The world’s largest tidal turbine, weighing 1000 tonnes, has been installed in Northern Ireland’s Strangford Lough. The tidal turbine is rated at 1.2 megawatts, which is enough to power a thousand local homes. It was built by
Marine Current Turbines, and it will be the first commercial tidal turbine to produce energy, when it begins operation later this year.
