Offshore wind giant Equinor from Norway has revealed that it will work with Moss Maritime to explore opportunities for offshore solar power generation and plans to test it
on Frøya Island.
"If we're successful here, we can be successful anywhere," said
Hanne Wigum, head of Equinor's technology division wind and solar business.
According to the plan, Equinor will build a floating solar pilot power station near Frøya in late summer 2021, which will also be the world's first floating solar power station
built on seawater.
The Frøya government has been positive about the pilot project and is involved in it
.
Currently, Equinor has submitted an application
to the Norwegian Water and Energy Agency.
With a planned area of 80 m x 80 m, the plant will undergo tests
for at least one year.
The project is a collaboration
between Equinor and tech company Moss Maritime.
According to Equinor, the purpose of the pilot is not to see how much electricity it can produce, but to see how weather conditions affect the power station
.
The Norwegian coast and continental shelf are world-class in terms of oil, gas and wind, but other regions clearly offer better conditions
when it comes to solar energy.
As a testing area, Frøya is still a good fit
.
The plant will also be an important milestone
for Moss Maritime.
"We have been working on this concept for the past three years, most recently through a collaboration with Equinor, which is quite mature
both technically and economically.
" Alexander Thøgersen, Vice President Engineering at Moss Maritime, said: "The floating pilot plant will be an important step towards the commercialization of the technology and an important means to
further develop and optimize the concept.
”
It is reported that this is the third research project
on floating solar power plants in which Equinor participates.
The remaining two are located in Sri Lanka and the Netherlands
.
All three are located in different water surface environments in order to test the resilience and predictability
of power generation under different environmental conditions.
