Italy's green star has new, uncertain trajectory

In 2021, Enel had the world at its feet. Thanks to early bets on wind and solar by Francesco Starace, chief executive since 2014, the Italian utility was worth $105 billion and it seemed all set to be a major winner from the energy transition. Fast-forward two years, and Starace has been ousted by the Italian government, Enel’s 24% shareholder, the group’s net debt has ballooned due to energy crisis troubles, and it’s now only worth $65 billion.
