Red Eléctrica is a Spanish utility that operates the national transmission network and oversees the electrical system. Founded in 1985, it was the first company in the world dedicated exclusively to electricity transmission and system operation, and it has since held a leading role in these activities. The company is based in Alcobendas, in the Community of Madrid, and maintains a sizable workforce. In the industry, Red Eléctrica serves as Spain's transmission system operator and is recognized for establishing a model that separates transport from generation and distribution, a structure that has influenced liberalization in other countries. In 2026, it expanded its external collaborations, including a memorandum of understanding with EirGrid to explore potential future electricity interconnection between Ireland and Spain.
