Anyone know enough about how the tides work to comment insightfully on the potential consequences of large-scale tidal energy extraction, and whether it's actually renewable?

@paka Offshore wind farms are how I earn my wages. The challenge with all tidal turbines is that anything in the sea gets covered with marine life with limits as a result to efficiency. Tidal turbine schemes such as Orbital, MeyGen, Hydrowing etc are just on the brink of realising commercial-scale deployment but a long way yet from making significant contributions to the grid.
Offshore wind farms, which are mostly above sea level technology with only foundations below the water-line, have a longer lifespan and a more reliable return on a very significant financial investment. Hopefully in future such new technology will be tried and tested and maybe even commercially viable co-location options, unfortunately I couldn't read the article in The National without subscribing.

Could this simple idea revolutionise #Scottish #energy industry?
The idea is to co-locate specially designed “Tide-Torrent” #turbines on the #sea floor alongside #offshore #wind farms.
Water moving past wind turbine foundations gains speed, McAnally said, suggesting smaller #tidal generators could be positioned to capture that extra energy.

Don't often post work on here, but we've just published our 2025 UK Ocean Energy Review report, summarising progress in the sector over the past year.

META (Marine Energy Test Area, not the giant social media blob) have released a video about the TIDEGEN project I was working on for the last year, and was away on site for a lot of September/October.
Listen to the CGEN team explain the project and enjoy the views of the area, while I appear in the background at various points: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byU8M2eD2O8

#Underwater #turbine spinning for 6 years off #Scotland’s coast is a breakthrough for #tidal energy
Keeping #gridscale turbine in place in harsh #sea environment that long is a record that helps pave the way for bigger #tidalenergy farms and makes it far more appealing to investors, according to trade association #Ocean Energy #Europe. Tidal energy projects would be prohibitively expensive if turbines had to be taken out of the water for maintenance every couple of years.

A turbine in Scotland hits a ‘very significant milestone’ in a breakthrough for tidal energy.
Submerged in about 40 metres of water off Scotland's coast, a turbine has been spinning for more than six years to harness the power of ocean tides for electricity.
Keeping a grid-scale turbine in place in the harsh sea environment for that long is a record that helps pave the way for bigger tidal energy farms.

Inside the underwater turbine farm set to generate clean energy from France’s tides.
A tidal farm featuring the world’s most powerful underwater turbines is being built off the coast of Normandy after winning EU funding.
One of France's first commercial-scale tidal energy pilot projects, NH1 is due to supply thousands of locals with clean electricity.

Starmer to court UAE for British nuclear power plant investment
Story by Matt Oliver, Dec 7, 2024
"Sir Keir Starmer will court the powerful bosses of United Arab Emirates’ (UAE) sovereign wealth funds this week as he seeks to raise funding for the Sizewell C nuclear project.
"On a tour of the Gulf, the Prime Minister is expected to court investment into British infrastructure, including the proposed nuclear power plant on the coast of Suffolk."

#AI and [#ComputerChip] Manufacturing Drive #Japan's #Nuclear Energy Expansion
By ZeroHedge - Dec 11, 2024- Japan's #Shimane nuclear reactor has restarted for the first time since the 2011 #Fukushima disaster, marking a significant step in the country's renewed embrace of nuclear power.
- Tech giants like #Meta are actively seeking nuclear power solutions to meet the growing energy demands of their #DataCenters and AI initiatives.
- The global resurgence of #NuclearPower is driven by factors such as increasing energy needs, the push for decarbonization, and advancements in nuclear technology."The world continues to 'warm' back up to nuclear, with the latest example coming out of Japan, where its Shimane nuclear power station in western Japan has been restarted for the first time since the 2011 Fukushima meltdown.
"Japan's long-delayed restart of the 820 MW No. 2 reactor at the Shimane plant, shut down since January 2012, raises the number of operational reactors to 14, with a total capacity of 13,253 MW, according to Reuters.
"#TohokuElectricPower also recently resumed operations of its 825 MW No. 2 reactor at the #Onagawa plant, reducing Japan's reliance on liquefied natural gas and thermal coal.
"Reuters writes that the expanded use of nuclear energy is expected to support Japan's growing power needs, particularly for #semiconductor plants and AI-driven #DataCenters."

GOOD! Japanese #Nuclear Reactor Disqualified Under Post-#Fukushima Safety Standards
Published Nov 13, 2024
"#Japan's nuclear regulator has disqualified the country's #Tsuruga No. 2 reactor from restarting for the first time under post-Fukushima safety standards.
"The #NuclearRegulationAuthority (NRA) announced Wednesday that #JapanAtomicPower Co. had failed to adequately address potential #SeismicRisks from active fault lines near the reactor, located in #FukuiPrefecture.
"The decision is a setback for Japan's energy policy, which aims to expand nuclear power to bolster energy stability and meet carbon neutral goals.
"'We reached our conclusion based on a very strict examination,' said NRA Chairperson Shinsuke Yamanaka. He called the eight-year review process 'abnormal' due to frequent disruptions from data inaccuracies and errors by Japan Atomic Power Co."
