Minesto has according to plan successfully commissioned the first unit of tidal power plant "Dragon 4" in grid-connected operation in Vestmannasund, Faroe Islands. The company announced that the commissioning results verify commercial performance and are fully in line with simulation results. The first tidal power plant from Minesto's product line Dragon Class, Dragon 4 (100 kW), has been commissioned in Vestmannasund, Faroe Islands, in early summer.

The first phase of electricity generation shows that predicted performance is achieved in line with Minesto's previous forecasts and simulation results. The progression in Vestmanna creates positive effects for the coming scale-up, and the work of realizing the first full-scale tidal energy array in Hestfjord, Faroe Islands, proceeds according to plan.
