Both Osian, Richard and the T1 have safely made it to Ocean Energy Europe in Aviemore, where we will be hanging around at the Marine Energy Wales Stand. Unfortunately Diane got delayed by fog at Nantes, but she will arrive this morning in time to give her presentation tomorrow, updating the amazing progress Inyanga have made, including our technical advancements and project updates from Anglesey Morlais, Indonesia and Phillipines. Diane will also update on our recent takeover of the Sabella D10 and her amazing efforts to keep this iconic turbine operational. The D10 is currently providing green electrons to the island community at Ushant Island. Richard will be involved in a panel discussion this afternoon regarding direct drive versus gearbox, we will be arguing the case for direct drive. Both the T1 and the Sabella D10 are direct drive turbines and both have proven to be robust and reliable. Indeed the T1 has more running years than any tidal turbine ever produced, and is the inspiration for the design of our next generation commercial scale 600kw T3 turbine. We would be delighted to catch up during the event and explain more, so please come and see us at the Marine Energy Wales Stand

T1 to OEE2024- Why on earth would we send a tidal turbine to a ski resort in the Scottish Highlands??? Well this isnt just any turbine, this is a T1 turbine that has seen 9 years of reliable operation and is full operationally and easily capable of doing another 9 years. The T1 will be on display at the Ocean Energy Europe 2024 Conference in Aviemore- https://lnkd.in/ecW3cmnU Diane, Osh and myself will also be coming along though we will have to take the train as there wasn't enough room on the back of the truck for us. Diane and myself will be presenting to provide updates on our developments, especially our progress at Morlais and our recent take-over of the Sabella D10 turbine is Isle De Ouessant! Many thanks to Neil and Warren for getting the turbine and all painted up and organising the logistics. We look forward to showing off our iconic T1 turbine and updating you all on the development of our latest high-tech T3 turbine. We would be delighted to catch up with any of you going along to the conference.

Inyanga Marine Energy GROUP has started a crowdfunding round giving the opportunity for investors to participate in our pioneering tidal energy tech. Tidal energy is the only predictable and perpetual renewable energy. Using the world's most proven and reliable turbines we are on course to power communities with clean and predictable energy using our 'Made In Britain' tidal technology.

Inyanga Maritime have formally taken over the Sabella D10 Turbine in Passage Du Fromveur. The turbine is fully operational and providing power to the inhabitants of Isle De Ouessant (Ushant Island) from the powerful tides of the notorius Passage which joings the English Channel to the Bay of Biscay.

Offshore For Sure project meeting in Breda, delivering the next generation Tocardo BV control system and digital twin technology for predictive maintenance and through life health monitoring systems. #tidalenergy #netzerocarbon #renewables #marineenergy #renewableenergymix

The rapid development of our T-3 turbine continues at a pace with the patented Passive Bi-Blade system that allows larger 14.1m diameter blades to be fitted to capture more energy for the same thrust load, equivalent to 9.98m diameter blade.

Tocardo BV has relocated to the province of Zeeland. Tocardo BV has relocated its European operations to Vlissingen, Province Zeeland, Netherlands, while keeping its head office and workshop in the UK. This strategic move brings Tocardo closer to key partners within the Offshore For Sure project, including Water2Energy, World Class Maintenance, FLASC and University of Applied Sciences in Vlissingen. 🌊⚡ The new Vlissingen office at De Kaap in Dockwize is perfectly positioned near major offshore engineering industries, offering access to first-class harbor, workshop and event facilities. This coastal location will support Tocardo's ongoing work with WCM and Istimewa on a Total Quality Plan and readiness assessment for their T3 turbine technology along with the development of the next generation control system and digital twin technology. 🔧🌍 Tocardo is also setting up a new data centre in Vlissingen to collect and analyse project data from all their projects across Europe and beyond, stored on their datacentre located in Vlissingen, driving smarter tidal energy solutions and future turbine designs. Stay tuned for how we're leading the energy transition at sea! 🌊⚡ #TidalEnergy #EnergyTransition #CleanOceans #NetZeroCarbon #RenewableEnergy  Bluespring QED Naval Ltd HydroWing Ltd @WCM @DeKaap @Dockwize @EUInterreg @Province of Zeeland @Jo-annesDeBat

Team Tocardo gathering at our workshop facility at Gaerwen, Anglesey to develop our optimised T3 turbine which will be used for the upcoming projects at Morlais. This new highly efficient turbine is an evolution from the robust and proven T2 turbines. The key focus is on maximising the yield at Morlais while maintaining long period maintenance cycles and high reliability for which Tocardo is famous. The team have been working relentlessly, in partnership with our supply chain partners to ensure the T3 is ready for our joint AR5 and AR6 projects. Tocardo is committed to establishing a base in Anglesey and to establish local supply chain partners to ensure that we achieve high local content and maximum economic benefit to the local economy.

Our HydroWing project at Morlais has now been expanded to 20MW after our successful AR6 CFD allocation where we have been awarded a further 10MW. This allows us to build on economies of scale from our portfolio of projects to achieve commercially viable generation projects. This award is a testament to the hard work of our pioneering team and the relentless drive to make HydroWing competitive. This award further enhances our expansion in Anglesey and our commitment to develop the project in partnership with Morlais Mentor Mon to allow the site to reach its full potential and provide economic growth and benefit to Anglesey.

Our HydroWing Tidal Generation technology is leading the way in displacing thirsty and expensive diesel generators in remote island communities in SE Asia and beyond. The beauty of a tidal turbine is that you never need to fill it up with fuel- it is fuelled from the oceanic and semi diurnal tides from the surrounding sea. Tidal Energy is significantly cheaper than Diesel Generation, not to mention energy security and achieving zero emissions. The main benefit of tidal energy is that combined with very low-level storage to create base load power due to the predictability and perpetual nature of the tides- this can displace up to 95% of diesel consumption. Many of these islands are very remote and transporting diesel is very expensive. This in turn creates wealth and prosperity to these island nations by providing cheaper and more secure generation, which in turn can provide local opportunities and growth. This diesel displacement cannot be achieved with solar and wind due to intermittency, and as such we have created a ready-made competitive market for tidal power!
