i-DE, Iberdrola España’s distribution company, trains the Soria National Police to act in situations of risk in electrical installations

• The aim is to assist members of the state security forces to be aware of dangers that are invisible to the untrained eye.

i-DE, Iberdrola España's distribution company, has given the National Police in Soria a technical seminar on the risks and safety measures for the work that its members may have to carry out in the event of an emergency, incident or theft in electrical installations or in their vicinity. The trainers for the session were from the company’s technical units as well as its prevention personnel.

During the training day, which was attended by 36 members of the state security forces, there were explanations covering the identification of an electrical installation, their topology, basic concepts about electricity, the effects of electric current on the human body, risks and prevention when carrying out work at electrical installations, and possible actions inside them or in their vicinity. There was also a visit to the company's transformation centers.

This training session – which was organized by Seguridad y Resiliencia, i-DE and the National Police, within the framework of the latter’s Bicentenary celebrations – was inaugurated by the National Police commissioner in Soria, Francisco Moñux, and the territorial head of Seguridad España, Laureano Arias. José Manuel Calvo, the head of the Soria Sector of i-DE, and Montserrat Cadarso, head of i-DE prevention, were in charge of giving the training.

With this type of initiative, the company has once again shown its commitment to training, prevention and the responsibilities that derive from it, with the ultimate aim that the State Security Forces and Corps learn to detect risks that are invisible to the untrained eye.

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

i-DE closed 2023 in Castilla y León with the best historical value in quality of service. The company manages more than 50,000 kilometers of power lines and has 15,697 transformer stations in service and 246 substations.

In recent years it has undertaken an “ambitious” plan to digitalize its electricity networks, where it has converted 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 digitization of the electricity distribution grid will enable 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 will make it possible to respond to new models of grid use and offer a better service to citizens.
