eks Energy is now part of the Hitachi Group and our logo has changed to reflect this great news. 

As we already told you months ago, we are now a Hitachi group company. At the beginning of the year we began to integrate into Hitachi Energy, a great company that is helping us grow and face new challenges. As part of the integration process within Hitachi Energy, our logo has also evolved and now includes the claim “A Hitachi Group Company”. 

With this change in our logo we want to show what we are now, remember that we are part of the Hitachi group, and therefore show it in our logo, which is our greatest hallmark. 

This week at Intersolar we will show our new logo both in the space we will have there, booth B3. 379 in which we will be happy to receive you, as in all our technical and promotional material. 

We are very satisfied to work with the great human team at Hitachi Energy, who is accompanying us throughout the entire integration process and is helping us achieve much more ambitious goals. 

We are confident that together with Hitachi Energy we will shape the energy of tomorrow and help our customers find the perfect solution to their needs

Our Director of Processes and Quality was interviewed during the STEM WOMEN event and tells us about her role within eks Energy

At eks Energy we are always committed to promoting female talent and the best ambassador of our company in this aspect is our Director of Processes and Quality, Mª Carmen Tenor. She is one of the key figures within our management committee, she is the guarantor that everything we do at eks Energy has quality standards in line with the level of our clients and the projects in which we participate.

As we already told you, eks Energy participated in STEM WOMEN a few weeks ago and during the event they had the opportunity to tell us more about what day-to-day life is like in their position and what role we want STEM talent to play within eks Energy. All this without losing sight of the fact that we have the mission of being a relevant actor in stopping climate change by promoting the massive use of renewable energy thanks to our renewable energy integration systems, as she explains perfectly during the interview.

What Tenor values ​​most about his job is how easy it is to carry it out thanks to the good atmosphere that exists within the company and the professionalism of all the people who make up eks Energy. In addition, his position has great transversality and he is aware of all the processes that occur in all departments, which helps him to have a global vision of the company that few can enjoy. Participating in problem solving, implementing new initiatives, ensuring the quality of eks Energy products and the satisfaction of our customers are just some of the tasks that pose the challenges of being the guarantor of quality in a company that aims to mark the difference in the fight against climate change.

Without a doubt, at eks Energy we are very proud to have this STEM woman who “supports other STEM women to create a world in which diversity supports technology and equality is the norm”, as she herself explains in the video.

Our growth has been motivated, to a large extent, by the fact that we have provided our team with an attractive and flexible work environment where they can develop all their skills and abilities, both personal and professional.

At eks Energy we have a talent management team specialized in the search and selection of the most qualified profiles and, at the same time, aligned with our culture and values. Their work is more than relevant, as they represent a vital element for our growth as a company, but also for the well-being of all the people who make up our team. This area promotes initiatives and benefit plans that have a direct and positive impact on people, which guarantees an unbeatable environment that generates a high degree of belonging to the organization.

The company has historically promoted high levels of labor flexibility, including mixed office and telecommuting work, in addition to having implemented attractive social benefits packages. All these initiatives are specially designed so that someone who starts working at eks Energy can notice a change in his or her life and feel comfortable while developing as a professional, being able to exploit his or her best version to grow without limits.

In addition, one of the areas of focus for our Human Resources team is to promote campaigns to encourage female talent. Among other initiatives, to promote the presence of women in technical careers, we are giving talks in high schools where female students can see the enormous possibilities that their future career offers them.

To this end, we show examples of women who, within eks Energy, have developed personally and professionally, being able to access high-level technical and management positions. We have also taken part in employment promotion days, such as “Let’s get a job”, organized by ESTIEM at the University of Seville; “Job Ven” at the University of Huelva; the Job Fair at the University of Malaga and the 2023 Linking Week at the University of Baja California in the United States.

But our support for female talent is not limited to providing information, as we encourage the subscription of scholarships and financial aid that can be accessed by female students of any engineering degree, which are directly financed by eks Energy.

In the last two years eks Energy has doubled its workforce, this is largely due to our technical capabilities that enable us to opt for a greater number of projects, but, above all, to the human team that confirms it. In our strategic plan, human capital is one of the key pieces, people with talent and active attitude are more than welcome. We have more and more open positions to fill, so the growth expectations are exponential, by 2023 we plan to cover 76 positions, which makes us have a staff in continuous growth.

This is another of the main tasks of our Human Resources team, to detect talent among all the candidates that come to us, to find profiles that have the potential to develop in an international environment, of continuous improvement, in which they can put all their knowledge and apply it so that we can achieve the ambitious goals that we are going to reach as a team.

