Emilsen Fisk and Alotta have installed the world’s northernmost floating solar farm in Båfjordstranda, Norway. The project aims to reduce dependence on diesel generators , which currently power 40% of Norwegian fish farms. These generators, although necessary, represent a significant source of carbon emissions and high operating costs.
Floating solar farm transforms aquaculture in Norway
To address this issue, Emilsen Fisk, in collaboration with Alotta, is implementing the Alotta Solar Hybrid 120 solar hybrid system. Combining solar power with traditional energy sources such as diesel generators, this system will provide a cleaner and more economical solution for aquaculture operations.
With the support of the Enova climate and energy fund, which covers up to 45% of the project costs, the effort seeks to consolidate the aquaculture industry as an example of energy transition towards cleaner sources.
Floating solar technology for more sustainable aquaculture
The Alotta Solar Hybrid 120 system has been designed to meet the challenges of extreme maritime conditions and ensure a constant power supply even during periods of bad weather . For Alotta, this project highlights the potential of its technology to transform the energy industry and reaffirms its commitment to sustainability.
This is another step towards creating a sustainable aquaculture model that benefits the companies involved and contributes to the reduction of global emissions. Emilsen Fisk, with its ecological vision and innovative approach, is leading the way in the transition towards cleaner energy sources in the aquaculture sector.
