The first British designed tidal turbine located at Northern Ireland’s Strangford Lough has produced its first electricity for the grid. Marine Current Turbines have been working on the technology for a number of years now and this commercial scale turbine is the first in the world. When the turbine is fully commissioned it is expected to generate some 1.2MW of power. 'Tidal Farms' using these turbines are already planned for the UK and Canada.
