The Norwegian company Ocean Sun will lead a project in La Palma, where it will install a floating photovoltaic solar platform that combines renewable energy generation with a water desalination system.
The initiative is part of the European project Isla Bonita, which aims to promote sustainable solutions to address climate change in the island territories of Europe.
Ocean Sun will be responsible for carrying out the pilot project at the port of Tazacorte in La Palma. The installation will have a capacity of 310 kWp and will allow for the study of energy generation under real marine conditions.
In addition to the solar installation, Ocean Sun will also develop a rainwater collection and cleaning system for the operation of the plant. The idea is to apply this technology in coastal areas with high energy costs and water supply issues.
However, this will not be the first time the Norwegian company develops a project in the Canary Islands. It is worth noting that in 2023, it launched the BOOST project, which was the largest floating solar system over a European ocean.
