According to the company, the system has already produced several hundred kWh, which were used to power electric heaters at its quayside hub. “We are generating more than anticipated with our numeric models – a breakthrough in marine energy,” the company said. “After months of anticipation, our technology has now been deployed for testing in the Black Sea, Turkey – and the results are exceeding expectations. The test has already generated hundreds of kWh – enough to power our electric heaters in the quayside hub. Real-life energy, delivered directly from the sea.” ZOEX Power noted that the technology performed as designed, but pointed out that project management challenges provided valuable lessons for the broader marine energy community. These include the importance of robust project management systems, strong communication, early modifications before installation, and the value of engaging a local project engineer.
