Different information panels seek to address issues related to energy sources, with their uses, advantages, disadvantages, etc.
Exclusively designed and developed based on feedback from visitors, to interactively allow access real-time data, historical data, consumption calculators, extrapolations, etc.
Short videos explaining renewable energy in general and each type in particular.
Different publications with distinct themes made to reinforce and facilitate the training work.
