Redeia Forest

In 2009 we launched the Redeia Forest, a project that contributes to the fight against climate change through the planting of trees and, at the same time, the conservation of a natural area rich in biodiversity or the recovery of a degraded natural area.

Each year we help to reforest degraded areas in publicly owned land in different geographical areas nationwide, seeking the collaboration of various public bodies and organisations that work in this field.

By means of this project, Red Eléctrica offsets a part of its CO2 emissions, collaborates on biodiversity conservation and contributes to the development of the local economies through reforestation works that are carried out by local companies and organisations in the vicinity of the project.

Since the start of the project, the company has contributed to the recovery of 21 forests in Spain. In 2023, 40,724 trees and shrubs (pine, chestnut tree, oak, birch, poplar, ash tree, hawthorn, and others) have been planted in 47.8 ha in the provinces of Lugo, Orense and Pontevedra and 8 ha in San Fernando de Henares (Madrid).
