Milestones

ITER established a Scientific Committee, consisting of an external group of renowned international experts in the field of renewable energy.

ITER inaugurated a wind tunnel for civilian applications, namely for aerodynamic research in a number of R&D fields, such as agriculture, civil engineering or renewable energy.

ITER was awarded Centre of Excellence status by UNESCO for our role in developing and widening access to renewable energy.

We started up a photovoltaic concentration plant, based on the 480kW EUCLIDES TM prototype. At that time, it was the world's largest to have ever been connected to the grid.

We opened the Renewable Energies trail, which was groundbreaking in Spain as a facility for educating and raising awareness regarding renewable energy.

We installed the 5.5MW wind farm.

We installed the 4.8MW wind farm.

We opened an ​​Environment Division focused primarily on volcanic hazards, underground water resources, environmental quality, earthquake monitoring and prediction, and geothermal exploration.

We launched a line of work related to the development of computer applications for people with special needs.

We celebrated the international competition "25 Bioclimatic Homes for the island of Tenerife". 397 projects from 38 countries were presented at the competition, which was endorsed by the International Union of Architects.
