A disruptive innovation start-up for energy transition and universal access to sustainable energy. MIT and IIT Comillas.
About us
Waya Energy Inc. and Wayvolution SL "WE" were founded in 2019 by faculty and alumni from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the Institute for Research in Technology, Universidad Pontificia Comillas (IIT-Comillas) to transition applied research into commercial software products and consulting services for the international community. Efforts to incorporate renewable generation and storage into electricity systems globally, and to expand access to electricity in the developing world with new technologies have created a need for new system design and analysis tools. · 𝙒𝙀’𝙨 𝙨𝙤𝙛𝙩𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙤𝙤𝙡 is a disruptive geospatial electrification data-intensive model. With national or regional data, the model generates the least-cost electrification plan to the maximum level of granularity: household level. It’s a techno-economic optimization considering three forms of electrification: grid extension, mini-grids and isolated systems. · 𝙒𝙀’𝙨 𝙂𝙄𝙎 𝙗𝙖𝙨𝙚𝙙 𝙨𝙤𝙛𝙩𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙤𝙤𝙡 allows for detailed technical design of an off-grid site including generation and network layout. The software has been used to design off-grid systems in India, Uganda, Kenya, Peru, Amazonia, Nigeria, Cambodia and Indonesia. · 𝙒𝙀'𝙨 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙞𝙘𝙚𝙨 drink from the Integrated Energy Framework developed by the Universal Energy Acces Lab of MIT and IIT-Comillas, a sustainable conceptual comprehensive approach and applied in actual projects in Rwanda, Nigeria, Uganda and India, and then details which conditions would be required to directly involve and empower large utilities in accelerating the pace towards Universal Electrification through the least-cost combination of supply technologies (grid extension, microgrids and solar kits) and business models.

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.
El día 8 de julio celebraremos un acto de homenaje a nuestro fundador Ignacio Pérez Arriaga, con motivo del 40 aniversario del Instituto de Investigación Tecnológica. En presencia del Rector de la Universidad Pontificia Comillas ICAI-ICADE y de la Ministra del Ministerio para la Transición Ecológica y el Reto Demográfico, contaremos con ponentes internacionales que debatirán los desafíos para un sistema energético más sostenible. El acto tendrá lugar en el Aula Magna, seguido de un cóctel en la cafetería. Imprescindible inscripción 👉🏼 shorturl.at/7mhwp Si no puedes unirte presencialmente, puedes seguir el evento vía streaming 👉🏼 shorturl.at/l62ua ¡Os esperamos a todos! Comillas ICAI

(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
