Enel Distribuição Rio and Enel Distribuição Ceará are the new names for the Enel Group’s Brazilian distribution companies Ampla and Coelce, while its energy solutions company Pratil has become Enel Soluções.
With this change, which includes a new visual identity, logo and website, the Group’s Brazilian companies are embracing Enel’s Open Power strategic and operational approach.
Rio de Janeiro, November 8th, 2016 – Enel, a leading power utility present in more than 30 countries across four continents, has brought its global corporate brand to its companies in Brazil. Following the rebranding, the Group’s distribution companies Ampla and Coelce, which operate in Rio de Janeiro and Ceará respectively, are now Enel Distribuição Rio and Enel Distribuição Ceará. Enel’s Brazilian energy solutions company Pratil has become Enel Soluções.
“The rebranding process is an important step for us in Brazil that puts us fully in line with the new vision and identity of the Enel Group and reinforces our long-term commitment to the country,”
The change is part of the Group’s new global identity and positioning which is based on its Open Power platform which translates into openness to people, new technologies, new uses of energy and new partnerships as the cornerstone of its strategic and operational approach.
“We want to continue to play a leading role in the Brazilian energy market, acting as an innovative, sustainable and forward-looking company open both to all our stakeholders and to the changes that the sector is experiencing, both here in Brazil and elsewhere around the world”
Enel’s new identity positions the Group as a modern utility that is open, flexible, responsive and able to lead the energy transition, using the changes it is undergoing internally to maintain its global relevance and to make the most of the opportunities that the transition can bring. The strategy also involves creating closer synergies between subsidiaries and the adoption of a single brand, in particular in markets – such as Latin America – where the Group’s portfolio includes assets with different names and visual identities.
