In 2024, engineers lowered a 28-ton underwater kite off the Faroe Islands; it generated up to 1.2MW by flying figure-eights faster than the tide

An innovative underwater kite created by a Swedish company is making waves in renewable energy. This device generates significant electricity by flying in figure-eight loops, allowing it to gain speed while harnessing tidal forces, even in weaker currents. With the promise to unlock extensive marine energy resources along U.S. coastlines, further enhancements and regulatory permissions are crucial for broader deployment in the United States.
