The Italian mineral oil and energy group ENI has signed an agreement on the acquisition of 100 percent of BE POWER via its division of ENI Gas e Luce a few days ago. Be Power is the second largest operator of electric car charging infrastructure in Italy via its subsidiary, with more than 5000 public charging stations.

The Italian Group wants to achieve a complete decarbonization of its products and processes by 2050.
The mobility sector will experience a steadily growing number of electric cars on the streets in Italy and Europe in the coming years.

It also manages its own charging stations and those other operators through a proprietary technology platform and also offers a special app for electric car drivers.
“With the acquisition of BE POW, ENI occupies a management position in a market, which is the focus of the European Union’s energy-purpose strategy. Business with infrastructure and charging solutions for electric cars strengthens the portfolio of ENI Gas E Luce, which already reached ten million customers in six European countries. We continue our way to become a leader in the production and sale of fully decarbonated products.”- Claudio Descalzi, CEO of Eni
