Hercesa receives recognition from Naturgy for its 50 years of collaboration for the implementation of gas infrastructures in their developments

Madrid, May 19th 2025. Raúl Suárez, CEO of Nedgia, the gas distributor of the Naturgy group, presented Juan José Cercadillo, president of Hercesa, a leading property developer in Spain with a presence in seven countries, with an award recognizing the long-standing collaboration between the two companies. This collaboration has enabled the use of gas in the real estate group’s new developments and accelerated the efficient decarbonization of the housing stock through the use of gas in homes.

Hercesa furnishes its new developments with everything necessary for the use of natural gas in homes, and also includes this energy system in its industrial and logistics developments such as “Puerta centro Ciudad del Transporte” and “Polígono El Ruiseñor.”

For 50 years, Nedgia and Hercesa have collaborated to promote the use of gas in homes and to facilitate the arrival of green gas to end consumers. This partnership contributes to the energy transition by accelerating the decarbonization of the housing stock in an efficient manner.

The collaboration between the two companies will enhance reliability and flexibility in the energy system through renewable gases, promoting energy independence from external sources and fostering energy solutions that contribute to the development of the circular economy. Green gas is set to play a key role as a solution that is already available and more efficient than other alternatives linked to the electrification of consumption in the residential sector.

Juan José Cercadillo, president of Hercesa, expressed his gratitude for this award and emphasized that “50 years of hard work have been rewarded by the satisfaction of our customers and the recognition of partners such as Negdia, who accompany us on our journey with great professionalism and an unwavering commitment that helps our organization continue to grow and adapt to changing times.”

Raúl Suárez, CEO of Nedgia, stated that “the award given to Hercesa is a testament to our shared commitment to decarbonize homes through renewable gas, a logical choice as it is the most efficient and sustainable solution. We are committed to an environmentally and economically sustainable energy transition through the use of renewable gas and existing gas infrastructure. “Decarbonizing the housing stock represents 40 TWh/year, which is a feasible goal considering the potential of 160 TWh that we have as a country,” he added.

The agreement also includes consultancy by Nedgia in the different energy solutions provided by gas installations: from hybrid gas condensing boiler installations with solar panels, to hybridization with heat pumps or even the use of gas heat pumps. In addition, these solutions are aligned with compliance with current legislation (CTE) and with the highest energy ratings (AA). These solutions provide Hercesa with a guaranteed service to its customers, as well as energy and economic savings, minimizing after-sales costs.

In addition, an important aspect highlighted in Hercesa’s developments is its commitment to the future, as its buildings are equipped for green gas.
