Energy Academy Spain

A program with history and a global vision

Energy Academy is the educational program of the Fundación EDP that promotes sustainability, the responsible use of energy, and the values of the energy transition among students and teachers.

• It was born in Brazil in 2002 as EDP nas Escolas (EDP in Schools)
• It arrived in Spain in 2010 as Viva Nuestra Energía, starting with a series of in-person workshops designed to help students better understand and become aware of the world and nature.
• It evolved in 2020 into Your Energy, a digital educational platform that expanded its reach and impact, making it accessible both locally and remotely for students from different regions of Spain.
• Today, it is Energy Academy, with a presence in Spain, Brazil, Portugal, Italy, and Poland.

• Renewable energy

How does it work?

We Choose the Earth Contest

One of the program’s most notable initiatives, aimed at students in the second and third cycles of primary education.

The challenge?

To propose ideas to improve sustainability within their own school.

The prize?

The installation of a solar power system, an electric charging station, or a sustainable project tailored to the school’s needs — valued at up to €5,000 and funded by the Fundación EDP.

Oviedo, Seville, and Algeciras have already hosted the contest’s award ceremonies.
