Spain’s crosswind kite power sector is growing at a projected CAGR of 10.1% between 2025 and 2032, supported by its extensive wind resources and increasing focus on distributed renewable energy solutions. The country’s semi-arid inland regions, along with vast coastal areas, are ideal for kite deployment in both grid-connected and off-grid applications. One of the key drivers is the rising demand for flexible, mobile energy solutions for agricultural and mining operations in remote areas. A notable trend is the interest in combining kite systems with solar PV and storage to form hybrid microgrids, particularly in the Canary Islands. However, funding constraints and limited industrial-scale trials are slowing rapid advancement. Additionally, grid integration remains a challenge due to fluctuating power output characteristics of kite-based systems. Nevertheless, local startups are receiving EU innovation grants, and regional governments are increasingly open to demonstrating these systems under Spain’s energy transition strategy, creating a fertile ground for long-term growth.
