Enel was first established as a public body at the end of 1962, and then transformed into a limited company in 1992.[5] In 1999, following the liberalisation of the electricity market in Italy, Enel was privatised.[6] The Italian state, through the Ministry of Economy and Finance, is the main shareholder, with 23.6% of the share capital as of 1 April 2016.[7]

Enel is the 59th largest company in the world by revenue, with $147.79 billion in 2023.[8] As of 2018, Enel is also the second largest electric utility company in the world by revenue after the State Grid Corporation of China.[9] The company is quoted on the FTSE MIB index on the Borsa Italiana.[7]
