Energy Matters Series: An Interview With Francesco Starace

As part of our Energy Matters series, we interviewed Francesco Starace on the big themes across the sector.

Our series, Energy Matters, brings industrialists and investors together to debate the big themes that matter across the energy value chain. Our aim is to build a community and to share learnings as we navigate the major challenges and opportunities created as we race towards carbon net-zero.

Through our conversations, we focus on the most impactful initiatives that both reduce carbon whilst generating shareholder returns – a tough ask.

In this interview, we are joined by Francesco Starace, who has been Chief Executive Officer and General Manager of Enel since May 2014. He is a world leader in the digitalisation of energy and innovation across the grid and has transformed Enel to be one of the largest developers of renewable power globally.

Here, Francesco shares his views on the big themes across the sector, including the right business model to drive change and what he’s most optimistic about in the sector moving forward.
