Rome, 18 August 2025 – Italy’s Competition Authority (AGCM) has fined Enel X S.r.l. and Enel X Way Italia S.r.l. a total of €2,305,102 for abusing their dominant position in the electric vehicle (EV) charging market.
The Authority found that the companies engaged in a margin squeeze, setting wholesale and retail pricing conditions that risked excluding rival operators providing mobility services (MSPs/EMPs) to end users. The conduct was deemed a violation of Article 102 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU).
Following the ruling, the companies – with Enel X Way S.r.l. having been merged into Enel X S.r.l. as of 1 January 2025 – are required to cease similar practices in the future.
The fine must be paid within 90 days of notification.
The case highlights the AGCM’s close scrutiny of competition in emerging energy and mobility markets, particularly where dominant players may use pricing strategies to foreclose competitors.
