General – MoU
Scottish ocean energy pioneer Mocean Energy has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Netherlands-headquartered floating solar developer SolarDuck.
The strategic collaboration aims to deliver hybrid power systems that combine SolarDuck’s cutting-edge floating solar platforms with Mocean Energy’s innovative wave energy technology.
Together, the companies, which have both individually received investment from Norwegian clean-tech fund manager Katapult Ocean, will target applications for remote offshore sites in various sectors, including energy, defense, and the broader Blue Economy.
Based on combined ocean energy and floating solar technologies, the pair will deliver a high-level joint concept that provides clean, reliable energy for power, communications, and auxiliary systems to support remote offshore assets.
Both Mocean Energy and SolarDuck are backed by Katapult Ocean, a leading Norwegian investor in clean and ocean-tech, which underscores the strategic alignment of our vision. At a broader level, this partnership reflects a growing movement toward leveraging offshore renewables to address power challenges and accelerate decarbonisation across the Blue Economy.
Mocean Energy has already showcased the viability of its innovative wave and solar-powered technology through the successful deployment of its Blue X wave energy converter prototype.
As part of the Renewables for Subsea Power programme, this prototype, which can be seamlessly integrated with battery storage systems, has demonstrated its ability to provide consistent and reliable renewable power in offshore environments.
