Scotrenewables Tidal Power Ltd is a renewable energy research and development business based in the Orkney Islands.The Scotrenewables Tidal Turbine is a unique floating tidal technology designed to minimise installation and operational costs. The system has been extensively trialled through scale model testing and a 250kW prototype -the SR250- is currently generating power in a two-year test programme in Orkney.
