DG500 – The Launch of a World's First Subsea Kite


In 2018, Minesto scaled up its patented concept for generating green electricity from low-flow tidal streams and ocean currents. Off the coast of Holyhead, North Wales Minesto installed, commissioned and verified its Deep Green technology for the first time with a commercial-scale unit. This film showcases not only the great job performed by the Minesto team over the course of the year, but also how it all started and why Minesto's technology is a needed complement to other renewable energy in the global transition to a sustainable future energy system. The DG500 project is supported by EU funds through the Welsh European Funding Office.
