Energy from the sea: Orbital launches O2, the world’s most powerful...
23 April 2021
Orbital Marine Power, the Scottish developer of the world’s leading floating tidal turbine technology, has successfully launched Orbital O2, a 2 MW turbine that harnesses river and tidal currents. O2 was launched yesterday in Dundee Harbour, transferring it from the Forth Ports quayside into the River Tay via a submersible barge. From here it will be towed to the Orkney Islands for commissioning and then connection to the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC).
