The installations use powerful ocean currents to generate energy. According to the company, these turbines are 60 times more powerful than traditional wind turbines. Unlike wind, ocean currents provide a constant energy flow, allowing turbines to operate almost 90% of the time, compared to 30% for their wind counterparts.
TidalWatt turbines, with a diameter of only 3 meters, can produce up to 5 MW of electricity, comparable to the power of a 180-meter-diameter wind turbine. Moreover, these turbines are environmentally safe and create conditions for the formation of artificial reefs, contributing to marine life protection and preventing trawling. This is a real breakthrough in alternative energy sources.
