Some of the most outstanding activities that the platform has carried out in recent years have been:

• Develop the vision document for Smart-Grids in Spain. This document, published in 2012, reflects the vision of the electricity sector for the year 2030 and is constantly being updated and revised.
• Develop a roadmap on the technological development of Smart-Grids, which contributes to making the vision document a reality. The first agenda was
• Develop a document on the impact of Smart-Grids in Spain. This document, published in 2013, seeks to quantify the economic, social and environmental impact of the development of Smart-Grids at national level in the industrial field.
