Red Eléctrica has started up a Control Centre of Renewable Energies (Cecre), a worldwide pioneering initiative to monitor and control these energy resources.
Red Eléctrica de España was a finalist in the European Environment Awards for The Best Business Project thanks to its Control Centre for Special Regime (Cecre) within the "Product for Sustainable Development" category.
Cecre allows the maximum amount of production from renewable energy sources, especially wind energy, to be integrated into the power system under secure conditions.
Cecre is an operation unit integrated into the Power Control Centre (Cecoel). The generation of the renewable energy producers, which have been set up in our country are managed and controlled by Cecre.
With Cecre, Spain has become the first country worldwide to have a control centre for all their wind farms of over 10 MW.
