Equinor has announced a new research project which is claimed to be the world’s first floating solar pilot plant in rough waters.
The plan is to build a project off the small island of Frøya near Trondheim in Western Norway in the late summer of 2021 – it will be carried out alongside technology company Moss Maritime.
The project will measure 80 square metres, will be trialled for a minimum of one year and is designed to explore how the weather conditions affect the plant.
Hanne Wigum, Head of the Equinor Technology, said: “If we succeed here, we can succeed anywhere. We have reached an agreement with the grid owner, allowing the electricity that is produced to enter the power grid on Frøya.”
