Offshore wind energy is the clean and renewable energy obtained by taking advantage of the force of the wind that is produced on the high seas, where it reaches a higher and more constant speed than on land due to the absence of barriers. In order to make the most of this resource, mega-structures are installed that are seated on the seabed and equipped with the latest technical innovations. Discover what these real sea giants are like and how they work.

This island is located about 545 km from Recife, the capital of Pernambuco, and it is within the concession area of CELPE, the distributor for the Neoenergia* group — the Iberdrola group subsidiary in Brazil —. Neoenergia implements sustainable and smart energy solutions in response to the challenges of generating and distributing energy in a beautiful and delicate ecosystem.

The Remote Control Centre (RCC) is Iberdrola group's renewable energy operation centre (CORE) in the United Kingdom. From there its subsidiary, ScottishPower Renewables, controls and operates 37 onshore and 2 offshore wind farms in real time, with the aim of ensuring that they are operational over 97% of the time. Its manager, Mark Gailey, shows us around the centre.

The Renewables Operation Centre (CORE) in Toledo controls and operates in real time the operation of Iberdrola's wind, photovoltaic and mini-hydro facilities in Spain, Portugal, Greece, Mexico, Hungary, Romania, Italy, France, Cyprus, Poland, Brazil and Australia. Why this worldwide pioneering project came about and how it has evolved since then.

The Renewable Energy Operation Centre (CORE) of Iberdrola group's Brazilian subsidiary Neoenergia controls and operates 17 wind farms and six renewable generation substations in real time. Roger Mendonça, from the Neoenergia Operational Relations department, presents the company's most advanced CORE in the world to date.

The Renewable Energy Operation Centres (CORE by their Spanish initials) are the platform from which Iberdrola Group operates and controls its renewable generation facilities, in a centralised and standardised way in the different countries in which it operates.
