Minesto's commercial microgrid scale powerplant, Dragon 4, is now installed and produces electricity to the Faroese grid.  This work is a preparatory first step of the microgrid project partly funded by Swedish Energy Agency and in close collaboration with project partners including Faroese utility company Sev.

The Dragon 12 power plant has been successfully recovered to shore in Vestmanna after a 10-month grid-connected period. Extensive inspections and evaluations of system status will be conducted. Initial conclusions show that the system condition is as expected with signs of wear and tear after withstanding ocean conditions and exceeding set service intervals

Operations will continue throughout spring and summer primarily to serve delivery of the microgrid project ("ETRIC"), and to accommodate study visits from international commercial partners.
