable  to  an  increase  in  costs  in 
Spain,  following  the  €177  million  adjustment  of  the  pro-
vision for the Acuerdo Voluntario de Salida (AVS) plan, and 
in Italy of the provision for restructuring and digitalization 
in respect of the framework agreement in application of 
Article  4,  paragraphs  1-7-ter,  of  Law  92/2012  signed  in 
2021, which required a negative adjustment in 2022 and 
a positive adjustment in 2023, according to the develop-
ments of the period and changes underlying the actuarial 
assumptions.

The  change  in  “depreciation,  amortization  and  other  im-
pairment losses” essentially reflected:
•  higher depreciation and amortization due to new capi-
tal expenditure, mainly in the sector of renewable ener-
gy and distribution;

•  the impairment losses on a number of renewables gen-
eration  companies  (€1,268  million)  in  North  America, 
mainly  attributable  to  the  deterioration  in  the  outlook 
for  certain  markets,  which  was  consolidated  over  the 
course of 2023, accompanied by a general deteriora-
tion in macroeconomic conditions as well as redefined 
strategic and restructuring plans in the area;

•  impairment losses recognized in 2023 on the assets of 
Enel  X  and  Enel  X  Way  (totaling  €126  million)  in  North 
America;

•  the  impairment  loss  of  €171  million  on  the  Windpeshi 
wind project in Colombia as it was classified as held for 
sale;

•  the value adjustments in 2022 of the net assets of Celg 
Distribuição SA - Celg-D (Enel Goiás) (€827 million), CGT 
Fortaleza  (€73  million)  in  Brazil,  and  net  assets  of  Enel 
Generación  Costanera  SA  (€174  million)  and  Central 
Dock Sud SA (€116 million) in Argentina.

Other  operating  costs  increased  by  €1,440  million  com-
pared with the previous year due to the following.

“Other  costs  connected  with  electrical  and  gas  system” 
increased by €396 million, mainly due to:
•  the increased impact of the Bono Social in Spain (€246 
million),  mainly  attributable  to  the  recognition  in  2022 
of  an  indemnity  of  €152  million  following  Supreme 
Court ruling no. 202/2022;

•  an  increase  in  indemnities  and  penalties  connected 
with service quality in Italy provided for under the Regu-
latory Authority for Energy, Networks and Environment 
(ARERA) Resolution no. 566/2019/R/eel charged to dis-
tributors (€118 million).

“Other taxes and duties” increased by €422 million, main-
ly  due  to  the  clawback  mechanism  in  Italy  (€357  million) 
introduced with Decree Law 25 of March 28, 2022 and in 
Spain  (€118  million)  as  a  result  of  Royal  Decree  17/2021. 
The change was partly offset by a decrease in charges for 
the  occupation  of  public  land  in  Spain  (€76  million)  as  a 
result of a reduction in fees.

Capitalized costs are in line with the previous year.

“Capital losses and other costs on the disposal of equity 
investments” in 2023 mainly include the capital losses on 
the disposal of Enel Generación Costanera (€132 million) 
and Central Dock Sud (€194 million) in Argentina and the 
price adjustment in respect of the disposal of Celg Dis-
tribuição  SA  -  Celg-D  (Enel  Goiás)  (€23  million).  In  2022 
the item mainly referred to capital losses recognized for 
the disposal of Enel Goiás (€208 million) and CGT Fortale-
za (€135 million) in Brazil.

“Extraordinary  solidarity  levies”  regard  the  extraordinary 
solidarity levy recognized, in 2023, in Spain (€208 million) 
following the approval of Law 38 of December 27, 2022.

The  increase  in  “other”  operating  costs  is  mainly  attrib-
utable to an increase in provisions for risks and charges 
recognized by Enel Insurance in response to claims con-
nected with adverse weather events.

•  an increase in interest expense of €889 million, mainly 

attributable to the increase in interest rates;

ly  offset  by  the  decrease  in  the  share  of  profit/(loss)  of

Income  taxes  for  2023  came  to  €2,778  million  and  de-
creased by €745 million compared with 2022.
The tax rate for 2023 came to 37%, compared with 41% in 
2022. 
The decrease mainly reflects the following factors:
•  the  impact  of  higher  impairment  and  losses  resulting 
from mergers and acquisitions in 2022 that were not tax 
deductible, essentially regarding Celg Distribuição SA - 
Celg-D (Enel Goiás) and CGT Fortaleza in Brazil;

•  higher  taxes  recognized  in  2022  in  Italy  in  respect  of 
the  extraordinary  energy  cost  tax,  established  by  Law 

51/2022 (about €121 million), and the solidarity tax from 
Law 197/2022 (about €599 million);

•  the tax effect of hyperinflation in Argentina mainly attrib-
utable,  in  2023,  to  the  recognition  for  tax  purposes  of 
the  increase  in  the  value  of  assets  adjusted  for  hyper-
inflation;

•  an increase in tax credit to eliminate dual taxation of div-

idends at Enel Iberia in 2023. 
These factors were partially offset by:
•  the non-deductibility of the extraordinary solidarity levy 

in Spain;

336 Integrated Annual Report 2023

•  the reversal of the portion of deferred tax assets no lon-
ger considered recoverable in the United States, Mex-
ico and Peru;

•  the  tax  effect  (€190  million)  of  the  sale  of  interests  in 
Ufinet, Gridspertise and the finance companies of the 
Enel X segment to Mooney in 2022.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

339

The Enel Group, in line with the Paris Agreement on CO2 
emissions  reductions  and  guided  by  energy  efficiency 
and energy transition objectives, has invested above all in 
generation  plants  that  exploit  alternative  energy  sourc-
es. Capital expenditure on thermal generation plants de-
creased mainly in Latin America and Italy.
Capital expenditure on the distribution grid were substan-
tial; in particular, higher investments in Italy, mainly for cor-
rective maintenance and grid reliability, were partly offset 
by  lower  investments  in  Brazil,  Romania,  Peru,  Argentina 
and Chile.
The decrease in capital expenditure in the Retail business 
in  Italy,  Spain  and  Romania  is  essentially  attributable  to 
a  decrease  in  digitalization  activities  of  operational  pro-
cesses in customer management.
The growth of capital expenditure of Enel X mainly regards 
the  e-City  and  the  Distributed  Energy  businesses  in  Italy 
and the e-City business in Brazil.

Impairment losses in 2023 amounted to €1,566 million, of 
which €1,234 million are attributable to the value adjust-
ment of photovoltaic and wind plants in the United States, 
operating in a progressively deteriorating macroeconom-
ic context and in local markets characterized by the per-
sistence of disadvantageous conditions for the dispatch-
ing of power, as well as the initiation and implementation 
by  management  of  specific  restructuring  plans  in  the 
country, which have had a significant impact on the recov-
erable  values  of  those  assets.  The  above  circumstances 
constituted evidence of low margins, which, following IAS 
36 impairment testing, indicate that their carrying amount 
cannot be completely recovered. 
Impairment losses in 2023 also include value adjustments 
of thermal generation assets in the non-peninsular terri-

tories in Spain (€91 million), in line with the decarboniza-
tion process pursued by the Group, and the value adjust-
ment of Windpeshi wind project in Colombia (€171 million) 
as a result of the implementation of a disposal program for 
the related assets, which prompted their classification as 
assets held for sale.

Impairment gains of €39 million mainly regards generation 
assets in Colombia of Sociedad Portuaria Central Cartage-
na SA, which had been written down in 2022 to reflect their 
realizable value.

“Reclassifications from/to assets held for sale” refer main-
ly to electricity distribution and supply assets held by Enel 
Distribución Perú SAA in Peru, generation assets held by 
Enel  Generación  Perú,  Compañía  Energética  Veracruz, 
and  Enel  Generación  Piura,  a  portfolio  of  renewables  as-
sets consisting of about 150 MW of geothermal and solar 
plants in North America, whose sale was finalized in Janu-
ary 2024, photovoltaic plants of Arcadia Generación Solar 
SA in Chile, sold during 2023, and the Windpeshi wind fa-
cility under development.

“Other changes” include the adjustment of plant decom-
missioning and site restoration costs, which decreased by 
€38  million,  mainly  in  Spain,  new  leases  of  €684  million, 
impairment  losses  on  the  property,  plant  and  equipment 
of the Argentine companies operating in a hyperinflation-
ary economy in the amount of €872 million and the effect 
of  capitalizing  interest  on  loans  specifically  dedicated  to 
capital  expenditure  on  property,  plant  and  equipment  of 
€303 million (€251 million in 2022), breaking down as fol-
lows.

Investment property at December 31, 2023 amounted to 
€97 million, an increase of €3 million on 2022.

The change in 2023 was mainly due to impairment losses 
recognized on a number of assets in Spain, a number of 
disposals in Italy and depreciation charges for the period.

The Group’s investment property consists of properties in 
Italy, Spain, Brazil and Chile, which are free of restrictions 
on their sale or the remittance of income and proceeds of 
disposal. In addition, the Group has no contractual obliga-
tions to purchase, construct or develop investment prop-
erty or for repairs, maintenance or enhancements.

For more information on the valuation of investment prop-
erty, please see notes 52 “Assets and liabilities measured 
at fair value”, and 52.2 “Assets not measured at fair value in

Assets  with  an  indefinite  useful  life  amounted  to  €8,197 
million  (€8,056  million  at  December  31,  2022)  essentially 
accounted  for  by  concessions  for  distribution  activities 
in  Spain  (€5,677  million),  Colombia  (€1,266  million)  and 
Chile (€1,254 million), for which there was no statutory or 
currently predictable expiration date. On the basis of the 
forecasts developed, cash flows for each CGU, with which 
the various concessions are associated, were sufficient to 

recover the carrying amount. The change during the year 
was essentially attributable to changes in exchange rates 
in Latin America. The assets in respect of concession ar-
rangements that do not fall within the scope of IFRIC 12 
of Enel Distribución Perú were reclassified as held for sale 
in the amount of €581 million (€584 million at December 
31, 2022).

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

345

The  decrease  of  €700  million  in  goodwill  was  mainly  at-
tributable to Peru for the reclassification as assets held for 
sale  of  generation  and  distribution  assets  (€570  million), 
and Chile for the reclassification to assets held for sale of 
Arcadia Generación Solar (€46 million). 
New  impairment  losses  were  also  recognized  in  2023  in 
respect of the CGUs in North America of Enel X and Enel 
X Way (€57 and €69 million, respectively) following impair-
ment testing conducted in response to changes in macro-
economic conditions.

The  decrease  is  partly  offset  by  exchange  gains  recog-
nized in Brazil.

The  recoverable  amount  of  the  goodwill  recognized  was 
estimated by calculating the value in use of the CGUs us-
ing discounted cash flow models, which involve estimating 
expected  future  cash  flows  and  applying  an  appropriate 
discount rate, selected on the basis of market inputs such 
as risk-free rates, betas and market-risk premiums. 
Cash flows were determined on the basis of the best in-
formation available at the time of the estimate, taking ac-
count of the specific risks of each CGU, and drawn:
•  for the explicit period, from the Business Plan approved 
by  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the  Parent  on  November 
22,  2023,  containing  forecasts  for  volumes,  revenue, 
operating  costs,  capital  expenditure,  industrial  and 
commercial organization and developments in the main 
macroeconomic  variables  (inflation,  nominal  interest 
rates and exchange rates) and commodity prices. The 
explicit period of cash flows considered in impairment 
testing was three years;

•  for  subsequent  years,  from  assumptions  concerning 
long-term developments in the main variables that de-
termine  cash  flows,  the  average  residual  useful  life  of 
assets or the duration of the concessions.

More specifically, the terminal value is calculated based on 
the  specific  characteristics  of  the  businesses  related  to 
the various CGUs subject to impairment testing:
•  perpetuity, for the businesses of large-hydro (LH) pow-
er generation and of distribution, in which the licenses 
and public concessions are of a long-term nature and 
renewal  can  be  forecast  with  reasonable  certainty;  as 
well as for the Enel X and Enel X Way businesses, as they 
feature the development of specific know-how that is 
sustainable over the long term;

•  annuity, for CGUs that are predominantly characterized 
by  retail  business,  for  which  the  residual  life  is,  there-
fore,  essentially  correlated  with  the  average  duration 
of the customer relationships; as well as for businesses 

of  conventional  thermal  power  generation  (Genera-
tion and Trading). This method is also used for the re-
newable energy (Enel Green Power) businesses to take 
account  of:  (i)  the  value  resulting  from  the  remaining 
useful  lives  of  the  plants;  and  (ii)  the  residual  value,  in 
the  event  of  plant  decommissioning,  associated  with 
licensing rights, the competitiveness of the production 
facilities (in terms of natural resources), and network in-
terconnectivity.

The nominal growth rate (g-rate) is equal to the long-term 
rate of growth in electricity and/or inflation (depending on 
the country and business involved).

Regarding the assumptions for commodity price develop-
ments, the scenarios adopted are consistent with current 
emissions reductions targets.

Note  also  that  the  Group  has  used  sensitivity  analysis  to 
take account of the impacts of climate change in the long 
term. More specifically:
•  we  consider  a  perpetual  long-term  growth  rate  for 
cash flows after the explicit period that is in line with the 
change in electricity demand over the 2026-2050 pe-
riod, based on the specific features of the businesses 
concerned,  adopting  certain  assumptions  concerning 
the increase in temperature due to climate change and 
trends connected with the energy transition; 

•  we  consider  changes  in  the  hydroelectric,  wind  and 
photovoltaic  generation  levels  of  our  Portfolio  assets, 
associated  with  each  projection  of  underlying  climate 
and weather variables (for example, temperature, irra-
diance, wind speed and precipitation);

•  we  assume  that  the  Group  will  incur  the  costs  provi-
sioned  for  decommissioning  fossil  fuel  generation 
plants in line with the goal of zero direct (Scope 1) and 
indirect emissions from retail activities (Scope 3).

In  order  to  verify  the  robustness  of  the  value  in  use  of 
the  CGUs,  sensitivity  analyses  were  conducted  for  the 
main value drivers, in particular WACC and the long-term 
growth rate.
Even in these circumstances, results were consistent with 
the evidence described previously, finding that for all the 
CGUs analyzed, with the exception of those written down 
(Enel X North America and Enel X Way North America), the 
value in use exceeded the carrying amount, ensuring the 
full recoverability of the carrying amounts of those assets 
in the consolidated financial statements of the Enel Group 
at December 31, 2023.

OUR ZERO-EMISSIONS 
AMBITION
Enel is committ ed to achieving zero emissions by 2040 
and to developing a business model that is in line 
with the objectives of the Paris Agreement (COP 21) 
to limit the average increase in global temperatures 

to 1.5 ºC. For this reason, the Group has developed a 
decarbonatization roadmap that covers both direct 
and indirect emissions throughout the value chain. The 
roadmap includes four targets cert ifi ed by the Science 
Based Targets initiative (SBTi) in December 2022 to be 
in line with the Net Zero Standard.

Primary drivers and 
actions

• Invest a total of €18.6 billion in grids over the 2024-2026 
period, of which 50% to improve grid resilience, quality 
and digitalization, thereby helping to reduce grid losses 
and related greenhouse gas emissions. Replace existing 
distribution grid infrastructure components with SF6-free 
solutions.

• Implement a circular procurement approach; increase the 
number of contracts that include the measurement of the 
carbon footprint of the products and services purchased 
by Enel, encouraging its reduction in a collaborative 
decarbonization process with our suppliers. Strengthen 
dialogue with raw material producers and other utilities 
to defi ne shared and eff ective long-term decarbonization 
strategies.

• Phase out coal-fi red generation by 2027, mitigating all GHG 

emissions related to coal supply.

• No use of carbon-removal technologies to achieve the 

target.

• Promote grid digitalization and replace existing distribution 
grid infrastructure components with SF6-free solutions.
• Implement a circular procurement approach; increase the 
number of contracts that include the measurement of the 
carbon footprint of the products and services purchased 
by Enel, encouraging its reduction in a collaborative 
decarbonization process with our suppliers. Strengthen 
dialogue with raw material producers and other utilities 
to defi ne shared and eff ective long-term decarbonization 
strategies.

• Eliminate emissions connected with gas extraction activities, 
as the Group has fully exited gas-fi red generation and sale of 
gas to end users.

• Neutralize the residual amount through carbon-removal 

actions (purchase of cert ifi cates linked to nature-based or 
technology-based projects in voluntary carbon markets, 
in accordance with international standards) if complete 
mitigation of emissions is not feasible due to exogenous 
factors (technological, market or regulatory).

KPI achievement in 2023: 11.9 MtCO2eq (for 2017-2030 target scope) and 13.5 MtCO2eq
(for 2017-2040 target scope)(6)

Results and 
main actions in 
2023

• €5.4 billion invested in the grid in 2023.
• 43% reduction in coal burned in thermal generation plants. 
• 41% reduction in volume of gas burned in thermal generation plants compared with 2022 (due also to the sale of gas plants 

in Russia and Argentina), and 19% reduction in volume of gas sold to end users compared with 2022.

• 8% reduction in electricity consumption in Group generation plants and buildings. 
• 24% reduction in emissions intensity (tCO2eq/€mn) in supply chain in 2023 compared with 2022, reaching 684 tCO2eq/€mn. 

350 Integrated Annual Report 2023

TOTAL COVERAGE OF SCOPES 1-2-3 
EMISSIONS IN 2023

•  95.5% of Scope 1 GHG emissions (2026, 2030 and 2040 targets)
•  100% of Scope 2 GHG emissions (2030 and 2040 targets)
•  87% (2017-2030 target) and 90% (2017-2040 target) of Scope 3 GHG emissions(6) 

(1)  Percentages based on total GHG emissions in 2023.
(2)  Excludes marginal Scope 1 GHG emissions not directly related to the combustion of fossil fuels in electricity generation at thermal plants. These emissions 
also include the use of ancillary services in distribution operations. In part icular, in 2023 there was an extraordinarily high use of these services in Brazil 
to deal with the meteorological emergency that occurred in São Paulo in November 2023, which caused the interruption of grid operations. In any event, 
95.8% of Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions are covered by all of the above targets, greater than the 95% threshold required under the Science Based 
Targets initiative and the GHG Protocol.

(3)  The target is in line with the path to 1.5 °C set by the SBTi for the electrical services industry (Sectoral Decarbonization Approach, or SDA), although it could 

(4) 

not be offi  cially validated because the SBTi does not cert ify targets over a time frame of less than fi ve years from the presentation date.
In 2023, gas sales decreased considerably compared with previous years. Furt hermore, a methodological change in the use of conversion factors has been 
implemented. These two factors produced a value below the target expected for 2026. 

(5)  The target could not be offi  cially validated because the SBTi does not cert ify targets over a time frame of less than fi ve years from the presentation date. In 

addition, the SBTi has not defi ned a sectoral decarbonization approach for these types of emissions, so the ambition level cannot be verifi ed.

(6)  Two diff erent percentage limits have been set for the target for Scope 3 GHG emissions by the supply chain, as allowed under the SBTi approach, which 

required coverage of at least 67% of Scope 3 emissions for the 2030 target, and at least 90% for the 2040 target.

(1)  The figures at December 31, 2022 for deferred tax assets and liabilities have been adjusted in the amount of €250 million and €252 million respectively to 
take account of the effects of the Amendment to IAS 12, which took effect for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. For more 
information, please see note 8 “Restatement of comparative disclosures”.

Deferred tax assets recognized at December 31, 2023, as 
the recovery of such assets is considered reasonably cer-
tain,  totaled  €9,218  million  (€11,175  million  at  December 
31, 2022). 
Deferred  tax  assets  decreased  by  €1,957  million  during 
the year, essentially due to:
•  a decrease in deferred tax assets connected with de-
velopments in the fair value of cash flow hedge deriv-
atives;

•  the impact of exchange rate differences in Latin Amer-

ica, in particular in Argentina;

•  the  reversal  of  the  portion  of  deferred  tax  assets  no 
longer considered recoverable in the United States and 
Mexico;

•  the reclassification to assets held for sale of generation 

and distribution assets in Peru.

Note that deferred tax assets have not been assessed on 
tax losses carried forward for the year (€1,480 million) in 

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

the amount of €453 million, as their recoverability is not 
considered probable based on current estimates of future 
taxable income.

Deferred tax liabilities amounted to €8,217 million at De-
cember  31,  2023  (€9,794  million  at  December  31,  2022). 
They  essentially  include  the  determination  of  the  tax  ef-
fects of the adjustments to assets acquired as part of the 
final  allocation  of  the  cost  of  acquisitions  made  in  the 
various years and the deferred taxation in respect of the 
differences between depreciation charged for tax purpos-
es,  including  accelerated  depreciation,  and  depreciation 
based on the estimated useful lives of assets.

Deferred tax liabilities decreased by a total of €1,577 mil-
lion, due in particular to:
•  the decrease in deferred tax liabilities connected with 
developments in the fair value of cash flow hedge de-
rivatives;

•  the impact of exchange rate differences in Latin Amer-

ica, in particular in Argentina;

•  the  reversal  of  deferred  tax  liabilities  connected  with 
impairment  losses  on  renewable  generation  plants  in 
the United States;

•  the reclassification of deferred tax liabilities relating to 

companies held for sale in Peru.

The  increase  in  equity  accounted  investments  in  2023 
mainly reflected:
•  changes in the consolidation scope, mainly regarding:

 – the recognition of the interest in the joint ventures 
of Enel Green Power Australia (€142 million), follow-
ing the sale, to INPEX Corporation, of a 50% stake in 
those companies, previously wholly owned and clas-
sified as held for sale;

 – the  recognition  of  the  interest  in  the  joint  venture 
Enel  Green  Power  Hellas  (€246  million),  following 
the sale, to Macquarie Asset Management, of a 50% 
stake  in  the  company,  previously  controlled  by  the 
Enel Group; 

 – the recognition of the interest in the associate Avi-
kiran Solar India Private Limited (€ 29 million) follow-
ing the sale to Norfund of 49% of the company, with 
loss of control;

 – the recognition of the negative price adjustment of 
the investment in the joint venture holding the com-
panies of the Matimba project (€15 million); 

•  the recognition of the Group’s share in changes in the 
OCI  reserves  (€98  million)  mainly  in  respect  of  Slovak 
Power Holding and attributable to developments in the 
fair  value  of  cash  flow  hedge  derivatives  of  the  com-
pany.

These positive effects were mainly offset by the reclassifi-
cation under discontinued operations of the entire invest-
ment in Rusenergosbyt (€115 million), which was then sold 
in 2023, as well as dividends distributed in the year in the 
amount of €25 million, mainly by Spanish companies, and 
adverse exchange rate developments.

The following tables provide a summary of financial infor-
mation for the main joint ventures and associates of the 
Group  not  classified  as  held  for  sale  in  accordance  with 
IFRS 5.

Non-current assets deriving from contracts with custom-
ers (contract assets) refer mainly to assets with long-term 
utility  under  construction  in  respect  of  public-to-private 
service  concession  arrangements  recognized  in  accor-
dance with IFRIC 12 (€425 million). These cases arise when 
the  concession  holder  has  not  yet  obtained  full  right  to 
recognize the asset from the grantor, in that there remains 
a contractual obligation to ensure that the asset is com-
pleted and can be remunerated through rates. The figure 
at December 31, 2023 includes investments for the year in 
the amount of €795 million.

Current contract assets mainly concern construction con-
tracts in progress (€167 million) to be invoiced, payments 
on  which  are  subject  to  the  fulfillment  of  a  performance 
obligation.

The value at December 31, 2023 of non-current contract 
liabilities is mainly attributable to distribution operations 
in Italy (€3,014 million) and Spain (€2,729 million) as a re-
sult  of  the  accounting  treatment  of  revenue  from  con-
nections of new customers, which are deferred over the 
average duration of the associated contracts. 

Current contract liabilities include the contractual liabili-
ties related to revenue from connections to the electricity 
grid  expiring  within  12  months  in  the  amount  of  €1,628 
million mainly recognized in Italy and Spain, as well as lia-
bilities for construction contracts in progress (€453 mil-
lion).

As required under IFRS 15, the following table reports the 
reversal to profit or loss of contract liabilities by time band.

“Other  non-current  financial  assets”  increased  by  €391 
million reflecting:
•  the  increase  in  financial  assets  in  respect  of  service 

concession arrangements, mainly in Brazil;

•  the  recognition  of  financial  assets  in  respect  of  joint 
development  agreements  (JDA)  in  relation  to  amounts 
paid  by  a  number  of  the  Group’s  Italian  renewables 
companies  to  developers  for  the  development  of  re-
newable  generation  projects;  in  2022  those  assets 
were recognized under other non-current assets in the 
amount of €100 million.

These positive effects were partly offset mainly by the de-
crease  in  other  non-current  financial  assets  included  in 
net financial debt, as specified in note 29.1, and the de-
crease in equity investments in other companies following 
the disposal of the investment in Athonet Srl and the re-
duction in the value of the investments in Termoeléctrica 
José de San Martín SA and Termoeléctrica Manuel Belgra-
no SA.

“Securities” at FVOCI are represented by financial instru-
ments  in  which  the  Dutch  insurance  companies  invest  a 
portion of their liquidity.
The decrease in “other financial assets” is mainly attribut-
able to a decrease in financial assets for security deposits 

(€634  million),  mainly  in  the  Endesa  Group,  partly  offset 
in particular by the increase in financial assets relating to 
the  deficit  of  the  Spanish  electricity  system  (€85  million) 
and medium- and long-term financial assets (€79 million), 
mainly in Enel Finance International and Enel Américas.

The change in the item is mainly attributable to: 
•  €5,420 million in respect of a decrease in cash collat-
eral paid to counterparties for derivatives transactions;
•  a decrease in “other”, mainly reflecting the decrease in 

financial assets of:
 – Enel  Brasil  (€1,212  million),  mainly  in  respect  of  the 
recognition in 2022 of the receivables connected to 
the sale of Celg Distribuição SA - Celg-D (Enel Goiás);

 – Enel X Italia (€581 million), mainly reflecting the col-
lection  of  financial  assets  in  respect  of  the  assign-
ment  of  tax  credits  for  building  renovations  under 
the “eco-sisma bonus” program in 2022;

•  the decrease in the current portion of long-term finan-
cial assets (€1,831 million), mainly due to a decrease in 
financial  assets  relating  to  the  deficit  of  the  Spanish 
electricity system.

lion (€388 million at December 31, 2022). 
The  increase  was  essentially  attributable  to  the  increase 
in amounts receivable in Italy in respect of the Energy and 
Environmental Services Fund, mainly held by e-distribuzi-
one  (€390  million)  and  Servizio  Elettrico  Nazionale  (€252 

million),  primarily  connected  with  equalization  mecha-
nisms.
The decrease of €287 million in sundry tax assets is mainly 
attributable to a decrease in credits for indirect taxes and 
duties recognized by the Parent Company Enel SpA (€274 
million)  in  Italy  (€18  million)  and  Latin  America  (€108  mil-
lion), partially offset by an increase in such items in Spain 
(€146 million) and North America (€58 million).

Raw  and  ancillary  materials,  and  consumables  consist  of 
materials  and  equipment  used  to  operate,  maintain,  and 
construct power plants and distribution networks, as well 
as fuel inventories to cover the Group’s requirements for 
generation and trading activities.
The overall decrease in inventories in 2023 (€563 million) is 
mainly attributable to a decrease in inventories of fuel and 

materials,  devices  and  other  inventories  recorded  in  Italy 
(€537  million,  of  which  €166  million  in  respect  of  write-
downs  of  coal  and  other  materials),  Spain  (€363  million) 
and  Latin  America  (€35  million),  notably  gas  inventories 
to meet the needs of the Group, partially offset by the in-
crease in CO2 emissions allowances in Italy.

Specifically,  the  increase  in  2023,  totaling  €1,168  million, 
is attributable to an increase in receivables for electricity 

sale and transport recognized in the year.
The change was mainly recognized in Italy (€1,810 million),

The item essentially includes assets measured at the lower of 
cost, understood as their net carrying amount, and the esti-
mated realizable value, which, due to management decisions, 
meet the requirements of “IFRS 5 - Non-current Assets Held

in this item.

The balances of assets held for sale and associated liabilities 
at December 31, 2023 came to, respectively, €5,919 million 
and €2,316 million and mainly refer to:
•  3SUN in Italy: on the basis of the negotiations finalized to 
the disposal of a 50% stake in the social capital of 3SUN 
Srl, its net assets have been reclassified as “Non-current 
assets held for sale and discontinued operations”,  in  line 
with IFRS 5;

•  North America: assets relating to a renewable portfolio in 
the United States including about 150 MW of operational 
geothermal and solar plants;

•  Peru: the electricity distribution and supply assets held by 
Enel Distribución Perú SAA, the advanced energy services 
assets of Enel X Perú SAC and the generation assets held 
by Enel Generación Perú, Compañía Energética Veracruz 
and Enel Generación Piura as, on the basis of the negoti-
ations in place, the requirements set by IFRS 5 have been 
met;

•  Colombia: the Windpeshi wind farm under construction, 
which based on negotiations under way satisfies the re-
quirements of IFRS 5.

