In this December 2022 conversation, Michele Crisostomo, then Enel chairman, connects the company’s sixtieth anniversary with the energy crisis and the transition to renewables. He distinguishes immediate gas-supply needs from the choice not to tie future decades to gas. His vision centres on grids, distributed generation and energy communities that bring production closer to consumption. These are the company representative’s views within an energy special, including long-term predictions that should be read as such.
Key points
- Crisostomo describes a chairman’s role more engaged with markets and with contributions from different generations.
- He revisits responses to energy crises and presents renewables as a long-term direction.
- For the short term he supports diversifying gas supplies; for the future he cautions against turning that into structural dependence.
- Energy communities and investment in grids should let households and businesses shape how they produce and consume electricity.
- He envisages emission-free generation and electric transport, with a possible complementary role for new nuclear technologies: a scenario proposed in 2022.
