Recovery, Transformation and Resiliency Plan 2021

With the help of the project named "Digitalización de las redes eléctricas" under Royal Decree 1125/2021, we are accelerating the digitization of our grid.

Introduction

On this page, we explain how e‑distribución participated in the 2021 Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan (PRTR), the investments made, and the benefits they bring to the electricity grid and society.

Investments made in 2021

In 2021, e‑distribución proposed investments worth €62 million in electricity grid digitalisation projects.

These investments were 50% co-financed by the European Union, in accordance with Royal Decree 1125/2021, under the PRTR.

Main actions

The actions included, among others:

  • Deployment of sensors across the electricity grid.
  • Advanced automation of facilities.

These measures drive the digitalisation of the grid and contribute to decarbonisation targets.

Digitalisation of the electricity grid in the PRTR

The digitalisation of electricity grids is a key element of the PRTR and the Integrated National Energy and Climate Plan (INECP).

Energy targets for 2030

The INECP establishes, among others, the following targets:

  • That 42% of final energy use comes from renewable sources.
  • That 74% of electrical energy comes from renewable sources.

The role of electricity grids

To achieve these targets, electricity grids must be modernised and digitalised.

The digitalisation of the distribution network allows for:

  • The active participation of users in the energy transition.
  • Better integration of renewable energies.
  • Less reliance on polluting energy sources.
  • The promotion of new mobility models, such as electric mobility.

PRTR support for grid digitalisation (Component 8)

Within the PRTR submitted to the European Commission, Component 8 – Electrical infrastructure, promotion of smart grids, and deployment of flexibility and storage – includes investment support for this grid transformation.

Grant awarded to e‑distribución

Through the October 2024 Resolution by the State Secretariat for Energy, the payment of grants corresponding to the PRTR 2021 was approved, in accordance with Royal Decree 1125/2021.

EDISTRIBUCIÓN REDES DIGITALES, S.L.U. was awarded a payment of €26,179,160 for investments made in PRTR initiatives.
