Our innovation strategy

Our strategic lines frame our R&D&I roadmap for the coming years so that we can offer Innovative and Sustainable Solutions resulting from the application of disruptive technologies in the development of our new products.

We firmly believe that investment in R&D&I is essential for growth, sustainability, and maintaining a competitive leadership position in the market.

Our priorities are focused on developing actions aimed at achieving a power transmission and distribution network that efficiently, reliably, and sustainably integrates the new realities associated with the energy transition: digital technologies such as cybersecurity, asset management and data monitoring or digital twins; the design and development of innovative equipment and product sustainability; as well as the development of other relevant specific electrical technologies, such as direct current, internal arc, or harmonic measurement.

We are aware that there are a number of factors we must consider when working on innovation, such as:

  • Electrification: providing solutions for efficient mobility and reliable interconnection of renewable generation.
  • Decarbonization: as an essential part of the Circular Economy, EcoDesign, and the use of more sustainable materials in our equipment and infrastructure.
  • Digitalization: of the Power Grid — monitored, automated, predictive, secure, and intelligent — Smart Grids.
  • Decentralization: supported by Industry 4.0 to equip the systems and infrastructure operating within the grid with remote tools and predictive systems that support decision-making.
  • Democratization: of knowledge to support the necessary talent and offer innovative, convenient, and functional solutions to our clients.

Pillars of growth and innovation framework

In the challenge full of opportunities that the energy transition opens up for us, we are aware that one of our greatest contributions of value lies in focusing our innovative know-how around the following actions:
