BBC : When two turbines off the coast of Shetland, an archipelago off northern Scotland, were recently connected to the country’s electrical grid, they became the first offshore tidal generators to provide commercial electricity. The two 100 kW generators were installed by Nova Innovation, an Edinburgh-based tidal energy company. Scotland has invested significantly in tidal energy generation because the country has some of the most powerful tides in Europe.
