The National Renewable Energy Centre, Narec, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Technical Research Institute of Sweden (SP), to further combined collaborative R&D activities and establish a formalised strategic partnership to strengthen existing capability in the area of offshore renewable energy.
There already exists a great deal of synergy between the two Centres, with both organisations bringing complimentary assets and knowledge to the table in the areas of wind turbine blade testing and demonstration activities. For Narec, this framework for cooperation marks the next stage of development; establishing international collaborations is a key dimension in strengthening and enhancing Narec’s existing capability as well as reinforcing its links with European research centres.
