Tidal partners announce big turbine plans - March 19, 2014
The Province of Nova Scotia passed a law requiring 25 per cent of the electricity supply to come from renewable energy by 2015. With the help of Atlantis Resources and partners Lockheed Martin and Irving Shipbuilding we are one step closer to reaching this goal.
Atlantis and Lockheed announced this week they have decided to develop a 1.5 Megawatt AR1500 Turbine, which will soon be deployed in both the Bay of Fundy and in Scotland. This turbine is designed to facilitate operation in highly energetic tidal locations, and will be one of the largest single-rotor turbines ever developed.
