US EditionUnderwater turbine spinning for 6 years off Scotland’s coast is a breakthrough for tidal energy
- The MeyGen tidal energy project off the coast of Scotland has achieved six years of continuous operation with its underwater turbines, which is a 'very significant milestone', according to Rémi Gruet, CEO of Ocean Energy Europe.
- The project has four turbines, each generating 1.5 megawatts, collectively providing enough power for up to 7,000 homes annually.
- Fraser Johnson noted that converting land-based wind turbines for underwater use presents significant challenges.
- Copping highlighted that regulatory issues and environmental effects need to be addressed for wider tidal energy adoption.

How Scotland’s underwater turbine is a breakthrough for tidal energy
Submerged in about 40 meters (44 yards) of water off Scotland’s coast, a turbine has been spinning for more than six years to harness the power of ocean tides for electricity—a durability mark that demonstrates the technology’s commercial viability. Keeping a large, or grid-scale, turbine in place in the harsh sea environment for that long is a record that helps pave the way for bigger tidal energy farms and makes it far more appealing to invest…
