Spanish term or phrase: de Compañía
In a document from a consulting engineering company on the plans for a new shopping centre. This comes up in a list of electrical installations. My guess is that "Compañia" means the local electricity supply company and that they would install some of their own equipment within the new building to provide the supply, but I am not 100% on this (perhaps it could be the company developing or running the centre, etc) - anyone know for sure?

Context:

"La instalación eléctrica va a ser desarrollada en su totalidad, comprendiendo la instalación los siguientes elementos:

- Centros de Seccionamiento de Compañía
- Centros de Transformación de Compañía
- Centros de Transformación de abonado y de Centro Comercial
- Grupo electrógeno de Centro Comercial
- Cuadros eléctricos
- Líneas generales"

"En el presente Centro Comercial, se dispondrá de centros de seccionamiento de Compañía al objeto de abastecer de energía eléctrica a los diferentes Centros de Transformación del Centro Comercial."
