August was a record-breaking month for Scottish tidal energy, after a power station managed to generate 700 megawatt-hours of electricity. Studies show that tidal power could supply nearly half of Scotland’s power needs.
The MeyGen project, located off the northern Scottish coast near the Orkney Islands, generated enough electricity with two turbines last month to power 2,000 homes.
A third turbine is installed off the Scottish coast, promising more record breaking figures from the site. (Atlantis)
