<p>Energy efficiency is at the heart of the synergy between Enel X and Smeg, two companies that make innovation linked to sustainability a pillar of their respective strategies. With this in mind, the Enel Group’s global business line, which offers services to accelerate innovation and guide the energy transition, will be installing two photovoltaic plants of 1.9 MW at Smeg’s headquarters in Guastalla (province of Reggio Emilia) and 1.6 MW at the production site in Bonferraro (province of Verona), in addition to the existing plants.

In addition to the construction of the systems, consisting of a total of 9,217 JA solar photovoltaic modules equipped with power optimizers, Enel X will also ensure their maintenance for 5 years. Moreover, with this agreement, the first steps have been taken for the evaluation of a new cogeneration plant at the Bonferraro (VR) site, a further step towards the creation of a distributed generation ecosystem. </p><p>The creation of the photovoltaic system is part of a global project to move towards sustainability which has always involved Smeg, a company dedicated to the responsible production of appliances that combine aesthetics and technological innovation. This project takes the form of a set of environmental policies and targeted actions aimed at creating collective value in accordance with the evolution of the sector, such as participation in territorial reforestation programs, conscious use of raw materials and investments aimed at maximizing energy savings.</p>
