Black Rock Tidal Power (BRTP), a Schottel Hydro company, has once again pushed back the deployment of its Triton tidal energy platform in the Bay of Fundy for another year.
The objective of the study, conducted by Ecorys and Fraunhofer IWES, was to point out failures and good practices/lessons learnt in ocean energy technology development in Europe in relation to tidal and wave energy.
The project, dubbed Tidal Energy in Australia – Assessing Resource and Feasibility in Australia’s Future Energy Mix, will create an online atlas mapping tidal energy nationwide to the nearest 500 meters. It will also involve a full feasibility study of two high potential sites, and modelling of existing tidal energy devices at these sites.
Cape Sharp Tidal has submitted the second quarterly Environmental Effects Monitoring Program (EEMP) report to Nova Scotia Department of Environment. The report, filed at the beginning of July, provides an update for the second quarter of the monitoring program, which ran from February until April 2017.
