Digitalisation in generation
The goal of our digitalisation initiatives in generation is to increase the efficiency of the plants and improve their integration into the electricity system.
Aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals
Sustainable development goals
SDG 9: Industry, innovation and infrastructure
SDG 11: Sustainable cities and communities
We are making significant growth investments aimed at modernising and developing new infrastructures that respond to current trends in decarbonisation and electrification of the economy.
Our ongoing digital transformation projects in the field of electricity generation incorporate the use of new technologies with the aim of improving efficiency in power generation and reducing the impact on the environment. Also, digitalisation initiatives will allow us to continue to increase the grid's automation and digitalisation. We want to strengthen security of supply, improve service quality and respond to future customer demands.
We are increasing our efforts to digitalise the management of our electricity generation plants, in order to increase their operational efficiency and improve their integration into the electricity system.
At generation facilities, there are two major digitalisation programmes underway, Digiworld: covering the Operation and Maintenance processes, both in thermal and renewable power stations; and another covering the engineering and construction processes: E&C Revolution 2.0.
An integrated operation and maintenance digitalisation programme that will facilitate process homogenisation between thermal and renewable technologies, thus generating a coherent and effective platform. This is a four-year programme, 2020-2023, and includes several important initiatives. The main ones are as follows:
Platform that allows plant supervisors to manage the contract-related process, including contract lists, documentation, workbooks and connection with other platforms to ensure the traceability and efficiency of the entire process.

Programme for the digitalisation and homogenisation of processes, which is based on three main drivers: automation of operations, digitalisation and innovation. It comprises several tools, including:
A digital platform tailored to the E&C Community and Main Suppliers/Contractors that consists of all the digital applications on one platform to make work easier and faster by improving collaboration and more optimised decision-making. The migration from CKS to IUP has been completed.
