The ‘world’s first’ fully-operational tidal array in Shetland has been delivered with over 80% Scottish supply chain content.
Nova Innovation announced yesterday that the second in a series of three 100 kW turbines was deployed this month, making this the first offshore tidal array in the world to deliver electricity to the grid, according to the company.
The developer said that the project has 100% EU content with more than 80% of the supply chain coming from Scotland, demonstrating Nova’s commitment to local supply chain engagement.
Simon Forrest , Managing Director of Nova Innovation said: “Deploying the second turbine truly sets us apart and showcases our technology. I would like to thank all our staff, partners and suppliers for helping to make our vision a reality.”
