The Enel Group, Europe’s largest utility provider by market capitalization, will be included, starting September 23, in the STOXX Europe 50 index, which includes the 50 largest companies in Europe.

The inclusion of Enel was decided following the periodic evaluation of the listed companies carried out by STOXX, the operator of the Deutsche Boerse group’s indices, including STOXX Europe 50.
