GOTHENBURG, Sweden, Feb. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — CEO Dr Martin Edlund: «A year of global brand and technology exposure and grid-connected electricity production with commercial-scale powerplant»
Significant events October-December 2025
On 28 October, Minesto announced the outcome of the company’s rights issue of up to 82,364,595 shares. 33,436,356 shares, corresponding to approximately 40.6 percent of the Rights Issue, had been subscribed for with the support of subscription rights. Additionally, applications for subscription of 575,828 shares, corresponding to approximately 0.7 percent of the Rights Issue, had been received for subscription of shares without the support of subscription rights. In aggregate, the subscriptions with the support of subscription rights and the applications for subscription without the support of subscription rights correspond to approximately 41.3 percent of the Rights Issue. Hence, guarantee commitments of 19,501,329 shares, corresponding to approximately 23.7 percent of the Rights Issue, will be utilized. The Rights Issue provides the company with proceeds of approximately SEK 99.0 million before deduction of costs related to the Rights Issue.
On 30 October, Git Sturesjö Adolfsson resigned as a member of the Company’s Board. Deputy Board Member Andreas Gunnarsson assumed her position.
The Board of Directors resolved to allow Fenja Capital to set off its outstanding loan claims, including accrued interest, totalling approximately SEK 22.2 million as payment for part of the shares that Fenja Capital has been allocated and subscribed for in the Rights Issue.
On 8 October, Minesto invited investors and the public with an interest in technology and energy systems to a unique opportunity to experience firsthand the tidal energy kite Dragon 4 «Íðunn» as she was brought home for a break from production duty at the company’s demonstration site in the North Atlantic where it produces electricity to the Faroe Islands grid. The event attracted around 150 guests.
In October, Minesto was part of a high-level Swedish delegation to South Korea aiming to explore new partnerships and strengthen bilateral collaboration in the green transition. The delegation was led by HRH Crown Princess of Sweden and supported by Swedish minister for Foreign Affairs and Swedish minister for Infrastructure and Housing. The delegation was part of Focus Asia – Sweden’s strategy for trade and investment in the region. Extensive tidal and ocean current resources make South Korea a highly attractive market for Minesto.
In November, Minesto participated in high-level Swedish business delegation to Canada in connection with the royal couple’s state visit. The delegation, led by the Swedish Minister for Energy and Business and Minister for Defence, aimed to strengthen Swedish-Canadian relations and promote innovation with focus on AI, defence & security and electrification. Significant ocean resources with tidal streams and political support for ocean energy make Canada a highly attractive market for Minesto.
Minesto was selected to be part of InnoEnergy’s annual industry event The Business Booster, this year in Lisbon in October. InnoEnergy, initiated by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), is Europe’s investment company at the forefront of clean energy transition and Minesto was invited as one of the industrial scale-ups driving Europe’s energy transition.
Minesto announced that incentive programme LTI 2021 was completed, LTI 2025 will commence and that major shareholder, the CEO and other senior executives have increased their shareholdings.
The Company’s Board of Directors dismissed a claim for damages directed against them from the former major shareholder BGA Invest AB as unfounded. The claim for damages is allegedly based on the Board of Directors’ resolution to allot shares to BGA in the Company’s rights issue carried out during autumn 2025.
After the end of the period
In January, Minesto was selected for in-depth investment advisory support by the European Investment Bank (EIB) under the PDA (Project Development Assistance) programme. The program offers extensive free of charge financial advisory support to a few carefully selected investment opportunities within the renewable energy sector in the EU. The Minesto investment case chosen for the programme is a 10MW Dragon Farm (tidal energy array) located at a new targeted site within EU waters. The EIB advisory support focus’s on increasing the financial attractiveness and overall quality of the investment offer, aiming to raise 25 M EUR in capital.
Minesto was awarded 24,000 EUR grant funding from the Swedish Energy Agency (SEA) through the Global Innovation Accelerator (GIA) programme, aiming to accelerate the company’s market development in Taiwan. As part of the programme, Minesto officially took part in the high-level Nordic-Taiwan Sustainable Energy Forum, held in Taipei in December.
Minesto initiated collaboration with expert ocean energy site developer Haf-Afl for the Icelandic market. Minesto continues to follow through with a market entry strategy based on collaboration with strong local site development and project investment partners. With the signing of a new partnership agreement (MOU) with ocean energy site developer Haf-Afl, the Icelandic market is added to Minesto’s range of markets actively pursued.

