The wind engineer
I studied industrial engineering. In 2007, fresh out of university, I joined the wind sector. I spent the next eight years building wind farms across Spain, the Netherlands and Germany — measuring towers, managing construction sites, learning from the inside how the energy transition is really built.
It was a thrilling job. But something didn't add up. The wind farms went up, the energy was generated, and the people in the next village kept paying the same bill, unaware that the wind farm even existed. Clean energy was arriving. Energy justice wasn't.
The necessary crisis, and aeioluz
In 2015, after returning from the Netherlands, I made a turn. I was a European finalist for an Ashoka award against energy poverty, and that shifted my perspective. I understood that the energy transition wasn't just a technical challenge — it was, above all, a social one.
That same year I founded aeioluz, a pioneering cooperative against energy poverty. I led the project for three years. There I learned what social economy really means: sitting in kitchens with families who couldn't pay their bill, doing energy audits home by home, understanding that behind every kWh there is a human decision.
And I started to obsess over a question: what if energy stopped being something we buy and went back to being something we decide together?
Sapiens Energía, 2020
In the middle of the pandemic, with a team of people who share the same "why", we founded Sapiens Energía. A non-profit cooperative. Economy for the Common Good model. 100% of surplus reinvested in community impact.
Today we are a large team. We have supported more than 90 energy community processes, more than 60 collective self-consumption installations, more than 400 individual installations. We work with more than 80 town councils and 5 provincial governments. But what matters most about Sapiens isn't the numbers: it's that none of those communities would exist without the conscious decision of their neighbours to organise.
AVACE: building movement
In 2022, together with Som Inquiets, Tranesol and other partners, we co-founded the Valencian Association of Energy Communities (AVACE). Because we understood something: a single energy community is a project. A hundred organised communities are a movement. And a movement is what changes the rules of the game.
Acumen Fellow
In 2024 I was selected as an Acumen Fellow, a global network of social entrepreneurs and innovators working to break the cycle of poverty and vulnerability. Being there confirmed something for me: what we are doing in Valencia is replicable. And necessary.
What came next
I co-founded Flow Energía because I saw two gaps the sector wasn't covering: many families and businesses were overpaying for electricity without knowing it, and energy communities couldn't find well-designed insurance for their installations. Flow exists to solve both problems at once.
And I support the Solidarity Energy Community because the transition cannot leave behind those who suffer the most from energy poverty.
Each project is different. The purpose is identical.
What drives me
I believe in cooperativism not as nostalgia, but as a 21st-century social technology. I believe the companies that will lead the next decade will be the ones generating economic, social and territorial value at the same time. I believe profit and purpose are not enemies: they are allies who haven't yet got to know each other well.
And I believe, above all, that the main challenge of the energy transition isn't technical. It's cultural. It's helping people move from seeing energy as a service they buy, to understanding it as a collective project they can build together.
What I'm looking for here
This site is my personal space. Here I write what I think, share the projects I drive forward, and leave the door open to anyone who wants to collaborate — for a talk, for a new community, for a conversation.
If you've made it this far, thank you for reading. I'm one message away.
