ORPC Ireland will play a key role in the SHINES project--deploying and operating an ORPC RivGen Power System at Fondation OPEN-C's grid-connected test site in the Garonne River, Bordeaux, France, and developing a pipeline of follow-up installations. This will be the first deployment of an ORPC commercial system in Europe. Last fall ORPC Ireland conducted successful turbine testing at the Queen's University Belfast Marine Laboratory (QML) Tidal Test Site in Strangford Lough, Northern Ireland, generating electricity for the first time outside the U.S. and Canada. #ORPCIreland #SHINES #RivGen
🤝 Launch of #SHINES A project to Harness Tidal and River Energy Potential in North-West Europe The SHINES project is set to unlock the potential of tidal and river energy systems. North-West Europe is a prime location for #tidal and #riverenergy development, thanks to its unique natural features. Despite its potential, tidal and river energy requires further investment to overcome political, economic, and regulatory hurdles. SHINES will address these challenges by replicating and scaling up three innovative solutions through Pilot Actions in France and the Netherlands. 📍 As project leader of the SHINES project, at #FondationOPENC we're looking forward to the challenge of developing several tidal turbine projects, by leading the project and in particular by testing them at our 2 dedicated sites: Paimpol-Bréhat and SEENEOH. ✊ With the 14 partners, we are confident that the enthusiastic and fresh team assembled by #SHINES will succeed in our core mission: accelerating the energy transition in a sustainable way!
