The Endesa Foundation made 111 renewable power plants accessible to schools to foster knowledge of the world of energy among young people

Visita de jóvenes a centrales renovables.
  • Educational visits to renewable energy facilities were a pioneering initiative that the Endesa Foundation launched more than two decades ago.
  • The schools can make use of 111 facilities: 26 wind farms, 15 solar farms and 70 hydroelectric power plants, which are open for visits by prior e-mail reservation through endesaeduca@fundacionendesa.org. These visits aim to help young people learn more about an activity that has become such an important part of today's society.

With the 2022/2023 academic year in full swing, the Endesa Foundation has once again fired up its free educational visits to Endesa's renewable energy facilities, part of the Enel Green Power España division, for school groups throughout Spain. As always, this year's initiative has already proved to be a success, as reservations and visitor numbers reached full capacity at many of the visitable power plants in Spain, attesting to how interested young people are in understanding and learning about the world of energy.

The Endesa Foundation has allocated 111 facilities for school visits: 26 wind farms, 15 solar farms and 70 hydroelectric power plants. Each visit lasts approximately an hour and a half, and addresses students in ESO + Bachillerato (compulsory and elective secondary education), vocational training centres and Universities from all over the country.

The Endesa Foundation created this initiative to afford our young generations a first-hand learning experience, through dynamic and fun educational activities focused on the world of energy, how it is generated, how power plants work, their main safety measures and the indispensable work of the professionals who work in them every day. The initiative also seeks to foster the development of students' communication, mathematical, scientific and technological skills.

This programme dates back more than two decades. Since the start of this academic year, over 800 students have already passed through Endesa's plants and roughly 1,700 are expected to do so by June 2023.
