Operations and business developments

Ocean Sun and Statkraft have completed the re-installation of the first 500 kWp floater in Albania. Commissioning and connection to the grid opened April 1st . The remaining 1.5 MWp will be installed in a second phase later in 2022.
Ocean Sun and Statkraft have signed an agreement to construct a 2 MWp floating solar power plant on Statkraft's 72-megawatt hydropower plant in Banja, Albania. The first 0.5 MWp floater was successfully built and connected to the Albanian grid in June 2021. However, only a few weeks later the floater and two connected barges experienced an incident during a tornado. Following the incident, Ocean Sun has conducted a thorough root cause analysis and implemented a design for high winds and new operational practices. These have been verified by meteorologist and naval architects from well reputed third-party institutions.


In March 2021, Ocean Sun and MP Quantum Group ("MP") entered a longterm agreement to develop floating solar based on Ocean Sun's proprietary technology, near shore and on inland reservoirs in Greece and Cyprus. During 2021, MP worked diligently to prepare the market for utility scale projects and to prepare for the construction of a demonstration system. Work with the demonstration system is progressing nicely and the plan is to construct a 2 MWp nearshore demonstrator. When built, the system will be the largest of its kind and pave way for larger installations in the future.
As one of EU's most southern countries, Greece has excellent solar irradiance which provides good yield for solar power investments. Further, Greece's National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) has established ambitious renewable energy targets highlighting plans for 35% of the energy to be derived from renewable energy sources (RES) by 2030 and to phase-out lignite-based energy production by 2028. According to HELAPCO, a non-profit organization representing the major Greek PV companies, this implies an average of 400-500 megawatts (MW) of installed PV capacity per year until 2030. With long coast lines, islands and inland water reservoirs, this provides an excellent fit with floating solar.


In the end of September 2021 Ocean Sun signed an agreement with Sunneng Technology and String Capital for the construction of a 1 MWp demonstrator system in Yantai, in the Province of Shandong, China. The project is progressing well and orders for long lead items have been placed. The plan is to start construction during Q2. With support from the Yantai Economic and Technological Development Zone, there is also substantial potential for utility-scale projects on the site going forward.
This nearshore demonstration system is unique in China and will also create local awareness and qualify Ocean Sun for utility-scale installations with other parties in China, South Korea and Japan.


Sunseap Group is a solar energy system developer, owner, and operator in Singapore, with a pipeline of close to 10 GWac of solar energy projects across Asia . Its solar energy systems can be found on more than 3 ,000 buildings in Singapore, including public housing estates, as well as commercial and industrial buildings . Sunseap also operates in various territories across the Asia Pacific, including Vietnam, Cambodia, China, Taiwan, Japan, Thailand and Malaysia . Sunseap is part of EDP Renewables (Euronext : EDPR), a global leader in the renewable energy sector and one of the world's largest renewable energy producers .
"This project is another significant milestone for Sunseap as we continue to explore alternative methods to deploy solar PV systems in land scarce Singapore . Floating PV systems have the potential to generate more solar energy compared to traditional rooftop and ground -mounted solar PV systems . " – Says Frank Phuan , Business CEO and Co -Founder of Sunseap Group . He adds : "Ocean Sun's innovative floating PV system is highly efficient, robust and can be easily installed, and we look forward to collaborating on other projects in future . " He adds : "Ocean Sun's innovative floating PV system is highly efficient, robust and can be easily installed, and we look forward to collaborating on other projects in future . "
The goal is that this project will pave the way for utility scale developments in Singapore and Southeast Asia . The system will be the largest floating solar installation in the Singapore Strait and construction is scheduled during 2022 .


The Magat Pilot will pass the 3-year anniversary mark in Q2 2022 and has gone through three typhoon seasons with strong winds and high precipitation without damage or other negative impacts to the structure. It is the largest and longest operational floating solar installation in the Philippines.
With comparable conditions on main installation and reference; the floating installation still demonstrates good production vs. the land-based reference system with ~10% higher output due to the cooling of the modules.
SNAP is following the performance of the system closely and views the pilot as a great success. SNAP's CEO, Joseph Yu, has announced that SNAP intends to expand the floating solar installation on the Magat Dam with 67 MWp1.
The 223 kWp demonstration plant was commissioned in June 2019 and is built on the Magat Dam, located in the middle of the Philippine typhoon belt. The system is designed to withstand wind-speeds of up to 275 km/h.
