Sea Kite Project:
Swedish-based Minesto has applied to fix its underwater energy ‘kites’ in the sea off Holyhead on Anglesey.
It is part of plans for a 10MW underwater power plant, supplying the power needs of about 8,000 households.
Developers said it would be the first full-scale operation of its kind in the world, following quarter-scale ocean testing off Northern Ireland.
The technology uses tidal currents to force water through a turbine as the underwater kites “fly” through the sea.
