The two companies collaborate to test, for the first time in aquaculture activity, an intelligent management system that will improve the energy efficiency of the facilities.
The tests will be carried out at the Group's turbot fingerling plant in Mougás (Pontevedra).
Vigo - The Nueva Pescanova Group will test an intelligent energy management system developed by Repsol at its turbot fingerling plant in Mougás (Pontevedra). Through the application of artificial intelligence and the optimization of air conditioning processes, this system will improve the energy efficiency of its facilities, achieving savings in consumption and reducing CO2 emissions.

The Nueva Pescanova Group joins Repsol to test, for the first time in an aquaculture plant, this intelligent management system, which collects different parameters such as the required power, usage patterns, the price of electricity at all times or the weather forecast. In addition, it analyzes the behavior of the equipment in real time and predicts what its energy demand will be. With all this data, it determines the optimal conditions for each device and adapts them automatically. In the specific case of culture pools for turbot fingerlings, it will identify the moments of greatest energy consumption when heating or cooling water from the sea, since this species needs a different water temperature depending on its phase of increase.
Developed in the microgrids laboratory of the Repsol Technology Lab research center, this system has shown reductions of up to 20% in energy consumption associated with air conditioning and up to 40% in the cold chain.
Thanks to this alliance, both companies come together to advance their commitment to sustainability. Under this premise, the Nueva Pescanova Group works on the incorporation of technologies and processes that favor the efficiency and optimization of the use of natural resources, materials and energy. Within the framework of this agreement, Ignacio González, CEO of the Nueva Pescanova Group, affirms that:“Sustainable performance is a priority objective for us. It is a pride to continue advancing in this sense and to be pioneers in the incorporation of new energy efficiency solutions applied to aquaculture ”.
The project could be extended to, in a later phase, integrate storage systems, distributed photovoltaic generation and recharging of electric vehicles into smart energy management.
