Scottish floating tidal turbine technology provider Orbital Marine Power Ltd has successfully launched its 2MW tidal turbine, the Orbital O2, from the Port of Dundee Forth Ports Limited.
The operation was managed by Osprey Group and saw the 680-tonne tidal turbine transferred from the Forth Ports quayside facility in Dundee into the River Tay using a submersible barge.
The launch marks the completion of the turbine build, managed by TEXO, and the O2 will now be towed to the Orkney Islands, where it will undergo commissioning before being connected to the EMEC: European Marine Energy Centre , becoming the world’s most powerful operational tidal turbine.
