Project Description
The project is located in the Inner Sound of the Pentland Firth off the north coast of Caithness, home to one of Europe’s greatest tidal resources.
The plan is to deploy up to 398 MW of offshore tidal stream turbines to supply clean and renewable electricity to the UK national grid.
