5600-637: The value of the acquired companies were defined, and it was established that compensation was to be paid to creditors in 10 years at an interest rate of 5.5%. Within this framework, 1962 was to be considered a transition year, in which all income and expenses of the acquired companies would be transferred to Enel. 1963 was thus the first operational year of the newly formed company.

However, the flood carried so much silt down river that re-dredging would be required to return to normal traffic patterns. In October, the tows were limited to six barges (two wide and three deep). The 2019 flood deposited about 1.5 million cubic yards of sediment into the waterway, As of February 2020, barge traffic remained limited by tow size and restricted to daylight hours only due to sediment. USACE expected to complete
5760-498: Was completed. Between 1973 and 1977, wells for geothermal energy production were drilled in Torre Alfina, in the province of Viterbo ( Lazio ). The dam of Alto Gesso ( Piedmont ) was completed in 1982 as part of the hydroelectric power station Luigi Einaudi "Entracque" . The 1980s were characterised by the construction of new plants and the testing of alternative forms of energy, the Italian nuclear power phase-out, as well as
5840-538: Was deactivated in 1987 and shut down in 1990. The construction work on the Montalto di Castro Nuclear Power Station , started in 1982, was interrupted in 1988. The station was converted the following year into a multi-fuel plant. The Latina Nuclear Power Plant was shut down in 1988. The Garigliano Nuclear Power Plant had been shut down since 1978. In 1988, the new National Energy Plan (PEN) established its key objectives: increased energy efficiency, environmental protection,

6000-627: Was involved in the Vajont Dam disaster. On 9 October 1963, a huge landslide of 260 million cubic metres fell into the reservoir formed by the dam. The dam and power plant had been built by the Società Adriatica di Elettricità (the Adriatic Electricity Company, or SADE) and then sold to Edison , and it had just been transferred as part of the nationalisation process to the newly established Enel. The landslide created huge waves in
6080-442: Was launched. It is the new business line of the Group and aims to accelerate the development of electric mobility and combine decarbonization, digitalization and electrification. The initiative was presented by CEO Elisabetta Ripa at Rome's Formula E Grand Prix.

6160-519: Was officially opened for business on February 20, 1970, and was formally dedicated by President Richard M. Nixon on June 5, 1971. This port is the largest in Oklahoma.

It is a fully equipped multi-modal transportation center served by both
6240-584: Was originally supervised by the Committee of Ministers, began to be overseen by the inter-ministerial Committee for Economic Planning (CIPE), under the Ministry of Industry. During this period, production from thermal power stations surpassed, for the very first time, that of hydroelectric power . In 1963, the National Dispatch Centre of Rome was created to manage the energy network by coordinating
6320-557: Was the first thermal solar field to use molten salt –technology integrated with a combined cycle gas facility. Enel had several acquisitions and divestments in this period. In 2001, the company won the tender offer for the purchase of Viesgo—a subsidiary of Endesa —a company active on the Spanish market in the production and distribution of electricity, with a net installed capacity of 2400 megawatts . In 2002, Enel divested Eurogen SpA, Elettrogen SpA, and Interpower SpA in compliance with
6400-596: Was won by those opposed to nuclear power. This result marked the end of nuclear power in Italy , the closing and suspension of all construction of nuclear power stations, and the establishment of a new national energy plan. The Caorso Nuclear Power Plant in Emilia-Romagna , which had been inactive since 1986 due to refuelling, was never reactivated and was finally closed in 1990.
