Generation

Rules Hydroelectric Power Plant

Construction of the new Rules hydroelectric power plant.
A plant with a capacity of 4 MW, generating approximately 24.8 GWh, and reducing the emission of approximately 11 million kilograms of CO2 each year.
Clean energy for more than 6,000 homes on the Tropical Coast of Granada.
We remain committed to a sustainable and responsible energy transformation.

Generation

Guadix Experimental Wind Farm

Our wind farm located in Guadix (Spain), consists of a wind turbine with synchronous technology, that is permanent magnets, with the greatest power installed in Spain of its kind. It has an average production of 10.2 GWh and a power output of 3.5 MW.

Electrical installation, telecommunications, voice and data, and photovoltaic self-consumption

Granada Conference Center

We joint Granada Conference Center with the aim of creating a 'zero emissions' building, with sustainable development, affordable and non-polluting energy and actions for the climate. As a result: savings in lighting consumption up to 70% and annual savings of 286 MWh per year.

Electrical, telecommunications, voice and data installation

Hospital Vithas Xanit Internacional

We were part of the expansion of services and the new reorganization of the Xanit Hospital spaces, increasing the power and backup supplies of the building, and ensuring a supply and energy savings of the entire building's lighting system.

Distribution

Substation with Red Eléctrica de España

We have redoubled our commitment to connecting with our towns, making possible the integration of the Escúzar and Íllora substation by Red Eléctrica, in order to guarantee the growth in demand and improve the quality of supply.

Digitalization

Cuerva Living Lab

Our Cuerva Living Lab is an innovation lab focused on the search for opportunities in the Energy sector. We focus on the construction, validation and scaling of disruptive and exponential ideas, technologies, and business models.
This is an open and collaborative innovation ecosystem where users experiment and test new ideas, products, and services.

Digitalization

Pedroches

Thanks to our extensive experience in the sector, we carried out the complete digitalization of a distributor of Inpecuarias Pozoblanco.

As part of the work performed, we conducted an extensive audit of the current state of the distribution network and proposed improvements and new smart equipment to be deployed to turn the network into a true Smart Grid.

Renewable generation, power distribution, digitization and electric mobility

GreenMotril

The GreenMotril project will transform the port of Motril into the first European port capable of operating in isolation using renewable energies and advanced storage and intelligent energy management technologies, with the aim of reducing CO2 emissions and increasing energy independence.
