UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon, in his keynote addressed to the World Future Energy Summit, last January 2012, called on Governments, the private sector and civil society to make significant commitments to action in support of his Sustainable Energy for All Initiative.
EU Development Commissioner, Mr. Andris Piebalgs, during the Rio+20 conference, June 2012, pointed out that the EU is fully behind the Sustainable energy for all initiative. According to the Commissioner, all actors, be they public or private, international or local, have a role to play.
The Enel Group decided to respond UN Secretary-General and Commissioner calls for Action and committed to create “EN-EL Enabling Electricity” programme to increase access to energy. Electricity is an extraordinary driver of growth and prosperity and today, more than one million people across the world are benefiting from Enel’s innovative projects to access energy.
