Underwater turbine spinning for 6 years off Scotlands coast is a breakthrough for tidal energy

A tidal turbine off Scotland's coast has been generating electricity for six years, proving the technology's viability. This milestone is crucial for attracting investors and paving the way for larger tidal energy farms. Tidal energy has vast untapped potential, and Scotland's MeyGen project already powers thousands of homes. Overcoming hurdles such as regulatory issues, environmental effects and conflicts with other ocean users, would allow more tidal energy projects like Meygen to prosper.
