GOTHENBURG, Sweden, May 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Minesto, leading ocean energy developer, continues operation and testing activities in Vestmanna, Faroe Islands. The Dragon 12-megawatt tidal kite 'Luna' is in electricity production, following an upgrade period most prominently including a longer tether.
