  • Oceans of Energy launches groundbreaking NS3 floating solar farm in Belgium, showcasing efficiency and innovation in offshore renewable energy projects.

Dutch offshore solar company Oceans of Energy has launched the North Sea Three (NS3) floating solar farm in the port of Oostende, Belgium. The NS3 is the result of the company's technology standardization, modularity, and simplicity, allowing for assembly in less than one day. This efficiency enables Oceans of Energy to scale up to 200 MW formats.

The NS3 floating solar demonstrator is the first grid-connected offshore solar farm at the Blue Accelerator – Maritime Innovation and Development Platform, supported by the European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency. Oceans of Energy focuses on environmentally friendly projects and aims to integrate offshore floating solar and wave energy into future multi-source parks, providing renewable energy options for densely populated countries like Belgium.
