Operations and business development

Banja dam, Albania

Project update

The second phase of the Banja project was completed during December, with public announcement of the same in Q1. The complete system of four floaters (2 MWp) is operating according to expectation.

Ocean Sun is continuously conducting site visits with potential customers and governmental officials to showcase the system and demonstrate our technology. During an Energy summit in the Western Balkans officials from various Balkan states and energy executives got to visit the system.

Project details

Ocean Sun and Statkraft have an agreement to construct a 2 MWp floating solar power plant on Statkraft's 72-megawatt hydropower plant in Banja, Albania. The system consists of four floaters of 0.5MWp and is expected to generate almost 3 GWh of electricity to the Albanian national grid during 2023.

The plant is Ocean Sun's first multi-ring system and as such an important milestone, demonstrating Ocean Sun's ability to provide utility-scale projects.

SPIC project, Shandong, China

Project update

Ocean Sun is cooperating closely with the owner, SPIC, for the R&D pilot in Haiyang, Shandong Province, and we are making design improvements to the offshore version based on learnings from the two units . One floater was taken ashore in late April, and the second floater will likely follow soon . We expect that an updated larger single unit will be ready for further sea -trials within the year .

The location of the experimental pilot activity is 30km offshore in the Yellow Sea, representing the most challenging waters for Ocean Sun floaters so far .

Project details

The R&D project in Shandong is the first ever attempts to integrate FPV with offshore wind . The R&D project is carried out in collaboration with SPIC as the system owner .

SPIC (State Power Investment Corporation) is the world's largest PV asset owner and will likely be a major contributor to the Shandong Province's plan for 42 GWp of off-shore solar in the next few years .

Magat dam, Philippines

Project update

Our Magat demonstrator is subject for studies under the Green Platform project HydroSun, aiming at developing a utility scale integrated hybrid power plant combining hydro, floating solar and storage. Earlier this year, representatives from Scatec, Ocean Sun and Prediktor visited the Magat dam, to exchange knowledge with the plant owner SNAP and to discuss the continuation of the project.

Project details

The demonstration plant on the Magat Dam is in the Philippine typhoon belt and is designed to withstand windspeeds up to 275 km/h. The system is owned by SN-Aboitiz Power (SNAP), a 50/50 joint venture between Scatec and Aboitiz Power, a large IPP in the Philippines.

The system was commissioned in June 2019 and has withstood four typhoon seasons without damage to the system. During the fall of 2022, Ocean Sun and SNAP carried out a larger technology upgrade with new PV panels and improved cable management.

Clean tech summit in Kerala, India

Activity update

Our CEO participated in a clean energy summit in Kerala, arranged as result of India and Norway governments close cooperation on clean energy technologies.

The summit was hosted by the Government of Kerala and Hon'ble Chief Minister, Shri. Pinarayi Vijayan. Ocean Sun, supported by Innovation Norway, met with key stakeholders in the region to discuss future collaboration and installations.

The Indian government has set ambitious climate targets for the upcoming year and more than 1.7 GWp (Bloomberg NEF) of future FPV projects have been publicly announced. As such it is an important future market for Ocean Sun.

Intellectual property update

Activity update

During 2022 and the start of 2023, Ocean Sun was granted several additional national patents, most notably for China, where our innovation patent was recently granted. Ocean Sun now has more than 60 granted patents and 45 patent applications in the relevant markets for floating solar.

The strength of our patents has also been tested against infringement, a lengthy process that was settled in March 2023. Ocean Sun commenced legal proceedings in Norway against Inseanergy AS in August 2022, claiming Inseanergy's solution for floating solar power infringed upon Ocean Sun's patent rights. In March, the parties reached a settlement agreement, following which the parties have entered into a license agreement on commercial terms.

Upcoming projects

Sunseap, Sing. strait Singapore

In March 2022, Ocean Sun and Sunseap signed an agreement for a 1.2 MWp floating PV project to be deployed near shore in Singapore.

The detailed engineering and design of the twofloat system has been completed. Orders for materials are expected to be placed during Q2 2023, with construction of the system taking place in Q3 or Q4 2023.

When completed, the system will be the largest floating solar installation in the Singapore Strait and will pave way for utility-scale developments in Singapore and Southeast Asia.

Keppel, Jurong Island Singapore

In July 2022, Ocean Sun and Keppel signed an agreement for a 1.5 MWp floating PV project to be deployed near Jurong Island in Singapore.

The project is funded by a government grant and was selected because of its potential for commercialization and scalability. Keppel, a powerhouse within construction and energy developments, has ambitious plans for floating solar in Singapore and SEA. Work is about to start with detailed engineering and placing orders for the system that is expected to be completed in Q1 2024.

MP Quantum, Nearshore Greece

In 2021, MP Quantum Group (MP) and Ocean Sun signed a long-term collaboration agreement for floating solar in Greece and the Republic of Cyprus.

Work with the two demonstration facilities, for which license fees have been paid is ongoing and orders for materials is currently being placed for the first facility. It is expected that the first demonstrator will be installed during the second half of 2023.

Market update

Market update

Southeast Asia (SEA)

  • In Southeast Asia, projects of more than 14 GWp have been announced, making it one of the FPV markets with largest expected growth. Many countries in SEA are ideally suited for FPV as they are densely populated, have land scarcity, have high and increasing need of power and good irradiation. The waves nearshore and on larger lakes along with exposure for typhoons have proven challenging for alternative technologies. The Magat facility's increasing track record and several notable partnerships give credibility to OS and comfort around our solution.
  • Large interest from various island communities for small and midsized systems to replace existing fossil-based power sources.

  • With few FPV installations to date, activity is picking up in several countries in southern Europe, such as countries on the Balkans, the Iberian peninsula in addition to France, Italy and Greece. Several tenders and research calls are being issued during 2023, bringing more interest to FPV in Europe.

  • Statkraft's multiring installation attracts international attention and positions us favorably in the market for Hydro power installments in the above-mentioned markets.

Northeast Asia (NEA)

  • NEA still accounts for more than 90% of the world's floating solar capacity, lead by China with 65%.
  • There is still growth in large project in China, mostly on flooded mines as projects on lakes and reservoirs are no longer permitted. It's expected that China will remain the worlds largest market, but more and more of this growth will come in coastal waters and connected to wind turbines.
  • Our business model is very well adapted to be a major player in China and the rest of NEA and our solution is well known in the region.

EMA Americas

  • Ocean Sun's collaboration with a local partner in Brazil is in good progress and together we have targeted several smaller utility projects up to 5MWp for development during 2023 and for larger utility projects for installation during 2024
  • The inflation reduction act has sparked large interest for renewable initiatives in the US and we can see that the market for FPV is consequently picking up.
