This will be achieved through the implantation and development of generating power based on renewable energy for the fulfillment of the Euskadi 2010 energy strategy.

The Project contains three subprojects:

Photovoltaic energy: The main objectives are: Cost reduction, improvement of efficiency and reduction of silicon dependency of photovoltaic systems.

Wind energy: The main objective is to advance in the multimegawatt wind turbine and its integration in the electric grid.

Marine energy: The main objective in this field is the international positioning through locally developed technology for the extraction of power from the waves.

The participants in this project are Robotiker (coordinator), Inasmet, Labein, Ikerlan, Instituto de Tecnología Microelectrónica and APERT from UPV/EHU.
