As renewable energy portfolios become larger, more complex and increasingly exposed to volatile power markets, Spanish technology company Green Eagle Solutions is betting that the next major efficiency gain will come from removing repetitive human intervention from control rooms. The company has secured a majority investment from Copilot Capital as it prepares to accelerate its international expansion and develop its platform into a global standard for autonomous renewable energy operations.
From Monitoring to Automation
Founded in Spain in 2012 by software engineers Alejandro Cabrera and Juan Fernández, Green Eagle Solutions was created around a simple idea, renewable energy operators needed more than dashboards and monitoring tools. They needed technology capable of carrying out operational actions automatically.
The company developed its ARSOS platform to address this challenge. Today, ARSOS sits between renewable assets and existing operational software, detecting events, deciding on the appropriate response and executing actions across a fleet. Its capabilities cover operations and maintenance, grid and market management, asset performance, on site SCADA and substation automation.
Managing 90 GW of Renewable Assets
Green Eagle has grown its platform into a sizeable operational network. According to the company, ARSOS currently manages around 90 GW of wind, solar, battery energy storage and hydro assets. More than 10,000 wind turbines are operating autonomously through the platform, while over one million automated actions are executed each month across its customer base.
The company operates across Iberia, Europe, North America, Latin America, Australia and other EMEA markets. Its website says Green Eagle currently operates in 18 countries, with headquarters in Madrid and Seville.
The ARSOS Automation Suite
The company’s flagship platform is designed to automate processes that traditionally require constant attention from control room teams.
ARSOS can automate fault handling, curtailments and dispatch while providing operators with real time visibility into assets. Its O&M solution, for example, can automate predefined fault response procedures and preventive stops, while its Grid and Market product supports technical restrictions, curtailment management and participation in balancing markets.
Green Eagle’s approach is built around a three stage process, detect, decide and do. Instead of simply identifying an anomaly and alerting an operator, the platform can evaluate the situation and execute a predefined response. The company says this approach can reduce repetitive workloads and allow control room staff to focus on exceptions and higher value decisions.
Copilot Backs International Expansion
The majority investment from Copilot Capital is expected to provide Green Eagle with additional resources to expand internationally, with the United States identified as a major priority.
Green Eagle already works with two of the largest power producers in the US, giving the company an established customer base from which to build its North American operations. The new partnership will support its go to market strategy while allowing the company to continue expanding across Europe.
Copilot Capital said Green Eagle fits its strategy of backing fast growing software companies and helping them become European software champions with global reach. The investment is also Copilot’s fifth and final investment from its first fund, which includes companies across Spain, the UK and the Nordic region.
Investing in AI and Data
Beyond geographical expansion, Green Eagle plans to deepen investment in data and artificial intelligence capabilities within ARSOS. The company wants to strengthen the platform’s ability to detect operational events, determine appropriate actions and execute workflows autonomously across renewable energy portfolios.
That focus comes as renewable portfolios increasingly combine wind, solar, hydro and battery storage, while energy markets and regulatory requirements become more complex. Green Eagle believes automation can allow operators to manage larger fleets without increasing control room staffing at the same rate.
With Copilot’s backing, the company is now aiming to take its autonomous operations technology into more markets, beginning with a deeper push into the United States, while positioning ARSOS as an automation layer for the increasingly complex global renewable energy industry.
