Discover what Red Eléctrica is, what we do, and why we are the backbone of the electricity system in Spain and the ecological transition.
A Network Against Social Inequality
A Network Against Social Inequality
We develop social innovation initiatives that reduce inequalities around our facilities.
For a Just and Inclusive Ecological Transition
At Red Eléctrica, we believe that the ecological transition is only valid if it is just and inclusive. We cannot and do not want to leave anyone behind.
To achieve this, we implement Redeia's social innovation strategy around our infrastructures, aiming to close four distinct inequality gaps: digital, territorial, generational, and gender disparities.
Territorial Inequality
We aim to reduce the gap between rural and urban areas through projects that promote the ecological transition, repopulation, entrepreneurship, and local development, among others.
Digital Inequality
Our goal is to eliminate the digital gap around 100% of our facilities. Thanks to the fibre optic network in our transmission grid, we help improve connectivity and provide training in new new digital skills to local residents.
Generational Inequality
We help bridge the opportunity gap affecting certain children, young people, and those over 65 years old through initiatives addressing early school leaving, youth unemployment, and the lack of digital skills among older people.
Gender Inequality
We promote gender equality initiatives around the transmission grid and within our own company, given the male-dominated nature of the energy sector. We encourage women's access to technical and leadership positions and promote young women studying STEAM university degrees.
Vida de ecosistema terrestre
Los principales impactos ambientales de Red Eléctrica son los que se derivan de la presencia de las instalaciones en el territorio. Por ello, la compañía trabaja intensamente para hacer que dichas instalaciones estén totalmente integradas en el entorno y territorios en los que desarrolla su actividad, considerando todo su ciclo de vida y prestando especial atención a la conservación de la biodiversidad.
