Brief overview

The Basque Energy Cluster is made up of the leading companies in the energy sector located in the Basque Country (energy operators, component and equipment manufacturers), agents of the Basque Science, Technology and Innovation Network and public administration bodies involved in the energy field.

• Located in the north of Spain, the Basque Country represents one of the largest industrial concentrations in Europe and it is ideally located for developing and testing Blue Energy components and devices.
• The region has developed a strong industrial framework in the offshore energy sector thanks to the driver effect of leading international companies such as Iberdrola and Siemens Gamesa, playing a prominent role in technological and market development.
• Singular infrastructures are BIMEP (a platform for real-scale testing and validation of marine energy components and systems), MUTRIKU (a pioneering wave-based power generation facility) and WINDBOX (advanced test & validation centre for wind systems).