Assets  previously  classified  as  held  for  sale  disposed  of  in 
2023 include:
•  in the 1st Half of 2023, Enel Generación Costanera, Inver-
sora Dock Sud and Central Dock Sud generation compa-
nies were sold in Argentina; Enel Green Power India relin-
quished  control  of  the  net  assets  held  through  Avikiran 
Solar India Private Limited while maintaining a residual in-
terest in the company of 51% of the paid-up share capital;
•  in  the  3rd  Quarter  of  2023,  the  subsidiary  Enel  Green 
Power SpA sold 50% of the two companies holding all of 
the Group renewable assets in Australia, specifically Enel 
Green Power Australia (Pty) Ltd and Enel Green Power Aus-
tralia Trust, to INPEX Corporation;

•  during the 4th Quarter of 2023, the Enel Group completed 
through the subsidiary Endesa Generación SAU the sale of 
the entire stake held in Tecnatom SA.

For  more  information  on  the  financial  effects  of  the  above 
transactions,  please  see  note  9  “Main  acquisitions  and  dis-
posals during the year”.

Several  assets  previously  classified  as  discontinued  opera-
tions were disposed of in 2023. In particular, in the 4th Quarter

364 Integrated Annual Report 2023

Share capital – €10,167 million
At  December  31,  2023  the  fully  subscribed  and  paid-up 
share  capital  of  Enel  SpA  totaled  €10,166,679,946,  rep-
resented  by  the  same  number  of  ordinary  shares  with  a 
par value of €1.00 each. Enel SpA’s share capital was un-
changed compared with the amount reported at Decem-
ber 31, 2022.
At December 31, 2023, based on the shareholders regis-
ter  and  the  notices  submitted  to  CONSOB  and  received 
by the Parent pursuant to Article 120 of Legislative Decree 
58  of  February  24,  1998,  as  well  as  other  available  infor-
mation,  shareholders  with  interests  of  greater  than  3%  in 
the Parent’s share capital were the Ministry for the Economy 
and Finance (with a 23.585% stake) and BlackRock Inc. (with 
a 5.023% stake held for asset management purposes).

Treasury share reserve – €(59) million
At December 31, 2023, treasury shares are represented by 
9,262,330 ordinary shares of Enel SpA with a par value of 
€1.00 each (7,153,795 at December 31, 2022), purchased 
through an authorized intermediary for a total of €59 mil-
lion.

Other reserves – €6,551 million

Share premium reserve – €7,496 million
Pursuant to Article 2431 of the Italian Civil Code, the share 
premium  reserve  contains,  in  the  case  of  the  issue  of 
shares at a price above par, the difference between the is-
sue price of the shares and their par value, including those 
resulting from conversion from bonds. The reserve, which 
is a capital reserve, may not be distributed until the legal 
reserve has reached the threshold established under Arti-
cle 2430 of the Italian Civil Code.

Reserve for equity instruments - perpetual hybrid bonds 
– €6,553 million

This reserve reports the nominal value, net of transaction 
costs, of the non-convertible subordinated perpetual hy-
brid bonds denominated in euros for international inves-
tors. 
The change of €986 million in the reserve reflects the is-
sue of new bonds in the amount of €1,738 million, net of 
transaction costs, partly offset by the repurchase and sub-
sequent cancellation of previous bonds in the amount of 
€752 million, including transaction costs.
In 2023, coupons of €182 million were paid to holders of 
perpetual hybrid bonds.

Legal reserve – €2,034 million
The legal reserve is formed as allocation of part of the net 
income  that,  pursuant  to  Article  2430  of  the  Italian  Civil 
Code, cannot be distributed as dividends.

Other reserves – €2,341 million
These include €2,215 million related to the remaining por-
tion of the value adjustments carried out when Enel was 
transformed from a public entity to a joint-stock company.
Pursuant  to  Article  47  of  the  Uniform  Income  Tax  Code, 
this amount does not constitute taxable income when dis-
tributed.

Translation reserve – €(5,289) million
The increase of €623 million in the period was mainly due 
to the change in the consolidation scope connected with 
stakes  held  in  Romania,  Inversora  Dock  Sud  and  Central 
Dock Sud and Enel Generación Costanera, as well as the 
net depreciation of the functional currencies used by for-
eign  subsidiaries,  mainly  in  Chile  and  the  United  States, 
against the euro (presentation currency of the Parent).

Hedging reserve – €(1,393) million
This includes the net expense recognized in equity from 
the  measurement  of  hedging  derivatives.  The  change  in 
the period is mainly attributable to developments in com-
modity prices.

Hedging costs reserve – €(38) million
In application of IFRS 9, this reserve includes the fair val-
ue gains and losses on currency basis points and forward 
points. The change in 2023 is mainly attributable to devel-
opments in commodity prices.

Reserve from measurement of financial instruments at 
FVOCI – €10 million

This  includes  net  unrealized  fair  value  losses  on  financial 
assets. 

Reserve from equity-accounted investments – €(375) 
million

The  reserve  reports  the  share  of  comprehensive  income 
to  be  recognized  directly  in  equity  of  equity-accounted 
investees. The change in 2023 is mainly attributable to the 
change in the hedging reserve of Slovak Power Holding.

Actuarial reserve – €(1,185) million
This reserve includes actuarial gains and losses in respect 
of employee benefit liabilities, net of tax effects.

Reserve from disposal of equity interests without loss of 
control – €(2,390) million

This item mainly reports:
•  the  gain  posted  on  the  public  offering  of  Enel  Green 
Power shares, net of expenses associated with the dis-
posal and the related taxation;

•  the  sale  of  non-controlling  interests  recognized  as  a 
result of the Enersis (now Enel Américas and Enel Chile) 
capital increase;

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

365

•  the  capital  loss,  net  of  expenses  associated  with  the 
disposal and the related taxation, from the public offer-
ing of 21.92% of Endesa;

•  the disposal to third parties of the non-controlling in-
terest  in  Enel  Green  Power  North  America  Renewable 
Energy Partners;

•  the effects of the merger into Enel Américas of Endesa 

Américas and Chilectra Américas;

•  the effects of the disposal of a 49% stake held by Enel 
Green Power Canada in Pincher Creek LP and Riverview 
LP. 

Reserve from acquisitions of non-controlling interests – 
€(1,213) million

This  reserve  mainly  includes  the  surplus  of  acquisition 
prices  with  respect  to  the  carrying  amount  of  the  equi-
ty acquired following the acquisition from third parties of 

further interests in companies already controlled in Latin 
America.
The change for the year (-€21 million) mainly reflects the 
effects of the merger of Enel Green Power Perú, Energéti-
ca Monzón and Empresa de Generación Eléctrica Los Pi-
nos (merged entities) into Enel Generación Perú (acquiring 
entity),  changing  the  interest  held  by  the  Group  in  those 
companies. 

Retained earnings – €15,096 million
This  reserve  reports  earnings  from  previous  years  that 
have not been distributed or allocated to other reserves.
The  table  below  shows  the  changes  in  gains  and  losses 
recognized  directly  in  other  comprehensive  income,  in-
cluding  non-controlling  interests,  with  specific  reporting 
of the related tax effects.

million).

(2)  Approved by the Board of Directors on November 7, 2023 and paid as from January 24, 2024 (interim dividend of €0.215 per share for a total of €2,186 

million).

Dividends  distributed  are  shown  net  of  amounts  due  to 
treasury  shares  at  the  respective  “record  dates”.  These 
shares  were  waived  for  collection  and  allocated  to  “re-
tained earnings”.
The  dividend  for  2023,  is  equal  to  €0.43  per  share,  for  a 
total of €4,372 million (of which €0.215 per share for a to-
tal of €2,186 million already paid as an interim dividend). It 
will be proposed to the Shareholders’ Meeting of May 23, 
2024 at single call.
These  consolidated  financial  statements  do  not  take  ac-
count  of  the  effects  of  the  distribution  to  shareholders 
of the dividend for 2023, except for the liability in respect 
of  shareholders  for  the  interim  dividend  for  2023,  which 
was  approved  by  the  Board  of  Directors  on  November  7, 
2023 for a potential maximum of €2,186 million, and paid 
as from January 24, 2024 net of the portion pertaining to 
the 10,085,106 treasury shares held as at the record date 
of January 23, 2024.
In  2023  the  Group  also  paid  €182  million  in  coupons  to 
holders of perpetual hybrid bonds.

Capital management
The  Group’s  objectives  for  managing  capital  comprise 
safeguarding  the  business  as  a  going  concern,  creating 
value for stakeholders and supporting the development of 
the  Group.  In  particular,  the  Group  seeks  to  maintain  an 
adequate  capitalization  that  enables  it  to  achieve  a  sat-
isfactory  return  for  shareholders  and  ensure  access  to 
external  sources  of  financing,  in  part  by  maintaining  an 
adequate rating. 
In  this  context,  the  Group  manages  its  capital  structure 
and  adjusts  that  structure  when  changes  in  economic 
conditions so require. There were no substantive changes 
in objectives, policies or processes in 2023.
To this end, the Group constantly monitors developments 
in the level of its debt in relation to equity. The situation at 
December 31, 2023 and 2022 is summarized in the follow-
ing table.

In order to facilitate analysis of developments in Group net financial debt, thereby ensuring greater comparability over time, management has decided 
to exclude the fair value of the cash flow hedge and fair value hedge derivatives used to hedge the exchange rate risk on loans. Accordingly, in order to 
improve the comparability of the figures, it was necessary to recalculate net financial debt at December 31, 2022.

(2)  The figures for 2022 have been adjusted to take account of the effects of the Amendment to IAS 12, which took effect for annual reporting periods begin-

ning on or after January 1, 2023. For more information, please see note 8 “Restatement of comparative disclosures”.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

367

The decrease in the debt/equity ratio, which measures fi-
nancial leverage, is essentially attributable to the increase 
in equity as a result of profit for the year, the increase in 
reserves from the measurement of cash flow hedge deriv-
atives and the change in the scope of the reserve for the 
translation of financial statements in foreign currency, only

The change in non-controlling interests mainly reflects the 
effect of the dividends distributed and the disposal of eq-
uity  stakes  in  Romania.  These  effects  were  offset  by  the 
results for the period, the impact of hyperinflation and the 
value adjustment of cash flow hedge instruments.

The financial disclosure requirements of IFRS 12 for sub-

sidiaries with significant non-controlling interests are re-
ported below.

39. Employee benefits – €2,320 million

The Group provides its employees with a variety of bene-
fits,  including  deferred  compensation  benefits,  addition-
al months’ pay for having reached age limits or eligibility 
for  old-age  pension,  loyalty  bonuses  for  achievement  of 
seniority milestones, supplemental retirement and health-
care  plans,  residential  electricity  discounts  and  similar 
benefits. More specifically:
•  for Italy, the item “pension benefits” regards estimated 
accruals made to cover benefits due under the supple-
mental  retirement  schemes  of  retired  executives  and 
the  benefits  due  to  personnel  under  law  or  contract 
at the time the employment relationship is terminated. 
For the foreign companies, the item refers to post-em-
ployment  benefits,  of  which  the  most  material  regard 
the pension benefit schemes of Endesa in Spain, which 
break down into three types that differ on the basis of 
employee seniority and company. In general, under the 
framework agreement of October 25, 2000, employees 
participate  in  a  specific  defined  contribution  pension 
plan  and,  in  cases  of  disability  or  death  of  employees 
in  service,  a  defined  benefit  plan  which  is  covered  by 
appropriate  insurance  policies.  In  addition,  the  group 
has  two  other  limited-enrollment  plans  (i)  for  current 
and  retired  Endesa  employees  covered  by  the  elec-
tricity  industry  collective  bargaining  agreement  prior 
to the changes introduced with the framework agree-
ment noted earlier and (ii) for employees of the Catalan

companies merged in the past (Fecsa/Enher/HidroEm-
pordà). Both are defined benefit plans and benefits are 
fully insured, with the exception of the former plan for 
benefits in the event of the death of a retired employee. 
Finally,  the  Brazilian  companies  have  also  established 
defined benefit plans;

•  the  item  “electricity  discount”  comprises  benefits  re-
garding electricity supply associated in particular with 
foreign companies;

•  the  item  “health  insurance”  refers  to  benefits  for  cur-
rent or retired employees covering medical expenses;
•  the item “other benefits” mainly regards the loyalty bo-
nus, which is adopted in various countries and for Italy 
is represented by the estimated liability for the benefit 
entitling employees covered by the electricity workers 
national  collective  bargaining  agreement  to  a  bonus 
for achievement of seniority milestones (25th and 35th 
year  of  service).  It  also  includes  other  incentive  plans, 
which provide for the award to certain Company man-
agers of a monetary bonus subject to specified condi-
tions. 

The following table reports changes in the defined bene-
fit  obligation  for  post-employment  and  other  long-term 
employee benefits at December 31, 2023, and December 
31,  2022,  respectively,  as  well  as  a  reconciliation  of  that 
obligation with the actuarial liability.

The  liability  recognized  came  to  €2,320  million,  an  in-
crease  of  €118  million  on  2022  mainly  reflecting  impair-
ment  losses  recognized  in  reflection  of  a  change  in  the 
financial assumptions following the general adverse devel-
opments in rates (discount and inflation rates). In addition 
to normal annual changes, in 2023, the actuarial liabilities 
of  Enel  Generación  Perú  SAA  and  Enel  Distribución  Perú 

SAA in Peru were reclassified as held for sale. Furthermore, 
the actuarial measurement of a plan of Asociación Nucle-
ar  Ascó-Vandellós  II  AIE,  in  Spain,  showed  a  surplus  with 
respect  to  the  obligation  assumed  by  the  company,  and 
was thus reclassified in a specific asset item of the balance 
sheet.

The  change  in  the  cost  recognized  in  profit  or  loss  was 
equal to €22 million. The impact on the income statement 
is, therefore, greater but essentially in line with 2022.
The liability recognized in the statement of financial posi-
tion at the end of the year is reported net of the fair value of 
plan assets, amounting to €2,299 million at December 31, 

2023. The item “actuarial (gains)/losses on defined benefit 
plans” shows an increase on 2022, following the decrease 
in interest rates, compared to the strong increase in 2022.

The sensitivity analysis used an approach that extrapolates 
the effect on the defined benefit obligation of reasonable 
changes in an individual actuarial assumption, leaving the 
other assumptions unchanged.

The contributions expected to be paid into defined benefit 
plans in the subsequent year amount to €243 million.

Nuclear decommissioning provision
At  December  31,  2023  the  provision  reflected  solely  the 
costs  that  would  be  incurred  at  the  time  of  decommis-
sioning of nuclear plants by Enresa, a Spanish public entity 
responsible  for  such  activities  in  accordance  with  Royal 
Decree 1349/2003 and Law 24/2005. In general, the costs 
are quantified on the basis of a standard contract between 
Enresa  and  the  electricity  companies  approved  by  the 
Ministry for the Economy, which regulates the retirement 

and closing of nuclear power plants. The time horizon en-
visaged, three years, corresponds to the period from the 
termination  of  power  generation  to  the  transfer  of  plant 
management to Enresa (so-called post-operational costs) 
and takes account, among the various assumptions used 
to estimate the amount, of the quantity of unused nuclear 
fuel expected at the date of closure of each of the Spanish 
nuclear plants on the basis of the provisions of the con-
cession agreement.

Site retirement, removal and restoration 
provision
This  provision  represents  the  present  value  of  the  esti-
mated cost for the retirement and removal of non-nuclear 
plants where there is a legal or constructive obligation to 
do  so.  The  provision  mainly  regarded  the  Endesa  Group 
and Enel Produzione. The change in the provision in 2023 

was  mainly  linked  to  the  uses  and  releases  of  provisions 
set aside in previous years to deal with the decarboniza-
tion process, mainly in Italy, Spain and Chile. 

The following table summarizes the temporal breakdown 
of payments connected with the site retirement, removal 
and restoration provision.

Litigation provision
The litigation provision covers contingent liabilities in re-
spect of pending litigation and other disputes. It includes 
an  estimate  of  the  potential  liability  relating  to  disputes 
that arose during the year, as well as revised estimates of 
the  potential  costs  associated  with  disputes  initiated  in 
prior years, based on the indications of internal and exter-
nal  consultants.  The  balance  for  litigation  mainly  regards 
the companies in Latin America (€396 million), Spain (€158 
million) and Italy (€116 million). 
The amount is virtually unchanged compared with 2022, as 
the decrease associated with higher uses and releases in 
Brazil was offset by new accruals. 

Provision for environmental certificates
The  provision  for  environmental  certificates  covers  costs 
in  respect  of  shortfalls  in  the  environmental  certificates 
need  for  compliance  with  national  or  supranational  en-
vironmental  protection  requirements  and  mainly  regards 
Iberia (Endesa Energía and Endesa Generación SA).

Provision for taxes and duties
The  provision  for  taxes  and  duties  covers  the  estimated 
liability deriving from tax disputes concerning direct and 
indirect taxes. 
The  balance  of  the  provision  also  includes  the  provision 
for current and potential disputes concerning local prop-
erty  tax  (whether  the  Imposta  Comunale  sugli  Immobili  - 
ICI or the Imposta Municipale Unica - IMU) in Italy. In Italy, 
the Group has taken due account of developments in land 
registry regulations (which with effect from January 1, 2016 
excluded machinery, devices, equipment and other plant 
specific  to  a  production  process  from  the  calculation  of 
the  imputed  rent  for  buildings  classified  in  land  registry 
group  D,  which  includes  generation  plants)  in  estimating 
the liability for such taxes, both for the purposes of quan-
tifying the probable risk associated with pending litigation 
and generating a reasonable valuation of probable future

charges on positions that have not yet been assessed by 
the Revenue Agency and municipalities.

Other provisions
Other  provisions  cover  various  risks  and  charges,  mainly 
in connection with regulatory disputes and disputes with 
local authorities regarding various duties and fees or other 
charges.
The increase of €342 million in other provisions is mainly 
attributable to Enel Reinsurance for accruals of provisions 
for insurance claims (€217 million) and provisions for regu-
latory measures, atmospheric events and faults.

Provision for early retirement incentives and 
other restructuring plans
The  provision  for  early  retirement  incentives  and  other 
restructuring plans includes the estimated charges relat-
ed  to  binding  agreements  for  the  voluntary  termination 
of  employment  contracts  in  response  to  organizational 
needs.  The  reduction  of  €141  million  for  the  year  mainly 
reflects  uses  of  provisions  for  incentives  established  in 
previous period in Spain and Italy to cover the early termi-
nation of employment for certain employees. 

Provision for restructuring programs 
connected with the energy transition
Enel,  in  its  role  as  a  leader  of  the  energy  transition,  has 
placed decarbonization and growth of renewables around 
the world at the center of its strategy. 
In this context, Enel has begun restructuring the activities 
associated  with  the  energy  transition  process,  which  in-
volves thermal generation plants in all the geographical ar-
eas in which the Group operates. The consequent revision 
of  processes  and  operating  models  will  require  changes 
in the roles and skills of employees, which the Group in-
tends  to  implement  with  highly  sustainable  plans  based 
on  redeployment  programs,  with  major  upskilling  and 
reskilling  plans  and  voluntary  individual  early  retirement 

agreements.  The  energy  transition  is  also  based  on  the 
progressive and expansive development of digital tools, as 
digitization is essential to responding to multiple external 
forces  and  making  informed  and  well-considered  deci-
sions at every level within the Group.
A provision was therefore established in 2020 for restruc-
turing programs, which at December 31, 2023 amounted 
to €1,038 million, which is mainly attributable to Spain and 

Italy,  and  represents  the  estimated  costs  that  the  Group 
will  incur  following  the  acceleration  of  the  energy  tran-
sition,  for  all  direct  and  indirect  activities  related  to  the 
review of processes and operating models and the roles 
and skills of employees. New accruals in 2023 mainly re-
gard Spain following the adjustment of €177 million to the 
provision for the Acuerdo Voluntario de Salida (AVS) plan.

The change in “other current liabilities” mainly reflects:
•  the  decrease  in  “amounts  due  to  customers”,  which 
mainly reports the change in security deposits from cus-
tomers  in  Italy  in  line  with  the  decrease  in  the  number 
of customers served by market companies, offset by the 
increase in trade receivables following the restoration of 
distribution system costs. In Italy, the item also includes 
the decrease in various sundry amounts due to custom-
ers, mainly for the amounts relating to VAT recovery on 
uncollected receivables, amounts available to customers 
and  refunds  to  be  made,  on  behalf  of  the  distribution 
companies,  to  customers  moved  from  the  regulated 
market  to  the  free  market  for  exceeding  rate  limits  in 
previous years. The decrease was offset by the increase, 
in the distribution segment, in amounts collected and in 
processing and in liabilities for indemnities;

•  the  increase  in  “amounts  due  to  institutional  market 

44. Trade payables – €15,821 million

The  item  amounted  to  €15,821  million  (€17,641  million  at

electricity supplies, fuel, materials, equipment associated 
with tenders, and other services.

e-distribuzione  SpA,  for  the  progressive  restoration,  in 
2023,  of  charges  relating  to  the  support  of  renewable 
energy  and  cogeneration,  and  of  other  charges  (Asos 
and  Arim  components)  determined  in  ARERA  Resolu-
tions nos. 735/2022, 134/2023, 297/2023 and 419/2023, 
and Spain, in particular Edistribución Redes Digitales, for 
an increase in amounts due to the local regulator Comis-
ión Nacional de los Mercados y la Competencia (CNMC);
•  the increase in liabilities for “dividends” to be distributed 
to shareholders, essentially those of the Parent Company 
Enel SpA and the Spanish subsidiary Endesa SA;

•  the  increase  in  liabilities  in  respect  of  derivatives  to  be 

settled on energy commodities in Italy;

•  the decrease in “other liabilities”, mainly attributable to a 

decline in liabilities in Spain and Brazil.

More specifically, trade payables falling due in less than 12 
months  amounted  to  €15,487  million  (€17,605  million  at 
December 31, 2022) while those falling due in more than 
12 months amounted to €334 million (€36 million at De-

In order to improve the comparability of the figures, it was necessary to recalculate net financial debt at December 31, 2022 in accordance with the new 
representation of net financial debt by the Enel Group. 

The  financial  position  is  reported  in  compliance  with 
Guideline 39, issued on March 4, 2021 by ESMA and ap-
plicable  as  from  May  5,  2021,  and  with  warning  notice

In order to improve the comparability of the figures, it was necessary to recalculate net financial debt at December 31, 2022 in accordance with the new 
representation of net financial debt by the Enel Group.

The  net  position  as  per  CONSOB  instructions  does  not 
include  derivatives  designated  as  hedges  for  hedge  ac-
counting purposes or entered into for trading purposes as 
they are used for hedging. 
At  December  31,  2023  those  financial  assets  and  liabili-
ties  are  reported  separately  in  the  statement  of  financial 
position under the following items: “Non-current financial 
derivative assets” in the amount of €2,383 million (€3,970 

million at December 31, 2022), “Current financial derivative 
assets”  in  the  amount  of  €6,407  million  (€14,830  million 
at  December  31,  2022),  “Non-current  financial  derivative 
liabilities” in the amount of €3,373 million (€5,895 million 
at  December  31,  2022),  and  “Current  financial  derivative

Impairment of financial assets measured at amortized cost
Financial assets measured at amortized cost amounted to 
€34,202 million at December 31, 2023 (€45,788 million at 
December 31, 2022) and are recognized net of allowances 
for  expected  credit  losses  totaling  €4,098  million  at  De-
cember 31, 2023 (€4,087 million at the end of the previous 
year). 
The Group mainly has the following types of financial as-
sets  measured  at  amortized  cost  subject  to  impairment 
testing:
•  cash and cash equivalents;
•  trade receivables and contract assets;
•  loan assets; 
•  other financial assets. 
While  cash  and  cash  equivalents  are  also  subject  to  the 
impairment requirements of IFRS 9, the identified impair-
ment loss was immaterial.

The expected credit loss (ECL) – determined using proba-
bility of default (PD), loss given default (LGD) and exposure 
at default (EAD) – is the difference between all contractual 
cash  flows  that  are  due  in  accordance  with  the  contract 
and all cash flows that are expected to be received (i.e. all 
shortfalls) discounted at the original effective interest rate 
(EIR).
For  calculating  ECL,  the  Group  applies  two  different  ap-
proaches:
•  the  general  approach,  for  financial  assets  other  than 
trade  receivables,  contract  assets  and  lease  receiv-
ables.  This  approach,  based  on  an  assessment  of  any 
significant  increase  in  credit  risk  since  initial  recogni-
tion, is performed comparing the PD at origination with 
PD at the reporting date, at each reporting date.
Then,  based  on  the  results  of  the  assessment,  a  loss 
allowance is recognized based on 12-month ECL or life-
time ECL (i.e. staging):
 – 12-month  ECL,  for  financial  assets  for  which  there 
has  not  been  a  significant  increase  in  credit  risk 
since initial recognition;

 – lifetime ECL, for financial assets for which there has 
been a significant increase in credit risk or which are 
credit impaired (i.e. defaulted based on past due in-
formation);

•  the simplified approach, for trade receivables, contract 
assets  and  lease  receivables  with  or  without  a  signifi-
cant financing component, based on lifetime ECL with-
out tracking changes in credit risk.

A forward-looking adjustment can be applied considering 
qualitative and quantitative information in order to reflect 
future  events  and  macroeconomic  developments  that 
could  impact  the  risk  associated  with  the  portfolio  or  fi-
nancial instrument.

Depending  on  the  nature  of  the  financial  assets  and  the 
credit risk information available, the assessment of the in-
crease in credit risk can be performed on:
•  an individual basis, if the receivables are individually sig-
nificant and for all receivables which have been individ-
ually identified for impairment based on reasonable and 
supportable information; 

•  a collective basis, if no reasonable and supportable in-
formation  is  available  without  undue  cost  or  effort  to 
measure expected credit losses on an individual instru-
ment basis.

When there is no reasonable expectation of recovering a 
financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof, the gross 
carrying amount of the financial asset shall be reduced. 
A  write-off  represents  a  derecognition  event  (e.g.,  the 
right to cash flows is legally or contractually extinguished, 
transferred or expired).

The  following  table  reports  expected  credit  losses  on  fi-
nancial assets measured at amortized cost on the basis of 
the general simplified approach.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

To  measure  expected  losses,  the  Group  assesses  trade 
receivables  and  contract  assets  with  the  simplified  ap-
proach, both on an individual basis (e.g., government enti-
ties, authorities, financial counterparties, wholesale sellers, 
traders  and  large  companies,  etc.)  and  a  collective  basis 
(e.g., retail customers).
In the case of individual assessments, PD is generally ob-
tained from external providers.
Otherwise, in the case of collective assessments, trade re-
ceivables are grouped on the basis of their shared credit 
risk characteristics and information on past due positions, 
considering a specific definition of default.
Based on each business and local regulatory framework, 
as  well  as  differences  between  customer  portfolios,  in-
cluding  their  default  and  recovery  rates  (comprising  ex-
pectations for recovery beyond 90 days):
•  the  Group  mainly  defines  a  defaulted  position  as  one 
that is 180 days past due. Accordingly, beyond this time 
limit, trade receivables are presumed to be credit  im-
paired); and

•  specific  clusters  are  defined  on  the  basis  of  specific 

markets, business and risk characteristics.

Contract assets substantially have the same risk charac-
teristics as trade receivables for the same types of con-
tracts.
In order to measure the ECL for trade receivables on a col-
lective basis, as well as for contract assets, the Group uses 
the following assumptions regarding the ECL parameters:
•  PD, assumed equal to the average default rate, is calcu-
lated by cluster and considering historical data from at 
least 24 months;

•  LGD is a function of the recovery rates for each cluster, 

discounted using the effective interest rate; and

•  EAD is estimated as equal to the carrying amount at the 
reporting date net of cash deposits, including invoices 
issued but not past due and invoices to be issued. 

The  following  table  reports  changes  in  the  allowance  for 
expected credit losses on loan assets in accordance with 
the general approach.

The  amount  of  floating-rate  debt  that  is  not  hedged 
against interest rate risk is the main risk factor that could 

adversely impact profit or loss (raising borrowing costs), in 
the event of an increase in market interest rates.

At December 31,2023, 27.2% of the nominal value of long- 
and medium-term financial debt was floating rate (38.2% 
at  December  31,  2022).  Taking  account  of  hedges  of  in-
terest rates considered effective pursuant to the IFRS-EU, 
22.8% of the nominal value of long- and medium-term fi-
nancial debt was exposed to interest rate risk at Decem-
ber 31, 2023 (34.7% at December 31, 2022). These figures 
are in line with the limits established in the risk manage-
ment policy.

Long-term debt – Main covenants
The  Group’s  main  long-term  financial  liabilities  are  gov-
erned by covenants that are commonly adopted in inter-
national business practice. They include in particular bond 
issues carried out within the framework of the Global/Euro 
Medium-Term Notes program, issues of subordinated un-
convertible  hybrid  bonds  (so-called  “hybrid  bonds”)  and 
loans granted by banks and other financial institutions (in-
cluding the European Investment Bank and Cassa Depositi 
e Prestiti SpA).

