The test centre will be located in Mayo
Planning permission has been granted for a new test centre to investigate the potential of innovative airborne wind energy technologies.
The centre, located in Mayo, is being developed by global renewables company RWE, in partnership with Ampyx Power, a Dutch company that is developing the wind energy technology.
Airborne wind energy systems harness strong and steady winds at altitudes greater than several hundred metres, but with considerably lower infrastructure costs when compared with wind turbines.
