Out of sight, generating 24/7
Being developed in parallel with the floating WESGen®: a range of run-of-river and ocean-current hydroelectric generators with up to multi-megawatt output, easily deployed and retrieved, operating hidden from view as submersible generating farms.
Submersible WESGen®
Deliver submersible WESGen's to an area of seabed with a moving current, by support ship. Deploy, anchor down and run a power cable to land.
Release the safety brake and start generating power!
(Our 1st prototype tested was submersible!).
Build WESGen® Farms
Wesgen's in an ocean current can run 24/7, unlike Wind, Solar or Tidal power.
Multiple WESGen's can be linked together to build Energy Farms.
Seas and coastal areas can generate massive amounts of power.
Power the World!
Hydro power, generated by submersible WESGen's from millions of miles of available flowing rivers and seas with currents, can generate huge amounts of electricity, whilst being hidden from view an having an ultra low environmental impact!
Compare that to the wind and solar farms!
The first working WESGen® prototype was a submersible unit.
Filmed during trials in the River Wyre, Lancashire: the rotor turns continuously in the natural flow of the river, with no dam and no civil works. The lessons from this unit shaped the floating WESGen® designs that followed.