Minesto | Investor information
CEO comment:
A year of global brand and technology exposure and grid-connected electricity production with commercial-scale powerplant
2025 was the year we showed our technology to the world with the largest communication campaign ever for an Ocean Energy Technology, together with our strategic partner SKF. The Faroe Islands Space Program has so far resulted in more than 500 million exposures. We also promoted our unique Dragon Technology at the World Exhibition in Japan, at high-level Swedish state visits to South-Korea and Canada. Showcasing our Dragon 4 unit in Göteborg created interest from to Philippine and Indonesian key stakeholders. This year’s external communication is arguably the broadest brand and product exposure ever for a novel renewable energy technology. We are overwhelmed by the level of enthusiasm and number of commercial inquiries into our Dragons derived from this exposure. Invitations to tender, requests for feasibility assessment of new sites and engagement with new local site-development partners are at record levels. Our main task is now to turn these opportunities into business.
In order to manage the commercial roll-out, we have reshaped the Minesto team to deliver on this number one priority to reach solid commercial deals and broaden the range of infrastructure projects, both in our priority market Faroe Islands and in additional 16 follow-on geographic markets (still counting). This creates short term opportunities for sales of site development services and step in installation projects as well as outlining a medium/long term project pipeline. The now existing Dragon farm project pipeline strongly motivates the substantial global market and scaleup into Gigawatt deployment volumes.
During 2025, we have tested our megawatt power plant Dragon 12 extensively. The megawatt machine has provided valuable production and operational data, proved robustness and stability beyond commercial service intervals. We now choose to limit electricity production with the Dragon 12 due to reduced access to cost effective marine operational resources (our local installation vessel is undergoing service). In parallel, we are preparing together with our partners and the local utility Sev, for production into the new microgrid set-up at Vestmanna by upgrades onshore and at the seabed. We have formed a consortia to offer microgrids, with initial joint investments of 56 MSEK to install and demonstrate a complete microgrid with battery storage that is «market ready».
We have also advanced our understanding of «the value of tidal in the grid mix» by developing an in-house power systems analysis model and applying it on the Faroe Island energy system. Our initial conclusions from this work is very promising in favour of tidal energy from Minesto dragons:
- We create an energy mix where tidal energy production from different geographic locations feeds base-load energy into the grid.
- We deliver a cost effective 100-percent renewable energy system with minimum storage needs and build out of over capacity.
This work gives us a hands-on sales tool that provides in-depth understanding of how our Minesto Dragons can be implemented in an energy system to provide renewable base-load energy to deliver an affordable and feasible energy transition in the many global markets with a tidal energy resource.
The geopolitical market context is changing with more limited verbal support from leading politicians on sustainability. However, the energy transition is happening at a faster pace than ever in terms of megawatts installed and investments committed. No political hesitation will stop this transition, since it is driven by commercial logic and creation of clear customer value. The most significant shift in priority on energy policy is related to increased focus on security of supply. This is an additional strong argument for relying on tidal energy from our Dragons. Moving away from fossil imports from politically unstable countries into geographically distributed ocean renewable energy based on local operations is most helpful. Minesto Dragon farms that are distributed in-shore and hidden from view in the water column are among the strongest options available to deliver real security of supply.
We impatiently push forward to deliver Dragon-generated tidal energy to the world.

Tengo varias preguntas sobre esto a ver si me podiais aclarar:
-¿Puedo hacer un ingreso regular de 800 euros y me cobran 0euos de comisiones y mto.?
-¿Puedo sacar el dinero cuando quiera?,¿todo ó tengo entendido que hay que mantener un mínimo de 100 euros los 30 meses?
-No necesito pero me obligan a sacar una tarjeta de débito que me cuesta 11 euros el primer año y 22 euros la renovación, también otra de credito que me cuesta 0 euros el primer año y 35 euros la renovación.
¿Hay que mantenerlas 13 meses?
¿Puedo cancelar alguna de ellas desde el principio?
¿Puedo cancelar alguna de ellas antes de la renovación?
¿Hay alguna tarjeta de credito más barata?
Aparte de la cuenta nómina he visto que también que para que te den la tv también se puede sacar una cuenta tarifa plana básica o personal, ¿sabeis algo de estas cuentas?¿que requisitos tienen?
