Waya Energy

Waya Energy is featured in the latest MIT Energy Futures issue Read about how our company, Waya Energy, is helping advance global access to electricity thanks to our innovative planning and analysis software, REM, which helps governments determine cost-effective and sustainable ways to provide electricity to isolated communities. #sdg7 #universalaccess #powertothepeople at MIT Energy Initiative https://lnkd.in/dQswBYsu

After 40 years of founding the Instituto de Investigación Tecnológica, Ignacio closes his tribute with this idea: "we still have so much to enjoy together". Thank you for bringing Waya to "think big without leaving anyone behind".

Next week, on July 8, we'll celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Instituto de Investigación Tecnológica with a tribute to Ignacio Pérez-Arriaga. His life's work includes the creation of IIT-Comillas, the African School of Regulation, the Aula de Solidaridad and the Fundación Juan Carlos Lavalle. He was also the driving force behind the Florence School of Regulation and the MIT Energy Initiative, as well as our co-founder at Waya Energy. Through all of this work in energy regulation and policy, Ignacio's drive has been to improve lives, especially those left behind, to find ways to overcome challenges, and to share that knowledge and purpose with his students and colleagues around the world. WE could not be prouder. Save the date. 

Congratulations Rosilena Lindo Riggs and the team of SNE for daring to #thinkbig in aiming for #thelastmile. #NoOneIsLeftBehind. National Universal Electrification Plan of Panama with the Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo. Proud of our participation in the design of the Plan. #WeAreBetterTogether Waya Energy.

Justamente orgullosos de la aprobación y lanzamiento del Plan Nacional de Emectrificación Rural de Panamá mañana 18 de junio. Gracias por la confianza y el apoyo incesante de la SNE con el liderazgo de Rosilena Lindo Riggs, del equipo del Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo con Arturo Alarcón, junto con el Universal Energy Access Lab del Instituto de Investigación Tecnológica y TTA como socios. Gracias además al apoyo de ASEP por toda la información facilitada para la elaboración del Plan, a la colaboración de la empresa de servicio eléctrico en zonas aisladas acciona.org, The Energy & Water Foundation, y a la participación de las distribuidoras ENSA Panamá, así como Edemet y Edechi del grupo Naturgy. Lo mejor está por llegar. #wearebettertogether No olvidéis registraros para poder asistir online.

(Repost of the message of our co-founder and co-CEO Andres Gonzalez-Garcia, Ph.D.) 🌟 Deeply happy and grateful! 🌟 I am honored to have received the "Engineering with Purpose" award from the ICAI Engineers for Development Foundation for my professional contribution to improving the living conditions of the most vulnerable people. This recognition from the Foundation and from my colleagues at the National Association/College of ICAI Engineers has come as a complete surprise. I would like to thank my colleagues at the ICAI School of Engineering and the IIT, Fernando De Cuadra García, Ignacio Pérez-Arriaga, Rafael Palacios and Pablo Duenas Martinez for nominating me (without my knowledge) for this award. It is a tremendous joy and a huge motivation to continue developing projects that seek a positive impact on sustainable development, universal access to energy and energy transition. Engineering has a formidable capacity to transform the world, and this award is a reminder of the importance of our work and expertise in ensuring that no one is left behind in an increasingly technological society and economy. I do not remember a professional moment when #volunteering and the exercise of the profession with purpose, whether as a student of ICAI in the foundation of Engineering Without Borders (today ONGAWA), later in Solidarte and the National President of the Fair Trade Federation and Fairtrade Ibérica, the Solidarity Aula, Energy Without Borders - Esf, the Table for Universal Access to Energy, and now from Waya Energy, the MIT Energy Initiative's Universal Energy Access Laboratory and the Institute for Research in Technology of the Universidad Pontificia Comillas has not been a source of personal growth and transformative impact from the engineering profession. I am deeply grateful to the ICAI Foundation and Association of Engineers for their support and for making social responsibility in our profession one of the pillars of their transformative action for a more just and humane world. As the founder S. Ignacio used to say, #inallthingstoloveandserve, thank God. This honor is undoubtedly a choral achievement, first thanks to the support of Cristina, my children and my family, to all my colleagues at Waya Energy and the Universal Energy Access Lab (MIT & IIT-Comillas), to all the organisations where I have been able to advance paths in cooperation for human and sustainable development. Thank you all for always being there! The road goes on and on. 💪🌍 #EngineeringWithPurpose #SocialResponsibility #ICAI #UniversalEnergyAccess #SDG7

Electrification strategies and computational problem solving to #leavenoonebehind. Our CBDO and co-founder, Andres Gonzalez-Garcia, Ph.D. defended his Ph.D. thesis this past Tuesday. A doctoral dissertation that covers more than ten years of hard work to promote the acceleration and upscaling of the electrification process. Read more about it on our website.
