Tecinsa has consolidated itself as a service provider company for the development of the energy transition. Over the last few years, the company from Salamanca has carried out the turnkey assembly work for electrical substations of energy evacuation from different Iberdrola wind farms and photovoltaic plants in Spain, such as those in Sierra de Dueña, in Salamanca, Radona, in Soria, and Nuñez de Balboa and Cedillo, in Extremadura. Its activity with Iberdrola has served to promote development in rural areas.
Asís Canales, director of People and Services at Iberdrola, and Ainara de Elejoste, head of the Office of the Secretary of the Board of Directors of the company, have presented Manuel José Peña, manager of Tecinsa, during the course of an event held in the capital of Bilbao the award as one of the Suppliers of the Year for the quality in the execution of its work, strict compliance with delivery deadlines and its commitment to safety and the environment. Ignacio Galán began by conveying his support and that of the Iberdrola family to the companies affected by last week’s tragedy in Valencia. “Technicians from all over Spain, from Euskadi, Extremadura, Madrid, Castilla y León, La Rioja, Castilla La Mancha… More than 500 people got to work from the first moment. Thanks to our suppliers and our teams “We have managed to give light to many affected people in record time.”he stated.
Iberdrola is committed to its alliance with local suppliers with the aim of moving towards the decarbonization of the planet. This commitment is accompanied by economic growth and job creation in the areas where it carries out its clean energy projects. The energy transition is already an opportunity to bring wealth to the territories and it is important to expedite permissions for the development of facilities linked to the green transition.
The company also exerts an important driving effect wherever it reaches, inducing the company’s purchases at a global level and developing a number of jobs that multiplies its own workforce by more than 10. Thus, the vast majority of purchases of materials, equipment, works and services are contracted from local suppliers, many of them SMEs.
Highly qualified local suppliers
The Salamanca company Tecinsa recently installed a pioneering substation transported from Italy at the Iberdrola Cedillo photovoltaic installation. To avoid using large areas of land, the company counted on the company from Salamanca to carry out the installation of an encapsulated substation of only 300 m2, compared to the 10,000 m2 of land that usually require infrastructure of these characteristics. Made in Italy, it had to be transported by boat from Venice to Seville across the waters of the Guadalquivir and, from there, it traveled through Andalusia and Extremadura in large trucks.
In addition, Tecinsa will be in charge of the civil works and building the substation – 400 kV – and the electrical infrastructure that will regulate the appropriate voltage levels for the transmission and distribution of the electrical energy generated in the photovoltaic plant that Iberdrola will deploy in the town. Salamanca from Ciudad Rodrigo.
