The Inflation Reduction Act is seen as a major contributing factor for Enel

Enel SpA (BIT:ENEL), an Italian utility company, has revealed intentions to launch a factory in the US with the capability of producing up to 6 GW of solar modules annually. Bifacial photovoltaic cells and panels are expected to be developed at this facility, which would make it one of the largest such plants in the US. Construction projects should begin as soon as mid-2023, and products are anticipated to hit commercial markets by late 2024.


The Inflation Reduction Act is seen as a major contributing factor for Enel's decision for investing in a domestic supply chain. Furthermore, their 3Sun plant located in Sicily will also be subject to an expansion that could reach 3GW per year from the current 200 MW. Enrico Viale, head of Enel North America, stated that he believes these actions will initiate a new era of US-made energy.
