EDP's power stations in Spain receive more than 3,600 visitors

EDP’s programme of visits to its production sites remains strong. The company's sites across Asturias attracted more than 3,600 visitors in 2025.

The power stations visited were the hydroelectric plants at La Malva, La Barca, Proaza, Miranda, Tanes and Salime (Saltos del Navia), and the thermal power stations at Soto de Ribera and Aboño.

Visitors included engineering students who wanted to learn more about electricity-generation processes, architects interested in the design of the power stations, energy transition experts from other countries seeking first-hand inisght into Spain's decarbonisation plans and EDP as a benchmark. Individual visitors also took the opportunity to explore an industrial site of cultural interest, thanks to its remarkable architectural, sculptural and pictorial components, and to discover how the electricity that powers their homes is generated.

Guided tours of La Malva were particularly popular, with more than 1,500 people visiting both the operational turbine hall and the museum and historical area. This programme of visits to the power station was launched in 2018, following its centenary, and runs Tuesday–Sunday, from Easter (Holy Week, March/April) through to Epiphany (Three Kings’ Day, 6 January) of the following year. Since the programme’s launch, 11,500 people have expressed interest in visiting the site.

Visits can be booked via the company's website (in the case of Salime, via the Saltos del Navia website). This year, the tours will resume in late March to coincide with Holy Week (Easter)..

The programme of visits is part of the company's social responsibility initiatives and aims at establishing close, open and transparent relationship with local communities. These tours provide an in-depth insight into the company's activities and the different processes involved in electricity generation.
