Smart Grids Academy

A project focused on training in smart grids
and sponsored by Gaia, Euskadi ICTA Cluster.


GAIA, Euskadi ICTA Cluster, promotes Smart Grids Academy (SGA), a training project for smart grids that is part of the “Bizkaia with the talent” initiative and that has been developed in collaboration with the Bizkaia Provincial Council and Iberdrola's Global Smart Grids Innovation HUB. 


The objective of the Smart Grids Academy is to address the urgent need for specific talent for the energy transformation towards smart grids, and its requirements for technological and digital skills.

The availability of qualified professional talent is essential to the development of smart grids and the transition to a more sustainable and efficient energy model.


To this end, Smart Grids Academy offers a comprehensive training program that encompasses the knowledge and skills needed to work in the smart grid industry.
