ZGR's strategic plan presents investments of 3.6 million euros until 2023, of which 2.4 million euros will be in technology and development of new products and the rest is destined for the connectivity and digitization of production means.
“ZGR is currently working on energy solutions that will help to significantly reduce our exclusive dependence on fossil fuels, as well as on certain markets that control them,” Segura explained to the representative of the Basque Government. In this regard, their new 1500V central modular inverter for medium- to large-scale photovoltaic plants, the new SMART MIT for electrical substations, and new solutions in monitoring and control, as well as grid quality, are already well advanced.
Furthermore, the CEO of ZGR has announced that “the company is developing new services that allow medium or small-sized photovoltaic plants to have technical advice in design and engineering, capable of adapting components to the characteristics of the installation, with the aim of achieving the most robust and efficient solutions on the market, as well as the highest productivity in its category, maximizing the investment from day one.”
Among our objectives is to position ZGR CORPORACIÓN as an "enabler of new business models, through the efficient use of technology in strategic areas such as smart distribution networks, storage, solar energy and grid quality," he adds.
Furthermore, Iñigo Segura has proposed, given the special circumstances, to the Basque Government's Minister for Economic Development, Sustainability and Environment to "promote energy communities based on renewable energies" - whose regulation has recently been approved because public support "could be key" for industrial parks or new housing developments.
He also advocated to Tapia for "promoting self-consumption in public infrastructures," university campuses, ports and airports, to name a few reference infrastructures.
Furthermore, Iñigo Segura conveyed to the Councillor the strategic importance of investing in human capital by promoting training plans in areas such as "advanced control systems, new communication systems, data analysis, the generation of Artificial Intelligence algorithms and Cybersecurity," while also emphasizing the importance of continuing to develop talent in new electronic power systems.
Faced with the current supply crisis affecting the industry, which is causing both price increases for components and raw materials and long delivery times, Iñigo Segura has proposed several ideas to the Regional Minister, including “promoting centralized purchasing among SMEs, supporting local suppliers to diversify their products and expand their reach to companies with potential synergies with their current clients, and promoting strategic alliances and cooperation agreements between companies.”.
