Electricity sold by the Enel Group to end users in 2011 rose by 2.8 TWh or 0.9% to 311.8 TWh compared to 2010. The increase is essentially attributable to the rise in volumes sold abroad (+12.0 TWh), mainly in respect of operations in France (+5.8 TWh), Latin America (+5.4 TWh) and Russia (+1.6 TWh), partially offset by a decline in volumes sold in Italy (-9.2 TWh).
Gas sold to end users amounted to 8.5 billion cubic meters in 2011, down 0.4 billion cubic metres or 4.5% on the previous year. Volumes sold in Italy diminished by 0.9 billion cubic metres, while sales abroad, entirely accounted for by Endesa, rose by 0.5 billion cubic metres.
