About SEASTAR
The Sustainable European Advanced Subsea Tidal Array (SEASTAR) project will deliver a 4 MW tidal farm of 16 tidal stream turbines – the largest number of turbines deployed in a single location globally.
Building on the success of Nova’s previous 6-turbine array in Shetland, SEASTAR will utilise Nova’s well-proven turbines to deliver the large-scale 16-turbine array at the EMEC Fall of Warness tidal site in Orkney. Jointly funded by the EU Horizon Europe programme and the UKRI, the SEASTAR project will run from December 2023 to February 2029.
