The government of Canada is helping to finance the country's first tidal energy array being developed by Sustainable Marine in Nova Scotia.
Canada's Minister of Natural Resources Seamus O'Regan has unveiled investment of C$28.5m (€18.4m) to help deliver the Plat-I floating tidal energy platform.
Plat-I has undergone testing on the waters of Grand Passage for nearly two years and a second platform is currently being assembled in Meteghan and will be launched later this year for testing before relocation to the Fundy Ocean Research Centre for Energy (FORCE) in 2021.
Both platforms will make up the tidal energy array.
The objective of the project is to provide up to 9MW of predictable and renewable electricity to Nova Scotia's electrical grid - link - more like this - link
