Nova Innovation will install a series of tidal turbines
between the isles of Islay and Jura in Scotland’s Inner Hebrides, creating
clean, renewable power generated by the tide that will displace fossil fuels
used on the islands, and power local whisky distilleries.
The 3MW project, dubbed ‘Oran na Mara’ which is Gaelic for ‘song of the sea’, follows the success of Nova’s tidal power scheme at Bluemull Sound that has been powering homes, businesses and the grid in Shetland since 2016.
