SIMEC Atlantis Energy was saddened to hear of the decision by Naval Energies to place Open Hydro into liquidation. SIMEC stands ready to work with developers around the world to continue to deliver commercial scale tidal power projects as the Levelized Cost of Energy (“LCOE”) continues to fall for traditional three bladed pitching and yawing horizontal axis tidal turbine arrays.
Earlier this year, SIMEC submitted a proposal for a 1GW tidal stream array in Raz Blanchard, Normandy to the French Government which would deliver power at less than the current price of offshore wind in France by 2025.
