With the participation of Hidralia and the City Council of Granada the Board of Directors of Municipal Water Company of Granada (Emasagra) has approved the company’s roadmap for advancing in the generation of green electricity, decarbonization, and combating climate change.
Francis Cuenca, president of Emasagra and mayor of the City, stated that Emasagra is now an avant-garde company in its sector of reference: management of the Integral water cycle to improve citizens’ quality of life.
It has been able to anticipate the realities of its environment and provide innovative solutions and actions aimed towards energy efficiency both biofactories and in other processes, such as collection, purification, and supply. He added:
The Board of Directors of Emasagra also visited the Water and Climate Crisis Intelligence Center in Lancha del Genil Potable Water Treatment Station.
Emasagra’s strong commitment to innovation is represented by the Center. All services from it will be deployed to finalize and consolidate the digital transformation in water management and the environment health of territories. In this case, Granada and its surrounding metropolitan areas. The Center promotes the development of smart, resilient, green municipalities and with a clear focus upon people who ultimately are at the heart of company decision-making. Emasagra is now a part of Dinapsis, an international network of digital transformation centers promoted by Agbar (the municipal company’s private partner).
The company’s success model, which is based on public-private partnership, was recognized internationally at the World Water Congress. The company’s Board of Director has established a strategic line that is based on digitization and sustainability, and plans to make significant advances in green energy generation and decarbonization in order to be more energy-resilient.
Climate change is a shared challenge. There are many reasons to be vigilant and work together with Emasagra in achieving the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
These objectives are applicable to the entire territory in which the company is located, including the capital and 14 towns within the metropolitan area. They will encourage the use of renewable energy and energy efficiency, and encourage the regeneration of green spaces in all affected municipalities. They will help Emasagra reduce its carbon footprint and allow it to move forward with its comprehensive decarbonization program.