Muchas gracias a todos por responder
Yo fui a informarme y te cuento. Únicamente admiten los ingresos regulares en el caso de que seas autónomo. Te abren una cuenta Tarifa Plana Cero que está exenta de comisiones y presenta alguna ventaja más. Sobre dejar un mínimo de saldo en la cuenta no es necesario, pero sí te obligan a mantener varias tarjetas durante los 30 meses con un coste aproximado de 100 euros anuales.
hola buenas!
me llamo javi y estoy dudando de que banco, me puede dar mas beficios, sin sorpresas por domiciliar la nomina, ya que llevo años en la caixa y no me da nada ningun beneficio. es mas me rechazan los prestamos que solicito, ni siquiera una targeta de credito, por alegan de que siempre esta a cero la cuenta, yo cuando cobro la nomina dejo el dinero para los pagos, y saco el resto, pues no me fio, de que un dia me quede sin dinero, ya que esta todo muy mal, corre riesgo mi dinero o mis ahorros en el banco?? muchas gracias y un cordial saludo.
javi
NO TE EXTRAÑE QUE NO TE DEN LOS PTMOS, PORQUE LO QUE VEN ES QUE NO TIENES CAPACIDAD DE AHORRO PORQUE SIEMPRE DEJAS LA CTA. EN MINIMOS, ASI NINGUN BANCO TE LO VA A CONCEDER. TAMBIEN ES VERDAD QUE LA CAIXA, COMO TANTAS OTRAS CAJAS, TIENE EL PUÑO CERRADO PARA LOS RIESGOS, PARA REMONTAR. NO TE PREOCUPES, QUE POR UNA NOMINA NO CREO QUE NINGUN BANCO SE COJA LAS MANOS. LOS QUE SE TIENEN QUE PREOCUPAR SON LOS QUE TIENEN DÉPÓSITOS Y FONDOS EN BANCOS DE DUDOSA ACTIVIDAD. LA GENTE SE PIENSA QUE PORQUE LES DEN UN 7% YA ES UN GRAN BANCO Y SE EQUIVOCAN. LO QUE LES PASA ES QUE EL BANCO DE ESPAÑA LES PRESTA EL DINERO MAS CARO Y POR ESO OPTAN POR CONSEGUIRLO EN EL MERCADO MONETARIO, Y SI EL BANCO DE ESPAÑA NO SE FIA DE ELLOS, VA Y SE FIA LA GENTE. QUE LOS BANCOS NOES LA ADMON PUBLICA, ABRAN OS OJOS.
Hola , cuando vallais al banco queos dejen lo que hay que pagar de irpf y de iva sobre el valor de la tele ya que en la mayoria de bancos esto no lo dicen y luego llagan las sorpresas .A mi ya me ha pasado con la promoción del portatil y nunca me hablaros de esto . Cuidado
Yo he estado calculando y la tele entre unas cosas y otras te sale sobre unos 250euros que tampoco regalan tanto .Hay oficinas en las que han dado la occión de poner un dinero a plazo fijo a 12meses de 9300euros o 6800euros a 18 meses.
No es ningún chollo. Te obligan a contratar dos tarjetas de crédito que tienes que pagar porque las tienes que mantener 13 meses por lo menos y además llevan unos costes desproporcionados si las utilizas. En total, no usando las tarjetas y anulándolas una vez cumplidos los 13 meses puedes ahorrar unos 38 euros con respecto al precio de ese televisor en una gran superficie. Y además luego vendrá que te cobran para hacienda la retención correspondiente, por lo que probablemente incluso en las mejores condiciones te cueste más que si ahorras un poco y lña compras directamente.
Creó que teneis toda la razón, que aqui no te regalan nada, ya que a mí me paso con unas sartenes que regalaban el banco bilbao, que al final entre el irpf y el descuento de Hacienda, al final me salieron caras, así es que no os tomen el pelo, que al final siempre esta la letra pequeña que es la que nos joroba, por no decir otra cosa.
