Solarig Global Control Centre in Soria: 24/7 technology for renewable energy operations
From the Garray Environment Business Park in Soria, Solarig monitors renewable energy assets in real time, analyses data and coordinates incidents to improve the availability, reliability and performance of its facilities.
From the Garray Environment Business Park in Soria, Solarig operates a key piece of infrastructure for the energy transition: its Global Control Centre. From this control room, renewable energy assets are monitored in real time, data is analysed and incidents are coordinated to improve the availability, reliability and performance of the facilities.
The centre operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and forms part of an international structure with teams in Spain, Mexico and Australia, designed to cover different time zones and strengthen operational continuity.
In this article, you will discover how Solarig’s Global Control Centre turns data into operational decisions, monitors more than 220 facilities, manages over 15 GW of renewable energy assets and coordinates plant operations across more than 10 countries and 4 continents.

How Solarig’s Global Control Centre in Soria works
Take a closer look at how Solarig monitors, analyses and coordinates renewable energy asset operations in real time.
What is Solarig’s Global Control Centre?
The Global Control Centre is a technology infrastructure from which Solarig centralises the monitoring, operation and oversight of its renewable energy assets.
Its role is to turn data into operational decisions: checking production, validating alarms, prioritising incidents and coordinating the response with on-site teams.
Put simply, it operates as a control tower for renewable energy: it does not generate energy, but it helps facilities operate in a stable, safe and efficient manner.
“Energy is not generated here, but this is where renewable assets are monitored, analysed and coordinated to ensure they operate as they should.”
Real-time renewable energy monitoring
From Soria, Solarig monitors more than 220 facilities and over 15 GW of renewable energy assets under Operation and Maintenance.
This work is supported by 25 integrated monitoring systems and the continuous analysis of data from the plants’ Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems.
This model makes it possible to detect deviations, compare asset performance and act quickly when a facility requires technical attention. The key is not merely seeing an alarm, but interpreting it, verifying it and making the right decision in each case.
From data to operational decisions
Select each stage to see how the Control Centre turns technical information into coordinated action.
The Control Centre receives continuous information from the plants to check production, alarms, availability and equipment performance.
The teams interpret the data, identify which alerts are relevant and compare performance to understand the asset’s actual condition.
When an incident requires action, it is logged, prioritised and coordinated with on-site teams through tools such as Custodian.
Operations are not purely reactive: trend analysis helps identify deviations before they develop into a more serious problem.
Technology, data and Custodian
Operations are supported by Custodian, Solarig’s proprietary CMMS, which centralises incidents, work orders and the monitoring of O&M activities.
This tool records what happens, who manages it, which actions are taken and when each incident is resolved. This traceability helps coordinate distributed teams, learn from every intervention and improve operational processes.
Key operational data
Digitalisation makes it possible to manage incidents, organise information and connect the Control Centre with on-site teams.
A video wall providing a global view
The Control Centre features a state-of-the-art 259-inch video wall, measuring approximately 6 metres wide by 2.7 metres high.
This environment enables teams to view critical information, maps, alarms and operational indicators while maintaining a global overview of the assets.
Global operations from Soria
From the PEMA in Garray, the Global Control Centre supports assets located across more than 10 countries and 4 continents.
The structure, with teams in Spain, Mexico City and Australia provides redundancy, resilient shift coverage and support across time zones for assets located in different markets.
Centralising operations enables knowledge sharing, process standardisation and faster, more efficient decision-making. Rather than resolving each case in isolation, the aim is to build a shared body of operational knowledge across the organisation.

People, processes and technology
Although the Control Centre is a highly digital environment, the human factor remains essential. Behind every screen are professionals who interpret data, prioritise incidents, coordinate teams and apply technical judgement to decide what action to take at any given moment.
The centre’s value therefore comes from combining technology, processes and people. When these three elements work together, renewable energy operations become more robust, reliable and efficient.
Data, continuous monitoring and the ability to anticipate
The energy transition is not built solely with solar panels, wind turbines or batteries. It also depends on data, continuous monitoring, the ability to anticipate and teams ready to act at the right time.
From Soria, Solarig is advancing more digital, coordinated renewable energy operations that are ready to meet the challenges of a changing power system.
