Get In Touch Homepage Business Smart grid and distributed generation Distributed generation & Microgrids With Enel X, companies can start generating their own power in a more sustainable way, while saving money, and improving resiliency WATCH OUR VIDEO The revolution that is taking place in the energy industry is opening up an opportunity for companies to start generating their own power while saving money, tapping new revenue streams and fighting climate change. At Enel X we help business become “prosumers”. With the use of renewable technologies we enable them to produce energy on which they can partially or fully consume. Those who once only consumed energy now become also energy producers (prosumers). This new way of generating and distributing energy offers companies new business opportunities, savings and growth. Therefore they are actively contributing to increasing sustainability, and slowing climate change thanks to a more efficient use of energy. Becoming prosumer a company can generate tangible benefits on its own activities and on the whole community. Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), which generate power in parallel to the main grid using small-scale technologies and renewable energy, play a pivotal role. DERs enable reduced energy costs for clients, greater reliability and a lower environmental impact. Distributed Energy is part of Enel X’s ecosystem of integrated energy solutions, an entire suite designed to promote efficiency and enhance cost savings. As part of our offer, we help businesses achieving increased resiliency in case of unexpected interruptions to the power supply, as well as circularity and sustainability. We create turnkey Solar Photovoltaic Systems tailored to the specific needs of each client, offering a customized end to end solution. We take care of the feasibility studies, of the design work, and of the plant installation and commissioning. We offer a turnkey comprehensive solution for plants of all sizes. With Enel X Clients can stay focused on their core business activities without any concerns over the installation and maintenance of the PV system. We complement our solar photovoltaic offer with Cogeneration and Trigeneration plants. These systems recover and re-use almost all the heat produced, preventing it from dissipating into the atmosphere and benefitting both the client and the environment. Trigeneration assets additionally produce cooling energy on top of electricity and heat. Our offer ultimately extends to energy infrastructures, such as conversion cabins and transmission lines. As an energy service company, or Esco, Enel X makes available three business models to enhance sustainable investments, each responding to the client’s specific needs. With a more traditional Spot Sale option, clients can buy the asset outright. In case the Client wanted to avoid cash outflows, Enel X offers the different financing options providing the Customers the opportunity of signing a long-term energy service agreement - a PPA, or power purchase agreement - and installing a distributed energy source with no upfront payment. Additionally, thanks to our sale and lease back formula, the customer with existing energy production assets (DERs) available on its premises can decide to sell it in return of a cash payment and an energy service agreement with Enel X. This formula might remove the asset from the balance sheet and gives the client the benefit of a revamped power plant, which cuts costs and reduces energy consumption. By bringing in Enel X, the client avoids the effort and the expense of plant management. That adds up to a competitive advantage. Enel X’s offering complements state-of-the-art hardware with the latest software and premium services, answering all customers’ Energy needs. Backed by Enel Group, one of Europe’s largest utilities and leveraging the experience gained serving 18,500 customers globally, our solutions maximize businesses’ bottom lines worldwide and over the long term. Beyond energy: unlocking the full potential of Distributed Generation Distributed Energy is the key to unlocking a number of additional benefits and revenue streams. Enel X has developed several scalable solutions to maximize the potential of your distributed energy resource (DER) assets. Among them is Energy Management, a Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence based platform that gathers historic or real-time data from your photovoltaic (PV) system and all other on-site energy-consuming equipment, stores it for analysis and generates reports containing recommendations on how to reduce and optimize energy consumption. To further maximize the value of your PV, cogeneration (CHP) and trigeneration (CCHP) plants throughout their lifetime, a portfolio of flexibility solutions have been devised for your company. These include our brand-new set of Generation & Energy Optimisation (GEO) solutions, also known as GEO Basic and GEO Advanced. The former, GEO Basic, enables companies to trade on the market the energy produced in excess by their on-site PV and CHP assets, obtaining a new source of income. The latter, GEO Advanced, is the solution especially designed for CHP owners that is able to capture real-time market opportunities and optimize the CHP production schedule by taking into account commodity price changes, the regulatory framework and much more, thanks to our advanced modeling software. Finally, CHP owners can also generate a new revenue stream by participating in one of our Demand Response (DR) programs, simply by modulating their energy consumption in response to grid signals.
