Tidal turbine feeds 100 MWh to grid

Rolls-Royce has achieved a milestone in the deployment of tidal energy technology with confirmation that its prototype tidal turbine has fed over 100 megawatt hours of electrical power into the national grid.

The turbine unit is semi-buoyant and can be easily towed to and from the point of operation, minimising installation and maintenance costs by avoiding the need for specialist vessels.
