Shenzen – Francesco Starace, CEO and General Manager of Enel SpA, signed a framework agreement with Mr. Shi Lirong, CEO of ZTE Corporation, a leading Chinese telecommunications equipment and systems company. This agreement will kick-start cooperation between the two groups in the areas of electric mobility, smart grids and renewable generation. Regarding electric mobility, Enel and ZTE have agreed to share information on the technological solutions developed by both companies on vehicle charging, as well as exploring integrated solutions and synergies for a possible joint commercial development. A dedicated effort will focus on cooperation in off-grid renewable generation, including collaboration at the Ollague site in Chile. In Ollague, a village near the Bolivian border, Enel Green Power (the Enel Group renewable arm) is constructing an innovative 232 kW off-grid hybrid plant combining photovoltaic power and a mini-wind turbine generator coupled with an energy storage system. Such a collaborative effort addressing the Ollague project is aimed at exploring possible optimization and identifying further development opportunities for similar installations. (9colonne)
