A lot of figurative-ink has been spent on the possible value of tidal and wave energy rounding out the renewable energy market, but Bloomberg New Energy Finance’s Chief Editor Angus McCrone recently discussed these technologies as more trouble than they’re worth. Appearing on Bloomberg’s “The Pulse,” McCrone got into just how much … [continued]
Mere days after Atlantis Resources announced that it had not only awarded ABB the contract to install the tidal power conversion and grid connection systems at its Pentland Firth MeyGen tidal stream project, but had also raised $83 million to begin its construction, the company is now announcing they have … [continued]
Tidal energy is still quite a few coins more costly than wind energy or solar energy, but it could become cost competitive with a bit of time, development, and scaling — just as we saw happen with wind and solar energy. Atlantis Resources is an early leader in this arena. … [continued]
MeyGen’s contracted Norway’s Kongsberg Maritime (KM) to carry out underwater noise studies for its 400-MW MeyGen tidal power project in Scotland’s Pentland Firth. KM will measure and monitor noise levels from prototype Meygen tidal turbines at a European Marine Energy Center site to assess their effect on marine life before they are approved for installation at the project site.
Here’s some top tidal energy, energy storage, and smart grid news from around (& a bit of wind energy news), other than what we’ve already covered in more depth. Enjoy! (And drop us a link if you’ve got more cleantech news you think we’ve missed.) Siemens Going “All-In” on … [continued]
The world’s largest tidal turbine was unveiled last week in Invergordon, Scotland. The AK1000, as it is called, developed by Atlantis Resources Corporation, will be installed on the sea bed and connected to the grid later this summer. The turbine can reportedly generate enough electricity to power more than 1,000 … [continued]
