Our history

180 years in the energy sector

How have we evolved to the present day?

In 2023, we commemorated our 180 years of history, in addition to 5 years of the Naturgy brand and the Nedgia brand.

It was a very special moment to feel the power of the energy that unites all of us who are part of this great company and drives us every day to continue transforming.
 
 

2018, an iconic year for the company

Some interesting information

Nedgia, a brand for the gas distribution business in Spain

Nedgia was also launched in 2018 as the new brand for all gas distribution activity by the Naturgy group in Spain , marking the beginning of a new era focused on business growth and transformation to bring about added well-being.
NEDGIA combines two concepts that are fundamental for the company: the innovation that comes hand in hand with the experience and solvency gained from being a part of the Naturgy energy group and the development of natural gas expansion throughout Spain over the last 25 years.
Following the launch of the new brand, the different companies that distribute gas have kept the regional and historic names of the territories in which they operate, while incorporating Nedgia as part of their new name. This represents the globality of distributed power and the immense network used to distribute it efficiently and easily, and is also associated with the energy context, development and connections.

Milestones injection of RM into Nedgia’s network

July 2023
Injection of 27 GWh/year of biomethane into the grid from the Anaerobic Digestion and Composting Plant of the CGRVO and the Granollers Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) of the Besòs Tordera Consortium, in Barcelona, equivalent to the consumption of 4,800 homes, avoiding the emission of 9,700 tonnes of CO2 per year.
June 2023
Injection of biomethane into the urban waste distribution network from the Can Mata controlled deposit, located in Els Hostalets de Pierola (Barcelona). Capacity of 70 GWh/year of biomethane, equivalent to the consumption of 14,000 homes, avoiding the emission of 17,000 tonnes of CO2 per year.
January 2022
Injection into Nedgia’s network of 5 GWh/year of biomethane from the Bens Wastewater Treatment Plant (A Coruña).
December 2021
Injection of 30 GWh/year from the Torre Santamaría farm, located in Vallfogona de Balaguer (Lleida), into the Nedgia network, whose waste is obtained from livestock waste. It will avoid the emission of 6,000 tonnes of CO2/year into the atmosphere, equivalent to planting some 12,510 trees.
September 2021
Injection of biomethane using biogas generated from agro-industrial waste in Burgos. Biogasnalia Plant (UNUE Project). 25 GWh per year, avoiding the emission of 4,500 tonnes of CO2.
June 2021
Injection of biomethane produced from municipal waste in Cerdanyola del Vallès (Barcelona). First biogas plant in Catalonia, Elena plant. Injection capacity of 15 GWh/year, avoiding the emission of 2,400 tonnes of CO2.
2019
The first project to inject renewable gas into Nedgia's distribution network, from the Butarque Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) in Madrid, has started. The annual injection capacity was estimated at 5 GWh and the initiative avoided the emission of 1,270 tonnes of CO2/year into the atmosphere.
It has been 50 years since we began the distribution and expansion of natural gas in Spain.

We continue to innovate and write our history thanks to you.
