ENEL AMERICAS SA Fossil Fuel Power Generation
Enel is Europe’s largest electric utilities company by market capitalisation and holds a 70.1% stake in the energy company, Endesa. Evidence shows that energy generated from fossil fuels accounts for 15% of the company’s revenues. However, the company have announced plans to abandon coal by 2027 and gas by 2040, while investing significantly in expanding their renewable energy capacity. By 2030, the company expects to have invested a total of EUR €70 billion in renewable energy. Therefore, the company is considered to be on a climate change pathway aligned with 1.5°C of global temperature rise.
