• Enel closed the sale of its entire stake in PJSC Enel Russia to PJSC Lukoil and the private fund Gazprombank-Frezia for a total consideration of about 137 million euros
• The transaction completes the disposal of power generation assets in Russia, which Enel started in 2019 with an initial sale of coal-fired assets

Rome, October 12^th, 2022 - Enel S.p.A. (“Enel”) announces that, following the press release of June 16^th, 2022, today it finalized the sale of its entire stake in PJSC Enel Russia, equal to 56.43% of the latter’s share capital, to PJSC Lukoil and the Closed Combined Mutual Investment Fund  “Gazprombank-Frezia”, for a total consideration of about 137 million euros, following the fulfillment of all the conditions precedent set out in the two separate contracts entered into with them, including approval of the transaction by the President of the Russian Federation in accordance with paragraph 5 of Decree no. 520 of  August 5^th, 2022.  

As result of the transaction, Enel has disposed of all its Russian power generation assets, which included approximately 5.6 GW of conventional capacity and around 300 MW of wind capacity at different stages of development. The transaction is consistent with the Group’s strategic aim to focus its activities mainly in countries where an integrated position along the value chain can drive growth and enhance value creation from the opportunities offered by the energy transition.

The overall transaction generated a positive effect on the Group’s consolidated net debt of about 610 million euros and a negative impact on reported Group net income of around 1.3 billion euros, mainly reflecting the release of a currency translation reserve of around 1.0 billion euros as of September 30^th, 2022. This accounting effect will not have any impact on ordinary economic results.
