Elewit decided to invest through its corporate venture capital (CVC) in HESStec because of its innovative character addressing the main challenges of the new energy model, focused on decarbonization, renewable energies, energy efficiency, storage, sustainable mobility and circular economy.

Elewit, Redeia-s technology platform, is always searching for disruptive solutions to impact the energy and telecommunications sectors. As drivers of change and catalysts of innovation, they invest through their Corporate Venture Capital in early-stage startups with strategic impact on the group.

One of the electrical hazards that must be taken into consideration to ensure safe working conditions for Redeia's technical equipment is arcing. These are usually generated by a short circuit and can happen anywhere electrical equipment is connected. An electric arc is, in short, a continuous electric discharge of high current flowing through an air gap between conductors. To prevent such discharges, electrical insulators are used: materials capable of preventing or slowing the flow of electric current.
