Enel X’s challenge

Lineage is endeavoring to reconcile its own production requirements with energy saving and sustainability targets, which consist of reducing CO₂ emissions and increasing energy resilience.

Enel X has added Lineage to its Demand Response programs, developing a personalized energy strategy designed to meet the specific needs of the logistics sector.

Demand Response solutions allow the company to generate income without putting its production process at risk. By modulating and optimizing energy consumption, Lineage will be able to save on energy costs while countering price volatility.
