Minesto has successfully installed the tidal power plant Dragon 4 at the newly added second foundation in Vestmannasund.
The upgraded tether design is developed in a targeted R&D project that aims to further improve the production performance by reducing resistance in the water. The project is executed in collaboration with the Swedish Energy Agency.
