Atlantis supplied, Scottish manufactured tidal generation
equipment arrives in Nagasaki, Japan ahead of deployment in the
Naru Strait
Atlantis is pleased to announce an important update in
delivering Scottish made tidal generation equipment to Japan. The
Atlantis designed and built tidal generation system has arrived in
Nagasaki harbour, Japan having left Scotland in October. It will
now be transported in January 2021 by support vessels to the
designated deployment site in the Naru Strait, located between the
islands of Naru and Hisaka in the Goto Island chain.
We are pleased and honoured to be working alongside our
strategic partner, supported by a consortium of local and
international stakeholders, to bring tidal stream energy to Japan.
The AR500 tidal generation system will be deployed at the Naru
Strait site initially operating at a capped maximum generation
output of 500kW, as data collection (performance and environmental)
and device validation are undertaken for the client and Japanese
regulatory bodies.
Drew Blaxland, Director of ATES Division, commented:
"Given the obvious challenges COVID presented during the turbine
building program in Scotland this year and the logistical
challenges presented during transit more recently, we have still
managed to deliver a turbine quayside in Japan before Christmas. To
see this AR500 machine arrive in Japan, a first of its kind here,
is a great achievement. Our focus now is in getting the power
export cable, foundation and turbine nacelle installed safely, then
we all look forward to this Scottish built turbine delivering
predictable, sustainable renewable energy for Japan post
commissioning."
