Launch of world’s most powerful tidal turbine

The world’s most powerful tidal turbine has taken the next step towards deployment in the Orkney Islands, an archipelago off the north-eastern coast of Scotland and home to some of the strongest tidal currents across the globe. Constructed by Scottish engineering company Orbital Marine Power, the so-calledNO2 will ultimately be connected to the local electricity grid to help provide clean and sustainable energy to the communities of Orkney.
