In Northern Ireland’s Strangford Lough was create first commercial energy-producing tidal system.Marine Current Turbines is the company behind the project and recently positioned the 1000 tonne structure onto the seabed about 400m from the shoreline.
Tidal energy has the great advantage of being predictable and no other system can harness the power of the tidal currents in the way this one can.The breakthrough power plant will be operational around mid-year with its massive 16m diameter twin rotors harnessing the tides to produce the equivalent amount of energy it takes to power 1000 homes.
Around the world, are other potential sites that could use the tides to harness a great amount of energy.
