About Greenalia

Greenalia is a Spanish company based in A Coruña specialising in the provision of thermal energy services from biofuels. Founded more than 20 years ago, its origins were in the forestry sector and it later expanded its activity to the energy industry to follow the roadmap set by Europe towards the so-called "low-carbon economy". Since then, the Greenalia Group has managed to position itself as one of the leaders in Spain in the green economy. The group has 5 business lines:

• Electricity: Greenalia Power is present in this sector as a promoter and producer exclusively in renewable technologies, with relevant activity in two of them, biomass, where it aspires to be a national benchmark, and wind power. It has 268 MW of power under development in Spain, in the main forestry and wind power production areas.
• Thermal energy: Greenalia Heating & Cooling is dedicated to the production of thermal energy (heating and cooling) exclusively from biofuels (pellets and dry woodchips).
• Industrial: Greenalia Industry specialises in the production of biofuels (pellets and dry woodchips) which are subsequently consumed, in part, in thermal generation facilities (heating and cooling).
• Logistics: Greenalia Logistic is a company dedicated to logistics, including all areas, from warehousing, stowage and transport (land or sea), to consignee and customs agency.
• Forestry: Greenalia Forest is the group company responsible for forestry activities, from purchasing from the owner to marketing the products to its customers.

Greenalia closed 2016 with a turnover of €29.67M, achieving an ebitda of €1.09M, and has a workforce of 33 employees. The company has played a leading role in the latest renewable auctions held by the government. In the 2016 auction it was awarded a total of 49.9 MW of biomass, and in the last auction held last July it was awarded a total of 133 MW of wind power to be developed entirely in Galicia.
