Thunder España has recently signed an agreement with E.ON España and CIC Consulting Informático to undertake together an innovative project for the renewable energy sector. The objective of the project, nicknamed PAUL, is to deliver an advanced tool for the management and simulation of electric distribution grids to which renewable energy sources, wind farms in particular, contribute significantly.

The project is scheduled for completion in two years and will be partially funded by the regional Government through a grant from the Sodercan Group to promote industrial R&D in renewable energy.
