Elektra Canarias, with a 40-year presence on the islands, has taken another step in its commitment to modernizing and improving the efficiency of the professional sector in Gran Canaria with the opening of its new training center in Arinaga, a space designed to promote technology, sustainability, and comfort on the island. The event, held in conjunction with Schneider Electric, brought together industry professionals for intensive training in energy management, distribution panels, and smart homes.
The public event allowed attendees to learn firsthand about Schneider Electric's latest innovations, including the Wiser platform, which integrates energy control, automation, and connectivity, helping to create more efficient and sustainable environments in both industrial and residential facilities. The event also strengthened networking among technicians and business leaders, consolidating Elektra Canarias as a key meeting point for innovation and technical training in Maspalomas.
During the inauguration, Elektra representatives emphasized that the opening of the new center aims to facilitate local professionals' access to high-quality products and smart solutions, while promoting the professionalization of the sector and the adoption of technologies that promote energy efficiency and the digitalization of homes and businesses in the Canary Islands.
Elektra Canarias thus maintains its commitment to the island of Gran Canaria, not only as a distributor of electrical equipment, but also as a driving force for training and technological development, in line with the demands of tourism and a local economy that require more sustainable environments adapted to the needs of the future.
Benefits for professionals. The new center offers more than 700.000 references in stock, access to configuration and online purchasing tools, as well as a private area for managing orders, quotes, and exclusive promotions. According to the company, these facilities allow technicians and business owners to improve efficiency, reduce errors, and optimize the management of their projects, from domestic installations to large tourist infrastructures in Maspalomas and the surrounding area.
With this initiative, Maspalomas strengthens its position as a leading tourist and residential destination, linking the modernization of its energy infrastructure with sustainability, vocational training, and technological innovation—key pillars for maintaining the destination's competitiveness in a context of growing demand for efficiency and comfort in the tourism sector.
