Francesco Starace, Enel Group CEO
Italian energy giant Enel, owner of U.S.-based microgrid and distributed energy company Demand Energy, has launched a new business line to develop customer-centric, innovative products and both non-commodity and digital solutions.
Called E-Solutions, the new unit will be headed by Francesco Venturini, who has run Enel Green Power for three years. It will operate globally in all markets where Enel already has a presence and may move into new geographies.
E-Solutions will focus on distributed generation, electric mobility, vehicle to grid projects, recharging infrastructure, energy efficiency management, batteries and energy optimization platforms and public lighting.
“Evolutions in technology present new possibilities, offering value to those who do not fear them,” said Enel Group CEO Francesco Starace.
Enel has been working for three years on a new strategic vision, he said, which calls upon the company “to open energy to new uses, new ways of managing energy for people, and new technologies, amongst many other things.”
“This is the basis upon which we are moving forward with the execution of our new strategic plan, and in particular in helping to deliver against our two key value drivers, customer focus and digitization,” he said. “The launch of the E-Solutions global business line therefore represents an important, strategic step forward for Enel.”
