A floating tidal stream turbine off the coast of Orkney has produced more green energy in a year than Scotland’s entire wave and tidal sector produced in the 12 years before it came online.

In 12 months of full-time operation, the SR2000 turbine supplied the equivalent annual power demand of about 830 households.

Its developer claimed the machine – the most powerful of its kind in the world – had set a benchmark for its industry due to its performance.
....
It produced 3GWh of renewable electricity during its first year of testing at the European Marine Energy Centre.
Everywhere [coastal] and all the time.