The  main  covenants  regarding  bond  issues  carried  out 
within  the  framework  of  the  Global/Euro  Medium-Term 
Notes programs of Enel and Enel Finance International NV 
(including  the  green  bonds  of  Enel  Finance  International 
NV  guaranteed  by  Enel  SpA,  which  are  used  to  finance 
the  Group’s  so-called  eligible  green  projects)  and  those 
regarding bonds issued by Enel Finance International NV 
on the US market guaranteed by Enel SpA can be summa-
rized as follows:
•  negative  pledge  clauses  under  which  the  issuer  and 
the guarantor may not establish or maintain mortgag-
es, liens or other encumbrances on all or part of their 
assets  or  revenue  to  secure  certain  financial  liabilities, 
unless  the  same  encumbrances  are  extended  equally 
or pro rata to the bonds in question;

•  pari passu clauses, under which the bonds and the as-
sociated security constitute a direct, unconditional and 
unsecured  obligation  of  the  issuer  and  the  guarantor 
and are issued without preferential rights among them 
and  have  at  least  the  same  seniority  as  other  present 
and  future  unsubordinated  and  unsecured  bonds  of 
the issuer and the guarantor;

388 Integrated Annual Report 2023

•  cross-default  clauses,  under  which  the  occurrence  of 
a default event in respect of a specified financial liabil-
ity (above a threshold level) of the issuer, the guarantor 
or, in some cases, “significant” subsidiaries, constitutes 
a default in respect of the liabilities in question, which 
become immediately repayable.

Since  2019,  Enel  Finance  International  NV  has  issued  a 
number  of  “sustainable”  bonds  on  the  European  market 
(as  part  of  the  Euro  Medium-Term  Notes  -  EMTN  bond 
issue  program)  and  on  the  American  market,  both  guar-
anteed by Enel SpA, linked to the achievement of a num-
ber  of  the  Sustainable  Development  Goals  (SDGs)  of  the 
United Nations that contain the same covenants as other 
bonds of the same type.
In 2022, Enel Finance America LLC issued a “sustainable” 
bond  of  the  same  type,  guaranteed  by  Enel  SpA,  on  the 
US market.

The main covenants covering Enel’s hybrid bonds, includ-
ing  the  perpetual  hybrid  bond  issues,  which  will  only  be 
repaid in the event of the dissolution or liquidation of the 
Company, can be summarized as follows:
•  subordination  clauses,  under  which  each  hybrid  bond 
is  subordinate  to  all  other  bonds  issued  by  the  com-
pany  and  has  the  same  seniority  with  all  other  hybrid 
financial instruments issued, being senior only to equity 
instruments;

•  prohibition on mergers with other companies, the sale 
or leasing of all or a substantial part of the company’s 
assets to another company, unless the latter succeeds 
in all obligations of the issuer.

The  main  covenants  envisaged  in  the  loan  contracts  of 
Enel SpA and Enel Finance International NV and the other 
Group companies, including the sustainability-linked loan 
facility agreements obtained by Enel SpA, can be summa-
rized as follows:(52)
•  negative  pledge  clauses,  under  which  the  borrower 
and,  in  some  cases,  the  guarantor  are  subject  to  lim-
itations  on  the  establishment  of  mortgages,  liens  or 
other  encumbrances  on  all  or  part  of  their  respective 
assets,  with  the  exception  of  expressly  permitted  en-
cumbrances;

•  disposals  clauses,  under  which  the  borrower  and,  in 
some  cases,  the  guarantor  may  not  dispose  of  their 
assets  or  operations,  with  the  exception  of  expressly 
permitted disposals;

•  pari  passu  clauses,  under  which  the  payment  under-
takings of the borrower have the same seniority as its 
other unsecured and unsubordinated payment obliga-
tions;

•  change  of  control  clauses,  under  which  the  borrower 
and,  in  some  cases,  the  guarantor  could  be  required 
to renegotiate the terms and conditions of the financ-
ing  or  make  compulsory  early  repayment  of  the  loans 
granted; 

•  rating  clauses,  which  provide  for  the  borrower  or  the 
guarantor to maintain their rating above a certain spec-
ified level;

•  cross-default clauses, under which the occurrence of a 
default event in respect of a specified financial liability 
(above a threshold level) of the issuer or, in some cases, 
the guarantor constitutes a default in respect of the li-
abilities in question, which become immediately repay-
able.

In some cases, the covenants are also binding for the sig-
nificant companies or subsidiaries of the obligated parties. 
All the borrowings considered specify “events of default” 
typical of international business practice, such as, for ex-
ample,  insolvency,  bankruptcy  proceedings  or  the  entity 
ceases trading. 

In addition, the guarantees issued by Enel in the interest 
of  e-distribuzione  SpA  for  certain  loans  to  e-distribuzi-
one  SpA  from  Cassa  Depositi  e  Prestiti  SpA  require  that 
at the end of each six-month measurement period Enel’s 
net consolidated financial debt shall not exceed 4.5 times 
annual consolidated EBITDA.

Finally, the debt of Endesa SA, Enel Américas SA, Enel Chile 
SA and the other Spanish and Latin American subsidiaries 
(notably Enel Generación Chile SA) contains covenants and 
events of default typical of international business practice.

(52)  The sustainability-linked loan entered into on September 30, 2022, granted by EKF Denmark’s Export Credit Agency and Citi to Enel Finance America LLC 

as borrower and Enel SpA (as guarantor), provide for a number of additional covenants, such as:
•  a “reputational damage” clause, under which the lending bank can request the cancellation of its financial commitment undertaken by it and the early 
payment of the sums disbursed if it has suffered ascertained harm to its own reputation or that of other persons as a result of substantial breach of certain 
regulations;
• the commitment, also of the guarantor, to ensure compliance with certain environmental and social regulations and standards.

•  $5,000 million (equivalent to €4,526 million at Decem-

ber 31, 2023) of Enel Finance America.

At December 31, 2023, the whole amount of commercial 
paper  issues,  equal  to  €2,499  million,  was  linked  to  sus-
tainability objectives.

Sustainability-linked finance at Enel 
The new sustainability-linked bond issues, together with all 
the sustainable financing arranged in the last year, made it 
possible to reach a 64% ratio of sustainable sources of fi-
nancing to the Group’s total gross debt at the end of 2023, 
with a goal of reaching around 70% in 2026. 

Shown  below  are  the  KPIs  and  targets  included  in  the

Developments in the indicators shown in the table are pe-
riodically verified by an external auditor.

The  war  in  Ukraine  and  the  resulting  restrictions  on  gas 
imports from Russia into the EU, which caused a decrease 
in gas supplies accompanied by a surge in wholesale elec-
tricity and gas prices, with serious effects for households 
and businesses, prompted EU governments to implement 
a series of policy responses to mitigate the impact of ris-
ing costs and ensure the stability of the energy system.

Despite these policy measures, the Group managed to re-
duce direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions along 
the  entire  value  chain  by  26.3%  overall  compared  with 
the  previous  year.  Furthermore,  the  Group  also  reduced 
the intensity of Scope 1 GHG emissions related to power 
generation by over 30.6%, going from 229 gCO2eq/kWh in 
2022 to 160 gCO2eq/kWh in 2023. This reduction reflected 
a  12.9%  increase  in  consolidated  renewables  generation 
and a 37.5% reduction in consolidated thermal generation 
compared with 2022, a consequence of the Group’s strat-
egy to shift its generation mix towards renewables and to 
advance the decarbonization process.

However, due to the unprecedented crisis faced by the Eu-
ropean energy system in 2022 and 2023, the Group’s emis-
sions  reduction  in  2023  was  not  sufficient  to  achieve  the 
Scope 1 GHG emissions intensity target related to electric-
ity generation set for 2023 as announced on the occasion 
of the Capital Markets Day held in November 2020 for the 
launch of the 2021-2023 Strategic Plan. As a result of the 
energy crisis, the intensity value was slightly higher than the 
target of 148 gCO2eq/kWh. In the absence of these factors, 
Enel would have been able to reach an emissions intensity 
level well below the target of 148 gCO2eq/kWh. 

As  a  result,  the  Group’s  sustainability-linked  instruments 
that  set  the  Scope  1  emissions  intensity  target  for  elec-
tricity generation at 148 gCO2eq/kWh for 2023 will be sub-
ject to an increase in the relative step-up.

49. Risk management

Financial risk management governance and 
objectives
As part of its operations, the Enel Group is exposed to a 
variety  of  financial  risks,  notably  interest  rate  risk,  com-
modity risk, currency risk, credit and counterparty risk and 
liquidity risk. 
As noted in the section “Risk management” in the Report 
on Operations, the Group’s governance arrangements for 
financial risks include risk committees and the establish-
ment  of  dedicated  policies,  measurement  metrics  and 
operational  limits.  Enel’s  primary  objective  is  to  mitigate 
financial risks appropriately so that they do not give rise to 
unexpected changes in results.
The following sections detail the above financial risks.
There were no changes in the sources of exposure to such 
risks compared with the previous year.

Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk derives primarily from the use of financial 
instruments and manifests itself as unexpected changes 
in charges on financial liabilities, if indexed to floating rates 
and/or exposed to the uncertainty of financial terms and 
conditions in negotiating new debt instruments, or as an 
unexpected  change  in  the  value  of  financial  instruments 
measured at fair value (such as fixed-rate debt).
The  main  financial  liabilities  held  by  the  Group  include 
bonds,  bank  borrowings,  borrowings  from  other  lenders, 
commercial paper, derivatives, cash deposits received to

note 51 “Derivatives and hedge accounting”.

Interest rate risk sensitivity analysis 
Enel analyzes the sensitivity of its exposure by estimating 
the effects of a change in interest rates on the portfolio of 
financial instruments. 
More  specifically,  sensitivity  analysis  measures  the  po-
tential  impact  on  profit  or  loss  and  on  equity  of  market 
scenarios  that  would  cause  a  change  in  the  fair  value  of 
derivatives or in the financial expense associated with un-
hedged gross debt.

secure  commercial  or  derivative  contracts  (guarantees, 
cash collateral).
The Enel Group mainly manages interest rate risk through 
the  definition  of  an  optimal  financial  structure,  with  the 
dual goal of stabilizing borrowing costs and containing the 
cost of funds. 
This  goal  is  pursued  through  the  diversification  of  the 
portfolio  of  financial  liabilities  by  contract  type,  maturity 
and  interest  rate,  and  modifying  the  risk  profile  of  spe-
cific exposures using OTC derivatives, mainly interest rate 
swaps and interest rate options. The term of such deriv-
atives does not exceed the maturity of the underlying fi-
nancial liability, so that any change in the fair value and/or 
expected cash flows of such contracts is offset by a corre-
sponding change in the fair value and/or cash flows of the 
hedged position. 
Proxy hedging techniques can be used in a number of re-
sidual  circumstances,  when  the  hedging  instruments  for 
the risk factors are not available on the market or are not 
sufficiently liquid.
Using interest rate swaps, the Enel Group agrees with the 
counterparty  to  periodically  exchange  floating-rate  in-
terest flows with fixed-rate flows, both calculated on the 
same notional principal amount.

The following table reports the notional amount of interest 
rate derivatives at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 
2022, broken down by type of contract.

These  market  scenarios  are  obtained  by  simulating  par-
allel increases and decreases in the yield curve as at the 
reporting date.
There  were  no  changes  introduced  in  the  methods  and 
assumptions  used  in  the  sensitivity  analysis  compared 
with the previous year.
With all other variables held constant, the Group’s pre-tax 
profit would be affected by a change in the level of interest 
rates as follows:

At  December  31,  2023,  22.3%  (22.3%  at  December  31, 
2022)  of  the  nominal  value  of  gross  long-term  financial 
debt  was  floating  rate.  Taking  account  of  effective  cash 
flow  hedges  of  interest  rate  risk  (in  accordance  with  the 
provisions of the IFRS-EU), 82.4% of the nominal value of 
gross long-term financial debt was hedged at December 
31, 2023 (82.0% at December 31, 2022).

Currency risk 
Currency  risk  mainly  manifests  itself  as  unexpected 
changes in the financial statement items associated with 
transactions  denominated  in  a  currency  other  than  the 
presentation currency. The Group’s consolidated financial 
statements are also exposed to translation risk as a result 
of  the  conversion  of  the  financial  statements  of  foreign 
subsidiaries,  which  are  denominated  in  local  currencies, 
into euros as the Group’s presentation currency. 
The Group’s exposure to currency risk is connected with 
the purchase or sale of fuels and power, investments (cash 
flows for capitalized costs), dividends and the purchase or 
sale  of  equity  investments,  commercial  transactions  and 
financial assets and liabilities.
The Group policies for managing currency risk provide for 
the mitigation of the effects on profit or loss of changes 
in  the  level  of  exchange  rates,  with  the  exception  of  the 
translation effects connected with consolidation.
In  order  to  minimize  the  exposure  to  currency  risk,  Enel 
implements  diversified  revenue  and  cost  sources  geo-
graphically, and uses indexing mechanisms in commercial 
contracts. Enel also uses various types of derivatives, typi-
cally on the OTC market.

struments  include  cross  currency  interest  rate  swaps, 
currency forwards and currency swaps. The term of such 
contracts does not exceed the maturity of the underlying 
instrument, so that any change in the fair value and/or ex-
pected cash flows of such instruments offsets the corre-
sponding change in the fair value and/or cash flows of the 
hedged position.
Cross currency interest rate swaps are used to transform a 
long-term financial liability denominated in currency other 
than the presentation currency into an equivalent liability 
in the presentation currency. 
Currency  forwards  are  contracts  in  which  the  counter-
parties agree to exchange principal amounts denominat-
ed  in  different  currencies  at  a  specified  future  date  and 
exchange  rate  (the  strike).  Such  contracts  may  call  for 
the actual exchange of the two principal amounts (deliv-
erable forwards) or payment of the difference generated 
by differences between the strike exchange rate and the 
prevailing exchange rate at maturity (non-deliverable for-
wards).  In  the  latter  case,  the  strike  rate  and/or  the  spot 
rate can be determined as averages of the rates observed 
in a given period.
Currency swaps are contracts in which the counterparties 
enter into two transactions of the opposite sign at differ-
ent  future  dates  (normally  one  spot,  the  other  forward) 
that provide for the exchange of principal denominated in 
different currencies.

actions outstanding at December 31, 2023 and December

More specifically, these include:
•  CCIRSs  with  a  notional  amount  of  €25,890  million  to 
hedge the currency risk on debt denominated in cur-
rencies other than the euro (€28,444 million at Decem-
ber 31, 2022);

•  currency forwards and cross currency swaps with a to-
tal notional amount of €9,630 million used to hedge the 
currency risk associated with purchases of natural gas 
and  fuel  and  expected  cash  flows  in  currencies  other 
than the euro (€13,725 million at December 31, 2022).

“Other currency forwards” include OTC derivatives trans-
actions  carried  out  to  mitigate  currency  risk  on  expect-
ed  cash  flows  in  currencies  other  than  the  presentation 
currency.  This  includes  transactions  connected  with  the 
purchase  of  investment  goods  in  the  renewables  sector 
(including battery energy storage systems), as well as in-
frastructure  and  grids  sectors  (as  new  generation  digital 
meters) and operating costs for the supply of cloud ser-
vices and on revenue from the sale of renewable energy.

At December 31, 2023, 49% (51% at December 31, 2022) 
of Group long-term debt was denominated in currencies 

other than the euro.
Taking account of hedges of currency risk, the percentage 
of debt not hedged against that risk amounted to 18% at 
December 31, 2023 (18% at December 31, 2022). 

Currency risk sensitivity analysis 
The Group analyzes the sensitivity of its exposure by es-
timating the effects of a change in exchange rates on the 
portfolio of financial instruments. 
More specifically, sensitivity analysis measures the poten-
tial impact on profit or loss and equity of market scenarios 
that would cause a change in the fair value of derivatives 
or  in  the  financial  expense  associated  with  unhedged 
gross medium/long-term debt.
These scenarios are obtained by simulating the appreci-
ation/depreciation  of  the  euro  against  all  of  the  curren-
cies compared with the value observed as at the reporting 
date.
There  were  no  changes  in  the  methods  or  assumptions 
used in the sensitivity analysis compared with the previous 
year.
With  all  other  variables  held  constant,  the  pre-tax  profit 
would be affected by changes in exchange rates as follows.

Commodity price risk 
The risk of fluctuations in the price of energy commodities 
such as electricity, gas, oil, CO2, and raw materials such as 
minerals and metals is generated by the volatility of pric-
es and structural correlations between them, which  cre-
ate  uncertainty  in  the  margin  on  purchases  and  sales  of 
electricity and fuels and materials at variable prices (e.g., 
indexed bilateral contracts, transactions on the spot mar-
ket, etc.). 
The  exposures  on  indexed  contracts  are  quantified  by 
breaking down the contracts that generate exposure into 
the underlying risk factors.
To  contain  the  effects  of  fluctuations  and  stabilize  mar-
gins,  in  accordance  with  the  policies  and  operating  lim-
its determined by the Group’s governance and leaving an 
appropriate  margin  of  flexibility  to  seize  any  short-term 

opportunities  that  may  present  themselves,  Enel  devel-
ops  and  plans  strategies  that  impact  the  various  phases 
of the industrial process linked to the production and sale 
of electricity and gas (such as forward procurement and 
long-term  commercial  agreements),  as  well  as  risk  miti-
gation  plans  and  techniques  using  derivative  contracts 
(hedging).
As regards electricity sold by the Group, Enel mainly uses 
fixed-price contracts in the form of bilateral physical con-
tracts  (Power  Purchase  Agreements,  or  PPAs)  and  finan-
cial contracts (e.g., contracts for differences, Virtual Power 
Purchase Agreements or VPPAs, etc.) in which differences 
are paid to the counterparty if the market electricity price 
exceeds the strike price and to Enel in the opposite case.

The residual exposure in respect of the sale of energy on 
the spot market not hedged with such contracts is aggre-
gated  by  uniform  risk  factors  that  can  be  managed  with 
hedging transactions on the market. Proxy hedging tech-
niques can be used for the industrial portfolios when the 
hedging instruments for the specific risk factors generat-
ing the exposure are not available on the market or are not 
sufficiently liquid. In addition, Enel uses portfolio hedging 
techniques to assess opportunities for netting intercom-
pany exposures. 
The Group mainly uses plain vanilla derivatives for hedging 
(more specifically, forwards, swaps, options on commodi-
ties, futures, contracts for differences).
Some of these products can be indexed to a variety of un-
derlyings (coal, gas, oil, CO2, different geographical areas, 
etc.) and the approaches can be assessed and adapted to 
specific needs.

Enel also engages in proprietary trading in order to main-
tain  a  presence  in  the  Group’s  reference  energy  com-
modity  markets.  These  operations  consist  in  taking  on 
exposures in energy commodities (oil products, gas, coal, 
CO2 certificates and electricity) using financial derivatives 
and physical contracts traded on regulated and over-the-
counter markets, optimizing profits through transactions 
carried out on the basis of expected market developments 
while always complying with the limits set on the basis of 
portfolio risk analysis.

Commodity price risk sensitivity analysis 
The following table presents the results of the analysis of 
sensitivity  to  a  reasonably  possible  change  in  the  com-
modity prices underlying the valuation model used in the 
scenario  at  the  same  date,  with  all  other  variables  held 
constant. 
The impact on pre-tax profit of shifts of +15% and -15% in 

the  price  curve  for  the  main  commodities  that  make  up 
the fuel scenario and the basket of formulas used in the 
contracts is mainly attributable to the change in the price 
of electricity, gas and petroleum products and, to a lesser 
extent,  of  CO2.  The  impact  on  equity  of  the  same  shifts 
in the price curve is primarily due to changes in the price 
of electricity, petroleum products and, to a lesser extent, 
CO2.  The  Group’s  exposure  to  changes  in  the  prices  of 
other commodities is not material.

Credit and counterparty risk 
The Group’s commercial, commodity and financial trans-
actions  expose  it  to  credit  risk,  i.e.  the  possibility  that  a 
deterioration in the creditworthiness of a counterparty or 
the  failure  to  discharge  contractual  payment  obligations 
could lead to the interruption of incoming cash flows and 
an increase in collection costs (settlement risk), as well as 
lower revenue flows due to the replacement of the original 
transactions with similar transactions negotiated on unfa-
vorable market conditions (replacement risk). Other risks 
include the reputational and financial risks associated with 
significant exposures to a single counterparty or groups of 
related  customers,  or  to  counterparties  operating  in  the 
same sector or in the same geographical area.

Accordingly, the exposure to credit and counterparty risk 
is attributable to the following types of transactions:
•  the  sale  and  distribution  of  electricity  and  gas  in  free 
and  regulated  markets  and  the  supply  of  goods  and 
services  (trade  receivables  in  respect  of  non-Group 
debtors);

•  trading  activities  that  involve  the  physical  exchange 
of  assets  or  transactions  in  financial  instruments  (the 
commodity portfolio);

•  trading in derivatives, bank deposits and, more gener-

ally, financial instruments (the financial portfolio).

In  order  to  minimize  credit  and  counterparty  risk,  cred-
it  exposures  are  managed  at  the  region/country/global 
business line level by different units, thereby ensuring the 
necessary  segregation  of  risk  management  and  control 
activities. Monitoring the consolidated exposure is carried 
out by Enel SpA. 

In addition, at the Group level the policy provides for the 
use  of  uniform  criteria  –  in  the  region/countries/global 
business lines and at the consolidated level – in measuring 
commercial credit exposures in order to promptly identify 
any deterioration in the quality of outstanding receivables 
and any mitigation actions to be taken. 
The policy for managing credit and counterparty risk as-
sociated with commercial activities provides for a prelimi-
nary assessment of the creditworthiness of counterparties 
and the adoption of mitigation instruments, such as ob-
taining collateral or unsecured guarantees.
In  addition,  the  Group  undertakes  transactions  to  factor 
receivables  without  recourse,  which  results  in  the  com-
plete derecognition of the corresponding assets involved 
in the factoring, as the risks and rewards associated with 
them have been transferred.
Finally,  with  regard  to  financial  and  commodity  transac-
tions, risk mitigation is pursued with a uniform system for 
assessing counterparties at the Group level, including im-
plementation at the level of region/countries/global busi-
ness  lines,  as  well  as  with  the  adoption  of  specific  stan-
dardized contractual frameworks that contain risk mitiga-
tion clauses (e.g., netting arrangements) and possibly the 
exchange of cash collateral.
Despite the deterioration in the collection status of some 
customer segments, which was taken into account in the 
assessment  of  the  impairment  of  trade  receivables,  to 
date  the  Group  portfolio  has  displayed  resilience  to  the 
current macroeconomic context and price scenario. This 
reflects  the  strengthening  of  digital  collection  channels 
and a sound diversification of the customer base.

Liquidity risk 
Liquidity  risk  manifests  itself  as  uncertainty  about  the 
Group’s ability to discharge its obligations associated with 
financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or an-
other financial asset.
Enel manages liquidity risk by implementing measures to 
ensure  an  appropriate  level  of  liquid  financial  resources, 
minimizing the associated opportunity cost and maintain-
ing a balanced debt structure in terms of its maturity pro-
file and funding sources.
In the short term, liquidity risk is mitigated by maintaining 
an appropriate level of unconditionally available resources, 
including liquidity on hand and short-term deposits, avail-

able committed credit lines and a portfolio of highly liquid 
assets.
In the long term, liquidity risk is mitigated by maintaining a 
balanced maturity profile for our debt, access to a range 
of  sources  of  funding  on  different  markets,  in  different 
currencies and with diverse counterparties.
The mitigation of liquidity risk enables the Group to main-
tain a credit rating that ensures access to the capital mar-
ket and limits the cost of funds, with a positive impact on 
its financial position and performance.

The Group holds the following undrawn lines of credit and 
commercial paper programs.

50. Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities

At December 31, 2023 the Group did not hold offset po-
sitions in assets and liabilities, as it is not the Enel Group’s 
policy to settle financial assets and liabilities on a net basis.

51. Derivatives and hedge accounting

The following tables show the notional amount and the fair 
value of derivative financial assets and derivative financial 
liabilities  eligible  for  hedge  accounting  or  measured  at 
FVTPL, classified on the basis of the type of hedge rela-
tionship  and  the  hedged  risk,  broken  down  into  current 
and non-current instruments.

The notional amount of a derivative contract is the amount 
on  the  basis  of  which  cash  flows  are  exchanged.  This 
amount can be expressed as a value or a quantity (for ex-
ample  tons,  converted  into  euros  by  multiplying  the  no-
tional amount by the agreed price). Amounts denominated 
in currencies other than the euro are translated at the offi-
cial closing exchange rates provided by the World Markets 
Refinitiv (WMR) Company.

51.1 Derivatives designated as hedging 
instruments
Derivatives  are  initially  recognized  at  fair  value,  on  the 
trade date of the contract, and are subsequently re-mea-
sured  at  their  fair  value.  The  method  of  recognizing  the 
resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative is 
designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature 
of the item being hedged.
Hedge accounting is applied to derivatives entered into in 
order  to  reduce  risks  such  as  interest  rate  risk,  currency 
risk, commodity price risk (including Virtual PPAs) when all 
the criteria provided by IFRS 9 are met.
At  the  inception  of  the  transaction,  the  Group  docu-
ments the relationship between hedging instruments and 
hedged  items,  as  well  as  its  risk  management  objectives 
and strategy. The Group also documents its assessment, 
both  at  hedge  inception  and  on  an  ongoing  basis,  of 
whether hedging instruments are highly effective in offset-
ting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items.
For  cash  flow  hedges  of  forecast  transactions  designat-
ed as hedged items, the Group assesses and documents 
that they are highly probable and present an exposure to 
changes in cash flows that affect profit or loss.
Depending on the nature of the risk exposure, the Group 
designates derivatives as either:
•  fair value hedges; 
•  cash flow hedges.
For more details about the nature and the extent of risks 
arising  from  financial  instruments  to  which  the  Group  is 
exposed, please see note 49 “Risk management”.
To  be  effective  a  hedge  relationship  shall  meet  all  of  the 
following criteria:

•  existence of an economic relationship between hedg-

ing instrument and hedged item;

•  the  effect  of  credit  risk  does  not  dominate  the  value 
changes resulting from the economic relationship;
•  the  hedge  ratio  defined  at  initial  designation  shall  be 
equal to the one used for risk management purposes 
(i.e.  same  quantity  of  the  hedged  item  that  the  entity 
actually hedges and the quantity of the hedging instru-
ment that the entity actually uses to hedge the quantity 
of the hedged item). 

Based  on  the  IFRS  9  requirements,  the  existence  of  an 
economic relationship is evaluated by the Group through 
a  qualitative  assessment  or  a  quantitative  computation, 
depending on the following circumstances:
•  if the underlying risk of the hedging instrument and the 
hedged item is the same, the existence of an economic 
relationship will be provided through a qualitative anal-
ysis;

•  on the other hand, if the underlying risk of the hedging 
instrument  and  the  hedged  item  is  not  the  same,  the 
existence of the economic relationship will be demon-
strated through a quantitative method in addition to a 
qualitative analysis of the nature of the economic rela-
tionship (i.e. linear regression). 

In order to demonstrate that the behavior of the hedging 
instrument is in line with that of the hedged item, different 
scenarios will be analyzed.
For hedging of commodity price risk, the existence of an 
economic  relationship  is  deduced  from  a  ranking  matrix 
that defines, for each possible risk component, a set of all 
standard derivatives available in the market whose ranking 

402 Integrated Annual Report 2023

is based on their effectiveness in hedging the considered 
risk.
In order to evaluate the credit risk effects, the Group con-
siders the existence of risk mitigating measures (collateral, 
mutual break-up clauses, netting agreements, etc.).

The  Group  has  established  a  hedge  ratio  of  1:1  for  all 
the  hedge  relationships  (including  commodity  price  risk 
hedging) as the underlying risk of the hedging derivative is 
identical to the hedged risk, in order to minimize hedging 
ineffectiveness. 
The  hedge  ineffectiveness  will  be  evaluated  through  a 
qualitative assessment or a quantitative computation, de-
pending on the following circumstances:
•  if  the  critical  terms  of  the  hedged  item  and  hedging 
instrument  match  and  there  are  no  other  sources  of 
ineffectiveness including the credit risk adjustment on 
the  hedging  derivative,  the  hedge  relationship  will  be 
considered  fully  effective  on  the  basis  of  a  qualitative 
assessment;

•  if the critical terms of the hedged item and hedging in-
strument do not match or there is at least one source 
of  ineffectiveness,  the  hedge  ineffectiveness  will  be 
quantified applying the dollar offset cumulative meth-
od with hypothetical derivative. This method compares 
changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument and 
the hypothetical derivative between the reporting date 
and the inception date.

The main causes of hedge ineffectiveness can be the fol-
lowing: 
•  basis differences (i.e. the fair value or cash flows of the 
hedged item depend on a variable that is different from 
the variable that causes the fair value or cash flows of 
the hedging instrument to change);

•  timing differences (i.e. the hedged item and hedging in-

strument occur or are settled at different dates);

•  quantity or notional amount differences (i.e. the hedged 
item  and  hedging  instrument  are  based  on  different 
quantities or notional amounts);

•  other risks (i.e. changes in the fair value or cash flows of 
a derivative hedging instrument or hedged item relate 
to risks other than the specific risk being hedged);
•  credit  risk  (i.e.  the  counterparty  credit  risk  differently 
impacts  the  changes  in  the  fair  value  of  the  hedging 
instruments and hedged items).

Fair value hedges
Fair  value  hedges  are  mainly  used  to  protect  the  Group 
against exposures to changes in the fair value of liabilities 
or  firm  commitment  attributable  to  a  particular  risk  that 
could affect profit or loss.
Changes in the fair value of derivatives that qualify and are 
designated as hedging instruments are recognized in the 
income statement, together with changes in the fair val-

ue of the hedged item that are attributable to the hedged 
risk.
If  the  hedge  no  longer  meets  the  criteria  for  hedge  ac-
counting,  the  adjustment  to  the  carrying  amount  of  a 
hedged  item  for  which  the  effective  interest  rate  meth-
od is used is amortized to profit or loss over the period to 
maturity.

