Vegetation management is an essential aspect in the maintenance of power lines. Following SAGA’s philosophy, where predictive maintenance is based on the condition of the assets and the overall risk of the grid, this APM this solution developed by Red Eléctrica includes an extension (VEGETA) that allows for optimal and prioritised management of vegetation felling and pruning plans.

What is SF6?

SF6 is an artificial gas whose properties make it a great dielectric. Specifically, it exceeds the dielectric property of air by 2.5 times, making it an excellent electrical insulator.

Where is it used?

Over the last few decades, it has been applied in a large number of assets in electricity transmission and distribution networks, for example as an insulator in switchgear, transformers or GIS (Gas Insulated Substation), among others.

Why should we reduce its use?

• This will allow us to use technology in a more universal and efficient manner, also improving the times required by specialised technicians.
• This initiative allows the intensification of the roll-out of wideband in rural and remote areas.
• The call, directed at the whole entrepreneurial ecosystem, will be open until September 30^th.

• The Company has updated its corporate brand image to respond to a business need resulting from its evolution, growth and diversification that has led it to become a manager of essential and global infrastructures both in the energy and telecommunications sectors.
• This new brand encompasses all its businesses: Red Eléctrica, Reintel, Hispasat, Redinter (the new brand of the Company’s international subsidiary) and Elewit, five benchmark companies and leaders in their sectors.

Health indices play a key role within APM (Asset Performance Management) systems. In a nutshell, a health index describes the state or technical condition of an asset by means of a score, and therefore its current performance and degradation. They can even go further, indicating what its state will be in the future.

• This second edition of the Innovation Sessions brought together entrepreneurs from the innovation ecosystem in Spain with agents from the energy and telecommunications sector.
• The meeting saw the unveiling of different innovation projects that Elewit, Group companies and technology partners are developing in order to promote the energy transition and universal and inclusive connectivity.
• The Alten Group was also named the winner of a challenge to come up with new high-voltage pylons designs.

Data Governance is becoming increasingly widespread in many areas and sectors. However, what does it actually mean? It refers to the management of the availability, integrity, usability and security of a company's or business unit's data, based on a set of internal rules and policies that control its use. Effective data governance can mitigate risks, generate knowledge, and accelerate and improve decision-making in asset management. It also ensures the consistency, quality and reliability of the data.

• They are launching a technological innovation challenge to find innovative solutions to continue to drive the evolution and modernisation of these infrastructures.
• The call is available for the whole ecosystem and will remain open until 19 April.

Red Eléctrica de España, operator and transporter of the electricity system, and Elewit, the Group's technology platform, are jointly launching a technological innovation challenge to find new designs for high-voltage power line towers (also known as pylons).

Asset management is one of the cornerstones of companies’ maintenance processes. It involves two lines of work that are key to maintaining productivity, reducing the risk of failure and, consequently, maximising the availability of resources. On the one hand, a comprehensive infrastructure monitoring of aging assets is required to maximise its effectiveness and efficiency. On the other hand, the integration of new technologies and digital transformation processes is essential to implement new ways of asset management and monitoring.

• The Commissioner visited the head office of Elewit, the Group's technology platform created in 2019 to develop innovative solutions to drive the green transition and the digital transformation.
• During the event, the technology companies Zeleros, Hesstec and Nearby Computing presented to the Commissioner the innovative projects they are developing and promoting with the support of the Red Eléctrica Group.
• At this meeting in Madrid, Kadri Simson also visited the CECORE, Red Eléctrica de España's back-up electricity control centre for the operation of the system.
