At Celepsa, we fully embrace innovation, being one of the corporate values of our UNA culture, which accompanies us from the UNACEM Group. Hand in hand with digital transformation and Industry 4.0, we seek to deploy innovations that transform our internal processes and continue to contribute to the electricity sector. In this exciting journey, our vision is focused on the comprehensive adoption of cutting-edge technologies, the automation of key processes, the intelligent leveraging of data and analytics, and bringing our team's ideas to life.

Industry 4.0 gives us the opportunity to create a connected work environment, where interconnected platforms and collaboration between emerging technologies drive efficiency and productivity. Therefore, at Celepsa we have been working on the basis of the following fronts:

  1. Digitalization and automation:

Digitalization and automation allows us to optimize our operational and back office processes, reduce operating costs and enhance our security. In this way, our team can focus on more strategic activities and attend to new operations as a result of our energy growth. For example, thanks to the technology of our modern Control Center, we operate our power plants in real time from Lima and require a reduced human team at our plants. Likewise, through the use of RPA (Robotic Process Automation), we are able to automate operational processes, allowing our team to focus on monitoring our power plants and serving our customers.

  1. Leveraging data and analytics:

The intelligent use of data and analytics occupies a relevant place in our operation, providing valuable information for decision making. The ability to analyze large data sets allows us to identify patterns, foresee possible problems, improve operational efficiency and provide agile attention to our processes. In line with this, our Commercial team has been implementing the use of dashboards that leverage information from the National Interconnected Electrical System (SEIN) and various sources to generate predictions on market demand and consumption trends of our customers to strengthen our commercial proposal.

  1. Culture of innovation:

We highlight the importance of our team's ideas, fostering and cultivating a culture of innovation, challenging ourselves to think differently and betting on technology as a means to create value. Through the Celepsa Thinkers program and ideation sessions we encourage the generation of ideas and project leadership in our team, from those who operate the plants to the leaders of back office processes, with methodological accompaniment that allows them to boost their ideas.

  1. Open innovation:

In this transformation process, collaborative work is key. Through open innovation, we strengthen the innovation ecosystem to co-create solutions with strategic allies and technology partners to promote the development of new projects. For another consecutive year, we are exclusive sponsors of Peru Energy's Energízate contest to promote innovation in the sector, aiming to make it more efficient and sustainable. We are also part of the Peruvian Committee for Regional Energy Integration, a fundamental space for exchanging ideas and keeping abreast of trends.

In conclusion, aware that we are heading towards a smarter and more sustainable energy future, which takes full advantage of technology and drives us to continue evolving the way we operate, Celepsa is committed to contributing to transforming the sector through initiatives that generate value and promote sustainable development. By cultivating innovation, we will be prepared to lead the way to a brighter tomorrow in the electricity industry.