Cash flow hedges
Cash flow hedges are applied in order to hedge the Group 
exposure to changes in future cash flows that are attribut-
able to a particular risk associated with a recognized asset 
or liability or a highly probable transaction that could af-
fect profit or loss.
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of deriv-
atives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges 
is recognized in other comprehensive income. The gain or 
loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized imme-
diately in the income statement.
Amounts  accumulated  in  equity  are  reclassified  to  profit 
or loss in the periods when the hedged item affects profit 
or loss (for example, when the hedged forecast sale takes 
place).
If the hedged item results in the recognition of a non-fi-
nancial asset (i.e. property, plant and equipment or inven-
tories, etc.) or a non-financial liability, or a hedged forecast 
transaction  for  a  non-financial  asset  or  a  non-financial 
liability  becomes  a  firm  commitment  for  which  fair  value 
hedge accounting is applied, the amount accumulated in 
equity (i.e. hedging reserve) shall be removed and included 
in the initial amount (cost or other carrying amount) of the 
asset or the liability hedged (i.e. “basis adjustment”).
When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, or when a 
hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, 
any cumulative gain or loss existing in equity at that time 
remains  in  equity  and  is  recognized  when  the  forecast 
transaction is ultimately recognized in the income state-
ment. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected 
to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in 
equity is immediately transferred to the income statement.
For  hedge  relationships  using  forwards  as  a  hedging  in-
strument, where only the change in the value of the spot 
element  is  designated  as  the  hedging  instrument,  ac-
counting for the forward element (profit or loss vs OCI) is 
defined case by case. This approach is actually applied by 
the Group for hedging of currency risk on renewables as-
sets. 
Conversely,  for  hedge  relationships  using  cross  currency 
interest  rate  swaps  as  hedging  instruments,  the  Group 
separates  foreign  currency  basis  spread,  in  designating 
the  hedging  derivative,  and  present  them  in  other  com-
prehensive income (OCI) as hedging costs.
With  specific  regard  to  cash  flow  hedges  of  commodity 
risk,  in  order  to  improve  their  consistency  with  the  risk 
management strategy, the Enel Group applies a dynamic 

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

403

hedge  accounting  approach  based  on  specific  liquidity 
requirements (the so-called liquidity-based approach).
This approach requires the designation of hedges through 
the use of the most liquid derivatives available on the mar-
ket and replacing them with others that are more effective 
in covering the risk in question.
Consistent with the risk management strategy, the liquid-
ity-based  approach  allows  the  roll-over  of  a  derivative  by 
replacing it with a new derivative, not only in the event of ex-
piry but also during the hedge relationship, if and only if the 
new derivative meets both of the following requirements:
•  it represents a best proxy of the old derivative in terms 

of ranking;

•  it meets specific liquidity requirements.
Satisfaction of these requirements is verified quarterly.
At the roll-over date, the hedge relationship is not discon-
tinued.  Accordingly,  starting  from  that  date,  changes  in 
the  effective  fair  value  of  the  new  derivative  will  be  rec-
ognized in equity (the hedging reserve), while changes in 
the fair value of the old derivative are recognized through 
profit or loss.

Reform of benchmarks for the determination of interest 
rates – IBOR reform

Overview
Interbank Offered Rates (“IBORs”) are benchmark rates at 
which banks can borrow funds on the interbank market on 
an unsecured basis for a given period ranging from over-
night to 12 months, in a specific currency.
In recent years there have been a number of cases of ma-
nipulation of these rates by the banks contributing to their 
calculation.  For  this  reason,  regulators  around  the  world 
have  begun  a  sweeping  reform  of  interest  rate  bench-
marks that includes the replacement of some benchmarks 
with alternative risk-free rates (the IBOR reform).
The Group’s main exposure is based on Euribor.
Euribor  is  still  considered  compliant  with  the  European 
Benchmarks  Regulation  (BMR)  and  this  permits  market 
participants to continue to use it for both existing and new 
contracts.
In line with the most recent guidance issued by the major 
regulatory  bodies,  the  1-month,  3-month  and  6-month 
USD  LIBOR  benchmarks  have  become  unrepresentative 
after  June  30,  2023  and  the  alternative  reference  rate  is 
the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR).
As a result of the IBOR reform, a number of temporary ex-
ceptions to the rules on hedge relationships have been al-
lowed in implementation of the amendments to IFRS 9 is-
sued in September 2019 (Phase 1) and August 2020 (Phase 
2) to address, respectively:
•  pre-replacement issues that impact financial reporting 
in the period preceding the replacement of an existing 
interest  rate  benchmark  with  an  alternative  risk-free 
rate (Phase 1); and

•  post-replacement  issues  that  could  impact  financial 
reporting  when  an  existing  interest  rate  benchmark  is 
reformed or replaced and there is no longer any initial 
uncertainty, but hedge contracts and relationships still 
need to be updated to reflect the new benchmark rates 
(Phase 2).

Impact of the IBOR reform on the Group
In a context of uncertainty regarding the IBOR transition in 
the various countries, the Group has determined the over-
all number and nominal value of the contracts impacted by 
the reform. In addition, a number of contractual amend-
ments have previously been implemented in contracts in-
dexed to GBP LIBOR in 2021 and others have been imple-
mented in 2023, considering that, as already mentioned, 
USD LIBOR benchmarks have become unrepresentative as 
from June 30, 2023.

Debt and derivatives
The  Group’s  floating  rate  debt  is  mainly  benchmarked 
against Euribor and is almost entirely hedged using finan-
cial derivatives.
At  the  reporting  date,  the  Group  is  planning  to  take  no 
action  with  regard  to  Euribor  since,  as  stated  above,  this 
benchmark  has  been  comprehensively  reformed  to  com-
ply with the European Benchmarks Regulation. Despite the 
continuity  with  Euribor,  replacement  clauses  may  be  re-
quired and could therefore be implemented by the Group 
in  the  new  contracts  in  accordance  with  the  evolution  of 
accepted market practice.
During 2023, the Group obtained new dollar loans indexed 
to  SOFR  and  focused  on  the  implementation  of  how  to 
change all exposures from USD LIBOR to USD SOFR.
The  Group’s  derivative  instruments  are  managed  through 
contracts that are mainly based on framework agreements 
defined by the International Swaps and Derivatives Associ-
ation (ISDA).
The ISDA has revised its standardized contracts in light of 
the  IBOR  reform  and  amended  the  choices  for  floating 
rates within the 2006 ISDA definitions to include replace-
ment clauses that would apply upon the permanent discon-
tinuation of specific key benchmarks. These changes took 
effect on January 25, 2021. Transactions represented in the 
2006  ISDA  definitions  carried  out  on  January  25,  2021  or 
later include adjusted floating-rate options (e.g., the choice 
of floating rate with replacement clause), while transactions 
completed before that date (previous derivative contracts) 
continue to be based on the 2006 ISDA definitions.
For  this  reason,  the  ISDA  published  an  IBOR  Fallback  Pro-
tocol  to  facilitate  multilateral  amendments  to  include  the 
amended definitions.
As  regards  Euribor,  the  Group  is  assessing  whether  to:  (i) 
adopt that protocol in the light of its exposure and devel-
opments  in  the  IBOR  reform  or  (ii)  adjust  in  advance  any 
contracts impacted bilaterally by the reform.

404 Integrated Annual Report 2023

Hedge relationships
At the reporting date, hedged items and hedging instru-
ments are primarily indexed to Euribor, SOFR and SONIA.
The  Group  has  assessed  the  impact  of  uncertainty  en-
gendered  by  the  IBOR  reform  on  hedge  relationships  at 
December  31,  2023  with  reference  to  both  hedging  in-
struments and hedged items. Both the hedged items and 
the hedging instruments have changed their parameter-
ization from interbank market-based benchmarks (IBORs) 
to alternative risk-free rates (RFRs) as a result of the con-
tractual amendments that have taken effect. 
In  particular,  in  order  to  manage  the  uncertainty  associ-
ated  with  both  hedging  instruments  and  hedged  items 
indexed to USD LIBOR, until June 30, 2023 the Group has 
continued to apply the temporary exceptions provided for 
in  the  amendments  to  IFRS  9  issued  in  September  2019 
(Phase 1). It was therefore felt that the benchmark indices 
for determining the interest rates on which the cash flows 
of the hedged items or the hedging instruments are based 
would not change as a consequence of the IBOR reform. 
The  exception  was  applied  for  the  following  hedge  rela-
tionship requirements:
•  determining if a forecast transaction is highly probable;
•  establishing whether the future hedged cash flows will 
arise in a discontinued cash flow hedge relationship;
•  assessing  the  economic  relationship  between  the 

hedged item and the hedging instrument.

The  hedge  relationships  impacted  may  have  become  in-
effective due to different replacements of existing bench-

marks  with  alternative  risk-free  benchmarks.  In  order  to 
avoid  that  risk,  the  Group  has  sought  to  implement  the 
replacements at the same time.
In addition, the Group changed the reference to USD LI-
BOR in its interest rate hedging instruments used in cash 
flow  hedge  relationships  with  the  new,  economically 
equivalent,  SOFR  benchmark  in  2023.  Consequently,  the 
Group no longer applies the amendments to IFRS 9 issued 
in September 2019 (Phase 1) to these hedge relationships 
and,  consequently,  is  applying  the  amendments  to  IFRS 
9  issued  in  August  2020  (Phase  2),  modifying  the  formal 
designation of the hedge relationship as required by the 
IBOR reform and without considering this event as a ter-
mination of the hedge relationship.
Furthermore, for cash flow hedge relationships, in modify-
ing the description of the hedged item in the hedge rela-
tionship, the amounts accumulated in the cash flow hedge 
reserve  were  considered  on  the  basis  of  the  alternative 
benchmark  index  in  relation  to  which  the  future  hedged 
cash flows are determined.

The  notional  amount  of  derivatives  classified  as  hedging 
instruments at December 31, 2023 came to €7,926 million, 
with a corresponding positive fair value of €141 million.

Compared with December 31, 2022, the notional amount 
increased by €171 million, mainly reflecting:
•  the  expiry  of  interest  rate  swaps  amounting  to  €159 

million;

•  early  closure  of  interest  rate  swaps  for  an  amount  of 
€150 million, following early redemption of the under-
lying; 

•  new interest rate swaps amounting to €800 million;
•  the reduction in the notional amount of amortizing in-

terest rate swaps in the amount of €320 million.

The deterioration in the fair value of €65 million mainly re-
flects developments in the yield curve.

Cash flow hedges and fair value hedges include:
•  CCIRSs with a notional amount of €24,886 million used 
to hedge the currency risk on fixed-rate debt denomi-
nated in currencies other than the euro with a negative 
fair value of €1,040 million;

•  CCIRSs with a notional amount of €1,235 million used to 
hedge the currency risk on floating-rate debt denomi-
nated in currencies other than the euro, with a positive 
fair value of €44 million;

•  currency  forwards  with  a  notional  amount  of  €5,783 
million used to hedge the currency risk associated with 
purchases of natural gas, purchases of fuel and expect-
ed cash flows in currencies other than the euro, with a 
total negative fair value of €71 million;

•  currency forwards with a notional amount of €526 mil-
lion  and  a  negative  fair  value  of  €9  million,  in  respect 
of  OTC  transactions  to  mitigate  the  currency  risk  on 
expected cash flows in currencies other than the pre-
sentation  currency  connected  with  the  purchase  of 
investment goods in the renewables (including Battery 
Energy Storage Systems - BESS) and infrastructure and 
networks  sectors  (new  generation  digital  meters),  on 
operating costs for the supply of cloud services and on 
revenue from the sale of renewable energy.

410 Integrated Annual Report 2023

The  notional  amount  of  CCIRSs  at  December  31,  2023 
amounted to €26,121 million, a decrease of €2,612 million 
from €28,733 million at December 31, 2022. In particular:
•  CCIRSs with a total amount of €737 million expired;
•  a partial unwinding operation of CCIRSs was carried out 
following the early repurchase of part of the hybrid bond 
denominated  in  US  dollars.  That  transaction,  together 
with the natural expiry of the residual portion of that li-
ability and the associated CCIRSs, caused a decrease in 
the notional amount compared with December 31, 2022 
of €1,171 million;

•  new derivatives amounted to €109 million. The notional 
amount  decreased  by  €813  million,  reflecting  develop-
ments in the exchange rate of the euro against the main 
other currencies and the effect of amortization.

The notional amount of currency forwards at December 31, 
2023 amounted to €6,309 million (€9,126 million at Decem-

ber 31, 2022), a decrease of €2,817 million. The exposure to 
currency risk, especially that associated with the US dollar, 
is mainly due to purchases of natural gas, purchases of fuel 
and cash flows in respect of investments.
After  the  turbulence  experienced  in  raw  material  prices 
during  2022,  which  led  to  a  considerable  increase  in  the 
notional amounts hedged, the notional value of currency 
hedges on energy commodities returned to normal oper-
ating levels in 2023. The deterioration of net fair value of 
€137  million  reflected  normal  developments  in  exchange 
rates. 

Fair value hedge derivatives
The  following  table  reports  net  gains  and  losses  recog-
nized through profit or loss, reflecting changes in the fair 
value of fair value hedge derivatives and the hedged item

The  table  reports  the  notional  amount  and  fair  value  of 
derivatives  hedging  commodity  price  risk  at  December 
31,  2023  and  December  31,  2022,  broken  down  by  type 
of hedge. 
The  positive  fair  value  of  cash  flow  hedge  derivatives  on 
commodities regards derivatives on gas and oil commod-
ities  in  the  amount  of  €1,998  million,  derivatives  on  CO2 
in the amount of € 91 million and derivatives on power for 
€612 million.
The first category primarily regards hedges of fluctuations 
in the price of natural gas, for both purchases and sales, 
carried out for oil commodities and gas products.

The  CO2  category  mainly  includes  hedging  transactions 
undertaken for Enel Group compliance purposes.
The  power  category  mainly  includes  medium/long-term 
hedging transactions, especially in Spain and North Amer-
ica. 
Cash flow hedge derivatives on commodities included in 
liabilities regard derivatives on gas and oil commodities in 
the amount of €1,666 million, derivatives on power in the 
amount  of  €1,058  million  and,  to  a  lesser  extent,  deriva-
tives  on  coal  and  CO2  in  the  amount  of  respectively  €17 
million and €29 million.

With regard to cash flow hedge derivatives on commodity 
prices, 2023 was marked by a progressive reduction in the 
extreme price volatility seen in past years. 
The greatest impact in terms of changes in the cash flow 
hedge  reserve  is  mainly  attributable  to  future  transac-

tions  in  gas  and  power,  which  experience  a  reduction  in 
the magnitude of the amount to defer to future years be-
cause those commodities were the most affected by the 
high price volatility.
Moreover, the change is also attributable to the usual re-

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

415

lease of the impact on profit or loss of amounts accrued in 
2023, which were the most affected by major price swings 
of the past years.
The  ineffectiveness  recognized  in  2023  on  future  trans-
actions  in  gas  is  mainly  related  to  proxy  hedging  opera-
tions in Spain, while ineffectiveness on future transactions 
in power is mainly related to proxy hedging operations in 
North America.

416 Integrated Annual Report 2023

At December 31, 2023 the notional amount of trading de-
rivatives on interest rates came to €100 million. The nega-
tive fair value of €29 million deteriorated by €6 million on 
the previous year mainly due to developments in the yield 
curve.

At December 31, 2023 the notional amount of derivatives 
on exchange rates was €3,692 million. After the strains ex-
perienced in raw material prices during 2022, which led to 
a considerable increase in the notional amounts hedged, 
the  notional  value  of  currency  hedges  on  energy  com-
modities returned to normal operating levels in 2023. This 
produced an overall decrease in the value of the hedges of 
€2,069 million. The deterioration of net fair value of €45 
million reflected normal developments in exchange rates. 

At  December  31,  2023,  the  notional  amount  of  deriva-
tives on commodities came to €35,983 million. In absolute 
terms,  the  notional  amounts  decreased  compared  with 
2022 in line with the gradual decline observed in the pric-
es of energy commodities. The fair value of trading deriv-
atives on commodities classified as assets mainly reflects 
the  market  valuation  of  hedges  of  gas  and  oil  amount-
ing to €3,609 million, derivatives on power amounting to 

Fair value measurement 

€933 million, derivatives on CO2 amounting to €55 million 
and, to a lesser extent, derivatives on coal and other com-
modities totaling €23 million and €4 million, respectively.
The  fair  value  of  trading  derivatives  on  commodities 
classified  as  liabilities  mainly  regards  hedges  of  gas  and 
oil  amounting  to  €3,362  million,  derivatives  on  power 
amounting to €1,093 million, and derivatives on CO2, coal 
and other commodities in the amount of €56 million, €43 
million and €77 million, respectively.
These amounts include transactions managed within the 
trading  portfolios  and  transactions  that,  although  estab-
lished  for  hedging  purposes,  did  not  meet  the  require-
ments for hedge accounting.
In addition to weather derivative hedges, the “other” cat-
egory  includes  hedges  carried  out  on  guarantees  of  or-
igin  and  green  certificates,  i.e.  incentive  mechanisms  for 
the  production  of  electricity  from  renewable  sources.  In 
addition to the commodity price risk, the Group compa-
nies have to manage the risk of fluctuations in the price of 
these certificates which were recently affected by greater 
market  volatility  compared  with  the  past,  due  to  the  in-
creasing market attention to environmental sustainability 
issues.

52. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value 

The Group determines fair value in accordance with IFRS 
13 whenever such measurement is required by the IFRS as 
a recognition or measurement criterion.

Fair  value  is  defined  as  the  price  that  would  be  received 
to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly 
transaction, between market participants, at the measure-
ment date (i.e. an exit price). 
The best proxy of fair value is market price, i.e. the current 
publicly available price actually used on a liquid and active 
market. 

The  fair  value  of  assets  and  liabilities  is  classified  in  ac-
cordance with the three-level hierarchy described below, 
depending on the inputs and valuation techniques used in 
determining their fair value: 
•  Level 1, where the fair value is determined on the ba-
sis of quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for 
identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access 
at the measurement date;

•  Level 2, where the fair value is determined on the ba-
sis of inputs other than quoted prices included within 

Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, ei-
ther directly (such as prices) or indirectly (derived from 
prices); 

•  Level 3, where the fair value is determined on the basis 

of unobservable inputs. 

This  note  also  provides  detailed  disclosures  concerning 
the valuation techniques and inputs used to perform these 
measurements.

To that end:
•  recurring  fair  value  measurements  of  assets  or  liabili-
ties are those required or permitted by the IFRS in the 
statement of financial position at the close of each pe-
riod;

•  non-recurring  fair  value  measurements  are  those  re-
quired or permitted by the IFRS in the statement of fi-
nancial position in particular circumstances.

For general information or specific disclosures on the ac-
counting  treatment  of  these  circumstances,  please  see 
note 2 “Accounting policies”.

The fair value of “equity investments in other companies 
at FVOCI” is determined for listed companies on the basis 
of the quoted price at the close of the year, while that for 
unlisted companies is based on a reliable valuation of the 
relevant assets and liabilities. 

“Financial  assets  from  service  concession  arrangements 
at  FVTPL”  concern  electricity  distribution  operations  in 
Brazil, mainly by Enel Distribuição Rio de Janeiro, Enel Dis-
tribuição Ceará and Enel Distribuição São Paulo, and are 
accounted for in accordance with IFRIC 12. 
Fair  value  was  estimated  as  the  net  replacement  cost 
based  on  the  most  recent  rate  information  available  and 
on the general price index for the Brazilian market.

The  current  portion  of  “loans  assets  and  other  financial 
assets  at  FVTPL”  includes  mainly  under  Level  1  financial 
deposits held by Latin American companies. 
In addition, “loan assets and other financial assets at FVT-
PL” include the non-current portion (€130 million) and the 
current portion (€59 million) of “super-eco-sisma bonus” 
receivables purchased after the enactment of the Revival 
Decree and assigned to banks, the measurement of which 
falls within Level 3.

The current portion of “other cash investments at FVTPL” 
at  Level  1  mainly  refers  to  investment  in  money-market 
funds to manage the liquidity of Enel Insurance.

Level 3 of the non-current portion of “loan assets and oth-
er financial assets at FVTPL” reports the receivable in re-
spect of the sale of Slovak Power Holding, which amount-
ed to €39 million at December 31, 2023. Its fair value was 
determined using the contractual price formula.

The  fair  value  of  derivative  contracts  is  determined  us-
ing the official prices for instruments traded on regulated 
markets. The fair value of instruments not listed on a reg-
ulated market is determined using valuation methods ap-
propriate for each type of financial instrument and market 

418 Integrated Annual Report 2023

data as of the end of the reporting period (such as interest 
rates, exchange rates, volatility), discounting expected fu-
ture cash flows on the basis of the market yield curve and 
translating amounts in currencies other than the euro us-
ing exchange rates provided by the World Markets Refinitiv 
(WMR) Company. 
Derivatives  on  interest  rates  and  exchange  rates  are  all 
measured using Level 2 inputs. 
The fair value of derivatives on commodities is almost al-
ways measured using Level 1 or Level 2 inputs, as the de-
termination is based on market inputs as these contracts 
are  entered  into  with  exchange  counterparties,  leading 
sector operators or financial institutions. 
Certain  long-term  financial  contracts  in  Spain  (Virtual 
Power  Purchase  Agreements,  or  VPPAs),  for  which  inter-

nal measurement models were also used in part in order 
to measure these instruments over longer time horizons, 
given  the  illiquidity  of  the  underlying  variables  fall  within 
Level 3.
In  accordance  with  the  IFRS,  the  Group  assesses  credit 
risk, both of the counterparty (Credit Valuation Adjustment 
or CVA) and its own (Debit Valuation Adjustment or DVA), in 
order  to  adjust  the  fair  value  of  financial  instruments  for 
the  corresponding  amount  of  counterparty  risk  where 
necessary.  More  specifically,  the  Group  measures  CVA/
DVA using a Potential Future Exposure valuation technique 
for the net exposure of the position and subsequently al-
locating the adjustment to the individual financial instru-
ments that make up the overall portfolio. All of the inputs 
used in this technique are observable on the market. 

52.2 Assets not measured at fair value in the statement of financial position

53. Share-based payments

Starting  in  2019,  the  Shareholders’  Meeting  of  Enel  SpA 
(“Enel”  or  the  “Company”)  has  each  year  approved  the 
adoption  of  long-term  share-based  incentive  plans  for 
the management of Enel and/or its subsidiaries pursuant 
to Article 2359 of the Italian Civil Code. Each of the incen-
tive  plans  approved  (the  2019  Long-Term  Incentive  Plan, 
the 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan, the 2021 Long-Term 
Incentive  Plan,  the  2022  Long-Term  Incentive  Plan,  the 
2023  Long-Term  Incentive  Plan,  referred  to  hereinafter, 
respectively, the “2019 LTI Plan”, “2020 LTI Plan”, the “2021 
LTI Plan”, the “2022 LTI Plan”, the “2023 LTI Plan” and, jointly, 
the  “Plans”)  provides  for  the  grant  of  ordinary  Company 
shares (“Shares”) to the respective beneficiaries subject to 
the achievement of specific performance targets.
Plan beneficiaries are the Chief Executive Officer/General 
Manager  of  Enel  and  Enel  Group  managers  in  the  posi-
tions most directly responsible for company performance 
or considered to be of strategic interest. The Plans provide 
for the award to the beneficiaries of an incentive consist-

ing of a monetary component and an equity component. 
This incentive – determined, at the time of the award, as 
a  base  value  calculated  in  relation  to  the  fixed  remuner-
ation  of  the  individual  beneficiary  –  may  vary  depending 
on the degree of achievement of each of the three-year 
performance  targets  by  the  Plans,  ranging  from  zero  up 
to a maximum of 280% or 180% of the base value in the 
case, respectively, of  the  Chief  Executive  Officer/General 
Manager or the other beneficiaries.
The  Plans  establish  that,  of  the  total  incentive  effectively 
vested,  the  bonus  will  be  fully  paid  in  Shares:  (a)  for  the 
LTI 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023 Plans (i) up to 100% 
of the base value for the Chief Executive Officer/General 
Manager (up to 130% for the 2022 LTI Plan), and (ii) up to 
50%  of  the  base  value  for  the  other  beneficiaries  (up  to 
65% for the 2022 LTI Plan); (b) for the LTI 2023 Plan (i) up 
to 150% of the base value for the Chief Executive Officer/
General Manager, (ii) up to 100% of the base value for offi-
cers reporting directly to the Chief Executive Officer/Gen-

420 Integrated Annual Report 2023

eral  Manager,  including  key  management  personnel,  and 
(iii) up to 65% of the base value for the other beneficiaries, 
other than those indicated under (i) and (ii) above.
The  actual  award  of  the  bonus  under  the  Plans  is  sub-
ject  to  the  achievement  of  specific  performance  targets 
during the three-year performance period. If these targets 
are  achieved,  30%  of  both  the  stock  and  cash  compo-
nents of the incentive will be paid in the first year following 
the end of the performance period and the remaining 70% 
will  be  paid  in  the  second  year  following  the  end  of  the 
performance period. The payment of a substantial portion 
of  long-term  variable  remuneration  (70%  of  the  total)  is 
therefore deferred to the second year following the end of 

the performance period of the individual Plans.
The  following  table  provides  information  on  the  2019  LTI 
Plan, the 2020 LTI Plan, the 2021 LTI Plan, the 2022 LTI Plan, 
and the 2023 LTI Plan.
For more information on the characteristics of the Plans, 
please see the information documents prepared pursuant 
to  Article  84-bis  of  the  CONSOB  Regulation  issued  with

lation), which are available to the public in the section of 
Enel’s  website  (www.enel.com)  dedicated  to  the  Share-
holders’ Meetings held respectively on May 16, 2019, May

Compared  with  December  31,  2022,  the  decrease  of 
€1,456 million in commitments for “electricity purchases” 
is essentially attributable to companies in Latin America, in 
particular in Chile, and developments in electricity prices.

The decrease of €49,330 million in commitments for “fuel 
purchases” mainly regards the decrease in gas prices, es-
pecially in Italy and Spain, compared to 2022.

antees, please see the section “Commitments to purchase 
commodities” in note 49.

57. Contingent assets and liabilities

The following reports the main contingent assets and lia-
bilities at December 31, 2023, which are not recognized in 
the consolidated financial statements as they do not meet 
the requirements provided for in IAS 37. 

Hydroelectric concessions – Italy
Italian regulations governing large-scale hydroelectric con-
cessions  were  most  recently  modified  by  the  “Simplifica-
tions Decree” (Decree Law 135 of 2018 ratified with Law 12 
of  February  11,  2019),  which  introduced  a  series  of  inno-
vations  regarding  the  granting  of  such  concessions  upon 
their  expiry  and  the  valorization  of  the  assets  and  works 
connected to them to be transferred to the new conces-
sion  holder.  This  legislation  also  introduced  a  number  of 
changes  in  the  matter  of  concession  fees,  establishing 
a fixed and variable component of fees, as well as an ob-
ligation  to  provide  free  power  to  public  bodies  (220  kWh 
of power for each kW of average nominal capacity of the 
facilities covered by the concession). In implementation of 
this  national  law  and  under  specific  enabling  authority,  as 
of  today  various  regions  (Lombardy,  Piedmont,  Emilia-Ro-
magna, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, the Province of Trento, Veneto, 
Calabria, Basilicata, Abruzzo and Umbria) have enacted re-
gional  laws  implementing  state  legislation,  and  requested 

payment of the dual-component fee and the monetization 
of free electricity supplies.
Enel Produzione SpA and Enel Green Power SpA challenged 
before  the  Superior  Public  Water  Resources  Court  imple-
menting acts issued under the individual regional laws and 
the subsequent payment notices of fees and the monetiza-
tion of free electricity supplies, asking that they be declared 
void and raising the question of constitutional illegitimacy 
of both the national law and the regional laws.
The  companies  initiated  the  proceedings  by  complaining 
that the regional implementing acts – as well as the region-
al legislation which they implement – were constitutionally 
illegitimate, first for violation of national legislation and var-
ious primary principles protected both by the Italian Con-
stitution and European law concerning legitimate expecta-
tions, property rights, reasonableness, private initiative, and 
concessions, where:
•  they provide for retroactive application to valid large di-
version concessions of the dual-component fee and the 
obligation to supply free power or its financial equivalent;
•  they order the monetization of the obligation to supply 
free energy, which is not envisaged in the national law.
Furthermore, the introduction by the regions of these new 
obligations  to  pay  the  new  dual-component  fee  (divided 

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

into a fixed component and a variable component) and to 
supply a certain annual quantity of electricity free of charge 
in the form of payment of the associated monetary value, 
which is also to be paid by the holders of valid concessions 
that have not yet expired, creates an unexpected and un-
reasonable financial imbalance in the concession relation-
ships.  This  circumstance  is  in  evident  contrast  with  the 
principles of reasonableness, proportionality and legitimate 
expectation of concession fees, compliance with which is 
required by constitutional case law if, in the context of long-
term relationships, pejorative modifications are introduced.
Both the national law and the regional implementing legis-
lation violate Community principles and constitutional prin-
ciples such as property rights, the principle of legal certain-
ty, and the freedom of enterprise. In particular, the rules do 
not expressly provide for the transfer of the business unit 
from the outgoing to the successor concession holder, and 
also establish inadequate criteria for the valorization of the 
works to be transferred, which threatens to create what is 
essentially  a  mechanism  for  expropriation,  in  violation  of 
constitutional principles.
The  pending  cases  against  the  regions  of  Lombardy  and 
Piedmont have been adjourned to the collegial hearings of 
April 24, 2024 and June 12, 2024, while the remaining pro-
ceedings  are  still  pending  in  the  preliminary  investigation 
phase.

