Our General Manager’s
vision

We know that an increasingly electricity-intensive future is in store, with all the advantages this entails in terms of costs for people and environmental care. This requires appropriate renewable energy development.

It is essential that the power of the future be developed in keeping with stringent safety and quality standards in order to satisfy customer expectations. This must make use of everything technology has to offer, new business models and opportunities created by legislation.

Our values

The electricity
route

Power generation, transmission and distribution companies come together in interconnected systems in order to transmit energy to end consumers.

The power transmission system transmits electrical energy by means of transmission lines, towers and substations that connect producers and end consumers to electricity throughout the entire country. The position of National Electricity Coordinator was created 1 January 2017 in order to coordinate different companies participating in the market and ensure power supply for end users.

Our focus on
sustainability

We transmit energy while contributing to the development of territories where we operate. Sustainability is our Company’s guiding light and our collaborators are the key factor in this purpose.

Our sustainable value creation strategy incorporates sustainability as an integral part of the business. In fact, “contributing to sustainable development” is one of the five strategic pillars focusing on the creation of shared value with societies, communities and the surrounding environment where we operate.
This commitment is expressed in the Company’s Sustainability Policy, which is summarized into six fundamental principles.
