Wavepiston has successfully installed the first of four upgraded energy collectors that were prepared for deployment. This is thereby the first of the 3rd generation energy collectors that will be installed at PLOCAN in Gran Canaria. We expect the other three energy collectors to be deployed in the coming period, when weather windows and vessel availability allow us to do so.
Earlier in January we moved the energy collector from the port of Arinaga to Taliarte, which is closer to the deployment site. By splitting the transport, we shorten the required offshore operations per activity, thereby increases the number of usable weather windows. In other words, we create more flexibility in our deployment plan.
The paddles (a.k.a. sail of the energy collector) have been taken off the energy collector for storage and transport.