Antitrust proceeding 12461 - EE - Contract 
renewals – Italy
On  December  13,  2022,  the  Competition  Authority  noti-
fied Enel Energia SpA (“the Company” or “EE”) and six other 
companies  (Hera,  A2A,  Acea,  Eni  Plenitude,  Engie,  Edison) 
that  it  had  initiated  a  proceeding  for  unfair  commercial 
practices  (violation  of  certain  provisions  of  the  Consumer 
Code and Article 3 of Legislative Decree 115/2022, the sec-
ond “Aid Decree”).
In particular, the Competition Authority, among other thing, 
argued that EE had sent its customers, in the period from 
May to October 2022, notices of price changes that were 
allegedly generic and omissive to the extent that they did 
not specify the expiry date of the financial conditions sub-
ject  to  renewal  and  represented  an  unwarranted  exercise 
of ius variandi in modification of the financial conditions of 
the supply relationship, in violation of the aforementioned 
Article 3 of the second Aid Decree.
With the measure initiating the procedure, the Competition 
Authority simultaneously prohibited on a precautionary ba-
sis the sending of new price change notices and ordered 
the correction of those already sent.
All  the  operators  subject  to  the  order,  including  EE,  chal-
lenged the provision, which was based on the assumption 
that any price change had been prohibited to suppliers in 
the period indicated by the second Aid Decree (August 10 
- April 30, then extended until June 30, 2023 by Legislative 
Decree 198/2022, the “Milleproroghe Decree”).

Following  the  pronouncement  of  the  Council  of  State  of 
December  22,  2022  and  the  Milleproroghe  Decree  of  De-
cember 29, 2022, which excluded the applicability of Arti-
cle 3 of the Decree to contract renewals (of expiring offers) 
in  compliance  with  the  contractual  terms  of  notice  and 
without  prejudice  to  the  right  of  withdrawal  of  the  coun-
terparty,  thus  distinguishing  them  from  those  covered  by 
the ius variandi, the Competition Authority, with a new pre-
cautionary  measure  on  December  29,  2022,  ordered  the 
partial upholding of the original precautionary measure and 
confirmed the prohibition on changes or renewals of the fi-
nancial conditions of expiring contracts for which the expiry 
date was not specifically identified or in any case predeter-
minable in the associated notice sent to the customer. EE 
filed an appeal for additional reasons against this measure.
With a ruling published on May 19, 2023, the Lazio Region-
al Administrative Court accepted the arguments of EE and 
voided the two precautionary measures of the Competition 
Authority on December 12, 2022 and December 29, 2022, 
disagreeing  with  the  logical  process  established  by  the 
Competition Authority as a basis for the provisions, which 
were  deemed  to  lack  grounds  for  success.  In  particular, 
according to the Court, the legislator intended to suspend 
only the changes to the rules portion of the agreement and 
not also the updating of expired or expiring prices, as this 
would fix the previous pricing conditions indefinitely. Both 
AGCM and EE appealed the Court ruling before the Council 
of State and the proceeding is pending.
In the meantime, on November 15, 2023, the Competition 
Authority,  acting  in  the  proceeding  for  unfair  commercial 
practices,  issued  a  ruling  finding  a  violation  of  Articles  24 
and 25 of the Consumer Code, levying a fine of €10 million 
on EE, which was paid by EE on December 15, 2023. On Jan-
uary 15, 2024, EE appealed to void the fine before the Lazio 
Regional Administrative Court. 
In  an  order  issued  following  the  hearing  held  on  March 
20, 2024, the Lazio Regional Administrative Court granted 
a  petition  presented  jointly  by  the  parties  to  address  the 
grounds for appeal at the hearing on the merits scheduled 
for July 17, 2024.

Criminal proceeding against e-distribuzione 
concerning an accident – Italy
On July 1, 2021, e-distribuzione SpA was notified of a pro-
ceeding against a number of its employees and managers 
and  e-distribuzione  SpA  itself  pursuant  to  Legislative  De-
cree 231/2001, initiated by the Public Prosecutor’s Office of 
Taranto, following the accident that occurred on the night 
between  June  27  and  28,  2021  in  which  an  employee  of  a 
contractor was injured and subsequently died. 
During  the  investigative  phase,  an  unrepeatable  technical 
assessment  was  ordered  and  the  report  of  the  Technical 
Consultant  of  the  Public  Prosecutor,  dated  December  15, 
2021, was filed and incorporated in the Public Prosecutor’s 
case. 

432 Integrated Annual Report 2023

A  notice  of  dismissal  of  charges  was  subsequently  sent 
to  some  of  the  defendants  and  the  subcontractor  with 
whom  the  deceased  worker  was  employed.  A  notice  of 
conclusion of the preliminary investigation pursuant to Ar-
ticle 415-bis of the Code of Criminal Procedure was sent 
to  the  remaining  defendants  and  the  company  and,  on 
April 17, 2023, a notice was served to set the preliminary 
hearing before the Preliminary Hearing Judge of the Court 
of Taranto for May 23, 2023. Following adjournments, the 
preliminary hearing was scheduled to continue on Febru-
ary 20, 2024, when the parties were heard, including the 
request  for  a  plea  deal  from  one  of  the  defendants.  The 
Court  then  rescheduled  the  hearing  to  May  21,  2024  for 
the decision to send the case to trial.
In agreement with the insurance company, a process was 
defined  to  reach  a  settlement  with  the  heirs  of  the  de-
ceased to extinguish the claims formulated by the injured 
parties without admission of liability.

Arbitration proceedings Enel Produzione SpA 
– Italy
In the 4th Quarter of 2023 a coal supplier initiated an ar-
bitration proceeding against Enel Produzione requesting 
the fulfillment by the latter of certain coal supply contracts 
stipulated between the parties during 2021, performance 
of  which  was  suspended  by  Enel  Produzione  in  March 
2022  due  to  the  sanctions  imposed  with  EU  Regulations 
no. 269/2014 and no. 833/2014. A claim of about $11 mil-
lion was filed for supplies already executed and about $62 
million for expected supplier, plus interest. The arbitration 
proceedings are pending and are currently expected to be 
completed in 2025.

Green Network litigation – Italy
With a summons dated May 8, 2019, Green Network SpA 
(GN) sued Enel Energia SpA (EE) before the Court of Rome 
to  ascertain  alleged  anti-competitive  conduct  (including 
illegal  win-back  practices)  that  EE  carried  out  in  an  at-
tempt to recover customers who would have moved to the 
competing trader and, as a result, order EE to pay damag-
es quantified at €116,049,056, plus interest and monetary 
revaluation, in addition to the publication of the sentence. 
EE  formally  appeared  in  court,  contesting  the  validity  of 
the opposing party’s claim in fact and law and requesting 
the complete denial of the claims, as well as an order for 
the  plaintiff  to  pay  damages  for  frivolous  litigation.  After 
conducting  the  preliminary  investigation  phase,  during 
which a court-ordered phonic assessment was performed, 
the Court rejected the plaintiff’s further preliminary inves-
tigation requests and adjourned the case for summing up 
to a hearing scheduled for June 27, 2024.

Penalty proceeding for Enel Energia – Italy
On  February  29,  2024,  the  Personal  Data  Protection  Au-
thority  (DPA)  announced  that  it  was  levying  a  fine  of 

€79,107,101 on Enel Energia SpA, in addition to a number 
of prescriptive measures.
The action originates with a proceeding undertaken by the 
DPA in July 2023, during which the company was accused 
of failing to adopt an adequate system for monitoring and 
controlling the operation of its agencies, which, in the pe-
riod from 2015 to 2022, also made use of operators who 
were not officially appointed, for the sole purpose of max-
imizing their profits even to the detriment of the company 
itself.
In the meantime, the company, acting for its own protec-
tion,  had  already  taken  all  the  contractually  established 
measures  against  the  agencies  involved  in  the  circum-
stances  addressed  by  the  penalty  measure  and  had  also 
filed  criminal  complaints  against  the  operators  who  had 
acted abusively.
The  company,  considering  the  objections  raised  by  the 
DPA to be unfounded, intends to challenge the provision 
before the Civil Court of Rome, filing a request for suspen-
sion of both the payment of the fine and the prescriptive 
measures.

BEG litigation – Italy, France, Luxembourg
Following  an  arbitration  proceeding  initiated  by  BEG  SpA 
(BEG) in Italy, Enelpower SpA (now Enelpower Srl) obtained 
a ruling in its favor in 2002, which was upheld by the Court 
of  Cassation  in  2010,  which  entirely  rejected  the  petition 
for  damages  with  regard  to  alleged  breach  by  Enelpower 
of an agreement concerning the assessment of the possi-
ble construction of a hydroelectric power station in Albania. 
Subsequently,  BEG,  acting  through  its  subsidiary  Albania 
BEG  Ambient,  filed  suit  against  Enelpower  and  Enel  SpA 
(Enel)  in  Albania  concerning  the  matter,  obtaining  a  ruling 
from the District Court of Tirana on March 24, 2009, upheld 
by the Albanian Court of Cassation, ordering Enelpower and 
Enel to pay tortious damages of about €25 million for 2004 
as well as an unspecified amount of tortious damages for 
subsequent years. Following the ruling, Albania BEG Ambi-
ent demanded payment of more than €430 million. 
In November 2016, Enel and Enelpower filed a petition with 
the Albanian Court of Cassation, asking for the ruling is-
sued by the District Court of Tirana on March 24, 2009 to 
be voided. The proceeding is still pending.
With  a  ruling  of  the  Court  of  Appeal  of  Rome  of  March 
7,  2022,  the  further  proceedings  undertaken  by  Enel  and 
Enelpower  before  the  Court  of  Rome  were  concluded, 
having sought recognition of BEG’s liability for having cir-
cumvented the arbitration award rendered in Italy in favor 
of Enelpower through the aforementioned initiatives un-
dertaken by the subsidiary ABA. With the ruling, the Court 
of Appeal of Rome upheld the ruling of first instance ren-
dered by the Court of Rome on June 16, 2015, which had 
denied the petition in the proceeding.
On  May  20,  2021,  the  European  Court  of  Human  Rights 
(ECHR)  issued  a  ruling  with  which  it  decided  the  appeal 

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

433

brought  by  BEG  against  the  Italian  State  for  violation  of 
Article 6.1 of the European Convention on Human Rights. 
With this decision, the Court denied BEG’s request to re-
open the above arbitration proceedings, and also rejected 
BEG’s  claim  for  pecuniary  damages  amounting  to  about 
€1.2  billion  due  to  the  absence  of  a  causal  link  with  the 
disputed  conduct,  granting  it  €15,000  in  non-pecuniary 
damages.
Nonetheless, on December 29, 2021, BEG, with an action 
that the company and its legal counsel deemed unfound-
ed and specious, also decided to sue the Italian State be-
fore the Court of Milan, to demand, as a consequence of 
the ECHR ruling, damages for tortious liability in an amount 
of  about  €1.8  billion.  In  this  case,  BEG  also  involved  Enel 
and Enelpower by way of a claim of joint and several lia-
bility. With an order of June 14, 2022, the Court of Milan, in 
accepting the objection of territorial incompetence raised 
by the State Attorney, declared its incompetence to hear 
the dispute in favor of the Court of Rome, the court exclu-
sively  competent  to  hear  the  causes  in  which  the  Italian 
State is involved, ordering BEG to pay the costs of the pro-
ceedings in favor of the defendants. BEG did not resume 
the  judgment  before  the  Court  of  Rome  within  the  legal 
term  of  October  14,  2022  and  therefore  the  proceeding 
was extinguished. 
A  short  time  later,  on  November  3,  2022,  BEG  resubmit-
ted the same claims for damages of the terminated pro-
ceeding, serving a new writ of summons before the Court 
of Milan against the same defendants, with the exception 
of  the  Italian  State,  which  BEG  declared  not  to  wishing 
to agree to this judgement. Enel and Enelpower are pre-
paring their defenses to proceed with the appearance in 
court  in  order  to  contest  the  claim,  which  is  considered 
entirely specious and unfounded, like the previous similar 
initiative. Following the hearing for admission of evidence, 
the  Court  issued  an  order  on  October  26,  2023  denying 
the  preliminary  requests  of  the  plaintiff  and,  considering 
the case ready for decision, scheduled final arguments for 
October 17, 2024.

Proceedings undertaken by Albania BEG 
Ambient Shpk (ABA) to obtain enforcement 
of the ruling of the District Court of Tirana of 
March 24, 2009

Italy
With an appeal notified on September 11, 2023, Albania BEG 
Ambient ShpK (ABA) initiated a proceeding before the Court 
of Appeal of Rome against Enel SpA and Enelpower Srl, in 
order to obtain, pursuant to Article 67 of Law 218/1995, en-
forcement of the ruling of the Court of Tirana of March 24, 
2009.  The  two  companies  are  preparing  their  defense  to 
contest the claim for execution in Italy as well. Following the 
initial hearing, the Court of Appeal adjourned the proceed-
ing until September 18, 2025 for oral arguments. 

France
In 2012, ABA filed suit against Enel and Enelpower with the 
Tribunal de Grande Instance in Paris in order to render the 
ruling of the Albanian court enforceable in France. 
On January 29, 2018, the Tribunal de Grande Instance re-
jected  ABA  claim.  Among  other  issues,  the  Tribunal  de 
Grande Instance ruled that: (i) the Albanian ruling conflict-
ed with an existing decision (the arbitration ruling of 2002) 
and that (ii) the fact that BEG sought to obtain in Albania 
what it was not able to obtain in the Italian arbitration pro-
ceeding, resubmitting the same claim through ABA, rep-
resented fraud. 
Subsequently, with a ruling of May 4, 2021, the Paris Court 
of Appeal denied the appeal by ABA, in full, upholding the 
ruling at first instance and, in particular, fully upholding the 
non-compatibility of the Albanian ruling with the arbitra-
tion award of 2002, ordering it to reimburse Enel and Enel-
power €200,000.00 each for legal costs. 
With a ruling of May 17, 2023 the French Cour de Cassa-
tion rejected ABA’s appeal, thereby definitively denying the 
ABA’s petition for execution.
Following the favorable ruling of the Court of Appeal, Enel 
initiated  a  separate  proceeding  to  obtain  release  of  the 
precautionary attachments granted to ABA of any receiv-
ables of Enel in respect of Enel France. With an order of 
June  16,  2022,  the  Court  of  Paris  ordered  the  release  of 
the precautionary attachments while also ordering ABA to 
pay Enel a total of about €146,000 in damages and legal 
costs.  ABA  challenged  the  aforementioned  release  order 
and the appeal was granted by the Paris Court of Appeal 
with a decision of May 17, 2023. On June 16, 2023 Enel filed 
a  petition  and  on  December  15,  2023  formally  appealed 
that ruling before the French Cour de Cassation.

The Netherlands
In  2014,  ABA  filed  suit  with  the  Court  of  Amsterdam  to 
render the ruling of the Albanian court enforceable in the 
Netherlands. 
Following an initial ruling of June 29, 2016, in favor of ABA, 
in a ruling of July 17, 2018, the Amsterdam Court of Appeal 
upheld the appeal advanced by Enel and Enelpower, ruling 
that the Albanian judgment cannot be recognized and en-
forced in the Netherlands, as it was arbitrary and manifest-
ly  unreasonable  and  therefore  contrary  to  Dutch  public 
order.  Subsequently,  the  proceeding  before  the  Court  of 
Appeal continued with regard to the subordinate question 
raised by ABA with which it asked the Dutch court to rule 
on  the  merits  of  the  dispute  in  Albania  and  in  particular 
the alleged tortious liability of Enel and Enelpower in the 
failure to build the power plant in Albania. On December 3, 
2019, the Amsterdam Court of Appeal issued a definitive 
ruling in which it rejected any claim made by ABA, thereby 
confirming the denial of recognition and enforcement of 
the  Albanian  ruling  in  the  Netherlands.  Moreover,  having 
re-analyzed  the  merits  of  the  case  under  Albanian  law, 

434 Integrated Annual Report 2023

the Court found no tortious liability on the part of Enel and 
Enelpower and ordered ABA to reimburse the companies 
for  the  losses  incurred  in  illegitimate  conservative  sei-
zures, to be quantified as part of a specific procedure, and 
the costs of the trial and appeal proceedings. 
On July 16, 2021 the Supreme Court completely rejected 
ABA’s appeals, ordering it to reimburse court costs. 

Luxembourg
In Luxembourg, again at the initiative of ABA, J.P. Morgan 
Bank  Luxembourg  SA  was  also  served  with  an  order  for 
a number of precautionary seizures of any receivables of 
both Enel Group companies in respect of the bank.
In parallel ABA filed a claim to obtain enforcement of the 
ruling  of  the  Court  of  Tirana  in  Luxembourg.  Owing  to  a 
number of procedural delays, the proceeding is still in the 
initial stages and no ruling has been issued. In particular, 
after several legal representatives appointed by ABA with-
drew  from  the  cause,  in  September  2023  the  court  sus-
pended the proceeding. 

United States and Ireland
In 2014, ABA had initiated two proceedings requesting ex-
ecution of the Albanian sentence before the courts of the 
State of New York and Ireland, which both ruled in favor of 
Enel and Enelpower, respectively, on February 23 and Feb-
ruary 26, 2018. Accordingly, there are no lawsuits pending 
in Ireland or New York State.

Environmental incentives - Endesa 
Generación SA – Spain 
Following  the  Decision  of  November  27,  2017  (the  “Deci-
sion”) of the European Commission on the issue of envi-
ronmental incentives for thermal power plants, on March 
2,  2018  the  Commission’s  Directorate-General  for  Com-
petition has initiated a formal enquiry pursuant to Article 
108, paragraph 2, of the Treaty on the Functioning of the 
European  Union,  in  order  to  establish  whether  the  envi-
ronmental incentive for coal power plants provided for in 
Spain’s  Order  ITC/3860/2007  represents  State  aid  com-
patible with the internal market. On April 13, 2018, acting 
as an interested third party, Endesa Generación submitted 
comments  contesting  this  interpretation.  Subsequently, 
on September 8, 2021, the appeal of the decision lodged 
by Gas Natural (now Naturgy) with the General Court of the 
European Union was denied. The ruling was  appealed  by 
Naturgy and EDP España before the Court of Justice of the 
European Union (CJEU). Endesa Generación filed a request 
to participate in the proceeding and, with an order of June 
1, 2022, the CJEU allowed that participation. Subsequently, 
following the filing of the ruling of the Advocate General, 
on December 14, 2023, the CJEU voided both the decision 
and ruling of the General Court.

Bono Social – Spain
In relation to the various financing schemes for the Bono 
Social  adopted  by  the  Spanish  government,  with  ruling 
no. 212/2022 of February 21, 2022 the Tribunal Supremo 
ruled on the appeals filed by Endesa SA, Endesa Energía 
SAU and Energía XXI Comercializadora de Referencia SLU 
(Endesa) and other companies in the energy sector against 
the  third  scheme  for  financing  the  Bono  Social,  and  for 
co-financing with government authorities of the supply to 
vulnerable  consumers,  envisaged  under  Article  45,  para-
graph  4  of  Spain’s  Electricity  Industry  Law  24/2013,  Roy-
al Decree Law 7/2016 of December 23 and Royal Decree 
897/2017 of October 6. 
With  the  ruling,  the  Tribunal  Supremo,  partially  allowing 
the appeals, found that (i) the aforesaid regime was inap-
plicable; (ii) Articles 12 to 17 of Royal Decree 897/2017 are 
inapplicable and void, and (iii) the appellants were entitled 
to  be  compensated  for  the  amounts  paid  to  finance  the 
Bono  Social  and  provide  co-financing  with  government 
authorities, and to reimbursement of all costs incurred to 
fulfill the obligations set out in this mechanism, deducting 
any amounts transferred to customers, where applicable. 
In the absence of voluntary compliance by the authorities, 
on November 10, 2022 the companies filed a petition for 
enforcement of the ruling, requesting immediate payment 
of the uncontested part, equal to about €152 million, for fi-
nancing costs associated with customers in the regulated 
market, as well as payment of other amounts as quantified 
in the technical studies prepared by the companies. With 
an order of May 26, 2023 the Tribunal Supremo (i) ordered 
the government to pay Endesa €152,272,229.83, plus in-
terest,  (ii)  required  the  Ministry  for  the  Ecological  Transi-
tion and the Demographic Challenge (MITECO) to quantify 
as soon as possible the additional amounts to be paid to 
Endesa in respect of (a) costs to finance the Bono Social 
for  the  free  market,  deducting  any  amounts  transferred 
to customers, and (b) investments made to implement the 
Bono  Social,  and  to  pay  Endesa  those  amounts,  plus  in-
terest, within two months. On July 28, 2023, the Secretary 
of State for Energy (MITECO) announced a resolution that 
grants Endesa (i) an indemnity of €171.6 million (including 
interest) for financing costs associated with customers in 
the  regulated  market  and  (ii)  an  additional  indemnity  of 
€6.6  million  (including  interest)  for  costs  incurred  to  im-
plement the Bono Social. However, the resolution does not 
provide  for  any  indemnity  for  the  financing  costs  of  the 
Bono Social for the free market. Therefore, on September 
18,  2023  Endesa  filed  arguments  supported  by  technical 
studies with the Tribunal Supremo to demonstrate Ende-
sa’s entitlement to be indemnified for the free market seg-
ment as well.

“Endesa I and II” industrial relations dispute – 
Spain
After  being  signed  by  the  social  partners  and  entering 
force on January 23, 2020, the 5th Endesa Collective Bar-
gaining  Agreement  was  published  in  the  Spanish  Official 
Journal (Boletín Oficial del Estado) on June 17, 2020, taking 
full effect. 
On  December  30,  2020,  the  Audiencia  Nacional  notified 
Endesa  a  new  petition  for  a  “collective  dispute”  initiated 
by three trade unions with minority representation filed on 
December  1,  2020,  concerning  the  cancellation  of  some 
“derogatory provisions” of the 5th Endesa Collective Bar-
gaining Agreement. The plaintiffs claim that the contested 
“derogatory provisions” would imply the illegitimate abo-
lition  of  social  benefits  and  economic  rights  of  workers. 
Endesa  considers  these  provisions  to  be  fully  legitimate, 
in line with the arguments made during proceeding con-
cerning the reduction of social benefits for retired person-
nel. With a ruling of November 15, 2021, the petitions of 
the plaintiff unions were rejected, with verification of the 
legitimacy of the 5th Endesa Collective Bargaining Agree-
ment. The ruling was appealed by the trade unions before 
the Tribunal Supremo and the proceeding is currently un-
der way.
Moreover, with reference to the 4th Endesa Collective Bar-
gaining Agreement, on July 7, 2021 the Tribunal Supremo 
issued  a  definitive  ruling  denying  the  appeals  lodged  by 
the  aforementioned  unions  against  the  termination  of 
the  agreement  by  Endesa,  affirming  that  social  benefits 
(including those relating to electricity prices) originate ex-
clusively in the collective bargaining agreements, both for 
employees currently in service and those who have retired, 
as well as for their family members, with the consequence 
that  the  termination  of  such  agreements  produces  the 
general  contractual  regulation  of  the  conditions  estab-
lished therein for employees currently in service and, for 
those who have retired and their family members, the de-
finitive  extinction  of  all  their  rights,  until  new  regulations 
(which  came  with  the  5th  Endesa  Collective  Bargaining 
Agreement). That decision is also definitive for the individ-
ual proceeding brought concerning the same issue.

GNL Endesa Generación SA arbitration 
proceeding I – Spain
In  the  course  of  an  arbitration  proceeding  to  review  the 
price of a long-term supply contract for liquefied natural 
gas (LNG) initiated by Endesa Generación SA, the defen-
dant,  an  LNG  production  company,  filed  a  counterclaim 
demanding payment of about $1.283 billion at September 
30, 2023. The proceeding was concluded with an award on 
November 15, 2023, with the partial grant of the counter-
claim. Both parties filed petitions for clarification and cor-
rection of the award; a decision is pending. Meanwhile, the 
defendant issued an invoice in the amount of $587 million. 

GNL Endesa Generación SA arbitration 
proceeding II – Spain
In March 2023, a liquefied natural gas (LNG) producer initi-
ated an arbitration proceeding within the context of a pro-
ceeding for the revision of the price of a long-term supply 
contract for LNG against Endesa Generación SA, demand-
ing payment of about $585 million at December 31, 2023. 
The amount of the claim could be revised depending on 
market developments in months up to the completion of 
arbitration  proceeding,  which  is  scheduled  for  the  2nd 
Half of 2024. The company believes that this counterclaim 
is unfounded.

Tractebel litigation – Brazil 
In 1998 the Brazilian company CIEN (now Enel CIEN) signed 
an agreement with Tractebel (now Engie Brasil Energia SA) 
for  the  delivery  of  electricity  from  Argentina  through  its 
Argentina-Brazil interconnection line. As a result of Argen-
tine regulatory changes introduced as a consequence of 
the economic crisis in 2002, Enel CIEN was unable to make 
the electricity available to Tractebel. 
In  October  2009,  Tractebel  sued  Enel  CIEN  for  alleged 
breach  of  contract.  Enel  CIEN  submitted  its  defense  cit-
ing force majeure as a result of the Argentine crisis as the 
main  argument.  Out  of  court,  Tractebel  indicated  that  it 
plans to acquire 30% of the interconnection line involved 
in the dispute. With a ruling of February 16, 2023, the court 
of first instance denied the grounds of the claim submitted 
by  Tractebel  against  Enel  CIEN.  The  ruling  was  appealed 
by Tractebel on March 20, 2023, but on February 29, 2024 
the Court of Appeal upheld the decision at first instance in 
favor of Enel CIEN. The amount involved in the dispute is 
estimated at about R$715 million (about €133 million), plus 
damages to be quantified.
For similar reasons, the company Furnas, in May 2010, had 
also  presented  a  sue  against  Enel  CIEN  for  the  failure  to 
deliver  electricity,  requesting  payment  of  about  R$571.6 
million (about €91 million), plus damages to be quantified, 
with  a  claim  to  acquire  70%  of  the  interconnection  line. 
The trial concluded in favor of Enel CIEN with a sentence 
issued  by  the  Tribunal  de  Justiça,  which  became  final  on 
October 18, 2019, which rejected all of Furnas’ claims.

Cibran litigation – Brazil
Companhia  Brasileira  de  Antibióticos  (Cibran)  has  filed 
six suits against the Enel Group company Ampla Energia 
e  Serviços  SA  (today  Enel  Distribuição  Rio  de  Janeiro)  to 
obtain damages for alleged losses incurred as a result of 
the interruption of electricity service by the Brazilian dis-
tribution  company  between  1987  and  2002,  in  addition 
to  non-pecuniary  damages.  The  Court  ordered  a  unified 
technical appraisal for those cases, the findings of which 
were partly unfavorable to Enel Distribuição Rio de Janeiro. 
The latter challenged the findings, asking for a new study, 

436 Integrated Annual Report 2023

which led to the denial of part of Cibran’s petitions. Cibran 
subsequently  challenged  the  findings  of  the  new  study, 
but without success.
The first suit, regarding the years from 1995 to 1999, was 
denied in full with a ruling that became definitive on Au-
gust 24, 2020.
With  regard  to  the  second  case,  filed  in  2006  and  re-
garding the years from 1987 to 1994, on June 1, 2015, the 
courts issued a ruling ordering Enel Distribuição Rio de Ja-
neiro to pay R$96 million (about €23 million) plus interest 
in  pecuniary  damages  and  R$80,000  (about  €19,000)  in 
non-pecuniary  damages.  On  November  6,  2019,  the  Tri-
bunal de Justiça of Rio de Janeiro issued a ruling granting 
Enel Distribuição Rio de Janeiro’s petition, and denying all 
of Cibran’s claims. Subsequently, all the appeals submitted 
by Cibran between 2019 and 2022 were denied in full and, 
accordingly, the decision of November 6, 2019 in favor of 
Enel Distribuição Rio de Janeiro became final on March 24, 
2023.
The  remaining  four  suits  for  the  years  2001  and  2002, 
which  had  been  suspended  pending  the  decision  con-
cerning  the  petition  filed  in  2006,  are  waiting  to  be  tak-
en up again. The value of all the disputes is estimated at 
about R$729 million (about €131 million).

