WaveNET Array - Mingary Bay
Albatern installed its WaveNet array featuring six, 7.5kW Squid devices at a fish farm off Ardnamurchan. The WaveNet array is powering Marine Harvest’s fish farm in Mingary Bay. Power generated by the project, backed by £720,000 funding from Wave Energy Scotland, was transmitted to the fish farm’s feed barge via a subsea cable. The project was designed to demonstrate how wave power can replace diesel generators traditionally used to power fish farms.
