With nearly 63% of the UK’s seas, it's of little surprise that Scotland is at the forefront of tidal energy developments. In fact, it’s estimated that we have up to 25% of Europe’s tidal resource, and 10% of the wave resource. Today, the revolutionary tidal turbine technology developed by Orbital Marine Power sits off the coast of Orkney. With its turbine blades suspended beneath a floating platform instead of being fitted to the sea bed, has the potential to meet the electricity demands of around 2,000 UK homes.