Coperva litigation – Brazil
As part of the project to expand the grid in rural areas of 
Brazil, in 1982 Coelce Companhia Energética do Ceará SA 
(today Enel Distribuição Ceará), then owned by the Brazil-
ian government and now an Enel Group company, had en-
tered into contracts for the use of the grids of a number 
of cooperatives established specifically to pursue the ex-
pansion project. The contracts provided for the payment 
of a monthly fee by Enel Distribuição Ceará, which was also 
required to maintain the networks. 
Those  contracts,  between  cooperatives  established  in 
special  circumstances,  did  not  specifically  identify  the 
grids  governed  by  the  agreements,  which  prompted  a 
number  of  the  cooperatives  to  sue  Enel  Distribuição 
Ceará  asking  for,  among  other  things,  a  revision  of  the 
fees agreed. 
These proceedings include: (a) the suit filed by Cooperati-
va de Eletrificação Rural do Vale do Acarau Ltda (Coperva) 
with a value of about R$475 million (about €89 million): Enel 
Distribuição Ceará was granted rulings in its favor from the 
trial  court  and  the  Court  of  Appeal,  but  Coperva  filed  an 
appeal (embargo de declaração) based on procedural is-
sues,  which  was  also  denied  by  the  Court  of  Appeal  in  a 
ruling of January 11, 2016. On February 3, 2016, Coperva 
lodged an extraordinary appeal before the Tribunal Supe-
rior de Justiça (TSJ) against the ruling on the merits, which 
was granted on November 5, 2018 for the ruling issued in 
the previous appeal (embargo de declaração). On Decem-
ber 3, 2018, Enel Distribuição Ceará filed an appeal (agravo 

interno) against this ruling of the TSJ and the proceeding 
is currently pending; and (b) the suit filed by Cooperativa 
de  Energia,  Telefonia  e  Desenvolvimento  Rural  do  Sertão 
Central  Ltda  (COERCE)  with  a  value  of  about  R$285  mil-
lion  (about  €53  million):  in  the  suit  COERCE  requested  a 
revision  of  the  fee  agreed  for  the  use  of  its  grids  to  be 
calculated on the basis of 2% of their value. The judgment 
is pending before the court of first instance, pending the 
performance of an engineering appraisal.

ANEEL litigation – Brazil
In 2014, Eletropaulo (today Enel Distribuição São Paulo) ini-
tiated an action before the Brazilian federal courts seeking 
to  void  the  administrative  measure  of  the  Agência  Na-
cional  de  Energia  Elétrica  (ANEEL,  the  national  electricity 
agency),  which  in  2012  retroactively  introduced  a  nega-
tive coefficient to be applied in determining rates for the 
following  regulatory  period  (2011-2015).  With  this  provi-
sion, ANEEL ordered the restitution of the value of some 
components  of  the  network  previously  included  in  rates 
because  they  were  considered  non-existent  and  denied 
Enel Distribuição São Paulo’s request to include addition-
al  components  in  rates.  The  administrative  measure  of 
ANEEL was challenged and on September 9, 2014, it was 
suspended  on  a  precautionary  basis.  The  first-instance 
proceeding  has  concluded  and  we  are  awaiting  the  de-
cision.  The  value  of  the  suit  is  about  R$1,3  billion  (about 
€245 million).

Endicon – Brazil
On October 17, 2021 Endicon (former Enel service provid-
er in Brazil) filed a lawsuit against Enel Distribuição Rio de 
Janeiro and Enel Distribuição Ceará in which it seeks total 
damages of approximately R$500 million (about €93 mil-
lion) for pecuniary and non-pecuniary damages incurred 
in connection with certain events allegedly attributable to 
Group companies, which occurred during the execution of 
the contracts and from the abusive exercise of contractual 
rights  by  the  latter,  which  is  alleged  to  have  produced  a 
loss  on  the  management  of  the  contracts.  Following  the 
revocation on May 10, 2022 of the precautionary measure 
that  had  been  previously  notified  to  the  companies,  on 
December  2,  2021,  Enel  Distribuição  Rio  de  Janeiro  and 
Enel  Distribuição  Ceará  presented  their  defenses  in  the 
proceedings  on  the  merits,  and  the  evidentiary  stage  of 
the first-instance proceeding is continuing.

Socrel – Brazil
Enel Distribuição São Paulo has been sued by Serviços de 
Eletricidade and Telecomunicações Ltda (Socrel) for dam-
ages for losses caused by an alleged unlawful termination 
of contract by the Group company that involved a series of 
contracts between the parties, which would have caused 
Socrel’s  liquidity  crisis.  Following  an  expert  report  issued 

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

437

during  the  proceedings,  Socrel’s  request  was  quanti-
fied  at  R$321  million  (about  €61  million).  With  the  ruling 
of  March  27,  2023,  the  Tribunal  de  Justiça  do  Estado  de 
São Paulo denied the entire substance of the Socrel claim. 
Socrel challenged the ruling, which was overturned with a 
ruling of November 7, 2023 and remanded for trial at first 
instance to hear oral evidence not allowed in the first pro-
ceeding.

Extraordinary 2022 rate revision (Ceará) – 
Brazil 
On April 19, 2022, the Agência Nacional de Energia Elétri-
ca (ANEEL) issued resolution no. 3.026/2022 with which it 
authorized an average 24.85% rate increase for 2022 for 
the electricity distribution services performed by Enel Dis-
tribuição Ceará. Both private individuals and public insti-
tutions have challenged this resolution before the Federal 
Regional  Court  of  the  district  of  Ceará,  for  a  total  of  six 
proceedings requesting, on precautionary basis, the can-
cellation of the effects of the resolution and, on a perma-
nent  basis,  the  voidance  of  the  resolution  itself,  arguing 
that  the  rate  increase  is  illegitimate.  In  all  proceedings, 
Enel  Distribuição  Ceará  has  contested  the  petitioners’ 
claims, arguing the legitimacy of the rate adjustment. On 
June 21, 2022, the Federal Regional Court rejected the pre-
cautionary request and joindered the six proceedings in a 
single  proceeding  in  consideration  of  fact  that  the  relief 
sought and the cause of action are the same. On Septem-
ber 23, 2022, Enel Distribuição Ceará also submitted that, 
as a result of certain subsequent legislative measures, the 
rate had been reduced following an extraordinary rate re-
view and a reduction in taxes. The ruling remains pending. 
The estimated value of the proceeding has not been de-
termined. Moreover, on July 31, 2023, an additional action 
was filed by one of the public petitioners with the Federal 
Regional  Court  for  reasons  connected  with  the  previous 
actions,  arguing  that  the  rate  increase  was  excessive  in 
relation  to  the  poor  quality  of  service  provided  and  al-
leged  contractual  breaches,  as  well  as  asking  for  collec-
tive non-pecuniary damages of about R$55 million (about 
€10.6 million).

CTEEP – Brazil
On  March  16,  2021  Enel  Distribuição  São  Paulo  (formerly 
Eletropaulo Metropolitana Eletricidade de São Paulo SA - 
Eletropaulo)  filed  a  debt  collection  action  before  the  Tri-
bunal  de  Justiça  do  Estado  de  São  Paulo  in  the  amount 
of  about  R$1.5  billion  against  the  transmission  system 
operator ISA CTEEP - Companhia de Transmissão de En-
ergia  Elétrica  (CTEEP)  as  the  original  debtor  for  a  liability 
arising  prior  to  the  privatization  of  Eletropaulo,  against 
Centrais  Elétricas  Brasileiras  SA  (Eletrobras),  which  had 
initially been paid by Eletropaulo to the latter as part of a 
settlement agreement. With a decision of September 26, 
2023,  the  competent  Court  of  Appeal  upheld  the  ruling 

at  first  instance,  which  had  denied  Enel  Distribuição  São 
Paulo’s  claim,  also  quantifying  the  defense’s  legal  costs 
due for losing the cast at 13% of the present value of the 
claim, for an amount equal, at December 2023, to about 
R$365 million (about € 68 million). With a ruling of January 
12,  2024  the  Court  of  Appeal  denied  the  appeal  of  that 
decision  by  Enel  Distribuição  São  Paulo.  On  February  23, 
2024 the company also appealed the latter ruling before 
the higher courts.

Black-out November 2023 São Paulo – Brazil
Following  the  severe  weather  events  that  on  November 
3,  2023  hit  the  concession  area  of  Enel  Distribuição  São 
Paulo  (ED  SP),  on  December  31,  2023,  341  individual  ac-
tions  and  6  collective  actions  were  filed  by  representa-
tives of municipalities, unions, political parties, the public 
prosecutor  and  the  public  defender’s  office  requesting 
the grant of precautionary measures, the provision of as-
sistance by ED SP, the provision of information/documen-
tation, the maintenance of distribution service levels and 
the  payment  of  individual  and  collective  pecuniary  and 
non-pecuniary damages to be determined in court. At De-
cember 31, 2023, the overall value of the individual actions 
was about R$6.2 million (about €1.2 million) while the value 
of the collective actions was undetermined. 

Black-out November 2023 Rio de Janeiro – 
Brazil
Following  the  severe  weather  events  that  on  November 
18, 2023 hit the concession area of Enel Distribuição Rio 
de Janeiro (ED RJ), on December 31, 2023, 3,308 individual 
actions and 16 collective actions were filed by represen-
tatives  of  municipalities,  the  public  prosecutor  and  the 
public  defender’s  office  requesting  the  grant  of  precau-
tionary measures, the provision of assistance by ED RJ, the 
provision of information/documentation, the maintenance 
of  assistance  measures  and  the  payment  of  individual 
and collective pecuniary and non-pecuniary damages to 
be determined in court. At December 31, 2023 the over-
all value of the individual actions was about R$61.3 million 
(about €11.4  million) while the  value  of  the  collective ac-
tions was undetermined. 

GasAtacama Chile – Chile
In January 2020, the appeal proceeding was completed for 
the administrative fine levied in August 2016 by the Super-
intendencia de Electricidad y Combustibles (SEC) against 
GasAtacama Chile (now Enel Generación Chile) concern-
ing the information provided  to the  CDEC-  SING (Centro 
de Despacho Económico de Carga) in relation to the vari-
ables of the Technical Minimum and the Minimum Opera-
tion Time at the Atacama power station. Upon completion 
of  the  proceeding,  the  amount  of  the  fine  was  reduced 
from approximately $6 million to about $432,000 and the 
amount was paid by the company.

438 Integrated Annual Report 2023

In relation to the issue mentioned above, a number of op-
erators  of  the  Sistema  Interconectado  del  Norte  Grande 
(SING),  including  Aes  Gener  SA,  Eléctrica  Angamos  SA 
and  Engie  Energía  Chile  SA,  sued  GasAtacama  Chile  in 
2017 seeking damages for a total amount of about €189 
million.  On  October  17,  2023,  the  Civil  Court  of  Santiago 
issued  a  ruling  partially  upholding  the  plaintiffs’  petitions 
in  an  amount  to  be  quantified  at  a  subsequent  stage  of 
the proceeding. On October 31, 2023 the ruling was chal-
lenged by all the defendants and the appeal proceeding is 
pending. The company and its external legal counsel feel 
that the likelihood of the plaintiffs’ claim being upheld on 
appeal is remote. 

Compañía Minera Arbiodo – Chile
In  2016,  Compañía  Minera  Arbiodo  and  Ingenieros  Ase-
sores Limitada filed a suit against the Ministerio de Bienes 
Nacionales,  the  Ministerio  de  Energía,  the  Ministerio  de 
Minería (together, the “Ministry”), the Servicio Nacional de 
Geología y Minería (Sernageomin), Enel Green Power Chile 
(EGP Chile) and Parque Eólico Taltal SA seeking damages 
for alleged losses incurred as a result of presumed viola-
tions of mining rights to the soil underneath the land on 
which the Taltal wind farm, which was built under a minis-
terial concession granted in 2012, is located. 
With  decision  of  December  6,  2023,  the  Civil  Court  of 
Santiago ordered Parque Eólico Taltal and EGP Chile, joint-
ly  and  severally  with  Sernageomin,  to  pay  an  amount  of 
about 346 billion Chilean pesos (equal to about €367 mil-
lion) in favor of the plaintiffs.
The decision was challenged by the Group companies on 
December 22, 2023 and the appeal proceeding is pend-
ing.  The  companies  and  their  external  legal  counsel  feel 
that the likelihood of the plaintiffs’ claim being upheld on 
appeal is remote.

El Quimbo – Colombia
A number of legal actions (“acciones de grupo” and “ac-
ciones populares”) brought by residents and fishermen in 
the affected area are pending with regard to the El Qui-
mbo  project  for  the  construction  by  Emgesa  (now  Enel 
Colombia) of a 400 MW hydroelectric plant in the region 
of  Huila  (Colombia).  More  specifically,  the  first  collective 
action, currently in the preliminary stage, was brought by 
around 1,140 residents of the municipality of Garzón, who 
claim that the construction of the plant would reduce their 
business  revenue  by  30%.  A  second  action  was  brought, 
between  August  2011  and  December  2012,  by  residents 
and businesses/associations of five municipalities of Hui-
la  claiming  damages  related  to  the  closing  of  a  bridge 
(Paso  El  Colegio).  With  regard  to  acciones  populares,  or 
class action lawsuits, in 2008 a suit was filed by a number 
of residents of the area demanding, among other things, 
that  the  environmental  permit  be  suspended.  As  part  of 
this action, on September 11, 2020, the Huila Court issued 

a partially unfavorable ruling against Emgesa, sentencing it 
to fulfill the obligations already provided for in the environ-
mental license. Both the Autoridad Nacional de Licencias 
Ambientales (ANLA) and Emgesa challenged this decision 
before the Council of State. On September 20, 2022, AN-
LA’s appeal was denied because it had been filed late. The 
proceeding continues in relation to Emgesa’s appeal.
Another acción popular was brought by a number of fish 
farming companies over the alleged impact that filling the 
Quimbo basin would have on fishing in the Betania basin 
downstream from Quimbo. After a number of precaution-
ary  rulings,  on  February  22,  2016,  the  Huila  Court  issued 
a  ruling  allowing  generation  to  continue  for  six  months. 
The court ordered Emgesa to prepare a technical design 
that would ensure compliance with oxygen level require-
ments and to provide collateral of about 20,000,000,000 
Colombian pesos (about €5.5 million). The Huila Court sub-
sequently  extended  the  six-month  time  limit,  and  there-
fore, in the absence of contrary court rulings the Quimbo 
plant is continuing to generate electricity as the oxygen-
ation system installed by Emgesa has so far demonstrat-
ed that it can maintain the oxygen levels required by the 
court. On March 22, 2018, ANLA and CAM jointly presented 
the final report on the monitoring of water quality down-
stream  of  the  dam  of  the  El  Quimbo  hydroelectric  plant. 
Both  authorities  confirmed  the  compliance  of  Emgesa 
with the oxygen level requirements. On January 12, 2021, 
it was learned that the ruling of first instance of the Court 
of Huila had been issued. The ruling, while acknowledging 
that the oxygenation system implemented by Emgesa had 
mitigated the risks associated with the protection of fau-
na  in  the  Bethany  basin,  imposed  a  series  of  obligations 
on  the  environmental  authorities  involved,  as  well  as  on 
Emgesa itself. In particular, the latter is required to imple-
ment a decontamination project to ensure that the water 
in the basin does not generate risks for the flora and fauna 
of the river, which will be subject to verification by ANLA, 
and to make permanent the operation of the oxygenation 
system, adapting it to comply with the parameters estab-
lished by ANLA. On March 4, 2021, Emgesa challenged the 
appeal  ruling  before  the  Council  of  State.  On  December 
31, 2021, the Council of State ruled that Emgesa’s appeal 
was  admissible.  The  proceeding  is  continuing  at  the  ap-
peal level.

Nivel de Tensión Uno proceedings – Colombia
This  dispute  involves  an  “acción  de  grupo”  brought  by 
Centro  Médico  de  la  Sabana  hospital  and  other  parties 
against  Codensa  (now  Enel  Colombia)  seeking  restitu-
tion  of  allegedly  excess  rates.  The  action  is  based  upon 
the alleged failure of Codensa to apply a subsidized rate 
that they claim the users should have paid as Tensión Uno 
category  users  (voltage  of  less  than  1  kV)  and  owners  of 
infrastructure, as established in Resolution no. 82/2002, as 
amended by Resolution no. 97/2008. The preliminary stage

has been completed and a ruling is pending. The estimat-
ed value of the proceeding is about 337 billion Colombian 
pesos (about €96 million).

Group actions for flooding in Bosa and 
Kennedy neighborhoods of Bogotá – 
Colombia 
Emgesa SA (now Enel Colombia SA) was sued with an “ac-
ción de grupo” brought by the residents of the Bosa and 
Kennedy  neighborhoods  of  Bogotá  (Colombia)  seeking 
damages for flooding that occurred in 2010 and 2011 after 
the Bogotá overflowed its banks. The proceeding is at the 
preliminary stage. The estimated value of the proceeding 
is about 2.2 billion Colombian pesos (about €518 million). 

Kino arbitration – Mexico
On September 16, 2020, Kino Contractor SA de Cv (Kino 
Contractor), Kino Facilities Manager SA de Cv (Kino Facili-
ties) and Enel SpA (Enel) were notified of a request for arbi-
tration filed by Parque Solar Don José SA de Cv, Villanueva 
Solar SA de Cv and Parque Solar Villanueva Tres SA de Cv 
(together, “Project Companies”) in which the Project Com-
panies alleged the violation (i) by Kino Contractor of certain 
provisions of the EPC Contract and (ii) by Kino Facilities of 
certain  provisions  of  the  Asset  Management  Agreement, 
both  contracts  concerning  solar  projects  owned  by  the 
three companies filing for arbitration. Enel – which is the 
guarantor of the obligations assumed by Kino Contractor 
and  Kino  Facilities  under  the  above  contracts  –  has  also 
been called into the arbitration proceeding, but no specif-
ic claims have been filed against it for the moment.
The  Project  Companies,  in  which  Enel  Green  Power  SpA 
is a non-controlling shareholder, are controlled by CDPQ 
Infraestructura Participación SA de Cv (which is controlled 
by Caisse de Dépôt et Placement du Québec) and CKD In-
fraestructura México SA de Cv. 
On August 4, 2023, the arbitration ruling was notified. The 
arbitration board declared that it did not have jurisdiction 
against Enel SpA and, in partially granting the claim of the 
Project Companies, ordered Kino Contractor and Kino Fa-
cilities (now Enel Services Mexico SA de Cv - Enel Services) 
to pay penalties totaling about $77 million, plus interest at 
an annual rate of 6%. Subsequently, Kino Contractor and 
Enel Services filed a petition requesting correction of the 
arbitration award, which was partially granted and, on De-
cember  13,  2023,  they  filed  a  petition  to  void  the  award 
before the Mexican courts. The proceeding is pending. 
In December 2023, the Project Companies filed a suit be-
fore the Supreme Court of the State of New York against 
Enel,  in  its  capacity  as  guarantor  of  the  obligations  as-
sumed by Kino Contractor, to request payment due by the 
latter  under  the  provisions  of  the  arbitration  award.  The 
substance  and  legal  grounds  of  the  suit  are  being  con-
tested in full and the proceeding is pending.

Allianz – North America
On  May  18,  2022,  High  Lonesome  Wind  Project  LLC  was 
sued  in  New  York  Superior  Court  by  Allianz  Risk  Transfer 
Ltd for about $203 million concerning an alleged liability 
accrued by the company, as of February 2021, in connec-
tion with a Proxy Revenue Swap. The claim is being con-
tested in its entirety. The proceedings are currently pend-
ing before the Southern District Court in New York.

Osage Wind – North America
As part of a lawsuit filed by the United States (in its capac-
ity as trustee of the Osage Nation) and the Osage Miner-
al Council against Enel Green Power North America, Enel 
Kansas LLC and Osage Wind LLC, on December 20, 2023 a 
ruling of the Oklahoma District Court ordered the removal 
of the wind farm and the continuation of the proceeding 
for damages, which were quantified by the plaintiffs in the 
amount of at least $25 million. The proceeding is continu-
ing  at  first  instance  and  the  plaintiffs’  claims  have  been 
contested. The ruling, which is not final, will be appealed at 
the appropriate time.

Gastalsa – Peru
In  February  2022,  Enel  Generación  Piura  SA  (EGPIURA) 
learned  of  a  precautionary  measure  issued  by  the  Civil 
Court of Talara of the Superior Court of Justice of Sullana 
(Juzgado Civil de Talara de la Corte Superior de Justicia de 
Sullana) in favor of Empresa de Gas de Talara SA (Gastal-
sa) which orders the Dirección General de Hidrocarburos 
del Ministerio de Energía y Minas, the Organismo Superior 
de la Inversión en Energía y Minería (OSINERGMIN) and the 
Ministry of Energy to (i) restore the natural gas concession 
of  the  Parinas  district  in  favor  of  Gastalsa;  and  (ii)  pro-
ceed with the upgrade and transfer of the pipeline owned 
by  EGPIURA  (which  supplies  natural  gas  to  the  Malacas 
thermal  power  station)  to  Gastalsa.  That  precautionary 
measure  was  a  consequence  of  the  ruling  issued  by  the 
Court of Talara partially granting a claim filed by Gastalsa 
requesting to revoke the measure that canceled the con-
cession granted to Gastalsa and the consequent transfer 
of the gas pipeline owned by EGPIURA to Gastalsa itself. 
On  August  2,  2022,  the  Sala  Civil  de  la  Corte  Superior 
de  Justicia  de  Sullana  ruled  against  Gastalsa  in  the  sec-
ond-level  appeal,  referring  the  case  to  the  court  of  first 
instance  for  a  new  decision.  As  a  result  of  that  decision, 
on September 9, 2022, the precautionary measure issued 
earlier was revoked. 
In the meantime, in July 2022, the Constitutional Court had 
granted the petition of the system operator, an interest-
ed third party, acknowledging that the original petition of 
Gastalsa had been filed after the time limit. On January 24, 
2023  the  Constitutional  Court  also  denied  the  appeal  of 
that measure, which has thus become final, and ordered 
the  Court  of  Appeal  to  issue  a  new  decision  concerning 
the forfeiture of the petition. 

440 Integrated Annual Report 2023

With a ruling of June 27, 2023, the Court of Appeal denied 
the  claim  of  forfeit  advanced  by  an  affected  third  party, 
while with a decision of July 25, 2023 the court of first in-
stance revoked the suspension of the proceeding that had 
been ordered and took up the case for a decision. With a 
measure of September 15, 2023, the court found the claim 
that the provision was null raised by EGPIURA and the oth-
er party was unfounded and scheduled oral arguments for 
September 25, 2023. EGPIURA and the other party in the 
proceeding appealed that ruling with the Court of Appeal, 
which, with decision of January 20, 2024, revoked the ap-
pealed measure and remanded the suit for trial at first in-
stance. A decision is pending.
In the meantime, on August 9, 2023 EGPIURA also filed an 
appeal with the Superior Court of Justice of Lima against 
the decision of June 27, 2023 of the Court of Appeal, argu-
ing that it conflicted with the ruling of the Constitutional 
Court of January 24, 2023. 
The hearing to argue the case is scheduled for August 7, 
2024. 

Gabčíkovo litigation – Slovakia
Slovenské elektrárne (SE) is involved in a number of cas-
es  before  the  national  courts  concerning  the  720  MW 
Gabčíkovo  hydroelectric  plant,  which  is  administered 
by  Vodohospodárska  Výsatavba  Štátny  Podnik  (VV)  and 
whose operation and maintenance, as part of the privat-
ization of SE in 2006, had been entrusted to SE for a pe-
riod of 30 years under an operating agreement (the VEG 
Operating Agreement).
Immediately after the closing of the privatization, the Pub-
lic  Procurement  Office  (PPO)  filed  suit  with  the  Court  of 
Bratislava seeking to void the VEG Operating Agreement 
on the basis of alleged violations of the regulations gov-
erning public tenders, qualifying the contract as a service 
contract  and  as  such  governed  by  those  regulations.  In 
November 2011 the trial court ruled in favor of SE, where-
upon the PPO appealed the decision.
In parallel with the PPO action, VV also filed a number of 
suits, asking in particular for the voidance of the VEG Op-
erating Agreement. On December 12, 2014, VV withdrew 
unilaterally from the VEG Operating Agreement, notifying 
its termination on March 9, 2015, for breach of contract. 
On March 9, 2015, the decision of the appeals court over-
turned the ruling of the trial court and voided the contract 
as  part  of  the  action  pursued  by  the  PPO.  SE  lodged  an 
extraordinary appeal against that decision before the Su-
preme Court. At a hearing of June 29, 2016, the Supreme 
Court denied the appeal and SE then appealed the ruling 
to the Constitutional Court, which denied the appeal with 
a ruling on January 18, 2017, which then became final. 
In  addition,  SE  lodged  a  request  for  arbitration  with  the 
Vienna International Arbitral Centre (VIAC) under the VEG 
Indemnity Agreement. Under that accord, which had been 
signed  as  part  of  the  privatization  between  the  National 

Property Fund (now MH Manazment - MHM) of the Slovak 
Republic and SE, the latter was entitled to an indemnity in 
the  event  of  the  early  termination  of  the  VEG  Operating 
Agreement for reasons not attributable to SE. On June 30, 
2017, the arbitration court issued its ruling denying the re-
quest of SE.
In  parallel  with  this  arbitration  proceeding,  both  VV  and 
MHM filed two suits in the Slovakian courts to void the VEG 
Indemnity Agreement owing to the alleged connection of 
the latter with the VEG Operating Agreement. These pro-
ceedings  were  rejected  for  procedural  reasons  on  Sep-
tember 27, 2017. Both VV and MHM appealed that decision, 
and both the appeals were denied upholding the trial court 
decision in favor of SE. VV filed a further appeal (dovolanie) 
against that decision on March 9, 2020, with the Supreme 
Court, to which SE replied with a brief submitted on June 
8, 2020. SE also filed an appeal before the Slovak Constitu-
tional Court, which was denied on July 29, 2021. On March 
24,  2021,  the  Supreme  Court  overturned  the  decision  of 
the Bratislava Court of Appeal, referring the judgment to 
the latter court, and the proceeding is currently pending.
At the local level, VV has also filed other suits against SE for 
alleged unjustified enrichment (estimated at about €360 
million plus interest) for the period from 2006 to 2015. SE 
filed  counterclaims  for  all  of  the  proceedings  under  way. 
Developments  in  those  proceedings  can  be  summarized 
as follows: 
i.  for  2006-2008,  at  the  hearing  of  June  26,  2019,  the 
Court of Bratislava rejected VV’s main claim and, con-
sequently, SE’s counterclaim. The ruling in first instance 
was appealed by both parties before the Court of Appe-
al of Bratislava. The proceedings relating to 2006 were 
completed  with  the  decision  of  December  6,  2022, 
notified to SE on February 18, 2023, which upheld the 
ruling  in  first  instance.  In  April  2023,  both  SE  and  VV 
filed  extraordinary  appeals  before  the  Supreme  Court 
against the Court of Appeal ruling and the proceeding 
is pending. As regards the proceedings relating to 2007, 
the Court of Appeal, in a ruling dated January 31, 2023, 
notified to SE on April 12, 2023, voided the decision of 
first  instance,  referring  the  case  back  to  the  Court  of 
Bratislava for a new judgment. The first hearing was held 
on January 8, 2024 and the proceeding was adjourned 
to  a  hearing  scheduled  for  September  11,  2024.  The 
proceedings relating to 2008 are still pending; 

ii.  the proceedings relating to the years 2011 and 2015 are 
all pending before the court of first instance and briefs 
have  been  exchanged  between  the  parties.  For  both 
proceedings, hearings before the court of first instance 
were postponed several times owing to the pandemic 
and are now postponed to dates to be determined;
iii. the  proceedings  relating  to  the  years  2009,  2010  and 
2013 were completed in the court of first instance with 
ruling  issued  by  the  Court  of  Bratislava  on,  respecti-
vely, November 24, 15 and 22, 2022, rejecting both VV’s

claim and SE’s counterclaim. Between December 2022 
and January 2023 both SE and VV filed appeals against 
the rulings relating to the years 2009, 2010 and  2013, 
and the proceeding is now pending. The proceedings 
relating to 2014 were completed at first instance with 
a ruling of the Court of Bratislava of October 10, 2023, 
which has not yet been published, rejecting the primary 
claim of VV and, consequently, the counterclaim of SE;
iv.  as regards the proceeding relating to the year 2012, on 
February  2,  2023  SE  was  notified  of  the  appeal  ruling 
upholding  the  ruling  of  first  instance  denying  of  both 
VV’s  claim  and  SE’s  counterclaim.  Both  VV  and  SE,  on 
March 17, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively, have 
filed  an  extraordinary  appeal  with  the  Supreme  Court 
against the appellate ruling and the proceeding is pen-
ding.

Finally,  in  another  proceeding  VV  asked  for  SE  to  return 
the fee for the transfer from SE to VV of the technology 
assets of the Gabčíkovo plant as part of the privatization, 
with a value of about €43 million plus interest. After issu-
ing a preliminary decision on the case in which it noted the 
lack of standing of VV, on December 18, 2020, the Court 
issued a decision in favor of SE, rejecting VV’s claims. On 
January 4, 2021, VV filed an appeal against that decision, 
and the proceeding is pending.

