Ocean Power Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:OPTT) is currently engaged in commercial activities of renewable energy by deploying advanced technology called as PowerBuoy systems. These convert the mechanical energy of the oceans created by the rise and fall of the waves to electrical energy. The country has been successful in its venture through more customization of the PowerBuoy products. It offers the system in two categories – Utility PowerBuoy System and the second the Autonomous PowerBuoy system. The former system provides electricity directly to a grid which services a particular region or area. The second is a system developed to generate electricity where there is no local grid, such as remote locations.
Additional suits include the suit raised by Robbins Geller Rudman& Dowd LLP – a class suit action- to fight Ocean Power Technologies, Inc. The violation by the company is with relation to federal securities law. The announcement noted that there were four other investigations concurrently into Ocean Power Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:OPTT) operations and Board of Director activities.
As renewable energy use factors increase, OPTT has definitely set the course of action on the technology front. It now needs to spruce up the management aspect to ensure high standards of operations.
