In Red Eléctrica we develop and carry out numerous actions aimed at the protection and conservation of birdlife.

This preliminary report presents provisional statistical data regarding the behaviour of the Spanish electricity system in 2014.

Brochure about the project ‘Birds and power lines: Mapping of bird flight paths’. Red Eléctrica de España has won the European Business Awards for the Environment 2014 in the special category ‘Business and Biodiversity’, for its project ‘Birds and power lines: Mapping of bird flight paths’.

In 2013, Red Eléctrica signed a collaboration agreement with the Government of Aragon to be get to know more about and map the territories used by this species for foraging.

In 2011, the Government of the Balearic Islands launched the Bonelli’s Eagle reintroduction plan in Majorca, a project in which Red Eléctrica, in collaboration with other entities, has contributed to the release of juvenile eagles, transferred from other Spanish regions.

Video of mapping of bird flight paths and corridors, one geographic information system that integrates data from bird flight corridors (areas of presence and routes) sensitive to the presence of high-voltage electricity lines, improving the prevention of impacts on birdlife during the planning and execution phases of projects and allows prioritisation of mitigation actions.

MAJORCA − IBIZA electricity interconnection: a pioneering interconnection and a technological challenge of the highest order.

Red Eléctrica Corporation release results for the first half of 2014.

The demand for electricity in 2013 fell again for the third consecutive year reaching a level similar to that registered in 2005. Ever since the economic crisis began in 2008, demand has experienced a continued decline consistent with the negative behaviour of the Spanish economy and, despite following a path of gradual improvement in 2013 with a small increase in the third and fourth quarters (0.1% and 0.2% respectively quarter on quarter), in general 2013 saw a drop in GDP of 1.2% year on year.

The project consists of the field installation of an energy storage system, specifically a lithium-ion prismatic battery with a power in the range of 1 MW and a capacity of at least 3 MWh.
