Hybrid energy raft could power 1,000 homes daily with wave, wind, solar | The power plant is a 38-meter raft with wind turbines and solar panels, generating about 1 MW with a 40% capacity factor.


NoviOcean's innovative Hybrid Energy Converter combines wave, wind, and solar power, generating double the energy of wind alone.

The firm claims that HEC’s modular design and proven components make it easy to produce, install, and maintain, with a low environmental impact and higher power-to-weight ratio than offshore wind. Skjoldhammer hopes to scale the solution in collaboration with offshore wind farms, having accepted the award alongside Cemvision, a fossil-free cement manufacturer. However, Sweden could still benefit from electricity generated off Norway’s coast, where waves and wind are ideal, supplying green energy to regions like Östersund and Karlstad.
