Atlantis Tidal’s MeyGen project site in the Pentland Firth, Scotland, has successfully produced power for the first time. When fully completed, the project is set to be the world’s largest free-stream tidal power project.

The turbine, supplied by Andritz Hydro Hammerfest, was successfully installed last week and plugged into the pre-laid cable, which connects back to the onshore control centre and grid export point, which has already been commissioned and energised.
