Renewable operators are under pressure to run larger, more complex portfolios with tighter performance expectations and leaner operational teams. That shift is forcing a rethink in how data, automation and AI are applied day to day.
In this Windpower Monthly webinar, produced in partnership with Green Eagle Solutions, senior leaders from Galp and Nadara examine how that change is playing out in practice. The discussion brings together Ricardo Pereira Monteiro, Head of Operational Data & Analytics at Galp, and Tiago Silva, Head of Global Asset Performance at Nadara, alongside Alejandro Cabrera, CEO & Co-founder of Green Eagle Solutions.
The conversation compares two operational approaches at scale: Galp’s hybrid model combining in-house analytics with external technology across a 1.7GW portfolio, and Nadara’s more centralised approach, running 4GW across 200 sites with an in-house control room and data capabilities. In this context, Green Eagle Solutions brings the technology perspective on how automation and AI are changing the way operators manage assets at scale, and what that means in practice for multi-GW portfolios.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
- How two of Europe's largest renewable IPPs, Nadara and GALP, have built contrasting operational models to scale efficiently.
- How large-scale renewable operators are adapting to falling market prices and increasing complexity, and what’s driving the shift toward automation and digitalization
- What automation and AI are practically delivering in multi-GW asset management — from predictive maintenance and reduced human error to real-time grid response and faster decision-making.
- What renewable operations at scale will look like in 2030 and what strategic decisions operators need to be making right now.