Tax litigation in Brazil

Withholding Tax – Ampla
In  1998,  Ampla  Energia  e  Serviços  SA  (Ampla)  financed 
the  acquisition  of  Coelce  with  the  issue  of  bonds  in  the 
amount  of  $350  million  (“Fixed  Rate  Notes”  -  FRN)  sub-
scribed by its Panamanian subsidiary, which had been es-
tablished  to  raise  funds  abroad.  Under  the  special  rules 
then in force, subject to maintaining the bond until 2008, 
the interest paid by Ampla to its subsidiary was not subject 
to withholding tax in Brazil.
However, the financial crisis of 1998 forced the Panama-
nian company to refinance itself with its Brazilian parent, 
which  for  that  purpose  obtained  loans  from  local  banks. 
The  tax  authorities  considered  this  financing  to  be  the 
equivalent  of  the  early  extinguishment  of  the  bond,  with 
the consequent loss of entitlement to the exemption from 
withholding tax. 
In December 2005, Ampla carried out a spin-off that in-
volved the transfer of the residual FRN debt  and the  as-
sociated rights and obligations to Ampla Investimentos e 
Serviços SA. 
On November 6, 2012, the Câmara Superior de Recursos 
Fiscais  (the  highest  level  of  administrative  courts)  issued 
a  ruling  against  Ampla,  for  which  the  company  prompt-
ly asked that body for clarifications. On October 15, 2013, 
Ampla was notified of the denial of the request for clari-
fication  (embargo  de  declaração),  thereby  upholding  the 
previous adverse decision. The company provided security 

for the debt and on June 27, 2014 continued litigation be-
fore the ordinary courts (Tribunal de Justiça).
In  December  2017,  the  court  appointed  an  expert  to  ex-
amine the issue in greater detail in support of the future 
ruling. In September 2018, the expert submitted a report, 
requesting additional documentation.
In  December  2018,  the  company,  now  Enel  Distribuição 
Rio  de  Janeiro,  provided  the  additional  documentation 
and,  in  view  of  the  conclusions  presented  by  the  expert, 
requested a further expert opinion. The case has been re-
ferred to the expert for clarifications regarding the posi-
tion expressed by the company.
In July 2021, the supplementary report was filed by the ex-
pert  in  which  the  existence  of  the  loan  agreements  was 
acknowledged  and  the  bond  loan  was  terminated,  both 
for the principal amount and for interest, mainly through a 
capital increase. The company, called to pronounce on the 
report filed, requests the full cancellation of the tax debt.
The amount involved in the dispute at December 31, 2023 
was about €270 million.

PIS/COFINS/ICMS – Enel Distribuição São Paulo
In March 2017, the Supremo Tribunal Federal of Brazil (STF) 
ruled on the calculation of the PIS and COFINS taxes, con-
firming the argument that the ICMS (Imposto sobre Circu-
lação de Mercadorias e Serviços, tax on the circulation of 
goods and services) tax was not included in the calculation 
basis of the PIS and COFINS.
In  May  2021,  the  STF  established  that  the  ruling  would 
have effect from the judgment of March 2017, except for 
taxpayers who had filed an appeal before that date.
The Group’s Brazilian companies affected by the STF rul-
ing  had  already  initiated  legal  action  in  their  respective 
federal  regional  courts.  Subsequently,  the  latter  notified 
them of the final decision, recognizing the right to deduct 
the ICMS applied to their operations from the calculation 
basis  of  the  PIS  and  COFINS.  Since  the  excess  payment 
of the PIS and COFINS taxes had been transferred to final 
customers, at the same time as the recognition of these 
recoverable taxes, a liability in respect of those customers 
was recognized in the same amount, net of any costs in-
curred  or  to  be  incurred  in  the  legal  proceedings.  These 
liabilities represent an obligation to reimburse the recov-
ered taxes to final customers.
In  this  regard,  Enel  Distribuição  São  Paulo  initiated  two 
proceedings that led to rulings in its favor. These regarded 
the periods from December 2003 to December 2014 and 
from  January  2015  onwards.  With  regard  to  the  second 
proceeding, the Federal Union filed an action of rescission 
against  the  company,  disputing  the  fact  that  part  of  the 
period in question (prior to March 2017) would be adverse-
ly impacted by the STF ruling of May 2021.
In May 2022, the company challenged this action and will 
defend its actions through the various levels of the court 
system. During 2023, following an adverse ruling at the ap-

442 Integrated Annual Report 2023

peal level, the company filed a new appeal seeking clarifi-
cation of the ruling.
The estimated amount involved in the proceeding at De-
cember 31, 2023 was about €235 million.

IRPJ/CSLL – Eletropaulo
On October 5, 2021, Eletropaulo received an assessment 
notice  from  the  Brazilian  tax  authorities  contesting  the 
deductibility  for  income  tax  purposes  (Imposto  sobre  a  
Renda das Pessoas Jurídicas - IRPJ and Contribuição So-
cial sobre o Lucro Líquido - CSLL) of the amortization of 
the  increased  values  generated  by  extraordinary  corpo-
rate transactions carried out before the acquisition of the 
company  by  the  Enel  Group.  The  contested  period  runs 
from 2017 to 2019.
Considering  its  position  sound,  the  company  presented 
its defense at the first level of administrative adjudication.
The amount involved in the dispute at December 31, 2023 
was about €158 million.

PIS – Eletropaulo
In July 2000, Eletropaulo filed suit seeking a tax credit for 
PIS  (Programa  Integração  Social)  paid  in  application  of 
regulations  (Decree  Laws  2.445/1988  and  2.449/1988) 
that  were  subsequently  declared  unconstitutional  by  the 
Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF). In May 2012, the Superior 
Tribunal de Justiça (STJ) issued a final ruling in favor of the 
company that recognized the right to the credit.
In 2002, before the issue of that favorable final ruling, the 
company had offset its credit against other federal taxes. 
This behavior was contested by the federal tax authorities 
but  the  company,  claiming  it  had  acted  correctly,  chal-
lenged in court the assessments issued by the federal tax 
authorities. Following defeat at the initial level of adjudica-
tion, the company appealed.
The amount involved in the dispute at December 31, 2023 
was about €134 million.

ICMS – Ampla, Coelce and Eletropaulo
The States of Rio de Janeiro, Ceará and São Paulo issued 
a  number  of  tax  assessments  against  Ampla  Energia  e 
Serviços  SA  (for  the  years  1996-1999  and  2007-2017), 
Companhia  Energética  do  Ceará  (2003,  2004,  2006-
2012, 2015, 2016 and 2018) and Eletropaulo (2008-2021), 
challenging the deduction of ICMS (Imposto sobre Circu-
lação de Mercadorias e Serviços, tax on the circulation of 
goods and services) in relation to the purchase of certain 
non-current  assets.  The  companies  challenged  the  as-
sessments,  arguing  that  they  correctly  deducted  the  tax 
and asserting that the assets, the purchase of which gen-
erated  the  ICMS,  are  intended  for  use  in  their  electricity 
distribution activities. 
The companies are continuing to defend their actions at 
the various levels of adjudication.

The amount involved in the disputes totaled approximately 
€106 million at December 31, 2023.

Withholding Tax – Endesa Brasil
On November 4, 2014, the Brazilian tax authorities issued 
an  assessment  against  Endesa  Brasil  SA  (now  Enel  Brasil 
SA)  alleging  the  failure  to  apply  withholding  tax  to  divi-
dends, reclassified as payment of income to non-resident 
recipients.
More  specifically,  in  2009,  Endesa  Brasil,  as  a  result  of 
the  first-time  application  of  the  IFRS,  had  derecognized 
goodwill, recognizing the effects in equity, on the basis of 
the correct application of the accounting standards it had 
adopted.  The  Brazilian  tax  authorities,  however,  asserted 
– during an audit – that the accounting treatment was in-
correct and that the effects of the derecognition should 
have  been  recognized  through  profit  or  loss.  As  a  result, 
the  corresponding  amount  (about  €202  million)  was  re-
classified  as  a  payment  of  income  to  non-residents  and, 
therefore, subject to withholding tax of 15%.
It should be noted that the accounting treatment adopted 
by the company was agreed with the external auditor and 
also confirmed by a specific legal opinion issued by a local 
firm.
Following  unfavorable  rulings  from  the  administrative 
courts,  the  company  is  continuing  to  defend  its  actions 
in court and the appropriateness of the accounting treat-
ment.
The  overall  amount  involved  in  the  dispute  at  December 
31, 2022 was about €77 million.

ICMS – Coelce
The  State  of  Ceará  has  filed  various  tax  assessments 
against Companhia Energética do Ceará SA over the years 
(for tax periods 2015-2018), as well as against all other en-
ergy distributors in Brazil,  demanding  the  ICMS  (Imposto 
sobre  Circulação  de  Mercadorias  e  Serviços,  tax  on  the 
circulation of goods and services) on the subsidies paid by 
the Federal government against the regulatory discounts 
granted to certain consumers.
The  company  has  appealed  the  individual  assessments 
and is defending its actions in the various levels of juris-
diction.
The  overall  amount  involved  in  the  dispute  at  December 
31, 2023 was about €69 million.

PIS/COFINS – Eletropaulo
Starting from June 2017, the Federal Tax Authority served a 
number of tax assessment notices against Eletropaulo (for 
the 2013-2018 tax periods) contesting the offsetting of tax 
credits  relating  to  social  security  contributions  (PIS  and 
COFINS), requesting the payment of those contributions.
The  tax  authorities  argue  that  the  company  has  claimed 
PIS  and  COFINS  credits  for  the  purchase  of  goods  and

services  that  cannot  be  considered  fiscally  relevant  since 
they are not essential for the distribution of electricity. Fur-
thermore,  it  disputes  the  claim  of  a  tax  credit  associated 
with “non-technical” losses on the electricity purchased.
The  company  has  promptly  defended  the  accuracy  of  its 
calculations in the various levels of jurisdiction and argued 
the validity of the offsets claimed.
The  estimated  amount  involved  in  the  proceeding  at  De-
cember 31, 2023 was about €55 million.

ICMS (pro-rata) – Coelce
The State of Ceará has filed various tax assessments against 
Companhia Energética do Ceará SA over the years (for tax 
periods from 2005 to 2014), contesting the determination 
of  the  deductible  portion  of  the  ICMS  (Imposto  sobre  Cir-
culação de Mercadorias e Serviços, tax on the circulation of 
goods and services) and in particular the method of calcula-
tion of the pro-rata deduction with reference to the revenue 
deriving from the application of a special rate envisaged by 
the Brazilian government for the sale of electricity to low-in-
come households (Baixa Renda). 
The company has appealed the individual assessments, ar-
guing that the tax deduction was calculated correctly. The 
company is defending its actions in the various levels of ju-
risdiction.
The overall amount involved in the dispute at December 31, 
2023 was about €52 million.

PIS – Eletropaulo
In December 1995, the Brazilian government increased the 
rate of the federal PIS (Programa Integração Social) tax from 
0.50% to 0.65% with the issue of a provisional measure (Ex-
ecutive Provisional Order).
Subsequently,  the  provisional  measure  was  re-issued  five 
times before its definitive ratification into law in 1998. Under 
Brazilian legislation, an increase in the tax rate (or the estab-
lishment of a new tax) can only be ordered by law and take 
effect 90 days after its publication. 
Eletropaulo  therefore  filed  suit  arguing  that  an  increase  in 
the tax rate would only have been effective 90 days after the 
last  Provisional  Order,  claiming  that  the  effects  of  the  first 
four provisional measures should be considered void (since 
they were never ratified into law). This dispute ended in April 
2008 with recognition of the validity of the increase in the 
PIS rate starting from the first provisional measure.
In May 2008, the Brazilian tax authorities filed a suit against 
Eletropaulo  to  request  payment  of  taxes  corresponding 
to  the  rate  increase  from  March  1996  to  December  1998. 
Eletropaulo has fought the request at the various levels of 
adjudication, arguing that the time limit for the issue of the 
notice  of  assessment  had  lapsed.  In  particular,  since  more 
than five years have passed since the taxable event (Decem-
ber 1995, the date of the first provisional measure) without 
issuing any formal instrument, the right of the tax authorities 
to request the payment of additional taxes and the author-

ity to undertake legal action to obtain payment have been 
challenged.
In  2017,  following  the  unfavorable  decisions  issued  in  pre-
vious  rulings,  Eletropaulo  filed  an  appeal  in  defense  of  its 
rights and its actions with the  Superior Tribunal de Justiça 
(STJ) and the Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF). The proceed-
ings are still pending while the amounts subject to dispute 
have been covered by a bank guarantee.
With regard to the request of the Office of the Attorney Gen-
eral of the Brazilian National Treasury Department to replace 
the bank guarantee with a deposit in court, the court of sec-
ond instance granted the petition. The company therefore 
replaced the bank guarantee with a cash deposit and filed 
a clarification motion against the related decision, which is 
currently awaiting a decision.
The overall amount involved in the dispute at December 31, 
2023 was about €48 million.

FINSOCIAL – Eletropaulo 
Following a final ruling issued by the Federal Regional Court 
on  September  11,  2011,  Eletropaulo  was  recognized  the 
right to compensation for certain FINSOCIAL credits (social 
contributions) relating to sums paid from September 1989 
to March 1992.
Despite the expiration of the relative statute of limitations, 
the  Federal  Tax  Authority  contested  the  determination  of 
some  credits  and  rejected  the  corresponding  offsetting, 
issuing  tax  assessments  that  the  company  promptly  chal-
lenged in the administrative courts, defending the legitima-
cy of its calculations and actions.
After  an  unfavorable  ruling  at  first  instance,  the  company 
filed  an  appeal  before  the  administrative  court  of  second 
instance.
The overall amount involved in the dispute at December 31, 
2023 was about €48 million.

Tax litigation in Spain

Income tax – Enel Iberia, Endesa and subsidiaries
In  2018,  the  Spanish  tax  authorities  completed  a  general 
audit involving the companies of the Group participating in 
the Spanish tax consolidation mechanism. This audit, which 
began in 2016, involved corporate income tax, value added 
tax and withholding taxes (mainly for the years 2011 to 2014).
With reference to the main claims, the companies involved 
have challenged the related assessments at the first admin-
istrative  level  (Tribunal  Económico-Administrativo  Central  - 
TEAC), defending the correctness of their actions.
On April 4, 2022, the TEAC rejected the appeal and the com-
panies are continuing to defend their actions in court (Audi-
encia Nacional).
With regard to the disputes concerning corporate income 
tax, the issues for which an unfavorable outcome is consid-
ered possible amounted to about €134 million at December 
31, 2023: 

444 Integrated Annual Report 2023

i.  Enel Iberia is defending the appropriateness of the crite-
rion adopted for determining the deductibility of capital 
losses deriving from stock sales (around €88 million) and 
certain financial expense (around €15 million); 

ii.  Endesa and its subsidiaries are mainly defending the ap-
propriateness of the criteria adopted for the deductibility 
of certain financial expense (about €25 million) and co-
sts for decommissioning nuclear power plants (about €6 
million). 

In 2021, the Spanish tax authorities completed a new gener-
al audit for the years 2015 to 2018. The companies involved 
have challenged the related assessments at the first admin-
istrative level (TEAC), defending the correctness of their ac-
tions. 
With reference to the main claims concerning corporate tax 
and regarding the deductibility of certain financial expense, 
the dispute that could produce an adverse ruling amounts 
to  about  €226  million  at  December  31,  2023  (Enel  Iberia 
€213 million; Endesa SA €13 million).

58. Environmental programs

Some Group companies are affected by national or supra-
national  environmental  regulatory  standards  designed  to 
develop the use of environmental protection mechanisms 
in accordance with the environmental policies of the Euro-
pean Union and global international agreements.

Income tax – Enel Green Power España SL
On June 7, 2017, the Spanish tax authorities issued a notice 
of assessment to Enel Green Power España SL, contesting 
the treatment of the merger of Enel Unión Fenosa Renov-
ables SA (EUFER) into Enel Green Power España SL in 2011 as 
a tax neutral transaction, asserting that the transaction had 
no valid economic reason.
On July 6, 2017, the company appealed the assessment at 
the  first  administrative  level  (Tribunal  Económico-Adminis-
trativo  Central  -  TEAC),  defending  the  appropriateness  of 
the tax treatment applied to the merger. The company has 
provided  the  supporting  documentation  demonstrating 
the  synergies  achieved  as  a  result  of  the  merger  in  order 
to  prove  the  existence  of  a  valid  economic  reason  for  the 
transaction.  On  December  10,  2019,  the  TEAC  denied  the 
appeal and the company is continuing to defend its actions 
in court (Audiencia Nacional).
The overall amount involved in the dispute at December 31, 
2023 was about €98 million.

58.1 Terms and nature of environmental 
programs
The main environmental programs affecting Group com-
panies  are  summarized  in  the  following  table  in  accor-

EU ETS(78)

Energy 
efficiency 
certificates

The scheme, which applies in all EU countries, sets an annual cap on emissions that 
is being progressively reduced to bring down the total emissions in Europe.
The fourth trading period (2021-2030) has been tightened up as part of the EU’s 
contribution to the Paris Climate Agreement.
At the annual cap correspond a specific number of allowances (for each authorized 
industrial plant) that are granted, through participation in auctions or for free, by the 
competent local authority, freely transferable and traded between operators.
The obliged companies shall surrender several allowances equivalent to their 
polluting emissions for each reporting period. 

Mandatory by law “cap and trade” scheme.
Within the Group, CO2 allowances are 
applicable to the thermal power generation 
companies operating in Italy and Spain. 
In those countries in which the Group is 
engaged in thermal power generation 
activity, European regulations have required 
that EU Allowances (EUAs) are assigned via 
auction, and they are not granted for free.

The scheme has the objective to reduce the energy consumption by end-users 
through various measures developed in application of European Union Directives 
and by national laws.
These marketable certificates are issued, over a period of several years, by the 
competent local authorities to companies that carry out directly or indirectly 
initiatives/projects to improve energy efficiency.
At the end of the period, obliged companies are required to present certificates 
corresponding to their obligatory energy savings. 

Mandatory by law.
The Group currently holds energy efficiency 
certificates in Italy and Spain where the 
obliged companies are, respectively, 
electricity distribution and sale companies.

Guarantees of 
origin (GoOs)

This European scheme has the objective to encourage use of energy produced from 
renewable sources.
These certificates are issued by the competent local authorities to renewable 
generation plants that meet specific standards. They are marketable and traded, also 
separately from the electricity to which they refer, during their term of validity until 
they are cancelled by the issuer at the request of the user of the certificates.

This mechanism currently affects the Group 
Italian and Spanish sale companies that have 
an obligation to surrender a certain volume 
of GoOs depending on the level of sales to 
customers.

Renewable 
Energy 
Certificates 
(RECs)

These certificates are granted in countries outside Europe to renewable energy 
generation companies to prove that consumed electricity has been generated in a 
renewable way. 
The functioning of this scheme is analogous to European GoOs.

This mechanism is voluntary and currently 
affects some Group companies in North and 
Latin America.

58.2 Accounting policies
For the purposes of accounting for charges arising from 
such regulatory requirements, the Group uses the “net li-
ability approach”.
Under this accounting policy:
•  any environmental certificates received free of charge 
and  those  self-produced  as  a  result  of  Group’s  oper-
ations  that  will  be  used  for  compliance  purposes  are 
recognized at nominal value (nil);

•  charges  incurred  for  obtaining  (in  the  market  or  in 
some other transaction for consideration) any missing 
certificates  to  fulfil  compliance  requirements  for  the 
reporting period are recognized through profit or loss 
under other operating costs, as they represent “system 
charges”  consequent  to  compliance  with  a  regulatory 
requirement;

•  if the number of environmental certificates available at 
the reporting date is not sufficient to fulfill the related 
obligation (a certificate “deficit”), a provision is accrued 
under  “provisions  for  risks  and  charges”.  Conversely, 
any “surplus” of certificates purchased at the reporting 
date is recognized in “inventories” in accordance with 
the general principles referred to in note 2.2 “Material 
accounting policies”.

Some  types  of  environmental  certificates  accrue  in  pro-
portion to:
•  electricity generated by plants that use renewable re-
sources (for example, guarantees of origin and renew-
able energy certificates);

•  energy  savings  certified  by  the  competent  authority 

(energy efficiency certificates).

In these cases, the right to obtain such certificates can be

Total

treated  as  a  non-monetary  government  operating  grant 
and, as such, the Group recognizes that right at fair value 
under  “other  non-current/current  non-financial  assets”. 
When  the  certificates  are  credited  to  the  ownership  ac-
count, they are reclassified from other assets to invento-
ries.
The corresponding income is recognized under other op-
erating profit.
For  Group  companies  involved  in  trading  activities,  envi-
ronmental certificates represent goods exchanged as part 
of  their  normal  business  activity  and,  as  such,  the  pur-
chased  certificates  are  recognized  under  “services  and 
other materials”.
Revenue  from  the  sale  of  such  certificates  is  recognized 
under “revenue”, with a corresponding decrease in inven-
tories.
Contracts for the purchase or sale of environmental cer-
tificates settled at a future date (for example, forward con-
tracts, etc.) that comply with the definition of derivative are 
recognized  and  measured  in  accordance  with  the  “own 
use exemption”, at fair value through profit or loss, or with 
hedge  accounting  rules  based  on  specific  circumstanc-
es. For further details, please see note 51 “Derivatives and 
hedge accounting”.

The increase in costs for environmental certificates com-
pared with the previous year is mainly attributable to the 
increase  in  charges  recognized  for  guarantees  of  origin 
by Enel Energia and the Endesa Group, which reflects the 
increase in the quantity of green energy sold to customers 

and the prices of those certificates.
This effect was partially offset by a decrease in charges for 
emissions allowances, essentially in Italy, mainly connected 
with a decline in the quantity of electricity produced from 
fossil sources.

59. Future accounting standards

The  following  provides  a  list  of  accounting  standards, 
amendments  and  interpretations  that  will  take  effect  for 
the Group after December 31, 2023.
•  “Amendments  to  IAS  1  –  Classification  of  Liabilities  as 
Current  or  Non-current”,  issued  in  January  2020.  The 
amendments  regard  the  provisions  of  IAS  1  concern-
ing the presentation of liabilities. More specifically, the 
changes clarify:
 – the criteria to adopt in classifying a liability as  cur-
rent or non-current, specifying the meaning of right 
to defer settlement and that that right must exist at 
the end of the reporting period;

 – that the classification is unaffected by the intentions 
or expectations of management about the exercise 
of the right to defer settlement of a liability;

 – that the right to defer exists if and only if the entity 
satisfies  the  terms  of  the  liability  at  the  end  of  the 
reporting period, even if the creditor does not verify 
compliance with those terms until later; and

 – that  settlement  regards  the  transfer  to  the  coun-
terparty of cash, equity instruments, other assets or 
services.

The amendments take effect for annual periods begin-
ning on or after January 1, 2024.(79) 

•  “Amendments  to  IAS  1  –  Non-current  Liabilities  with 
Covenants”, issued in October 2022. IAS 1 requires clas-
sification of liabilities as non-current only where an en-
tity has a right to defer settlement in the 12 months fol-
lowing the reporting date. Nevertheless, the right to do 
so is often subject to compliance with covenants. The 
amendments of the standard improve disclosure when 
the right to defer settlement of a liability for at least 12 
months  is  subject  to  compliance  with  covenants  and 
specify that the classification of the liability as current 
or non-current at the reporting date is not affected by 
covenants  that  must  be  complied  with  subsequent  to 
the reporting date.
The amendments take effect for annual periods begin-
ning on or after January 1, 2024.

•  “Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 – Sale or Contri-
bution  of  Assets  between  an  Investor  and  its  Associ-
ate  or  Joint  Venture”,  issued  in  September  2014.  The 
amendments clarify the accounting treatment for sales 
or  contribution  of  assets  between  an  investor  and  its 
associates or joint ventures. They confirm that the ac-
counting  treatment  depends  on  whether  the  assets 
sold  or  contributed  to  an  associate  or  joint  venture 
constitute a “business“ (as defined in IFRS 3). The IASB 
has deferred the effective date of these amendments 
indefinitely.

•  “Amendments to IFRS 16 – Lease Liability in a Sale and 
Leaseback”,  issued  in  September  2022.  The  amend-
ments  require  the  seller-lessee  to  measure  the  right-
of-use  asset  arising  from  a  sale  and  leaseback  trans-
action in proportion to the previous carrying amount of 
the asset involved in the arrangement and in line with 
the retained right-of-use. Consequently, the seller-les-
see will be allowed to recognize only the amount of any 
capital gain or loss relating to the rights transferred to 
the buyer-lessor.
The  amendments  do  not  prescribe  specific  measure-
ment requirements for liabilities deriving from a lease-
back. However, they include examples that illustrate the 
initial  and  subsequent  measurement  of  the  liability  by 
including variable payments that do not depend on an 
index or a rate. This representation is a departure from 
the  general  accounting  model  required  by  IFRS  16,  in 
which variable payments that do not depend on an in-
dex or a rate are recognized through profit or loss in the 
period in which the event or condition that determines 
these payments occurs. In this regard, the seller-lessee 
will have to develop and apply an accounting policy to 
determine the lease payments such that any amount of 
retained right-of-use gain or loss is not recognized. 
The amendments take effect for annual periods begin-
ning  January  1,  2024.  In  conformity  with  “IAS  8  -  Ac-
counting  Policies,  Changes  in  Accounting  Estimates 
and  Errors”,  retrospective  application  is  permitted  for 
sale and leaseback transactions entered into after the 
date of initial application of IFRS 16. 

•  “Amendments to IAS 21 – The Effects of Changes in For-
eign  Exchange  Rates:  Lack  of  Exchangeability”,  issued 
in August 2023. The amendments require the applica-
tion of a consistent approach in determining whether 
a currency is exchangeable for another and, when it is 
not, in determining the exchange rate to be used and 
the disclosure to be provided. 
The  amendments  will  take  effect,  subject  to  endorse-
ment,  for  annual  periods  beginning  January  1,  2025 
(earlier application is permitted).

•  “Amendments  to  IAS  7  and  IFRS  7  –  Supplier  Finance 

Arrangements”, issued in May 2023. 
The amendments clarify the characteristics of supplier 
finance  arrangements  and  require  additional  disclo-
sures concerning these agreements in order to assist 
users of the financial statements in understanding their 
related impacts on an entity’s liabilities, cash flows and 
exposure to liquidity risk.
The IASB granted a transitional exemption by requiring 
neither comparative information in the first year of ap-

(79)  In 2020 an amendment was issued to postpone the date of entry into force from January 1, 2023 to January 1, 2024.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

plication  nor  disclosure  of  specific  opening  balances. 
Furthermore,  the  information  requested  is  applicable 
only for the first year of application. Accordingly, con-
sidering that the amendments will take effect, subject 
to  endorsement,  for  annual  reporting  periods  begin-

ning  on  or  after  January  1,  2024,  the  new  disclosures 
must  be  provided  no  earlier  than  the  annual  financial 
report at December 31, 2024.

The Group is assessing the potential impact of the future 
application of the new provisions.

60. Events after the reporting period

Finalized the agreement to sell a geothermal and solar 
portfolio in the United States to Ormat 
On  January  4,  2024,  Enel  SpA,  acting  through  its  whol-
ly-owned subsidiary Enel Green Power North America Inc. 
(EGPNA),  closed  an  agreement  with  Ormat  Technologies 
Inc. on the sale of a renewable asset portfolio in the United 
States for a total of $271 million, equivalent to €250 mil-
lion, subject to customary transactional adjustments. The 
assets sold include EGPNA’s entire geothermal portfolio as 
well as a number of small solar plants, with a total capacity 
of about 150 MW of operating plants.
The  overall  transaction,  which  was  closed  following  the 
fulfillment of a number of conditions, had a positive effect 
on the Enel Group´s consolidated net debt of about €250 
million,  and  a  negative  impact  of  around  €30  million  on 
Group profit, which had already been recognized in 2023 
as impairment losses in compliance with IFRS 5.

Enel issues a dual-tranche €1.75 billion sustainability-
linked bond in the Eurobond market
On  January  16,  2024,  Enel  Finance  International  NV,  a  fi-
nance  company  controlled  by  Enel  SpA,  issued  a  du-
al-tranche  sustainability-linked  bond  for 
institutional 
investors  in  the  Eurobond  market  in  the  total  amount  of 
€1.75 billion.
The new issue envisages the use of two sustainability Key 
Performance Indicators for each tranche, illustrated in the 
Sustainability-Linked  Financing  Framework,  last  updated 
in January 2024.
The issue is structured in the following two tranches:
•  €750 million at a fixed rate of 3.375%, with settlement 
date set on January 23, 2024, maturing July 23, 2028;
•  €1,000  million  at  a  fixed  rate  of  3.875%,  with  settle-
ment  date  set  on  January  23,  2024,  maturing  January 
23, 2035.

Enel issues a new €900 million perpetual hybrid bond 
with coupon at 4.75%
On February 20, 2024, Enel SpA issued a non-convertible, 
subordinated  perpetual  hybrid  bond  for  institutional  in-
vestors  on  the  European  market,  denominated  in  euros, 
with an aggregate principal amount of €900 million.
The  transaction  refinanced  the  €900  million  equity-ac-
counted perpetual hybrid bond with first call date in Feb-
ruary 2025 and a 3.5% coupon.
The  bond  has  no  fixed  maturity,  and  is  due  and  payable 

only  in  the  event  of  the  winding  up  or  liquidation  of  the 
Company.  An  annual  fixed  coupon  of  4.75%  will  be  paid 
until  (but  excluding)  the  first  reset  date  of  May  27,  2029, 
which is the last day for the first optional redemption.

