Minesto’s Dragon 12 hits three-month testing milestone

Ocean energy developer Minesto has reached a significant milestone with its tidal kite Dragon 12, marking three months of uninterrupted testing since its installation in February 2024. The Dragon 12 has been reliably connected to the grid and performing as anticipated at its site in Vestmanna, Faroe Islands. This period also sees the operation of an array of tidal kites, including the 1.2 MW Dragon 12 and a 100kW Dragon 4, providing crucial production data for future array expansions.
