Fix Your Solar Data. Fuel Your Performance.
As renewable portfolios expand quickly in today’s market, legacy systems are holding them back. According to The Gartner® new Strategic Roadmap for Intelligent Renewable Energy Operations (2025), the next phase of growth depends on one thing: fixing fragmented data. We’ve summarized Gartner® ’s key findings below - for the full complimentary Gartner® Inc. report click here:
Modern renewable energy operations generate more data than ever, but many operators still struggle with data locked inside legacy systems. Fragmented information slows decisions, hides performance issues and leaves money on the table.
The Gartner® report, “Strategic Roadmap for Intelligent Renewable Energy Operations,” outlines a clear path forward. enSights aligns directly with that path and helps operators implement the roadmap in the real world.
The Problem: Legacy Systems Can’t Keep Up
Many operators still rely on aging control systems designed for smaller, simpler portfolios, despite the fact renewable energy projects keep getting bigger and more technically complex. Those systems now create significant drag on operational performance.
Key symptoms:
Data fragments across operational, maintenance and financial systems.
• Teams struggle to tell what matters and what is noise.
• Operators cross-check data manually, wasting valuable time.
• Siloed insights cause conflicting decisions across teams.
• Revenue leaks from the bottom line because operators cannot see portfolio performance in one place.
By 2027, 35% of companies will replace fragmented legacy systems with streamlined technology systems that provide a more holistic view of asset fleet performance, both in the energy the assets they produce and the financial performance the company delivers, Gartner® reports.
The Shift: From Fragmented Data to Intelligent Operations
Decision makers need systems that sense, analyze and act across an entire asset base. Gartner® calls this model “intelligent operations.”
Intelligent operations use technologies such as:
• Artificial intelligence
• Digital twins
• Internet of Things sensors
• Advanced analytics

These technologies create context-aware, bidirectional coordination across assets. Operators gain clear visibility into performance, risk and financial outcomes. Companies that modernize now position themselves to scale faster and operate more profitably in the future.

The Opportunity: Unlock Unified Data and New Revenue
Unifying operational, maintenance and financial data produces immediate and measurable benefits.
Operators gain:
Full visibility across every asset in the portfolio
Faster, more accurate decisions
Transparency that eliminates revenue leakage
Stronger coordination between teams
More reliable financial forecasting
Better management of SLA agreements
Lower operational risk
Modern systems replace manual cross-checking with automated alignment. Operators can coordinate production decisions horizontally across the organization rather than relying on siloed, manual workflows.
We’re seeing that Gartner® recommends building a technology roadmap that identifies capability gaps, aligns investments with business goals, and supports future growth — which is music to our ears.

Why does renewable energy data end up in silos?
Legacy systems store data in separate locations and formats. Operators cannot assemble a clear picture of performance without heavy manual work. Fragmentation causes delays, inefficiencies and confusion.
What Gartner® means by “intelligent operations”, according to us?
Intelligent operations sense, analyze and act across assets using modern technologies such as AI, IoT, digital twins and advanced analytics. These systems support integrated, data-driven coordination across the organization.
Why does operational intelligence matter now?
Rapid industry growth and evolving market conditions demand faster, more accurate decisions. Operators need full visibility to optimize performance, manage risk and protect revenue.
What major trends do we see Gartner® highlight?
Fragmented data drives higher costs.
• Operators seek unified technology platforms.
• Unified data environments open new revenue streams.
• Current market tools rarely handle modern power-market complexity.
• Companies are replacing legacy systems at an accelerating pace.
How can operators address data fragmentation?
Modernize technology portfolios.
• Build a clear technology roadmap.
• Migrate to horizontal data orchestration.
• Align operational decisions with production goals.

How can renewable energy operators eliminate data silos and improve portfolio performance?
Renewable energy operators can eliminate data silos by implementing a unified Energy Business Management platform that consolidates operational, maintenance, and financial data into a single, normalized environment. Legacy systems often fragment information across dashboards and departments, forcing manual cross-checking and slowing decision-making. A modern Energy Business Management system integrates telemetry, performance metrics, SLA tracking, and revenue data in real time — enabling intelligent operations powered by AI and advanced analytics. This unified approach improves visibility, reduces revenue leakage, accelerates decision-making, and supports scalable, portfolio-level performance optimization.
