“At Oceans of Energy we foresee that land space is too scarce for renewable energy. We believe the future lies at sea. It is the world’s oceans that offer abundant potential for clean energy. We develop and deliver floating solar systems which generate clean energy at offshore locations, independent of sea and wind conditions.”
