Atlantis Resources has installed a fourth turbine at the MeyGen tidal-power development in the Pentland Firth.
The company said that its AR1500 tidal-stream turbine was connected to the existing sub-sea production facilities in less than an hour.
MeyGen has been delivering power since November last year.
The AR1500 turbine system was designed under contract by Lockheed Martin, tested and commissioned at the Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult’s facility in Northumberland and ‘loaded out’ at Meygen’s operations base at Nigg Energy Park. Atlantis said construction of the second phase of Meygen will start later this year.
