Furthermore, the 1.2 MW Dragon 12 tidal energy kite has been recovered to shore in Vestmanna following a 10-month grid-connected period, with extensive inspections and evaluations of system status to now be conducted.

According to the Swedish firm, operations will continue throughout spring and summer, primarily to serve the delivery of the microgrid project (ETRIC) and to accommodate study visits from international commercial partners.
