80 years creating the future
For 80 years, we've made history together, driving Spain’s development. Will you join us on the journey ahead?
Our transformation
Since its founding in 1944, Endesa has been a catalyst in Spain’s development, powering up the electrification that transformed millions of lives.
For over decades, our history was linked to coal and other essential energy sources, like hydro, that have fostered cohesion and growth in Spain.
Today, we look to the future with a firm commitment to zero-emission generation sources, building a smart and resilient electrical grid that supports the electrification of our economy and providing quality and competitive electrical energy to our customers.
Our greatest challenge is to be the first Net Zero company by 2040—ten years ahead of the global commitments set at the Paris Agreement.
80 years gave us a lot to reflect on. Therefore, we've listed our greatest milestones to showcase our journey.
The challenge of electrifying a nation
Endesa was founded with a clear mission: to bring electricity to Spain which was rebuilding after the Civil War. From our first powe plants to creating a vast transmission grid, we led the electrification process, while marking a turning point in driving modernisation nationwide.
This challenge not only transformed our infrastructure but also promoted profound socioeconomic development.
A European innovation leader
Through the years, Endesa has become one of Europe’s leading energy companies. In the ‘80s and ‘90s, our international expansion and embrace of innovative technology put us at the forefront of efficiency.
Today, integrated into the Enel Group, we remain an industry leader, propelling technology breakthroughs that reshape the electric sector.
We are Endesa
Are the true protagonists of our story, along with our customers.
Different generations have built what we are today. And colleagues who have experienced their own transition, from coal to renewables.
Álvaro Ybarra, one of the most prestigious photographers in our country, has traveled across Spain capturing the gaze of the protagonists of the energy transition. These are the stories of The Legacy We Will Become.
More than just energy
Our impact extends beyond electricity. Through Endesa and through the Fundación Endesa (Endesa Foundation), we promote education, culture, and sports.
Initiatives such as supporting Spanish basketball over the last decade and a half, promoting sustainable music festivals and educational projects show our commitment to society and to creating an environment that encourages the comprehensive development of people.
A sustainable future
We at Endesa believe sustainability is the way forward. Our commitment to the energy transition is evident in our commitment to renewable energies, such as solar, hydroelectric and wind, in the development of energy storage solutions and also in supporting our clients in the electrification of our energy uses.
We are leading yhe way in decarbonization and working towards a cleaner, more sustainable economy.
We will be the first Spanish electricity company without emissions in 2040.
Just as we’ve evolved, so has our corporate image, with logo updates that reflect new milestones and circumstances in which our company has grown over the years.
A legacy for the future
Celebrating the last 80 years allows us to reflect on our legacy and to look to the future. We’ve built a history based on innovation, commitment, and sustainability.
Future challenges do not scare us, as we always stand up for our mission of providing clean, safe, and accessible energy.
