A new green power project planned for the waters off Shetland could be an “important milestone” in making tidal power commercially available.
Nova Innovation proposes to install a 15 megawatt tidal energy array, that could provide enough electricity to power more than a third of households on the islands.
The development, which is planned for the Yell Sound between the islands of Yell and Bigga, will be the firm’s largest tidal energy project to date, and comes after the company was awarded an option agreement from the Crown Estate.
