CENTRE FOR ADVANCED TESTING, VALIDATION AND INTEGRATION OF INDUSTRIAL SUBSYSTEMS FOR THE WIND SECTOR

WINDBOX is the first Advanced Manufacturing Centre for Wind power in Euskadi, aimed at improving the competitiveness of Basque suppliers in the wind power sector and their technological positioning in the international markets.

Basque companies  Antec, Erreka, Glual, Grupo Wec, Hine, LauLagun and Siemens Gamesa, coordinated by the Basque Energy Cluster, set up the WINDBOX initiative to develop cutting-edge testing facilities allowing integration and validation of subsystems for multi-megawatt wind turbines (> 5MW).

WINDBOX was launched in 2014 and promoted by the Basque Government as part of the Basque Country Advanced Manufacturing Strategy. It has also been supported by the Gipuzkoa Province Council and IK4-Tekniker research institute.
