Innovation is one of the main tools for a company to guarantee its sustainability, efficiency and competitiveness. In our case, our continued commitment to innovation has made us the most innovative Spanish utility, and the third most innovative in Europe, according to the European Commission's classification.

Lithium-ion batteries are rechargeable systems capable of storing electrical energy and releasing it when needed. Their high energy density, efficiency and versatility have driven their use in electronic devices, electric vehicles and energy storage systems. Furthermore, their ability to store electricity makes them a key technology for integrating renewable energy and moving towards a more electrified and decarbonised energy system.
The electrolyser is an apparatus that produces hydrogen through a chemical process (electrolysis) capable of separating the hydrogen and oxygen molecules of which water is composed using electricity. Hydrogen produced in this sustainable way, i.e. without emitting carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, can be the basis for a decarbonised economy.

Since the beginning of the space era in 1957, tons of rockets, space ships and satellites have been launched into space and, at least initially, no one foresaw what to do with them at the end of their useful life. The European Space Agency (ESA) estimates that there are some 900,000 objects over one centimetre in size that have no use orbiting the Earth. This fact, according to the UN, endangers future missions and even terrestrial communications.

When a machine stops working, there can be significant consequences. But when this happens in critical systems such as electricity networks, the impact multiplies and can affect both service reliability and a company’s costs. For this reason, more and more organisations are turning to predictive maintenance, a set of techniques that make it possible to anticipate failures before they occur. Below, we explain in simple terms what predictive maintenance is and what its main benefits are
The company which has won the Iberdrola birdlife protection Challenge, Energiot, uses the Internet of Things (IoT) to monitor public service networks so they do not need to be maintained. Their solution to the problem was to create an autonomous predator simulator that would scare the birds away, allowing them to avoid collisions. Find out more about them.
