Who we are
We are a Spanish renewable energy company, committed to innovation and sustainability. A pioneer in the energy sector, we have a long history and a firm and passionate mission: to improve the quality of life for people and actively contribute to the decarbonization of the economy to combat climate change.
At Elmya, we are dedicated to reducing global dependence on fossil fuels,
which cause so much harm to the environment. Through innovation and the
implementation of clean technologies, we work to minimize environmental
impact and ensure that our projects are sustainable.
We not only seek to provide clean energy but also to foster a paradigm shift in energy that results in a positive impact on people. We want to lead the energy transition, reduce the carbon footprint, and ensure that future generations inherit a healthier and more balanced planet.
Because our commitment to changing the energy model is more than just a
statement of intent; it is a promise of continuous and responsible action. And for this, our more than 500 employees worldwide are the fundamental pillar that supports our success and the engine with which we transform the present to build a cleaner and more sustainable future.
“We work to be a global reference in infrastructure for the energy transition.”

Our Story
Since our beginnings in 1966 as a manufacturer of industrial electrical panels
and high-voltage contractors, we have evolved and adapted to new times to
become experts in renewable energy and energy efficiency solutions. In this
way, we put all our experience at the service of a new energy paradigm that
provides modern and technologically more efficient alternatives.
Today, Elmya encompasses three fundamental business lines: Elmya Energy,
through which we invest in the development of greenfield photovoltaic energy
projects, energy storage, biomethane, and green hydrogen; Elmya EPC,
dedicated to the design, construction, and operation of renewable energy
projects; and Elmya Installations, which continues to thrive in the traditional
business of industrial electrical installations, especially focused on energy
efficiency and decarbonization solutions.
Based in Seville and with offices in London, Athens, Rome, Porto, and Texas,
we are privileged to expand and embark on new projects internationally. At
Elmya, we take pride in having a team of industry-leading professionals
committed to driving progress and providing fast and reliable solutions in the
dynamic world of renewable energies.
More than 58 years providing clean, efficient, and competitive energy solutions
Two friends and classmates from the Technical Industrial Engineering Faculty of the University of Seville, José Mª Piñar and Rafael Ramos, joined efforts, talent, and commitment to found Elmya. Initially, their goal was to design and manufacture electrical panels for multinational companies. Over time, they expanded their business vision to enhance their capabilities and cover all types
of industrial electrical installations.
We began our journey by carrying out high-voltage installations, actively participating in the modernization of the irrigation system and rural electrification in southern Spain.
Both friends decided to diversify their activities towards electrical installations in unique buildings, collaborating in the construction of hotels, hospitals, and other notable projects.
The Universal Exposition of Seville in 1992 was a milestone for both the city and our company. We not only participated in the design and construction of the low and high voltage installations for the EXPO but also in the infrastructures that remain symbols of transformation. At Elmya, we played a prominent role in the development of electrical installations, pavilions, and iconic infrastructures such as the Fifth Centenary and Barqueta Bridges, as well as contributing to the construction of various sections of the AVE, Spain's first high-speed railway line.
We witnessed a remarkable boost in large commercial surfaces, and Elmya enthusiastically joined this new sector, carrying out comprehensive installations in reference centers. During this period, we were pioneers in the development
of the first Mercadona supermarkets, establishing a solid relationship that endures to this day and has positioned us as leaders in the sector in Spain. This partnership opened doors for us to collaborate with other major multinational
retail companies, such as Carrefour, Decathlon, Media Markt, among others.
We took a crucial step by developing our first installations in photovoltaic parks, marking the beginning of a new successful trajectory in this sector.
We reached a milestone by constructing our first photovoltaic park outside of Spain, which led to the implementation of an ambitious internationalization plan in the following years. As a result, we exported Spanish talent to Italy, the
United Kingdom, Mexico, Peru, Argentina, and the United Arab Emirates, taking our experience and commitment beyond our borders.
After a complex period caused by the pandemic, during which we focused on strengthening our team to face new challenges, our company began a prosperous period of sustained growth, thanks to its adaptation to a new business model based on the well-being of people and the democratization of energy production, which has made us a reference in the renewable sector. We promoted Elmya EPC as a framework contractor for major European utilities and IPPs, while we launched project promotion activities under our subsidiary Elmya Energy. Additionally, we expanded our operations by opening offices in Greece and the United Kingdom.
Following the sad loss at the end of 2023 of our founder, José María Píñar Parias, the company, now led by José María and Carlos Píñar Celestino,
continues its growth and internationalization process. Under a new strategic plan, Elmya is committed to technological and geographical diversification while remaining true to the values and corporate culture established by its founders.
Since 2011, we have expanded our scope of operations to offer high-quality services to clients worldwide. Energy transformation is a global necessity, and our experience not only allows us to adapt to local needs but also provides us
with the opportunity to strengthen our activities through the talent of professionals from different cultures who bring new perspectives to our projects.
Together, with dedication, effort, and commitment, we maintain the relevance of our corporate culture to move towards a greener and more responsible world.
Our ambitious internationalization plan is not simply part of our history, it is part of our identity as a global company committed to a global challenge: the decarbonization of the economy and the fight against climate change.
