At Genesal Energy, we are used to talking about energy, continuity of supply and ensuring that the power never goes out when it is needed most. However, on 12 August, there will be one exception that we are particularly excited about.

On that day, we will be able to witness the first total solar eclipse visible from the Iberian Peninsula in more than a century. This extraordinary astronomical phenomenon will be visible from different parts of Spain, including A Coruña, where our headquarters are located. We want our entire workforce to be able to enjoy this unique moment as safely as possible.

That is why we are once again joining forces with Afflelou to provide our employees with certified solar viewing glasses, completely free of charge. When it comes to caring for people, every detail matters, and eye health is also part of our commitment to our team’s wellbeing.

A different kind of ‘blackout’

If there is one thing that defines our work, it is preventing blackouts from happening. However, there is one blackout that is well worth experiencing. For a few minutes, the Moon will completely cover the Sun, offering us a truly unforgettable spectacle. A natural blackout that we want to enjoy with the peace of mind that comes from knowing we are doing so safely.

With this new initiative, we are strengthening a partnership based on a shared objective: promoting people’s wellbeing through practical actions that help protect their health.

This initiative reflects an approach to caring for people that extends beyond the workplace. We want everyone who is part of Genesal Energy to experience this historic event with the same safety and confidence that we bring to every project and every challenge we face in our day-to-day work.

A partnership that continues to grow

This is not the first time we have collaborated with Afflelou on initiatives related to eye health. In 2023, we took a pioneering step by becoming the first company in Spain to join its Protect Plan. Thanks to this agreement, our employees were able to access eye examinations, glasses or contact lenses, as well as blue-light-filtering lenses to help prevent the eye strain associated with prolonged screen use.

With this new initiative, we are strengthening a partnership based on a shared objective: promoting people’s wellbeing through practical actions that help protect their health. On this occasion, our focus is on an exceptional event.

The energy supply is one of those elements that rarely becomes the centre of attention… until it is no longer available. In the healthcare sector, however, that possibility is simply not part of the equation. Hospitals, clinics and medical centres depend on a continuous power supply to guarantee something far more important than their own operations: patient safety and the continuity of healthcare activity in situations where every second has a real impact.

At Genesal Energy, we understand this reality through the responsibility that comes with working for critical infrastructures, which is why we place reliability at the heart of everything we do.
We speak of “essential reliability” because we believe that backup power cannot be regarded as a complementary or secondary system within a hospital. In reality, it is a structural component that supports the operation of key areas and must respond immediately and without margin for error in the event of any incident. This approach leads us to design solutions that, in addition to meeting technical requirements, are intended to integrate naturally into environments where demands are at their highest and tolerance for failure is non-existent.

Designed with every second in mind

Our way of addressing this challenge begins with bespoke engineering. Every healthcare infrastructure has its own characteristics, from its electrical configuration to the type of activity it carries out, and this requires a specific response for each project. That is why we develop and manufacture energy solutions capable of adapting to complex architectures and guaranteeing supply to especially sensitive areas such as operating theatres, intensive care units, laboratories and diagnostic systems. It is not simply about ensuring that a system works, but about ensuring that it does so with the precision and reliability required in an environment where any interruption may have critical consequences.

Preparation, response and integration

In this context, the ability to anticipate and respond is essential. Our solutions incorporate automatic start-up systems in the event of mains failure, redundant configurations that ensure permanent availability, and monitoring tools that enable continuous supervision of the installation status. All of this is combined with a design approach focused on integration within the hospital environment, where aspects such as sound attenuation play an important role in ensuring that the technology coexists with healthcare activity without causing disruption.

Hospitals, clinics and medical centres depend on a continuous power supply to guarantee something far more important than their own operations: patient safety and the continuity of healthcare activity in situations where every second has a real impact.

At the same time, we understand that the future of the healthcare sector also involves moving towards more efficient and sustainable models. That is why we incorporate ecodesign criteria into the development of our equipment, applying methodologies certified under ISO 14006 that allow us to reduce environmental impact from the design phase onwards while covering the entire product life cycle. This approach enables us to respond to the sector’s growing sustainability requirements without ever compromising the reliability or availability of the power supply.

A vision built on real experience

Our understanding of energy within the healthcare sector is shaped by the experience accumulated through projects developed across different countries and contexts. In this regard, we have worked with hospitals and healthcare centres in Spain, the United Kingdom and Germany within Europe, as well as in Bolivia and Ecuador in Latin America, and in the Caribbean, specifically in Trinidad and Tobago.
This accumulated expertise allows us to continue refining our solutions with one clear and constant objective: to always be ready to respond when it truly matters.

The need to process, store and ensure continuous access to digital information has made data centres a cornerstone of today’s economy and energy reliability plays a decisive role.

Genesal Energy is part of this transformation. We are attending DataCloud Global Congress 2026, one of the leading international meeting points for the sector, taking place from the 2nd to the 4th June at the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès in Cannes.

The event will bring together some of the most relevant players in the data centre ecosystem, from design and engineering specialists to operations and maintenance professionals in digital infrastructure. It is an ideal setting to share our perspective on the role of energy in high-demand environments, where ensuring operational continuity is essential.

Energy tailored to critical environments

We are attending alongside our technology partner Baudouin, which shares our comprehensive approach and focus on adaptation to each specific environments when tackling the most demanding projects.

From stand 28, we will showcase how we understand energy in critical infrastructures. We do not believe in standard solutions, but in engineering capable of anticipating, adapting and responding to increasingly complex requirements. Because every project is unique—and so should be the solution behind it.

This approach is fully aligned with principles such as eco-design, energy performance optimisation and compatibility with alternative fuels such as HVO, integrating efficiency and sustainability into every project. The goal goes beyond ensuring supply: it is about doing so intelligently, efficiently and in line with the sector’s evolving demands.

International experience on the ground

Our presence at DataCloud is also an opportunity to share our journey. We will highlight how we have delivered large-scale international projects, from data centres in Northern Europe and key interconnection infrastructures between Ireland and France, to remote environments in Norway where energy reliability makes the difference between operating… or stopping.

The need to process, store and ensure continuous access to digital information has made data centres a cornerstone of today’s economy.

Each generator set designed, manufactured, tested and delivered is part of a project that reinforces the idea guiding our work: being where we are needed most, ensuring that energy never fails—even in the most demanding conditions.

Cannes is an opportunity to listen, learn and contribute to an evolving sector. As the digital future is built on reliable energy, Genesal Energy works every day to be part of that foundation. Guaranteeing solutions that support growth, innovation and transformation.
