The solar power plant spans 1,000 dunams (approximately 250 acres) in Israel’s Negev Desert, with an annual output of 440 GWh. The plant was built from the ground up and began operating from day one. It is based on 454,832 parabolic mirrors and about 200 kilometers of oil pipes, supplying clean electricity to approximately 60,000 households.
From the very beginning, the plant’s teams were required to establish safety protocols, develop clear maintenance plans, and ensure seamless integration between data systems, all while collaborating between Spanish and Israeli teams. Additionally, it was necessary to align the plant’s control system (PI Historian) with its organizational ERP system.
The plant selected GIV-ENERGY™, a solution powered by the HxGN EAM platform. The system centralizes all operational processes, including work order management, safety permit handling, and procurement and spare parts requests.
Real-time sensors enable early detection of issues, allowing teams to address problems before they escalate. Through the system, managers gain full visibility into all critical data, ranging from risk levels and costs to energy output on a continuous basis.
The implementation of the system has resulted in fewer shutdowns, reduced operational costs, and reliable green energy supply for tens of thousands of homes.
