The energy group Enel has recently announced it will dedicate the next 10 years to switching its customers fully out of gas and to rely on electricity for all their energy needs — something that will help customers’ shave about 40% off their bills and 80% off their carbon emissions, says the company’s chief financial officer Alberto De Paoli.
It will also get the group closer to its decarbonisation target: zero emissions by 2040 both for direct (Scope 1) and indirect (Scope 3) emissions — Scope 2 emissions, which relate to purchased electricity, are not relevant to the group. The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) approves of Enel’s plans.
