Orkney Cabinet - Scotrenewables Tidal Power

Scottish Government Summer Cabinet in Orkney.

 

Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon announced that five marine energy developers will benefit from a total of £7.9m in support from the WATERS 2 fund (Wave & Tidal Energy: Research, Development & Demonstration Support) to further develop testing of new wave and tidal prototypes in the seas around Scotland.

She visited one of the recipients, Scotrenewables Tidal Power Ltd – awarded a £1.2 million grant to support the company's project to design, construct and install a two-megawatt SR 2000 commercial-scale floating tidal turbine – and viewed the company's SR 250 (kW) tidal turbine prototype in Kirkwall.
