Kitepower announces a partnership with CT Ingenieros to develop an Airborne Wind Energy (AWE) test site on La Gomera, Canary Islands, supported by the Island Government.
The idea of energy independence seems more and more attractive the longer the current energy crisis develops – while rich European countries scramble to secure gas and oil for the near future to then, eventually, switch to more and more renewable energy the impact on smaller countries and communities is yet to be seen.
Between September and October 2021, Kitepower is going to be deployed in the Dutch Defence's training area near Vader Piet on the island of Aruba, with the goal to test the system in an operational environment as part of the military exercise Caribbean Engineer 2021.
