Swedish marine energy developer Minesto intensifies activities in Taiwan to establish the company’s unique Deep Green technology in the Asian market. Local staff have been recruited to a newly established subsidiary to run the development of a tidal stream site in Keelung together with the National Taiwan Ocean University. A natural next step is to deploy Deep Green in the Kuroshio current, which could see the world’s first electricity generated from ocean currents.

Minesto intends to develop a smaller Deep Green device, DG100, which will provide the company with an additional commercial product to open new markets and business opportunities, including those in Asia. At the same time, Minesto intends to intensify and expand its activities for market penetration to establish the company’s unique Deep Green technology in more markets.

An updated Cost of Energy analysis of Minesto’s unique ocean energy technology shows substantial improvements compared to previous estimates.
“These new results convince me that our technology is transforming ocean energy into one of the most cost-effective energy resources”, said Dr Martin Edlund, CEO of Minesto.

Minesto has awarded Jones Bros Ruthin (Civil Engineering) Co Ltd the contract to construct the foundation for Minesto’s first commercial-scale tidal energy power plant. Due to the delivery time for the new foundation, the first installation in Holyhead Deep will be moved forward.
“We are well positioned to meet time frames and deliverables towards our public funding partners, to demonstrate the unique advantages of the Deep Green technology and develop this required source of renewable energy”, said Martin Edlund, CEO of Minesto.

Minesto has decided to engage a new supplier for the construction of a gravity-based structure (GBS) foundation for the company’s first Deep Green installation in Holyhead Deep, as a consequence of the discontinuation by current supplier Ocean Resource Ltd.
“We have taken immediate actions to ensure the continuation of the Holyhead Deep project”, says Martin Edlund, CEO of Minesto.

Leading tidal energy developer Minesto has taken yet another important step towards commercialisation of its unique Deep Green technology in Welsh tidal streams, as the company has received marine license for a 0.5MW installation in Holyhead Deep. 

Minesto’s warrant program TO1 is now completed with 91 percent of outstanding warrants being exercised. This means that Minesto will add approximately 75 SEK million in proceeds to the further development of the unique tidal energy technology Deep Green.

Swedish-based companies Minesto and Stena Line engage in a joint project to invest in Wales’ transition to renewable energy. Stena Line will build an assembly hall in Holyhead, which Minesto will utilise in their upcoming rollout of the company’s unique technology to generate clean electricity from the ocean.

Leading marine energy developer Minesto has today announced that the company intends to expand the commercial roll-out of its Deep Green technology in Holyhead Deep, North Wales by taking steps to increase the planned installed capacity of its tidal energy array to 80 MW.
“This substantial scale-up of the Holyhead Deep project’s commercial strength makes it even more attractive to site investors and creates early opportunities for sales of Deep Green power plants”, says Dr Martin Edlund, CEO of Minesto. 

Minesto’s largest owners BGA Invest and Midroc New Technology have announced that they will invest an additional 34 SEK million in the company by exercising all of their warrants held in Minesto AB. This announcement was communicated by the two main shareholders as the subscription period of the warrants begins.
