BiFab has been awarded the contract for fabrication of the sub-structure for 1MW turbine, which will be installed at the European Marine Energy Centre in Orkney next year.
ScottishPower Renewables (SPR), a major shareholder in Hammerfest Strom for the last five years, has already submitted a planning application to install ten HS1000 machines at a tidal-power array in the Sound of Islay on the west coast of Scotland.
Beyond this, SPR is developing a 95 turbine project at Ness of Duncansbay in the Pentland Firth as part of the Crown Estate’s first marine energy leasing round.
