BERLEVAG, 16 June 2021 – The Haeolus project is very excited to announce that finally, on the 15^th of June 2021, KES, in collaboration with Hydrogenics and Varanger Kraft, started the first of a suite of tests developed by Tecnalia for the energy-storage control strategy. With this, the 2.5 year long demonstration phase is officially started, after several delays due to the Covid-19 pandemic and other factors. The tests were run from Benevento in Italy to demonstrate remote operation, which is a key feature of Haeolus.

The plant in Berlevåg is remotely controlled from Benevento, on the other side of the continent.This article originally appeared on the Haeolus Project website.
