Scotland has made a major leap in renewable energy by deploying the most powerful tidal turbine ever built. Anchored in fast-flowing waters, this engineering marvel converts the kinetic energy of ocean currents into clean electricity. At full capacity, it can power over 2,000 homes and prevent 2,200 tonnes of COâ‚‚ emissions annually.
Unlike wind or solar, tidal energy is predictable—it can be calculated years in advance based on the moon’s gravitational pull. This makes it a highly reliable source of green energy that can supplement other renewables.
The turbine’s installation marks a milestone in the shift toward sustainable power solutions. If replicated globally, tidal technology could supply millions of homes with stable, carbon-free electricity, helping fight climate change while preserving marine ecosystems.
