3SUN Gigafactory: the future of energy takes shape in Catania

Our 3SUN photovoltaic module factory in Catania, which was established in 2010 and has been experiencing continuous growth, is on the path to becoming a genuine Gigafactory. By July 2024, the factory's annual production capacity will increase by 15 times, from the current 200 MW to 3 GW. This transformation will position 3SUN as the largest photovoltaic panel factory in Europe.

Projects

Back to School: Enel’s first global initiative with a STEM and empowerment focus

In 2022, the Group launched the global initiative “Back to School”, which involved a remarkable 12 countries (Spain, Italy, Greece, South Africa, India and then Columbia, Chile, Peru, Brazil, Argentina, Romania, USA and Canada) and more than 4,000 students, out of which almost 76% of them girls.

ENERGIE PER LA SCUOLA: a bridge between companies and training for the energy transition

At the start of 2022, the "Energie per la Scuola" program was launched specifically for students in their final year of technical or vocational school. The program's objective is to guide these students towards employment opportunities provided by Enel contractors upon their graduation.

Wind Turbine Technician Partnership with Lethbridge College, CDN

Since 2020, in Alberta, where we operate four wind farms, we have been pursuing a multi-year partnership with Lethbridge College to support a program to train wind turbine technicians (WTTs) and empower the students of the Piikani Nation.

Projects

Roboost Project – Robotic washing of solar panels

Our solar plants are frequently installed in arid regions, capitalizing on their abundant sun exposure. While the water consumption for panel cleaning is relatively low compared to thermal generation, it is crucial to continually strive for further reduction, considering the particular context of water scarcity in these regions.

Huinay – POETA Program – an example of a partnership for researching the impacts of climate on nature

In 2021, Fondazione Centro Studi Enel signed a partnership agreement with the Fondación San Ignacio del Huinay with the aim of developing joint projects involving research, analysis and scientific studies.

Projects

Innovation of the power grid to mitigate the environmental impact and improve its resilience

Enel’s Net-Zero strategy for the power grid sector is focused on reducing CO2 emissions from activities, minimizing grid losses, and adopting circular, low-emission materials and components. In fact, a notable area of innovation within Enel Grids is Sustainable Design and Resilience, which aims to mitigate environmental impact and improve grid resilience through new technologies and sustainable materials, rethinking both systems and components.

“Wind New Life”

The project aims to establish two plants in Italy and Spain to develop a circular value chain for managing the end-of-life of wind turbine blades.

PLATFORMS: rapid and effective response to continuous change

Digital platforms are one of the pillars of Enel’s strategy, and together with ecosystems, they serve as tools for maximum information sharing and mutual trust. Embracing a platform-oriented approach enables us to create a competitive advantage, as digital platforms facilitate the emergence of new operational and business models, such as the sharing economy.
