EURO-TIDES
European Tidal Energy Pilot Farm Focused on Industrial Design, Environmental Mitigation and Sustainability
Project Aim
Drawing from the advancements and experiences of the FORWARD-2030 and MAXBLADE EU-funded projects, EURO-TIDES is set to launch this large-scale pilot farm at the EMEC Fall of Warness tidal site in Orkney by 2027, running under full operational conditions for 15 years. Jointly funded by the EU Horizon Europe programme and the UKRI, the EURO-TIDES project started in December 2023 and will run until February 2029. EURO-TIDES aims to deliver a fully operational 9.6 MW tidal energy farm. It will be composed of four 2.4 MW Orbital Marine Power turbines to be deployed in 2027.
The project’s objectives are to:
Within the project, the Policy & Innovation Group will conduct a techno-economic assessment, building on the IEA-OES framework. We will also lead a work package on the European supply chain and circularity analysis for farm-sale tidal turbine manufacturing. Find out more at https://www.euro-tides.eu/ Project partners
This project has received funding from the UK Research and Innovation and the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and Innovation programme under grant agreement 101136085.
