EU Innovation Fund Backs Minesto Tidal Kite Farm

The EU Innovation Fund is backing Minesto's 'Euro Dragon Farm' tidal kite array, a project that uses underwater kites tethered to the seabed to generate electricity from ocean currents. Minesto, a Swedish marine energy company, has developed its Dragon-class tidal kites as a way to harvest power at sites where conventional tidal turbines are impractical. Supporters of marine energy point to tidal power's predictability as a complement to wind and solar, though costs and reliability at commercial scale remain open questions.
Why now: Fresh EU funding news for an unusual tidal energy technology is drawing attention from clean-energy watchers.
