🤝 Eni's Plenitude secures a €700mn commitment from Energy Infrastructure Partners (EIP), representing ~9% of the company's share capital.

💲 Initial capital: €500mn, with an option for EIP to increase to €700mn by early 2024.

💼 Transaction implies an equity value of ~€8bn and an enterprise value exceeding €10bn.

🔌 Currently serving ~10 million European customers, with a goal of exceeding 11 million by 2026.

☀️ Ambitious renewable capacity targets: Over 7 GW by 2026 and 15 GW by 2030, up from 3 GW+ in 2022.
