Since its founding in 1985, Red Eléctrica's activity has been guided by one clear principle: to provide the electricity system and the public with a service of the highest quality and efficiency.

In Spain we have the world's first centre that controls renewable energy generation.

As a result of the presence of the travelling exhibition "A Highway Behind the Wall Socket" at the Valladolid Science Museum, Red Eléctrica launched an educational programme.

Red Eléctrica presents an interactive tour that invites visitors to participate, experiment and discover what electricity is, how it is generated and transported and how to consume it in a sustainable manner.

The Electricity control centre is responsible for the real time coordinated operation and supervision of the generation and transmission facilities that make up the Spanish electricity system.

At the precise instance in which we turn on the light, a power station must generate the energy required to meet that need.

This interconnection will reinforce the security of both electricity systems and will favour the integration of a greater volume of renewable energy, especially wind power energy coming from the Iberian system.

Due to the presence of the exhibition "A highway behind the socket" in the Science Museum of Valladolid, Red Eléctrica launched an educational program.

In 2002 the enlargement works of Madrid's Barajas airport began, the new T-4 terminal and two new runways. Said infrastructures were affected by the fact that a part of the 400 kV line (double circuit San Sebastián de los Reyes-Loeches-Morata).

Red Eléctrica, since its founding, has sought to continuously improve the availability of the electricity transmission facilities.
