Posted by Big Gav in , , ,

Reuters has a report on a small tidal power development in the UK - Norway's Hammerfest Strom gets UK tidal power grant.

Hammerfest Strom UK Ltd. has received 3.9 million pounds ($6.2 million) from Britain's Carbon Trust to build and test a one-megawatt (MW) tidal power generator off the Scottish island of Orkney, the company said on Tuesday.

The British arm of Norwegian tidal power developer Hammerfest Strom AS expects the tidal turbine to be fully operational by 2011.

After testing the new HS1000 turbine, the company will work with ScottishPower Renewables (IBE.MC: Quote, Profile, Research) to integrate it into a 10-MW tidal power farm in the Sound of Islay by 2012.
