Velatia\u2019s vice-president, Alejandro Ormazabal, stressed the vital importance of a smart networks investment strategy during the 5th<\/sup> Basque Industry Forum<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Society is facing a unique challenge that is arguably more important than ever: decarbonising the economy in order to curb climate change. This assertion was the starting point of the speech delivered by Alejandro Ormazabal, Vice-President of Velatia, during the 5th<\/sup> Basque Industry Forum, organised by the elEconomista newspaper<\/a> on Friday 23 April in Bilbao. Alongside Velatia\u2019s vice-president, other prominent Basque business world figures invited to speak were Asis Canales, director of purchasing and insurance at Iberdrola, and Mar\u00eda Elisa Arroyo, director of ESG at Kutxabank.<\/p>\n

The round table discussion, moderated by elEconomista editor-in-chief Amador G. Ayora, served to highlight the crucial importance of transforming industry in the Basque Country towards a sustainable production model that is firmly committed to a \u201cmore sustainable, more renewable and smarter\u201d economy, as stated by Arantxa Tapia, the Basque Government\u2019s Minister for Economic Development, Sustainability and the Environment during her opening speech.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Along the same lines, Alejandro Ormazabal was keen to stress the importance of committing to renewable, efficient and sustainable technologies<\/a>, an area in which Velatia has more than fifty years of experience. \u201cWe are going to decarbonise and for that we need smart grids, renewable energy and ultra-fast charging of electric vehicles. In relation to decarbonisation, the future depends on our fulfilling climate commitments,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

There is no way such commitments can be undertaken without an electricity grid that is ready to adapt to e-vehicle use and the ever-increasing adoption of multi-point renewable generation sources. These are just two of the issues that have taken only a few years to go from being incipient trends to unmistakable realities.<\/p>\n
