i-DE trains Burgos National Police to act in risky situations in electrical installations

• With the goal of raising awareness among the members of the State Security Forces to a risk that is invisible to the untrained eye.
• This training was inaugurated by the sub-delegate of the Government in Burgos, Pedro L. de la Fuente, the provincial commissioner, Jesús Nogales, the head of the company's grid business in Burgos and Soria, Roberto Rodríguez, and the territorial head of Safety Spain, Laureano Arias.

i-DE, Iberdrola España's distribution company, with trainers from technical units and its prevention staff, gave the National Police of Burgos a technical seminar on the risks and safety measures for the work its members may have to carry out in the event of an emergency, incident or theft in or around electrical installations. 

Attended by 30 members of the state security forces and corps, the talk explained how to identify an electrical installation, its topology, basic concepts of electricity, how an electrical current affects a human body, risks and prevention when working in electrical installations and possible actions in or around them. They also visited the Villímar electrical substation, owned by the company.

This training, organised by Safety and Resilience, i-DE and the National Police, within the framework of its bicentenary, was inaugurated by the government’s sub-delegate in Burgos, Pedro L. de la Fuente, the provincial commissioner, Jesús Nogales, the head of the company's grid business in Burgos and Soria, Roberto Rodríguez, and the territorial head of Safety Spain, Laureano Arias.

The training was then given by Óscar Pablos, from the i-DE Business. With this type of initiative, the company once again demonstrates its commitment to training, prevention and the responsibilities that derive from it, with the ultimate aim of making the state security forces and corps aware of a risk that is invisible to the untrained eye.

i-DE closes the year with its best value for quality of service

Iberdrola España's distribution company closed 2023 in Castilla y León with the best historical value in terms of service quality. The company manages more than 50,000 kilometres of power lines and has 15,697 transformer stations in service and 246 substations.

Recently it has undertaken an "ambitious" plan to digitise its electricity grids, converting its more than 1.5 million meters in the community and the infrastructure that supports them into smart meters, incorporating remote management, supervision and automation capabilities.

The digitisation of the electricity distribution grid will allow for more information to implement additional energy efficiency and sustainability measures in a way that is committed to ambitious and urgent climate action. The deployment of the smart grid makes it possible to respond to new models of grid use and offer the public better service.
