Our Story
As with any complex engineering project, the design of TT2 has evolved considerably since conception, following much desktop work, including advanced CFD modelling, CAD modelling and scaled tank testing. This rigorous approach has allowed us to identify and resolve potential issues early, ensuring that our design is well considered and highly developed before we build and deploy our first full-scale demonstrator unit in 2026.
Idea Stage - 2020
Whilst watching Americas Cup footage, the idea of using submerged vertical wing sails to capture offshore tidal stream energy was born
1/20th Scale Test - 2022
In April 2022 a highly successful test of a 1/20th scale model was completed in the Royal Navy's ship testing tank, run by Qinetiq, in Gosport, Hampshire.
Fundraising - 2024
In February 2024 we completed a fundraising round of £3.6m, allowing us to proceed with the detailed design, build and deployment of our first full scale TT2 unit.
Achelous Energy contracted - 2024
Achelous Energy contracted for the development and detailed engineering design of TT2.
30MW berth agreed - 2024
30MW berth agreed at the consented Morlais tidal energy demonstration zone off Anglesey, North Wales.
Patent granted - 2024
Patent granted by UK Patent office in October 2024
Looking Ahead
Demonstrator construction - 2025
TTL has identified and is in discussions with a number of potential construction and assembly sites around the UK for the first full scale demonstrator.
Demonstrator Deployment - 2026
A single TT2 unit will be deployed, tested and optimised at the Morlais tidal energy demonstration zone off Anglesey, N. Wales, UK.
First Array - 2027
The first array of 15 units, producing up to 30MW is planned for the Morlais site
Larger Arrays - From 2029
TTL has plans for large scale arrays around the UK and beyond.
