Default Utility-scale tidal "Kite" powerplant exporting to grid as of 9/2/2024

Minesto's fully operational grid connected currently exporting Dragon 12 looks like some sort of futuristic military drone – but it behaves remarkably like a kite underwater. It uses lift generated by tidal flows to fly patterns faster than the currents, harvesting renewable energy. https://newatlas.com/energy/minesto-tidal-kite/

"The utility-scale tidal powerplant Dragon 12 – rated at 1.2 MW – has been successfully commissioned and, in the early morning of February 9, 2024, delivered its first electricity to the national grid in the Faroe Islands."
