Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan

On this page, we explain how e distribución participates in the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan (PRTR), the projects we develop, and the benefits they bring to the electricity grid, the environment, and customers.

  • Protecting birdlifeProtection

    Protection of birdlife

    We protect birdlife thanks to a project co-financed by the European Union.

  • In distribution networks Digitization

    Digitisation of the grid

    We develop digitalization projects to improve the quality of the network and optimize synergies.

Two main lines of action

Thanks to the funding call for electricity grid digitalisation, we are accelerating the modernisation of our network through two major lines of action:

  1. Digitalisation of the distribution network.
  2. Protection of birdlife around power lines.

Digitalisation of the distribution network

We are making investments to modernise and digitalise the Spanish electricity grid, with the aim of advancing the decarbonisation of the energy system.

Key digitalisation projects

The main projects include:

  • Deployment of sensors across the electricity grid.
  • Development of network digital twins.
  • Digitalisation of substations.
  • Digitalisation of low-voltage networks.
  • Improvement of remote control and smart metering.
  • Improvement of customer service quality.

Benefits of digitalisation

The digitalisation of the network allows for:

  • Greater network efficiency and optimisation.
  • Better integration of renewable energies.
  • Greater demand response capacity.
  • Reduction in technical losses.
  • Improvement in supply quality.
  • Greater transparency and information for customers.

Role of the PRTR and the INECP

The digitalisation of the electricity grid is a key pillar for:

  • The Integrated National Energy and Climate Plan (INECP).
  • The Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan (PRTR).

These actions contribute to:

  • The decarbonisation of the electricity system.
  • The promotion of sustainable mobility.
  • Improving the competitiveness of the Spanish economy.

Protection of birdlife around power lines

The PRTR also promotes specific actions for the protection of birds in the vicinity of power lines.

Objective

To enhance the protection of birdlife by adapting power lines to reduce the risks of collision and electrocution.

Funding

  • Next Generation EU funds.
  • Component 4: Conservation and restoration of ecosystems and biodiversity.
  • Initiative C4.I2: prevention of fauna mortality.
  • Total budget: €60 million (2021‑2026 period).

Planned actions

  • Preventive measures: designing new routes taking bird flight paths into account.
  • Corrective measures: adapting the existing grid to eliminate risks.
  • Grant calls managed by the Autonomous Communities.

e‑distribución's commitment

At e‑distribución:

  • We maintain a firm commitment to protecting birdlife.
  • We have extensive experience in these types of actions.
  • We have submitted project applications in several Autonomous Communities.

Benefits of these actions

  • Reduction in bird mortality.
  • Conservation of biodiversity.
  • Compliance with environmental regulations.
  • Improvement of the balance between the electricity grid and the natural environment.
