Its main office is in Rome.

History

Enel X progressively expanded its services by acquiring companies specialized in strategic sectors for the digitization of energy services,[3] and by creating partnerships with companies from other industries such as automotive,[4] home automation,[5] ITC, and real estate.[6] Its activity in the field of the electric mobility[3] led to a progressive installation of charging points throughout Italy. This was accomplished with a national plan aimed at the installation of charging infrastructures for electric vehicles, announced for the first time on 9 November 2017 during the e-Mobility Revolution event in Vallelunga[4] by Enel CEO Francesco Starace[5] and Enel X CEO Francesco Venturini.[6] In July 2018, Enel X acquired 21% of Ufinet International, a platform which operates in the ultra-broadband sector in America Latina.[7][8] In the same period, the Enel’s subsidiary acquired Yousave, thus expanding its business in the energy efficiency field, with a special focus on energy digitization.[9] In October 2018, Enel X announced that its subsidiary EnerNOC, Inc. rebranded to Enel X, integrating Enel’s advanced energy solutions in North America under one brand.[10] This is one of its acquisitions made in the USA, as well as those of Demand Energy (DEN) and eMotorWerks. On 20 December 2018, Enel X and Infracapital signed a deal to launch a platform dedicated to energy efficiency projects for business customers.[11] In September 2018, during the e-Mobility Revolution 2.0 event at the Vallelunga Circuit, a new range of "Juice" products was announced, as well as progresses in the installation plan of new charging points in Italy.[12] In January 2019, Enel X became Poland’s 2021 - 2023 demand response leader, with around a 70% share in that segment.[13][14] In order to develop new activities related to electric mobility, Enel X and FCA signed a partnership agreement in June 2019 to promote the uptake of electric vehicles.[15][16] Thus the Enel X’s partnership with Hyundai in October 2019, which comprises the possibility of recharging electric vehicles at Enel X public recharging infrastructures,[17][18] as well as those with many other car manufacturers such as Audi,[19] PSA[20] and Smart.[21] In January 2020, Enel X presented JuiceAbility, a device to charge electric wheelchairs using car charging infrastructures, together with JuiceBox, JuicePump and JuiceLamp mini. These devices were presented during the Consumer Electronics Show - CES in Las Vegas, in January 2020.[22][23]

Activities

Enel X is structured in four Global Product Lines operating in different reference sectors:

  • e-Industries,[24] offering solutions aimed at businesses, mainly focusing on flexible services, such as consulting, energy efficiency technologies, distributed generation, Demand Response, and off-grid solutions;
  • e-Mobility,[25][26] aimed at creating products and services for electrical mobility, as well as at promoting increasingly efficient charging infrastructures, Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) and second-life battery services;
  • e-Home, with the aim of managing the domestic eco-system and offering innovative automation products and services, for smarter, safer, more efficient and comfortable homes;
  • e-City,[27] offering local government integrated services (public lighting, smart city systems and energy efficiency services, as well as connectivity solutions such as the wholesale offer of fiber-optic services).

Financial Services, which offers financial, insurance and payment services through physical and digital channels. The proposed initiatives include Enel X Pay, which allows people to manage their finances in a conscious and aggregate way.

At the same time, Enel X created as well an "Innovation & Product Lab",[28] to develop and test new scalable products and services – often incorporating input of startups, research centers, universities and customers – with a circular economy approach. Solutions and services for flexibility, like Demand Response, digital payment, adaptive public lighting systems and City Analytics[29] are a direct result.

Among the various ongoing projects and activities, "Vivi Meglio" [30][31] started in 2019 and Homix[32], which integrates Alexa [33] and allows a development of the concept of intelligent thermostat.

Awards

In 2017, Enel X won Corporate Art Award 2017 "for its ability to promote historical heritage and urban projects through artistic lighting".[34] In 2018, it took the third place on the podium on the charging services Leaderboard drawn up by Navigant Research.[35] In 2019, Enel X’s circular economy model took centre stage at EXCO 2019, an event which focused on international cooperation.[36] In 2020 Enel X was ranked 2nd globally in two reports from Guidehouse Insights (“Leaderboard: EV Charging Hardware Suppliers” and “Leaderboard: Commercial and Industrial Energy Storage Systems Integrators”), which included Enel X among the best companies in the EV charging and energy storage[37][38].
