Background
Acciona develops and operates renewable energy plants, transportation infrastructure, water treatment facilities, and construction projects in more than 65 countries. The company’s corporate headquarters in Madrid houses the digital infrastructure that supports real-time monitoring, operations control, and coordination across its global portfolio of infrastructure assets.
Results
- The upgrade delivered energy savings of almost 70%, reducing annual consumption from significantly beyond initial projections.
- The Vertiv™ Liebert® iCOM™ control upgrade contributed decisively to these results, improving efficiency, refining airflow regulation, and enabling seamless unit coordination.
- Based on current estimates, Acciona expects a return on investment (ROI) in approximately three years.
- The solution also freed cooling and power capacity within the data center, enabling Acciona to plan future expansions without compromising infrastructure stability or operational resilience.
