(Phys.org) -- An underwater turbine being used for harnessing tidal power to generate electricity for homes and businesses has successfully completed its testing period in the island of Eday, one of Orkney’s northern isles. The machine marks the first to be used in Scotland’s ambitious tidal power project, with more turbines at more sites planned

EDAY, Scotland, May 17 (UPI) -- An undersea turbine using tidal power to generate electricity performed successfully in initial tests off the coast of Scotland, a private energy company said.

An underwater turbine that is set to be used in Scotland’s first and only consented tidal-power project has completed initial testing.

An UNDERWATER turbine destined to form part of a major energy project is already using tidal power to produce electricity for homes on a Scottish island.

A subsea turbine which uses tidal power to generate electricity has successfully completed initial tests off Orkney.

The working document goes on to admit that much more work needs to be done to assess the impacts marine renewable energy (MRE) devices-such as tidal, wind, and wave technologies-on ocean habitats, ecosystems, and seascapes.

An underwater turbine destined to form part of a major green energy project is already using tidal power to produce electricity for homes on a remote Scottish island.

Peter Hain yesterday announced he is stepping down from front-line politics. Hain, 62, has quit his post as Wales spokesman for the Labour Party. He said he wants to spend more time campaigning for a tidal energy barrage across the River Severn between England and Wales.

HALIFAX - The government of Nova Scotia has set a target to replace 10 per cent of the province's current power supply with tidal energy over the next decade and beyond.
