To Promote responsible energy consumption, Enel guarantee commercial offers for families, companies and cities, so they provide a guarantee that the energy source is renewable or because they include a small amount of financing for renewable sources. Enel
In this way, Enel boosts the overall efficiency of greater efficiency of production and energy distribution and creating important environmental benefits.
Enel in 2010, for example, introduced in Italy the “All-included Green Energy”, which is based on the concept of “size” (small, medium, large, extra-large), which had already been used by the previous “All-included Energy” offer and was enhanced by the addition of “Zero CO2”.
Moreover, Enel Energia’s product portfolio (Italy) includes offers offset by RECS (Renewable Energy Certificate System) certificates, such as the “Pure Energy” product line and the business offers with optional cancellation of RECS certificates
For this reason, many products, services, and activities, offered by Enel, to raise awareness about energy conservation are addressed to business customers as the industrial system is responsible for the demand for much of the total energy consumed in a country. For this reason In 2010 Enel continued its talks with suppliers, industry associations, and local governments about starting and financing projects dedicated to increasing energy efficiency. In Italy, the Company signed protocols of understanding with the hotel and pension associations.
For its small and medium business customers that do not have an energy manager, in October 2010 Enel Energia launched a dedicated offer called “Screening Energy” that consists in an efficiency report that monitors the customer’s consumption for 12 months. The report contains advice on energy conservation and aims to develop a greater awareness of their consumption in customers.
Even abroad the Group offers important actions in the same direction. In Brazil for example, Endesa provided numerous consultancies for the implementation of programs on energy conservation and efficient lighting, projects for automating electric and thermal plants in order to better control consumption and to monitor the efficiency of electric motors.
In this regard, the Company also develops technologies and services aimed at reducing the energy consumption of cities, for example in the area of street lighting. In February 2009, Enel Sole – the Italian leader in this field – launched Archilede on the market. This is an innovative lighting system based on LED (light-emitting diode) technology, which presents numerous advantages in terms of consumption, the environmental impact of component disposal, the quality of the light emitted, and the degree of dispersion of the upward flow, which is nil and thus also contributes to policies for reducing light pollution.
