La Granja Insulators will be participating once again at the 49th edition of Middle East Energy 2024
From April 16th to the 18th, La Granja Insulators will be participating once again at the 49th edition of Middle East Energy 2024, where the future of sustainable energy comes to life, taking place in the Dubai World Trade Centre.
With over 1,300 energy exhibitors from across the globe, Middle East Energy is the most extensive energy exhibition and conference in the region. Discover the newest innovations in energy products and smart solutions.
Middle East Energy continues to connect the global energy community, allowing you to network with La Granja Insulators and discover products and solutions that are changing the energy landscape.
Energy has to be transported over long distances and integrated into existing transmission networks. Conventional power grids have to now integrate and take into consideration the excess power generated locally to ensure that the grid can safely absorb the distributed energy resources. This is why a stable, reliable, and in today’s world, intelligent transmission and distribution system is needed.
Digitalization can reduce energy usage by around 15% by utilizing real-time data to enhance operational efficiency, as demonstrated by smart structures. Energy suppliers are the largest industry that has the most to gain from the adoption of smart technologies. In addition to lowering production costs, the adoption of smart technologies—such as data analytics and smart sensors—also helps to prevent equipment breakdowns, enhancing worker’s health and safety.
At Middle East Energy, find out how the use of smart insulators offered by La Granja Insulators is a key enabler in the transition to a low-carbon energy system. We look forward to this event and welcome all our partners and customers to visit our booth: H2.E19.

Why La Granja’s name? La Granja, a location with a high responsibility
LaGranja Insulators was given its name because of the emblematic place where our factory is located: The town of La Granja de San Ildefonso, in Segovia, Spain.
Not only has it played a key role in the history of glass manufacturing, but it is also located in a unique protected environment.
The Real Sitio de San Ildelfonso is one of Unesco´s 701 Biosphere Reserves around the world. These protected areas must fulfil a commitment to the preservation and protection of species, ecosystems and landscapes; in addition to developing and promoting sustainable, economic and human progress. Besides, it is required to support research, education and permanent observation activities related to preservation and sustainable development.
This is a major challenge when it comes to integrating industrial activity and our commitments to the planet; but far from finding it a problem, we are proud to demonstrate that an environmentally responsible industrial activity is possible, and that nature and industry can coexist in harmony.
