According to representatives from the Chilean research team, scale model testing of the Lafquenewen wave energy converter (WEC) has been completed at the FloWave Ocean Energy Research Facility at the University of Edinburgh, marking a notable step toward marine energy deployment off the coast of Lebu.

The research stay, conducted in collaboration with the Austral University of Chile (UACH), the University of Edinburgh, and RWTH Aachen University, focused on strengthening international ties for the development of marine energy in Chile.
