Francisco Comendador
(1970, Toledo)
President of GFM Renovables Foundation
Mr. Francisco Comendador began his professional career in the renewable energy sector twenty years ago.
At that time, the panorama regarding the preservation of the environment and the commitment to clean energies, it can be said that it was rather an illusion, since neither society was fully informed, nor were the directives on renewable energies barely developed.
From that illusion, Francisco’s involvement in this world of Green Energy was born. A world in which it decides to trust, betting on it with the creation of the company Generaciones Fotovoltaicas de Castilla La Mancha (GFM) and currently with the constitution of the GFM Renovables Foundation.
“After dedicating myself individually to different traditional activities both in Toledo, at provincial level and in the Community of Madrid, we became interested in renewable energies as a whole, we saw their potential and we decided to start a journey that today is twenty years old.
Since then we have worked on projects of Wind Energy, Photovoltaic Energy, Electric Mobility, extraction and purification of Water through renewable energies and a long etc., managing to scale in our scope of action, to the point of being present, at present, in four of the five continents.To this day, I am proud of the achievements that have been achieved in the company that, with great enthusiasm and effort, we set up twenty years ago. My wish is that we can continue working for many more years in clean energies, employing people who are excited about renewable energies and contributing to sustainability and improvement of the environment ”.

Vicente Maqueda
(1970, Toledo)
Vice president GFM Renovables Foundation
D. Vicente Maqueda began his professional career in the renewable energy sector twenty years ago.
At that time, the panorama with respect to the preservation of the environment and the commitment to clean energies, can be said to be more of an illusion, as neither society was fully informed, nor were the directives on renewable energies barely developed.
As a result of this illusion and Vicente’s ability to realise the need for and potential of generating Green Energy, his involvement in the world of Renewable Energies was born. A world in which he decided to place his trust, and he did so with the creation of the company Generaciones Fotovoltaicas de La Mancha (GFM) and currently with the constitution of the GFM Renovables Foundation.
GFM Fotovoltaica’s ideologist and with more than twenty years of work in favour of the promotion and integration, both at a technical and social level, of Renewable Energies.
“In the year 2000 I discovered how fundamental renewable energies would be for sustainable development and the future of our planet. I have carried out field work selecting sites both for wind energy, at first, and for photovoltaic energy a few years later, contributing, to the extent of my small collaboration, to the fact that today more than 35 Mw. are operating between photovoltaic solar energy and wind energy.
After these twenty years of dedication to the company, of which I am a partner, together with Francisco Comendador, we have created The GFM Renovables Foundation with the main objective of activating and increasing, even more if possible, the social aspect of Renewable Energies. Our mission is to provide the necessary means so that all people have access to one of the fundamental rights, which is to have light and water. We will do this by making our training capacity available to the user, so that everyone understands the scope of what it means for humanity to generate our own energy.
In short, we want everyone to love Renewable Energies as we do.
