Distribution

Thanks to 1,810,950 km of lines on two continents, the Group’s distribution companies transport electricity for more than 59 million end users in Italy, Romania, the Iberian Peninsula, and Latin America.
In 2010, the electricity transported on the Enel Group’s distribution networks amounted to 430.5 TWh, of which 245.9 TWh were produced in Italy and 184.6 TWh were produced abroad.
The quantity of electricity distributed in Italy increased by 4.8 TWh (+2.0%) with respect to the amount recorded in 2009, in line with the demand for electricity on the national grid.
The electricity distributed abroad amounted to 184.6 TWh, with an increase of 32.0 TWh (+21.0%), mainly because of the increase in Endesa’s contribution (+27.1 TWh) and the larger quantity transported by the distribution companies in Romania (+0.6 TWh), which benefitted from the country’s increased demand for electricity.
