This is a huge milestone for the deployment of clean, renewable energy from tidal stream and we hope it will be the first of many tidal turbines installed in Japan.” I would also like to recognize the work of the Scottish Government who continue to support and champion the tidal industry and maximize the benefits to Scotland. Throughout the project we have also received great support from our strategic partner, KME, who was supported by a consortium of local and international stakeholders. Graham Reid, the recently appointed CEO of SAE, said: “We are proud of our team, who worked efficiently and most of all safely during a worldwide pandemic, to bring tidal stream energy to Japan. "Offshore construction of the tidal generation equipment took just five days to complete, beginning with the laying of the cable, landing of the foundation structure and ballast to the sea floor, connection of the cable, and finally the installation of the turbine to the foundation," SAE said. The SAE designed and manufactured AR500 tidal turbine was assembled at SAE’s operations and maintenance base at Nigg Energy Park in Scotland.
The project included leasing tidal generation equipment and providing offshore construction services to Kyuden Mirai Energy (“KME”) for a pilot turbine located in the straits of Naru Island, within the southern Japanese Goto island chain. "The tidal turbine clocked its first 10MWh of generation within the first ten days of operation and is now producing clean electricity in Japan," the company said Monday. Simec Atlantis Energy (SAE) has informed that its Scottish built tidal turbine and generation equipment have been successfully installed in the Goto Island chain in Japan.
