Swiss energy supplier BKW FMB Energie AG has unveiled and interesting project to investors – the GOLDFISH Project, which would launch floating mobile solar power plants to help reduce CO2. This isn’t as relatively bland a project as floatovoltaics or as futuristic as solar lily pads or floating solar islands. These plants would be able to operate in inland waterways such as lakes where sunlight is abundant, and they’re basically taking the form of submarines. Yep, submarines. The project wants to be the first solar powered sub on the Thunersee Lake, which could turn profits both by energy generation and as a tourist attraction. Details are still a bit scarce, but we are soooo following up on this one…
