Confagricoltura and Enel come together for the energy and ecological transition

The challenge of the energy transition also involves the agricultural sector. To this end, Enel and Confagricoltura have signed a collaboration agreement that will offer a package of solutions tailored to companies in the sector. The agreement follows last year’s protocol that identified priorities and business models on energy, electricity and gas, and energy efficiency for agricultural enterprises.

The agreements, involving Enel X and Enel Energia, provide the possibility for companies to have a dedicated consultancy aimed at seizing opportunities in this field.

In particular, the proposal is structured, using the support of dedicated sales figures from Enel Energia and Enel X, into project studies to assess the economic convenience and feasibility of the sales proposal, dedicated products for electricity and gas commodities, the Circular Economy Report to use an audit to measure the circularity of the company and possible improvement actions for energy efficiency, such as the installation of new photovoltaic systems or the optimization of existing ones, renewable energy communities and charging infrastructure for electric mobility.

An important part of the synergy is also to encourage technological innovation, including photovoltaic panels, while respecting rural areas as a whole, including the landscape.

“With this agreement,” said Carlo Tamburi, Director of Enel Italia, “Enel intends to strengthen the natural alliance between renewable sources, sustainable energy solutions and the agricultural sector. The transition towards a more sustainable development model and the achievement of climate neutrality objectives is not possible without providing opportunities for growth and technological innovation to companies in the agricultural sector, with which we intend to work together, as well as encouraging the harmonious growth of plants and crops in the territory” 

“The fight against climate change and the improvement of sustainability,” explained Massimiliano Giansanti, president of Confagricoltura, “passes through agricultural enterprises. Agriculture can contribute to environmental sustainability, emissions reduction, CO2 absorption and green energy production by focusing on farm innovation. Renewable energies, and photovoltaic technology in particular, have developed significantly in agriculture over the last fifteen years, enabling companies to implement sustainability paths at company level, to actively participate in the decarbonization of the electricity sector and to support the sector’s ecological transition

An initial meeting will be held in September to illustrate the details of the agreement between Enel, Enel X and Confagricoltura, followed by other meetings in the various regions to specifically promote the opportunities offered by the partnership.

Telepass and Enel X: together for ever greener mobility

Telepass, the Italian leader in integrated mobility, and Enel X, the Enel Group’s global business line offering services to accelerate innovation and drive energy transition, announce their partnership for smart and sustainable mobility: Enel X’s stations for recharging electric vehicles have been integrated into the Telepass Pay app.

The partnership with Enel X allows Telepass to further strengthen its position as an enabler of integrated, flexible, safe and sustainable mobility. The objective of Telepass, summarized in the Safe&Clean philosophy adopted by the company, is to offer its customers a more complete ecosystem since it is cashless, and an increasingly green perspective. To use the service, download the Telepass Pay app, select the Enel X recharging service and, using the map, locate the nearest available recharging point out of the more than 13,000 installed by the company throughout Italy.

“The agreement we signed with Telepass is a clear example of how e-mobility is increasingly central to the business strategies of companies dealing with integrated mobility solutions,” saidAugusto Raggi, Head of Enel X Italia. “Starting today, it will be even easier and faster for all Telepass customers to find Enel X recharging points, as they can count on a widespread network covering the whole country, which is fully visible on the Telepass app. This added-value service is part of the business strategy pursued by Enel X, which is committed to dialogue with major industry partners and to developing the recharging technologies needed to accelerate the transition to sustainable mobility

“With the integration of Enel X’s charging stations into our integrated mobility ecosystem, we are adding a new element to our commitment to ever greener mobility,” commented Gabriele Benedetto, CEO of Telepass. “Electric mobility is increasingly present in our daily lives, especially in urban centers, and Telepass’ objective is to contribute to the expansion of green modes of travel. With this in mind, on Telepass Pay it is already possible, for example, to rent scooters, bicycles and electric scooters to get around the city while respecting the environment, or to book a car wash at home provided by the eco-sustainable car washing startup Wash Out, part of the Telepass Group.”
