New Jersey-based OPT says the station “has been built as an open platform, and can therefore provide "plug and play" connectivity for any offshore energy device linked to it.” The underwater trials included pressure testing, running electric power to and from the system, and verification of data communication capabilities.
The tests are part of an engineering, procurement and construction contract which OPT has with Iberdrola Marinas de Cantabria, a special purpose company whose shareholders include Spanish utility giant Iberdrola, Cantabria regional development agency Sodercan, Spanish energy agency IDEA and oil and gas major Total.
