The tidal turbine in Loch Etive.
AN EXPERIMENTAL tidal turbine in Loch Etive will cease testing in April. The ‘game changing’ PLAT-I platform was installed in the Falls of Lora near Connel Bridge in November 2017 by the Orkney and Leith-based company Sustainable Marine Energy (SME).
It promises ‘low-cost’ power for island and coastal communities which currently rely on diesel, generating up to 280kW.
