Iberdrola España's Hydroelectric Operation Center in Salamanca receives the visit of the President of the Regional Government of Castilla y León

• From the Salamanca town of Carbajosa de la Sagrada, the company controls and supervises all its hydroelectric power plants in Spain.
• Its design responds to the concept of remote-controlled operation of the facilities, with modern computer and communications systems that allow safe and permanent operation, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

The President of the Regional Government of Castilla y León, Alfonso Fernández Mañueco, accompanied by the CEO of Iberdrola Renovables Energía, Julio Castro, the Mayor of Carbajosa de la Sagrada, Pedro Samuel Martín, and the delegate of Iberdrola España in Castilla y León, Miguel Calvo, visited, in the framework of World Water Day, the company's Hydroelectric Operation Center, an important infrastructure that, from the town of Carbajosa de la Sagrada, just 3 kilometers from the capital of Salamanca, carries out the control and supervision of all the hydroelectric power plants that Iberdrola has in Spain.

With a total staff of 52 people, its design responds to the concept of remote-controlled operation of the facilities, with modern computer and communications systems that allow safe and permanent operation, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, as the real wild card of energy production and the means to ensure that the needs of the demand are always met instantly.

Historically, the operation of Iberdrola's hydroelectric power plants in Spain was carried out from four Basin Operation Centers (COCs): Sil, Tajo, Duero Norte and Mediterráneo. The technology of these COCs was from the late 1990s. In 2018, the renovation of the systems and a restructuring of the operation of the hydroelectric power plants began, which has resulted in the unification of the four COCs into a single center, called the Hydroelectric Operation Center (COHI), which is located at Iberdrola España's work center in the El Montalvo Industrial Park, in Carbajosa de la Sagrada, in the province of Salamanca.

Iberdrola España's work center in El Montalvo

Iberdrola España opened a new work center in El Montalvo in the summer of 2017. It is located in a strategic area close to the city's main communication routes in order to facilitate the development of the activities carried out by the people who occupy the complex, in addition to ensuring improved response times and attention to the good condition of the power lines and supply.

These offices concentrate Iberdrola España's workforce in Salamanca in an efficient and modern center, equipped with the latest technologies and with equipment and facilities adapted to the needs of the workstations required by the company, always committed to the quality and ergonomics of the company's standards.
