Candela and Canopy Power have partnered to implement floating charging stations for electric hydrofoil ferries in the Asia-Pacific region. This collaboration aims to reduce reliance on diesel generators in remote islands by utilizing Ocean Sun’s floating solar technology to power Candela's P-12 vessels.

The P-12 ferry, which operates more efficiently than traditional hulls, will be charged using energy generated by the microgrids designed by Canopy Power. The initiative seeks to lower operational costs and carbon emissions while promoting a sustainable transport ecosystem. Both companies plan to engage stakeholders to demonstrate the benefits of this new water mobility solution.