Partnership with Sosteneo to develop battery and open-
cycle plant projects in Italy
On March 1, 2024, Enel SpA, acting through its subsidiary 
Enel Italia SpA, signed an agreement with Sosteneo Fund 
1 HoldCo Sàrl, for the acquisition by the latter of 49% of 
the share capital of Enel Libra Flexsys Srl, a company whol-
ly-owned by Enel Italia and established for the implemen-
tation and operation of a portfolio of Battery Energy Stor-
age Systems (BESS) and open-cycle gas turbines (OCGT).
The agreement provides for payment by Sosteneo HoldCo 
of approximately €1.1 billion. The price is also subject to an 
adjustment mechanism customary for this type of trans-
action. The enterprise value on a 100% basis of Enel Libra 
Flexsys  recognized  in  the  agreement  is  equal  to  around 
€2.5  billion  once  the  investment  cycle  foreseen  by  the 
project is completed.
The  transaction  is  expected  to  generate  upon  closing  a 
positive  impact  of  about  €1.1  billion  on  the  Enel  Group’s 
consolidated net debt, while it is set to bear no impact on 
the Group’s performance, as Enel will continue to maintain 
control  and  fully  consolidate  Enel  Libra  Flexsys  upon  the 
closing of the transaction.

Agreement with A2A on electricity distribution 
operations in a number of municipalities in Lombardy
On March 9, 2024, the Enel subsidiary e-distribuzione SpA 
signed an agreement with A2A SpA for the sale to the lat-
ter of 90% of the capital of a newly incorporated vehicle 
to which electricity distribution operations in a number of 
municipalities of the provinces of Milan and Brescia will be 
transferred.
The agreement provides for A2A to pay about €1.2 billion, 
based on an enterprise value (for 100% of the company) of 
around €1.35 billion. The price, which will be paid at clos-
ing, is subject to an adjustment mechanism customary for 
these kinds of transactions.
Upon  completion  of  the  transaction,  e-distribuzione  will 
retain a 10% stake in NewCo’s capital to support the start-
up phase of the company, and which will be subject to a 
put and call option mechanism that can be triggered start-
ing from the first year from completion of the transaction. 

450 Integrated Annual Report 2023

Furthermore,  specific  agreements  between  the  parties 
provide for e-distribuzione to guarantee supporting activ-
ities to ensure continuity of service.
The  transaction  is  expected  to  generate  a  positive  ef-
fect on the Enel Group’s consolidated net debt in 2024 of 
about €1.2 billion and a positive impact on Group reported 
profit for 2024 of about €1 billion. If, before the closing of 
the transaction, a precise specification of further activities 
that e-distribuzione may carry out for NewCo is reached 
and  such  activities  are  reflected  in  specific  agreements, 
thereby forming an industrial Stewardship relationship, the 
aforementioned performance effects could also be recog-
nized on the Group’s ordinary results.
The closing of the transaction, which is expected to occur 
by December 31, 2024, is subject to a number of condi-
tions,  including  receipt  of  antitrust  clearance,  the  suc-

cessful completion of the golden power procedure by the 
Presidency of Italy’s Council of Ministers and receipt of au-
thorization  to  transfer  the  electricity  distribution  service 
concessions to NewCo.

OF ENEL SpA CALLED TO APPROVE THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR 2023  

(pursuant to Article 153 of Legislative Decree 58/1998) 

Shareholders, 

The  current  Board  of  Statutory  Auditors  of  Enel  SpA  (hereinafter  also  “Enel”  or  the 

“Company”) was appointed by the Shareholders’ Meeting of May 19, 2022.  

During  the  year  ended  December  31,  2023  we  performed  the  oversight  activities 

envisaged by law. In particular, pursuant to the provisions of Article 149, paragraph 1, 

of  Legislative  Decree  58  of  February  24,  1998  (hereinafter  the  “Consolidated  Law  on 

Financial Intermediation”) and Article 19, paragraph 1 of Legislative Decree 39 of January 

27, 2010 (hereinafter “Decree 39/2010”), we monitored:  

-  compliance  with  the  law  and  the  corporate  bylaws  as  well  as  compliance  with  the 
principles of sound administration in the performance of the Company’s business; 

- 

- 

- 
- 

- 

- 

the Company’s financial reporting process and the adequacy of the administrative and 

accounting system, as well as the reliability of the latter in representing operational 

events; 

the  statutory  audit  of  the  annual  statutory  and  consolidated  accounts  and  the 

independence of the audit firm; 

the adequacy and effectiveness of the internal control and risk management system; 

the adequacy of the organizational structure of the Company, within the scope of our 

responsibilities; 

the  implementation  of  the  corporate  governance  rules  as  provided  for  by  the  2020 

edition  of  the  Italian  Corporate  Governance  Code  (hereinafter,  the  “Corporate 

Governance Code”), which the Company has adopted; 

the appropriateness of  the instructions given by the Company to its subsidiaries to 

enable Enel to meet statutory public disclosure requirements. 

In performing our checks and assessments of the above issues, we did not find any issues 

that would merit reporting here. 

In  compliance  with  the  instructions  issued  by  CONSOB  with  Communication  no. 

DEM/1025564 of April 6, 2001, as amended, we report the following: 

•  we  monitored  compliance  with  the  law  and  the  bylaws  and  we  have  no  issues  to 

report;

•  on  a  quarterly  basis,  we  received  adequate  information  from  the  Chief  Executive 

Officer, as well as through our participation in the meetings of the Board of Directors 

of Enel, on activities performed, general developments in operations and the outlook, 

and on transactions with the most significant impact on performance or the financial 

position carried out by the Company and its subsidiaries. The actions approved and 

implemented appeared to be in compliance with the law and the bylaws and were not 

manifestly  imprudent,  risky,  in  potential  conflict  of  interest  or  in  contrast  with  the 

resolutions  of  the  Shareholders’  Meeting  or  otherwise  prejudicial  to  the  integrity  of 

the  Company’s  assets.  For  a  discussion  of  the  features  of  the  most  significant 

transactions, please see the report on operations accompanying the separate financial 

statements  of  the  Company  and  the  consolidated  financial  statements  of  the  Enel 

Group for 2023 (in the section “Significant events in 2023”); 

•  we  did  not  find  any  atypical  or  unusual  transactions  conducted  with  third  parties, 

Group companies or other related parties; 

• 

in the section “Related parties” of the notes to the separate financial statements for 

2023  of  the  Company,  the  directors  describe  the  main  transactions  with  related-

parties – the latter being identified on the basis of international accounting standards 

and the instructions of CONSOB – carried out by the Company, to which readers may 

refer  for  details  on  the  transactions  and  their  financial  impact.  They  also  detail  the 

procedures  adopted  to  ensure  that  related-party  transactions  are  carried  out  in 

accordance  with  the  principles  of  transparency  and  procedural  and  substantive 

fairness. On the basis of our oversight activities, we found that the transactions were 

carried  out in  compliance with the approval and execution processes  set  out in the 

related procedure – adopted in compliance with the provisions of Article 2391-bis of 

the Italian Civil Code and the implementing regulations issued by CONSOB – described 

in  the  report  on  corporate  governance  and  ownership  structure  for  2023.  All 

transactions  with  related  parties  reported  in  the  notes  to  the  separate  financial 

statements for 2023 of the Company were executed as part of ordinary operations in 

the interest of the Company and settled on market terms and conditions;  

• 

the Company declares that it has prepared its separate financial statements for 2023 

on  the  basis  of  international  accounting  standards  (IAS/IFRS)  –  and  the 

interpretations issued by the IFRIC and the SIC  – endorsed by the European Union 

pursuant  to  Regulation  (EC)  no.  1606/2002  and  in  force  at  the  close  of  2023 

(hereinafter also the “IFRS-EU”), as well as the provisions of Legislative Decree 38 of 

February 28, 2005 and its related implementing measures, as it did the previous year.

Group  are  also  prepared  on  a  going-concern  basis.  The  notes  to  the  consolidated 

financial  statements  provide  a  detailed  discussion  of  the  accounting  standards  and 

measurement criteria adopted, accompanied by an indication of standards applied for 

the first time in 2023, which did not have a significant impact in the year under review. 

Note  also  that,  starting  from  2021,  in  compliance  with  the  provisions  of  Delegated

pursuant  to  Article  154-bis,  paragraph  5,  of  the  Consolidated  Law  on  Financial

the consolidated financial statements for 2023 of the Enel Group underwent statutory 

audit by the audit firm KPMG SpA, which issued an unqualified opinion, including with 

regard to the consistency of the consistency of the report on operations and certain 

information in the report on corporate governance and ownership structure with the 

consolidated financial statements, as well as compliance with the provisions of law, 

pursuant  to  Article  14  of  Decree  39/2010  and  Article  10  of  Regulation  (EU)  no. 

537/2014. The report of KPMG SpA also includes: 

-  a  discussion  of  key  aspects  of  the  audit  report  on  the  consolidated  financial 

statements; and 

- 

the declaration provided pursuant to Article 14, paragraph 2(e) of Decree 39/2010 

and Article 4 of CONSOB Regulation no. 20267 (implementing Legislative Decree 

254 of December 30, 2016) concerning, respectively, a statement that the audit 

firm  did  not  identify  any  significant  errors  in  the  contents  of  the  report  on 

operations  and  that  it  verified  that  the  Board  of  Directors  had  approved  the 

consolidated non-financial statement. 

Under the terms of its engagement, KPMG SpA also issued unqualified opinions on the 

financial  statements  for  2023  of  the  most  significant  Italian  companies  of  the  Enel 

Group. Moreover, during periodic meetings with the representatives of the audit firm, 

KPMG SpA, the latter did not raise any issues concerning the reporting packages of 

the main foreign companies of the Enel Group, selected by the auditors on the basis 

of the work plan established for the auditing of the consolidated financial statements 

of the Enel Group, that would have a sufficiently material impact to be reported in the 

opinion on those financial statements; 

• 

taking due account of the recommendations of the European Securities and Markets 

Authority issued on January 21, 2013, and most recently supplemented with the Public 

Statement of October 25, 2023, to ensure appropriate transparency concerning the 

methods used by listed companies in testing goodwill for impairment, in line with the 

recommendations contained in the joint Bank of Italy – CONSOB – ISVAP document 

no. 4 of March 3, 2010, and in the light of indications of CONSOB in its Communication 

no. 7780 of January 28, 2016, the compliance of the impairment testing procedure 

with the provisions of IAS 36 was expressly approved by the Board of Directors of the 

Company,  having  obtained  a  favorable  opinion  in  this  regard  from  the  Control  and 

Risk Committee in February 2024, i.e. prior to the date of approval of the financial 

statements for 2023;

•  we examined the Board of Directors’ proposal for the allocation of net profit for 2023 

and the distribution of available reserves and have no comments in this regard; 

•  we note that the Board of Directors of the Company certified, following appropriate 

checks  by  the  Control  and  Risk  Committee  and  the  Board  of  Statutory  Auditors  in 

March  2024,  that  as  at  the  date  on  which  the  2023  financial  statements  were 

approved, the Enel Group continued to meet the conditions established by  CONSOB 

(set  out  in  Article  15  of  the  Market  Rules,  approved  with  Resolution  no.  20249  of 

December  28,  2017)  concerning  the  accounting  transparency  and  adequacy  of  the 

organizational  structures  and  internal  control  systems  that  subsidiaries  established 

and regulated under the law of non-EU countries must comply with so that Enel shares 

can continue to be listed on regulated markets in Italy;  

•  we  monitored,  pursuant  to  the  aforementioned  Article  15  of  the  Market  Rules,  the 

capacity  of  the  administrative-accounting  systems  of  the  subsidiaries  referred  to  in 

the previous bullet point to regularly send management and the audit firm KPMG SpA 

the performance and financial data necessary for the preparation of the consolidated 

financial statements of the Enel Group, finding no adverse issues; 

•  we  monitored,  within  the  scope  of  our  responsibilities,  the  adequacy  of  the 

organizational structure of the Company (and the Enel Group as a whole), obtaining 

information from the competent department heads and in meetings with the boards 

of  auditors  or  equivalent  bodies  of  a  number  of  the  main  Enel  Group  companies  in 

Italy and abroad, for the purpose of the reciprocal exchange of material information. 

Taking account of the changes in its organizational arrangements, implemented most 

recently in 2023 and the early months of 2024, the Enel Group, consistent with the 

vision  of  the  newly  appointed  top  management,  has  adopted  a  matrix-based 

organizational structure, structured into: 

(i) 

four global Divisions, which are charged with developing, building, operating 

and  maintaining  assets,  conducting  trading  activities  and  developing  and 

managing  the  portfolio  of  products  and  services  in  the  various  geographical 

areas in which the Group operates. The four global Divisions are divided into: 

Enel  Green  Power  and  Thermal  Generation,  Global  Energy  and  Commodity 

Management  &  Chief  Pricing  Officer,  Enel  Grids  and  Innovability  and  Enel  X 

Global Retail; 

(ii) 

two Countries (Italy and Iberia) and a Region (Rest of the World), which, in 

each geographical area in which the Group operates, is charged with:

managing  relationships  with  institutions,  regulators,  media  and  other

(iii) 

a  global  service  function  (Global  Services),  which  is  charged  with  the  (i) 

integrated management of all Group activities connected with the development 

and  governance  of  digital  solutions,  purchasing  and  strategy,  customer

in  defining  and  directing  the  Group’s  strategic  decisions  and  defining  the 

medium-long  term  strategic  positioning  for  the  entire  Group,  developing 

strategic scenarios that also consider the effects of climate change. 

We found no issues concerning the adequacy of the organizational system described 

above in supporting the strategic development of the Company and the Enel Group or 

the consistency of that system with control requirements;

provisions of Article 6, paragraph 2(a), of Regulation (EU) 537/2014) and paragraph 

17  of  international  standard  on  auditing  (ISA  Italia)  260  and  having  discussed  the 

substance of that declaration with the audit partner. In this regard, we also monitored 

– as provided for under Article 19, paragraph 1(e), of Decree 39/2010 – the nature 

and the scale of non-audit services provided to the Company and other Enel Group 

companies by KPMG SpA and the entities belonging to its network. The fees due to 

KPMG SpA and the entities belonging to its network are reported in the notes to the 

separate financial statements of the Company. Following our examinations, the Board 

of Statutory Auditors found no critical issues concerning the independence of KPMG 

SpA.  

We  held  periodic  meetings  with  the  representatives  of  the  audit  firm,  pursuant  to 

Article 150, paragraph 3, of the Consolidated Law on Financial Intermediation, and no 

material issues emerged that would require mention in this report.  

With specific regard to the provisions of Article 11 of Regulation (EU) 537/2014, KPMG 

SpA today provided the Board of Statutory Auditors with the “additional report” for 

2023 on the results of the statutory audit carried out, which indicates no significant 

difficulties encountered during the audit or any significant shortcomings in the internal 

control system for financial reporting or the Enel accounting system that would raise 

issues  requiring  mention  in  the  opinion  on  the  separate  and  consolidated  financial 

statements. The Board of Statutory Auditors will transmit that report to the Board of 

Directors promptly, accompanied by any comments it may have, in accordance with 

Article 19, paragraph 1(a), of Decree 39/2010. 

As at the date of this report, the audit firm also reported that it did not prepare any 

management letter for 2023; 

•  we  monitored  the 

financial  reporting  process,  the  appropriateness  of  the 

administrative  and  accounting  system  and  its  reliability  in  representing  operational 

events,  as  well  as  compliance  with  the  principles  of  sound  administration  in  the 

performance of the  Company’s business and  we have no comments  in that regard. 

We  conducted  our  checks  by  obtaining  information  from  the  head  of  the 

Administration,  Finance  and  Control  department  (taking  due  account  of  the  head’s 

role as the officer responsible for the preparation of the Company’s financial reports), 

examining Company documentation and analyzing the findings of the  examinations 

performed by KPMG SpA. The Chief Executive Officer and the officer responsible for 

the  preparation  of  the  financial  reports  of  Enel  issued  a  statement  (regarding  the 

Company’s 2023 separate financial statements) certifying (i) the appropriateness with

respect  to  the  characteristics  of  the  Company  and  the  effective  adoption  of  the

statements;  (ii)  the  compliance  of  the  content  of  the  financial  reports  with 

international  accounting  standards  endorsed  by  the  European  Union  pursuant  to 

Regulation (EC) no. 1606/2002; (iii) the correspondence of the financial statements 

with  the  information  in  the  books  and  other  accounting  records  and  their  ability  to

Company;  and  (iv)  that  the  report  on  operations  accompanying  the  financial 

statements contains a reliable analysis of operations and performance, as well as the 

situation of the issuer, together with a description of the main risks and uncertainties 

to which it is exposed. The statement also affirmed that the appropriateness of the 

administrative  and  accounting  procedures  used  in  the  preparation  of  the  separate 

financial  statements  of  the  Company  had  been  verified  in  an  assessment  of  the 

internal  control  system  for  financial  reporting  (supported  by  the  findings  of  the 

independent  testing  performed  by  a  qualified  external  advisor)  and  that  the 

assessment  of  the  internal  control  system  did  not  identify  any  material  issues.  An 

analogous statement was prepared for the consolidated financial statements for 2023 

of the Enel Group; 

•  we monitored the adequacy and effectiveness of the internal control system, primarily 

through systematic participation of the head of the Audit department of the Company 

in  the  meetings  of  the  Board  of  Statutory  Auditors  and  holding  about  half  of  the 

meetings  jointly  with  the  Control  and  Risk  Committee,  as  well  as  through  periodic 

meetings with the body charged with overseeing the operation of and compliance with 

the  organizational  and  management  model  adopted  by  the  Company  pursuant  to 

Legislative Decree 231/2001. In the light of our examination and in the absence of 

significant issues, there are no reasons to doubt the adequacy and effectiveness of 

the  internal  control  and  risk  management  system.  In  February  2024,  the  Board  of 

Directors of the Company expressed an analogous assessment  of the  situation and 

also  noted,  in  November  2023,  that  the  main  risks  associated  with  the  strategic 

targets set out in the 2024-2026 Business Plan were compatible with the management 

of the Company in a manner consistent with those targets;

•  we  monitored  the  effective  implementation  of  the  Corporate  Governance  Code, 

verifying  the  compliance  of  Enel’s  corporate  governance  arrangements  with  the 

recommendations  of  the  Code.  Detailed  information  on  the  Company’s  corporate 

governance system can be found in the report on corporate governance and ownership 

structure for 2023.  

In June 2023, the Board of Statutory Auditors verified that the Board of Directors – 

following its election by the Shareholders’ Meeting of May 10, 2023 - in evaluating the 

independence  of  non-executive  directors,  correctly  applied  the  assessment  criteria 

specified  in  the  Corporate  Governance  Code  and  the  principle  of  the  priority  of 

substance over form that must inform the application of the Code’s recommendations 

in general, adopting a transparent procedure, the details of which are discussed in the 

report on corporate governance and ownership structure for 2023. 

With regard to the so-called “self-assessment” of the independence of its members, 

the Board of Statutory Auditors, in March 2023 ascertained that all standing statutory 

auditors met the relevant requirements set out in the Consolidated Law on Financial 

Intermediation and in the Corporate Governance Code. 

• 

in  the  final  part  of  2023  and  during  the  first  two  months  of  2024,  the  Board  of 

Statutory  Auditors,  with  the  support  of  an  independent  advisory  firm,  conducted  a 

board review assessing the size, composition and functioning of the Board of Statutory 

Auditors, as has been done since 2018, similar to the review conducted for the Board 

of Directors since 2004. This is a best practice that the Board of Statutory Auditors 

intended to adopt even in the absence of a specific recommendation of the Corporate 

Governance Code, a “peer-to-peer review” approach, i.e. the assessment not only of 

the  functioning  of  the  body  as  a  whole,  but  also  of  the  style  and  content  of  the 

contribution provided by each of the auditors.  The approach adopted in performing 

the board review for 2023 and the findings of that review are described in detail in 

the report on corporate governance and ownership structure for 2023. 

• 

during  2023,  the  Board  of  Statutory  Auditors  also  participated  in  an  induction 

program, characterized by specific studies to update directors and statutory auditors 

on the corporate governance of the Company and the Enel Group, the structure and 

operation  of  the  electrical  system  in  general  and  the  activities  of  the  four  global 

Divisions (Enel Green Power and Thermal Generation, Enel Grids, Global Energy and 

Commodity Management & Chief Pricing Officer, Enel X Global Retail) and the “People 

and Organization” Holding Company Function;

Remuneration Policy for 2024 and Remuneration Paid in 2023  referred to in Article 

123-ter of the Consolidated Law on Financial Intermediation (for the sake of brevity, 

“Remuneration Report” hereinafter), approved by the Board of Directors, acting on a 

proposal of the Nomination and Compensation Committee on April 11, 2024, which 

will be published in compliance with the time limits established by law. The design of 

these remuneration instruments is in line with best practices as it complies with the 

principle  of  establishing  a  link  with  appropriate  financial  and  non-financial 

performance targets and pursuing the creation of shareholder value over the medium 

and  long  term.  The  proposals  to  the  Board  of  Directors  concerning  such  forms  of 

compensation and the determination of the associated parameters were prepared by 

the  Nomination  and  Compensation  Committee,  which  is  made  up  entirely  of 

independent directors, drawing on the findings of benchmark analyses, including at 

the international level, conducted by an independent consulting firm (the “advisor”). 

In addition, the second section of the Remuneration Report contains, in compliance 

with  the  applicable  CONSOB  regulations,  specific  disclosures  on  the  remuneration 

received  in  2023  by  the  members  of  the  oversight  body  and  by  key  management 

personnel (in aggregate form for the latter). 

The  Board  of  Statutory  Auditors  also  supervised  the  process  of  preparing  the 

remuneration  policy  for  2024  –  described  in  full  in  the  first  section  of  the 

Remuneration  Report,  without  finding  any  critical  issues.  In  particular,  oversight 

activity examined the consistency of the various measures envisaged by that policy 

with (i) the provisions of Directive (EU) 2017/828 as transposed into Italian law, with 

(ii) the recommendations of the Italian Corporate Governance Code, as well as with 

(iii) the results of the benchmark analysis carried out, including at the international 

level,  by  an  independent  consulting  firm  that  the  Nomination  and  Compensation 

Committee elected to engage. 

In addition, during the preparation of the remuneration policy for 2024, the Board of 

Statutory  Auditors  -  taking  account  of  the  recommendations  in  this  regard  by  the 

Corporate Governance Code – asked the independent consulting firm to conduct an 

additional benchmark analysis to ascertain the adequacy of the remuneration paid to 

the members of the oversight body. This analysis was performed by the advisor with 

reference to two benchmarks: 

•  as  a  benchmark  external  to  Enel,  the  remuneration  of  the  boards  of  statutory 

auditors  reported  in  the  documentation  published  on  the  occasion  of  2023

shareholders’  meetings  by  issuers  belonging  to  a  peer  group  composed  of 

companies  belonging  the  FTSE  MIB  index  (1)  with  a  similarly  complex  business 

and similar market size and ownership structure to Enel.  

•  as  a  benchmark  internal  to  Enel,  the  remuneration  paid  to  the  members  of  the 

Board of Directors of Enel (excluding the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer) 

in proportion to the number of meetings held.  

As regards the external benchmark, the advisor first noted that, on the basis of the 

data as at December 31, 2022, Enel lies at the extreme upper bound of the size class 

compared with the peer group, as it significantly exceeds the ninth decile in terms of 

capitalization and turnover and is between the third quartile and ninth decile in terms 

of number of employees. At the same time, the analysis found that, compared with 

the  peer  group,  the  remuneration  of  the  members  of  the  Enel  Board  of  Statutory 

Auditors was instead at the benchmark median for the Chairman and slightly above 

the median for the other standing Auditors. 

As regards the internal benchmark, the advisor conducted a comparison between the 

average  remuneration  per  meeting  paid  to  the  members  of  the  Board  of  Statutory 

Auditors  and  that  paid  to  the  members  of  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the  Company 

(excluding  the  Chairman  and  the  Chief  Executive  Officer),  taking  into  account  all 

meetings  in  which  they  respectively  participate.  This  analysis  found  a  significant 

disparity between the remuneration of the members of the two bodies. The average 

remuneration per meeting of the directors is more than three times greater than that 

of the Chairman of the Board of Statutory Auditors and nearly four times that of the 

other standing members of the Board of Statutory Auditors. 

The Board of Statutory Auditors’ oversight activity in 2023 was carried out in 24 meetings 

and with participation in the 15 meetings of the Board of Directors and participation in 

the  annual  Shareholders’  Meeting,  and,  through  the  chairman  or  one  or  more  of  its 

members, in the 14 meetings of the Control and Risk Committee (held jointly with the

Independent auditors’ report pursuant to article 14 of Legislative 
decree no. 39 of 27 January 2010 and article 10 of Regulation (EU) no. 
537 of 16 April 2014  

To the shareholders of  
Enel S.p.A. 

Report on the audit of the consolidated financial statements  

Opinion 

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of the Enel Group (the “group”), which comprise 
the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2023, the income statement and the statements of 
comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended and notes thereto, 
which include material information on the accounting policies. 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of 
the Enel Group as at 31 December 2023 and of its financial performance and cash flows for the year 
then ended in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards endorsed by the 
European Union and the Italian regulations implementing article 9 of Legislative decree no. 38/05. 

Basis for opinion 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing (ISA Italia). Our 
responsibilities under those standards are further described in the “Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit 
of the consolidated financial statements” section of our report. We are independent of Enel S.p.A. (the 
“parent”) in accordance with the ethics and independence rules and standards applicable in Italy to audits 
of financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate 
to provide a basis for our audit opinion. 

Key audit matters 

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in the 
audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current year. These matters were addressed in the 
context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion 
thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Independent auditors’ report

Recognition of revenue from the supply of electricity and gas not yet invoiced 

Notes to the consolidated financial statements: notes 2.1 “Use of estimates and management judgement 
– Revenue from contracts with customers”, 2.2 “Material accounting policies – Revenue from contracts 
with customers”, 11.a “Revenue from sales and services” and 34 “Trade receivables” 

Key audit matter 

Audit procedures addressing the key audit matter 

Revenue from the supply of electricity and gas to end 
users is recognised at the time the electricity or gas is 
delivered and includes, in addition to amounts invoiced 
on the basis of periodic meter readings or on the 
volumes notified by distributors and transporters, an 
estimate of the electricity and gas delivered during the 
year but not yet invoiced that is calculated also taking 
account of any network losses. Revenue accrued 
between the date of the last meter reading and the 
year-end is based on estimates of the consumption of 
individual customers, primarily determined on their 
historical information, adjusted to reflect the climate 
factors or other matters that may affect the estimated 
consumption.  
These estimates are very complex given the nature of 
underlying assumptions. 
Therefore, we believe that the recognition of revenue 
from the supply of electricity and gas not yet invoiced is 
a key audit matter. 

Our audit procedures included: 
• 

understanding the process for the recognition of 
revenue from the supply of electricity and gas not 
yet invoiced; 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

assessing the design, implementation and 
operating effectiveness of controls, including IT 
controls, deemed material for the purposes of our 
audit, including by involving our IT specialists; 

performing substantive procedures on the 
electricity and gas volumes considered in the 
estimation; 

checking the accuracy of the selling prices used in 
the estimation; 

comparing the estimates recognised in the 
consolidated financial statements with the 
subsequent actual figures; 

assessing the appropriateness of the disclosures 
provided in the notes about the revenue from the 
supply of electricity and gas not yet invoiced. 

Responsibilities of the parent’s directors and board of statutory auditors (“Collegio 
Sindacale”) for the consolidated financial statements  

The directors are responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements that give a true and 
fair view in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards endorsed by the European 
Union and the Italian regulations implementing article 9 of Legislative decree no. 38/05 and, within the 
terms established by the Italian law, for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable 
the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or 
error. 

The directors are responsible for assessing the group’s ability to continue as a going concern and for the 
appropriate use of the going concern basis in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements 
and for the adequacy of the related disclosures. The use of this basis of accounting is appropriate unless 
the directors believe that the conditions for liquidating the parent or ceasing operations exist, or have no 
realistic alternative but to do so. 

The Collegio Sindacale is responsible for overseeing, within the terms established by the Italian law, the 
group’s financial reporting process. 

Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements 
as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ 
report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a 

2 

470 Integrated Annual Report 2023

 
 
 
 
Enel Group 
Independent auditors’ report 
31 December 2023 

guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISA Italia will always detect a material 
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, 
individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions 
of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements. 

As part of an audit in accordance with ISA Italia, we exercise professional judgement and maintain 
professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: 

• 

identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, 
whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and 
obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of 
not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, 
as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of 
internal control; 

•  obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures 
that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the 
effectiveness of the group’s internal control;  

•  evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting 

estimates and related disclosures made by the directors; 

•  conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, 
based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or 
conditions that may cast significant doubt on the group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we 
conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to 
the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are 
inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to 
the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the group to cease 
to continue as a going concern; 

•  evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, 

including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying 
transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation; 

•  obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or 

business activities within the group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. 
We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain 
solely responsible for our audit opinion. 

We communicate with those charged with governance, identified at the appropriate level required by ISA 
Italia, regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit 
findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. 

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with the ethics 
and independence rules and standards applicable in Italy and communicate with them all relationships 
and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, 
the measures taken to eliminate those threats or the safeguards applied. 

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that 
were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current year and are, 
therefore, the key audit matters. We describe these matters in this report.

Other information required by article 10 of Regulation (EU) no. 537/14
