Minesto develops a unique solution for harvesting tidal power energy.
Encubator Portfolio Company from 2006.
Minesto develops and commercializes cost-effective power plants that utilize tidal currents for electricity generation. Power generation from tidal stream flows can be predicted with substantially higher accuracy compared to other renewable energy sources such as wind and wave power. Opportunities for tidal power generation are enormous while the industry is still largely underdeveloped.

Solution
Deep Green
High efficiency, low impact
The Deep Green device being developed by Minesto converts tidal stream currents into electrical energy via a two-stage process. The first stage increases the relative flow speed entering a turbine. The second stage uses a conventional plant to convert kinetic energy into electrical power. The net result is increased power from a device with smaller package size. The concept is thought to be particularly effective for lower energy tidal sites.
