Proteus Marine Renewables has successfully deployed Japan’s first-ever tidal energy system, the AR1100 tidal turbine, in the Naru Strait. This groundbreaking system will generate 1.1 MW of clean energy, helping to decarbonize the Goto Islands and strengthen Japan’s renewable energy transition.
Building on the success of the AR500 pilot project in 2021, which achieved an impressive 97% turbine availability, Proteus has now enhanced pitch and yaw systems to optimize performance even further.
Why This Matters:
✔ Reliable & Predictable Power – Unlike wind and solar, tidal currents provide consistent, renewable energy for coastal communities.
✔ Advanced Engineering – Featuring composite blades and a permanent magnet generator, the AR1100 turbine maximizes energy capture from tidal flows.
✔ A Cleaner Future for Japan – As Japan expands its renewable energy mix, tidal power will be crucial in reducing fossil fuel dependence and ensuring a stable energy future.
This marks a major milestone in renewable energy technology. Proteus is leading the way in scaling tidal energy for global markets!
