The Arago Technology team have successfully secured £100k of funding from the UMIP Proof of Principle fund to enable to team to carry out a number of activities over the next 12 months.

The focus for the PoP funding is to enable the team to carry out a more detailed market research study in collaboration with the TSO’s.  It will also enable the team to understand the potential this technology has across other parts of the industry and develop a clear vision through to product launch. 

The funding will also assist in a series of long term environmental trials, planned for later this year, in collaboration with a number of TSO’s. Trails aim to take place at both coastal and high altitude locations, these are seen by the industry as the harshest of environments for any transmission line.
