ENEL AND FORMULA E : ON TRACK FOR CARBON NEUTRAL RACING

Formula E will give Enel the chance to test several technologies typically associated to what we call “ smart cities ” of the future , such as :

Movable storage systems and their integration with PV solar , which will be useful in smart cities where more people will become producers of energy ;

The integration of electric cars with local energy grids through our V2G technology , an innovative technology which allows EVs owners and energy consumers to use their vehicles as real “ four-wheel mobile plants ”, storing and feeding back into the grid the energy that has not been used . This will be a great test bed for additional commercial projects on top of those that Enel is already carrying out with other partners , such as with

Nissan in Denmark and in the UK ;

Innovative energy management applications that can open the way to commercial products for our Business-to-Customer ( B2C ) and Business-to-Business ( B2B ) customers , promoting energy efficiency solutions for energy-intensive sectors with high carbon emissions , such as construction sector and large industries .

Thanks to Formula E we will also assess potential business models for the future , as we expect that the demand for events ’ sustainable powering and smarter solutions for the entertainment sector will grow all over the world after this Formula E experience . Smart cities will also host smarter entertainment solutions .

Moreover , the Formula E experience will be a testing ground for micro grid applications , in particular for rural electrification projects , mainly through off-grid solutions , but also in grid-tied systems . We will be able to test cutting-edge technologies for the increase of renewable integration , storage management , load control and metering , energy management with local controllers for real-time operations and cloud-based platform for systems ’ optimization , among other things .
