TT2
Large scale Tidal Stream Energy is closer than you think
About Us
Tidal Technologies Limited (TTL) is a UK-based marine energy developer, originally founded in 2021, as a collaboration between Jamie Scrimgeour and DWR Offshore (re-named Achelous energy), a specialist offshore engineering consultancy. Since then, Jamie has been joined by David Scott and Jim Conybeare-Cross, making a strong core management team with the necessary skills and experience to drive the business forward.
Our investors include a group of highly experienced high net worth individuals and senior management from the energy / renewables industries. Their commitment to TTL is considerable, giving us the financial resources and wide ranging depth of knowledge needed to achieve our ambition of bringing large scale tidal stream energy to the UK and beyond.
TTL submitted UK and international patent applications for TT2 in 2022 and has recently received the first grants of patent confirming that the critical elements of the design are protected.
Jamie Scrimgeour
Founder Director
Before founding TTL, Jamie spent 12 years in investment banking followed by a varied entrepreneurial career, in retail, product design, manufacturing in the Far East, financial services, and property development in the UK. His interest in tidal power stems from growing up and sailing in the Channel Islands, known for their powerful tides. In 2020, inspired by the foiling catamarans in the 2013 America's Cup, which used stiff wing sails instead of traditional sails, he envisioned adapting vertical wing sails to harness offshore tidal energy, leading to his invention of TT2.
