I-DE, Iberdrola España's distribution company, carried out its annual emergency drill in the western region (Extremadura and Castilla y León), designed to assess the response to extreme weather with strong winds causing incidents with overhead lines in the region.


The exercise made it possible to verify the effectiveness of the protocols and the coordination of more than 100 people, including in-house staff and contractors, ensuring a rapid and efficient response if the Emergency Plan were activated in real life.


During the drill, the reaction time and response of each unit involved was monitored to automate processes and improve operations in real life situations. Critical systems such as satellite telephones were verified and proposals to optimise the action plan incorporated.


The deployment included field teams, special vehicles and generators, simulating the measures necessary to make sure service is back online as soon as possible and ensure the safety and coordination of personnel.

Commitment to quality and prevention in Extremadura

I-DE runs annual drills to ensure the effectiveness of the Emergency Plan, which allows for fast incident resolution and guarantees the highest quality electricity supply to customers in Extremadura in particular and the western region in general.


i-DE manages more than 10,600 km of low and medium voltage lines and more than 2,000 km of high and very high voltage lines in Extremadura.