Yo saque el portatil y ahora me he sacado la TV LCD 32. Estas promos no hay que declararlas. No es obligado domiciliar nomina. Si, meter en la cuenta 800€ todos los meses en un margen de 10 dias. Cero matacero, pero cero,cero, cero de gastos de mantenimiento, ni por recibos, ni por el correo a casa, ni por transfer. Las tarjets gratis el 1er año. Resto fuera. Dadas de baja Menos la de debito. Banesto no pierde nada, ganar, gana clientes que es el proposito de esta promo. Precio de portatil y tv 32 en mercao unos 900€ los 2. En banest 197€. Los hay mejores, nos ha jodio! portatiles a 1200€, TV LCD 32 a 1000€. Señores, son lentejas. Relacion calida-precio-promo es cojonud…….Un saludit a los viandantes.
hola , no se si llegara mi comentario pero os voi a esplicar. esto es el cuento de la abuela. mira yo tengo el portatil. y he cogio tab la tele, pero sabeis ke?, me ha pasado de todo. os esplico. primero me cobran 74 euros y 25 euros de unas tarjetas que yo no las he visto aparecer por mi casa , me cabreo con el banco. llamo y pido esplicaciones. me dicen que van en la promocion, nunca jamas nadie me informo de las tarjetas, no me devuelven el dinero. me cabreo y me dicen que llame aun numero de tefono para darlas de baja, se pasan los dias, intentamos darlas de baja. largas y larga, que si este numero de tefono que si el otro bla bla bla. conseguimos hablar y nos dicen que tenemos que cambiar el contrato a tarifa plana o no se ke historias, llamando al banco se pasan los dias, largas y largas. me cabreo y estoi por suspender todo, me dicen que si lo quiero cambiar y dar de baja las tarjetas que nunca he tenido. tengo que pagar comisiones cada seis meses de doce y pico euros, y que si no quiero que me cobren comisiones tengo que ir todos los meses al banco a hacerlo yo, ufffffffffff.aun hay mas. me dan de baja y me hacen la tarifa plana, se equivocan un monton de veces. me hacen pasar muchos cabreos.y al final cuando llego a casa me han cobrado 25, 50 euros. y llamo por telefono y se lo digo , me dicen claro por dar de baja la otra cuenta , la madre que los pario. ladrones. o sea os digo que la tele no sale regalada, se la cobran y muy bien cobrada , nadie da nada por nada. en cuento termine de pagar lo que debo quito todas las cuentas del banesto.espero que alguien me lea y que me conteste gracias .
Banesto ha jodido a mi marido y a un amigo tambien. Para mi, despues de Banco de Andalucía son los peores. Y quieran creerlo o no ni la television ni el portátil te lo regalan.. como no cumplas cualquiera de las reglas te sancionan con 300 y pico de euros.. porque nos hemos mudado de casa y los recibos domiciados se cortaron «temporalmente» la sancion fue de mas de 300 euros.. y el cabreo q te llevas cuando ves lo q te han descontado y luego para ir a reclamarlos.. y como te tratan !! en fin.. espero que Banesto sea lo primero en undirse en el fin del mundo!!
CHOLLO!!!!!!!!!JAJAJAJAJA…….NO ES NINGUN CHOLLO!!!!!!! te cobran 100 € de gastos de manipulacion, mas 150 € en tarjetas durante 2 años, mas 6 € mensuales de mantenimiento de cuenta durante 30 meses, total que pagas 630 Euros por un ordenador o una TV que su valor seguro que no llega a 500 €. Y encima si vas a cancelar la cuenta cuando cumples los 30 meses requeridos te hacen esperar dos horas para decirte que no tienen linea de telefono para dar de baja la cuenta, cosa que no para nunca cuando vas a contratarlo. Y del trato que dispensan….., es el mismo que si vas con un fajo de billetes de 500 € por los CO-JONES
Banesto «premia», menuda falacia…
No hay ningún banco que premie a nadie.
BANESTO NECESITA NUESTRAS NÓMINAS, Y EN CUANTO VAS UN POCO JUSTO, COMO BUENOS JUDÍOS Y ÁVAROS QUE SON, TE ACOSAN Y MACHACAN, Y TE SACAN HASTA LAS ENTRAÑAS EN COMISIONES.
DESPUÉS EL ESTADO APOYA A LOS BANCOS, CON LA EXCUSA DE QUE SI CAEN LOS BANCOS CAEMOS TODOS. LOS BANCOS NECESITAN UN BOICOT DE VEZ EN CUANDO, PARA QUE NO NOS RESTREGUEN POR LA CARA SUS BENEFICIOS.
POR CIERTO, LO QUE MÁS FASTIDIA A UN BANCO ES UNA RECLAMACIÓN EN LA OFICINA DEL CONSUMIDOR Y OTRA AL BANCO DE ESPAÑA.
ES POR DAR PISTAS…
