Good news! The world’s most powerful tidal turbine has now started feeding energy to the power grid at the European Marine Energy Centre in Orkney – an archipelago off the coast of Scotland. The turbine, weighing 680 metric tons and 74 meters long, was anchored in the “Fall of Warness” which is a body of water with high tidal activity. The 2 megawatt generator was then connected to a sub-sea cable that then connected it to the local electric grid on land. The expectation is for the turbine to remain in operation for the next 15 years.
