Indicators

Red Eléctrica has always given solid support to sustainable development, assuming the commitment of being one of the companies that best integrate environmental protection into the regular performance of their activities. This commitment has led Red Eléctrica to define and introduce a series of indicators that make it possible to measure the company's environmental commitment.

Environmental performance indicators regarding activities

Compliance with the Environmental Programme

Biodiversity: Protection of Birdlife
Biodiversity: Protection of Birdlife	2008	2009	2010
The objective of the indicator is not the marking of 100% of the lines that cross SPAs as not all bird species present in these areas are susceptible to colliding with the cables. At this moment the elaboration of an indicator that better reflects the marking is being worked on (for its calculation the areas in which species at risk of collision exist will be taken into account, whether they are in SPAs or not).
A km of lines in SPA's marked with bird flight diverter devices	255	375	412
B Total km of lines in SPA's	2,897.81	2,941.72	2,949.8

Emissions
Emissions		2008	2009	2010
The most representative emissions related to the activity are the SF₆ emissions (direct) and the emissions derived from the losses in the transmission grid. ^(*) In order to evaluate the SF6 gas emissions in relation to the total SF₆ gas installed, it has been considered more appropriate to use the tonne unit of SF₆ emissions instead of calculating them in tonnes of CO₂ equivalent.
Emisión SF₆	A SF₆ emissions (kg) ^(*)	2.270	2.8840	2.6970
	B SF₆ installed (kg)	175.25	203.036	211.255
	indicator A/B	0.01156	0.01275	0.01262
Emissions derived from losses in the Transmission Grid	A Indirect emissions derived from losses in the Transmission Grid (tonnes of CO₂ equivalent)	1,073,518	861,859	723,540
	B MWh transported	260,230,008	251,423,717	263,783,816
	indicator A/B	0.00412	0.00342	0.00274
