These three administrations have each requested 15 million euros from the Institute for Diversification and Energy Saving. Since 2017, they have been advocating for the conventional geothermal development in the Canary Islands, supporting and co-financing surface geothermal exploration research on their respective islands through the Canary Islands Volcanological Institute (Involcan). The Insular Councils of Gran Canaria, La Palma, and Tenerife have recently promoted the implementation of public-private initiatives to boost conventional geothermal development in these three island environments. To do so, they have submitted requests to the Institute for Diversification and Energy Saving (IDAE), an entity under the Ministry of…

The institute will make the hosting capabilities of the D-ALiX Data Processing Center available to the ASTRO POC project, a pioneering initiative that will transform the observation of the cosmos from the Canary Islands. The Institute of Technology and Renewable Energies (ITER) signed a contract with the Canary Islands-based company Light Bridges to launch the high-performance computing infrastructure of the ASTRO POC project in the D-ALiX Data Processing Centre. ASTRO POC is a public-private initiative aimed at establishing an astrophysical computing infrastructure, leveraging the images captured due to the exceptional quality of our archipelago’s skies. Operated by Light Bridges, the…
Researchers from the Photovoltaic Energy Department at ITER presented the results of their investigations at the Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference held in Lisbon. This prestigious international scientific event showcased the advances made in the Photovoltaic Cells Laboratory as part of the MACLAB-PV Project. The Institute of Technology and Renewable Energies (ITER), under the authority of the Cabildo de Tenerife, participated with two scientific communications linked to the MACLAB-PV project at the 40th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition, the foremost European conference on photovoltaic solar energy conversion, held in Lisbon, Portugal, from September 18 to 22 The two scientific…

With this campaign the Institute will be able to accurately assess the production and efficiency of the new wind turbines that will be installed as part of the technological upgrade project for its three oldest wind parks The Institute of Technology and Renewable Energies (ITER) has been conducting a wind resource assessment campaign at its facilities in the Granadilla de Abona Industrial Park since June 15. This initiative employs LiDAR technology (Light Detection and Ranging), a device capable of measuring wind speed and direction at various heights using light pulses. It will enable the characterization of the current wind regime…
