Atlantis Resources is finalizing preparations on tidal turbines to be installed off Caithness, Scotland, as part of the MeyGen project, beginning in September.
The image shows the 1.5MW tidal turbine developed by Andritz Hydro.
The total of four turbines, amounting to 6MW, will be installed in the Phase 1A of the project, featuring three turbines from Andritz Hydro, and one designed by Lockheed Martin.
When fully constructed, the MeyGen tidal array will consist of 269 submerged tidal turbines, with 398MW capacity, enough to power 175,000 Scottish homes.
