This is quite interesting £7m grant for CoTide

Meygen being one of the partners

Strange the report is not available now

Here is another albeit with a different picture

In the picture that looks like an EU flag and TIGER as in project Tiger🤔

Thanks for the reply Timaeus was probably describing his thoughts on the universe rather than an AR tidal turbine but I get your drift 👍

Morning Strangy

“ Atlantis Resources’ AR2500 which is currently under development”

https://tethys.pnnl.gov/project-sites/sound-islay-demonstration-tidal-array

Guess I should have added AR3000 which proteus are developing

https://interregtiger.com/expanding-the-marine-energy-market/development-sites-and-procurement/le-raz-blanchard/

However I have no information that the 4th turbine has been upgraded thus the question to Timaeus who seems to imply that it has been upgraded.

Evening Timaeus do you know for sure that Proteus has retrofitted /upgraded the 4th turbine?

Have looked haven’t been able to find anything obviously an upgrade to AR2000/2500 would have a huge impact and certainly worth upgrading the other turbines.

Agree with TL thanks for the pics .

Shame about the RNS but it is SAE

Anyway this stood out to me

“ Directors have been advised by their auditors that the audit is substantially complete and that there are no material audit issues causing this delay.”

Could well be fitting matts at same time ?

TECHNICAL PROPOSAL

There will be a total of 8 mattresses placed at the MeyGen site. 4 will be ARC Marine’s Marinematt and 4 will be the Fleximat provided by SPS. Both types of mattresses will be placed over one of MeyGens export cables and monitored for biological colonisation over the course of the project using ROV photogrammetry comparisons and video surveys.

2.1 Marinematts – 6m x 3m x 0.3m

Marinematts (Figure 1) are a carbon neutral alternative concrete mattress for cable and pipeline protection that ARC Marine are offering to the offshore and coastal markets. ARC Marines mattresses have various Nature Inclusive Design (NID) elements encapsulated within them to cater for a higher biodiversity when compared to traditionally used, high carbon, concrete mattresses.

Thanks for the pics MT hard to tell from the perspective if the blades are any longer ( which would result with higher output )although the transportation cradle is definitely higher.

You never know SAE might update us …..but then again probably not . At least we know something positive is happening.

Siem Day now at Meygen site

Thursday, July 6 · 10 - 11am BST

Join us for an engaging community event where H2 Green will provide an update on the exciting Shoreham Port Green Energy Hub project. Discover how this innovative development combines renewable energy and green hydrogen assets to contribute towards a greener and more sustainable future.

At this event, representatives from H2 Green will share the latest progress on the project and its potential benefits for the local community, from improving air quality, to reducing emissions, and creating local jobs. Our aim is to foster open dialogue and address any questions or concerns you may have.

Together, let's explore the potential of the Shoreham Green Energy Hub and its positive impact on our community. Join us for an enlightening session and be part of the conversation shaping a greener tomorrow.

These are worth a read DD77

Regarding funding for Shoreham

https://ph3.co.uk/beyond-blue-accelerator/

Thanks for the informative post Timaeus do you know the situation with the subsea hub ?

Sure I read some problem with vibration caused by cables possible that could be solved with new concrete mats due to be installed?

This is one of SAEs previous interests

https://www.offshore-energy.biz/alderney-invites-bids-for-new-tidal-energy-projects/

I guess Normandie Hydroliennes AKA Proteus Which SAE still have a stake in will be showing an interest as a lot of the groundwork will already have been

Done.

Details of ship to be used at Meygen looks big enough for a turbine ?
