Pelamis P1A machines unveiled in Portugal



The Aguçadoura wave farm project was presented at the Peniche shipyard on the 12th of May. The event, coordinated by Enersis and Ocean Power Delivery, was witnessed by four Secretaries of State of the Portuguese Government, namely Defense & Sea Affairs, Transports and Environment, who classified the Pelamis as an “advanced wave energy conversion technology”. The wave farm, which will be installed this summer, will be rated at 2.25 MW at this first stage.

On the 16th of May the Portuguese Minister for Economic Affairs & Innovation, Manuel Pinho, also visited the Peniche shipyard and the three Pelamis machines.