We currently have two offices in Seville, one of them recently inaugurated in Torre Sevilla, one of the most emblematic buildings in the city. The bulk of our staff is located there, although we are also expecting important incorporations with the new opening of offices in Miami (United States) and Melbourne (Australia).

In eks Energy we are reaching record business figures, thanks to the development of the new activities derived from the integration with POWIN, we estimate to reach 300M USD in revenues by the end of 2025. In addition to this revenue growth, we continue to work on expanding our production capacity. By the end of 2025 we estimate that we will have more than 8 GW/year. Another major breakthrough will come from the approval of new factories, two of them located in India and the USA, which will be added to those we already have in Spain and South Africa.

In short, after 20 years of hard work, eks Energy has managed to consolidate its position as a worldwide reference in the design and development of products and solutions related to renewable energy generation, as well as its management, control and storage.

Our team has visited Intersolar 2023, the largest event in the sector and a fantastic opportunity to strengthen ties with clients and meet new companies that represent opportunities to continue growing.

After having attended InterSolar 2023, we can say that it has been a complete success. Three days of inspiring conferences and a multitude of fruitful meetings in which we have had contact with collaborators from all over the world are the best proof that it has been an unbeatable edition. Inter Solar Munich has hosted stands of more than 2,469 companies from 57 countries showcasing their products and solutions. The venue had more than 17 pavilions, with a total area of ​​17,000 m², including outdoor areas, and has had more than 106,000 visitors from 166 countries, it is one of the most massive events in the sector worldwide.

At eks Energy we attended with a large part of our team to meet with customers and suppliers at the Powin stand, who was a wonderful host. Between the two teams we received dozens of visits and held meetings with potential clients and some with whom we have been working for a long time, from which projects and new alliances emerged. We also took time to catch up on industry news and say hello to competitors who were there as well.

There is no doubt that the renewable energy and storage sector is booming and it is important to keep abreast of developments and share our advances on a technical level to maintain our position internationally.

The transition towards a cleaner use of energy is an inevitable process in which we want to be a key element. And thanks to events like Inter Solar and our partner Powin we have been able to have the necessary visibility to continue growing and developing as a company.

A few days ago we celebrated several important milestones for our company. The most important of all is that we have more than 20 years of experience. But we are also celebrating the inauguration of wonderful offices in Torre Sevilla, which are a reflection of the growth we have experienced over these 20 years.

Our company was founded under the name of Green Power, under the shelter of the University of Seville more than two decades ago. Since then, we have devoted ourselves to working hard always with our values ​​very present, with commitment, trust, excellence, exclusivity, a great value of knowledge and optimizing processes to guarantee profitability.

We were pioneers in our land, creating a project that is based on the development of clean energy. A highly sustainable project with an international vocation that in 2009 led us to be present in half the world. The internationalization of our solutions catapulted us towards new and ambitious horizons that we managed to cross to become one of the main players in the sector internationally.

And the successes continued, in 2012 we placed ourselves in the top 5 in the sector thanks to the launch of our WD platform. This milestone positioned us as an international benchmark in terms of grid connection solutions and energy storage systems.

The company evolved naturally and this led us to a new change of course, the end of a stage in which we called ourselves GP Tech and the birth of a new and exciting project, eks Energy. A renewed company, which is born with new hopes, but which maintains the spirit from which it emerged.

eks Energy represents commitment and exclusivity, but at the same time it is global and owes its success to all the people who are part of the project. It is made up of a diverse team, highly prepared and implicated in the project, thanks to which we have achieved all the challenges that we have set for ourselves as a company and without which we could not be experiencing the moment of growth and prosperity that we are going through.

For this reason, we wanted to celebrate this 20th anniversary with all of them. La Torre Sevilla, headquarters of our new offices, witnessed a wonderful evening that, in addition to our entire team, was enjoyed by some collaborators who have accompanied us throughout our career.

Special mention to Juan Manuel Carrasco and Eduardo Galván who were a fundamental piece for the creation of our company and whom we recognized with a small detail of gratitude for having been a fundamental piece for eks Energy, whatever it is today.

Now all that remains is to look to the future, which brings us new challenges that we look forward to. Challenges such as managing talent, moving towards sustainability and ensuring that our operations and development are friendly to the environment, social rights and good governance. All this while maintaining excellence with the focus always on innovation.

Thanks to all of you who have made possible these 20 years of work that have made us eks Energy, a global company of solutions that will shape the energy of tomorrow.
