Collaboration with local government for recovery and improvement of green spaces.

Red Eléctrica collaborates with local communities where its facilities are located through actions for conservation of their natural environment, with the aim of promoting sustainable rural development and biodiversity conservation.

Red Eléctrica has been collaborating with Mequinenza Town Council since 2017 on conditioning the part in the province of Aragon of Aiguabarreig, a natural space classed as a Special Bird Protection Area (ZEPA from its initials in Spanish), as well as on providing it with a bird observatory.

The work involves the clearing of an area of 1,000 m² of the reed thickets the birds use to breed, as well as cropping these plants in the channels. Sediments will also be removed in areas where clogging processes have been detected.

In 2018, Red Eléctrica began a collaboration with the Government of the Balearic Islands to promote and disseminate good marine anchoring practices with the aim of preventing damage to Posidonia oceanica seagrass and also to submarine power cables.

This collaboration, lasting until October 2019 and covering two tourist seasons, follows on from the activities carried out in 2017. The project is called “Campaign for the dissemination of good practices in the field of marine anchoring of pleasure craft in relation to Posidonia oceanica or submarine cables during the summer season”.

The collaboration includes the publishing of 35,000 pamphlets to be distributed in the Balearic Islands’ main ports and nautical clubs. Published in five languages (Catalan, Spanish, English, German and Italian) and in water-resistant biodegradable material, the aim of the pamphlet is to remind boat users of standards for anchoring at sea and inform them of the importance of Posidonia oceanica in the conservation of coastal systems and of the submarine electrical links to guarantee the electricity supply and telecommunications

Red Eléctrica collaborated with the Government of Extremadura in 2018 to perform actions contributing to the recovery and conservation of orchids in the area known as El Sierro, in Almaraz, especially of Ophrys apifera var. almaracensis.

This species of orchid is unique in the world and its future viability is threatened due to its exclusive concentration in an area of little more than 11 hectares. It is also very vulnerable to changes in its habitat and to the despoiling it suffers.

Environmental education activities and studies of the various plant species, especially orchids, were also carried out within the framework of this project, involving people in the area with the conservation of their natural environment.

For the third year running, Red Eléctrica collaborated in 2018 with Ribera de Arriba Town Council in the outdoor speed painting contest which is held annually in the municipality in Asturias with the theme of granaries and landscapes.

The objective of the event, always held on the last Saturday of October, is to showcase the setting of the municipality to promote culture and education among neighbours. The particular feature is that the painting must be completed in just a few hours: between nine in the morning and one in the afternoon. Subsequently, commemorative calendars, folders of plates and QR codes relating to the contest are published.

Red Eléctrica collaborated in April 2019 in the 6^th Doñana International Bird Fair, held in the Dehesa de Abajo Natural Reserve, in Puebla del Río (Seville) to promote the future of birdwatching tourism and nature and showcase the area’s sustainable development.

Red Eléctrica has been sponsoring this event since its creation in 2014. It includes talks and exhibitions, as well as outdoor activities such as guided tours through Doñana and the marshes of the river Guadalquivir.

In addition, the fair had over forty stands where you could buy products related to birdwatching and, fundamentally, there were specialised travel offers to see birds in the wild throughout Andalusia, Spain, Europe and other parts of the world.

This edition was attended by some 4,000 domestic and international enthusiasts and birdwatchers.

Red Eléctrica has been collaborating with the Consell Comarcal del Gironès (Girona Regional Council) since 2014 to support the activities of the Escola de Music of the Gironès (Girona School of Music), so that the music, knowledge and musical training reaches all the towns in the area, especially the regions’ youngest people.

With its contribution, Red Eléctrica has participated in implementing a virtual school, by developing various applications; in acquiring and replacing classroom materials; in purchasing instruments for early-level students; and in organising educational outings for instrumental learning. A circuit of collective shows and actions travelling around the whole district was also designed for the school’s various musical ensembles.
