FEDA Cultura recorded 9,122 visitors across its 2025 activities at the MW Museu de l’Electricitat, the Engolasters hydroelectric path, and school programs, marking the second-best annual total despite a 12.4% drop from 10,410 in 2024.

The MW Museu de l’Electricitat drew the largest share, with 5,574 visitors exploring the permanent exhibition alongside two temporary displays: *Una mirada sostenible*, featuring winning photos from FEDA’s second photography contest, and *Carbó vegetal: l’or negre dels pobres* by photographer Pascal Maitre, hosted in partnership with the French Embassy. These exhibits were supported by outreach events on electricity’s past and Andorra’s role in renewables.

The Engolasters path in Encamp set a new high of 2,590 visitors, up 9% from 2024, boosted by scout groups, Summer Nights events, and joint initiatives with Escaldes-Engordany council.

School outreach reached 2,805 students, though sources differ on the path’s portion: Altaveu reported 284 there, plus 1,463 at the museum and 958 in schools; Diari d’Andorra and El Periòdic noted 384 at the path with identical figures elsewhere. This reflects rising student interest in energy heritage.

FEDA Cultura held 57 public events—such as guided tours, open days, Summer Nights, and family workshops—attracting 1,782 people. Eight family sessions engaged 171 participants with activities on electric circuits, recycled crafts, and the temporary exhibits.

The year completed planning for the MW Museu de l’Electricitat’s museographic upgrade, originally slated for 2025. In 2026, the site will close temporarily for comprehensive improvements to accessibility and infrastructure. FEDA Cultura plans to sustain its work via the Engolasters path, school programs, and other venues to advance energy history, culture, and sustainability.
