Ocean Sun AS ("Ocean Sun") has entered into a non binding memorandum of
understanding (MoU) with ACEN-Silverwolf Pte Ltd ("ACEN-Silverwolf"), a joint
venture renewables platform between ACEN Renewables International Pte. Ltd.
("ACRI"), the international investment arm of ACEN Corporation (ACEN:PSE) and
Silverwolf Capital Limited, to establish a strategic framework for the
deployment of Ocean Sun's floating solar technology across selected Asian
markets.
Subject to securing relevant approvals and finalization of the definitive
documentation, the parties intend to enter into a binding collaboration
framework with a focus on accelerating the development and deployment of utility
scale floating solar installations in freshwater reservoirs and inland water
bodies.
Ocean Sun will leverage its patented technology and established maritime

"This MoU establishes a clear pathway to scale Ocean Sun's floating solar
technology together with a highly experienced renewable energy developer. It
supports our capital light licensing strategy in the utility segment and
provides a structured route from pilot projects to utility scale deployment,
particularly in competitive freshwater environments."
Kelvin Yuen, Chairman of ACEN-Silverwolf, said:
"Ocean Sun brings a floating solar technology that has been developed and
refined over many years, with a clear focus on robustness and suitability for
freshwater installations. For ACEN-Silverwolf, this is an important
consideration as we assess technologies that can be deployed at scale across our
