EURO-TIDES - EUROpean Tidal energy pilot farm focused on Industrial Design, Environmental mitigation and Sustainability

There is 10GW of predictable, high-value tidal stream energy potential in European waters, with up to 100 GW of capacity globally . This is an almost entirely unharnessed clean energy resource, with just 13 MW currently deployed .

Transitioning European market leading technologiesfrom single deployments, up to farm scale, isthe next milestone in harnessing this clean, predictable,secure, domestic energy resource.

EURO-TIDES has been developed specifically to address the call topic by delivering a 9.6MW farm of four 2.4MW Orbital tidal energy devices of the same series. The farm will operate in full operational conditions for 15-years, deploying in 2027.

The EURO TIDES consortium will work collaboratively to deliver six ambitious objectives and drive the sector forwards: 1.

De-risking tidal energy technology development by delivering a 9.6MW pilot farm and three pilot farm system innovations; reducing Levelised Cost of Energy (LCOE) of Orbital’s floating tidal technology from €120/MWh to
