The Port of València now hosts both 500 kW PV-bos platforms that make up the 1 MW offshore floating solar energy demonstrator developed by BlueNewables. With the installation of the second unit, BlueNewables, with the support of Naturgy, has completed the deployment of the demonstrator, which is now entering its testing phase to validate the performance of this technology under real operating conditions.
