Leading the Way in Tidal Energy

MARINE ENERGY
SOLUTIONS

First Company to Receive a Commercial License for Tidal Power in the United States.

First Technology to Receive a Power Performance Certification (PPC) from the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).

Verdant Power is at the forefront of advancing the global tidal energy industry to make tidal energy technology available worldwide. We focus on validating the unique benefits of clean, renewable, and reliable tidal energy and creating lasting partnerships to expand the marine energy industry.

Get to Know Our Tidal Turbine Systems

The central component of the Verdant Tidal Turbine System is a three-bladed horizontal-axis turbine.  The turbine is equipped with a composite rotor with three  blades that rotate at a slow and regular rate, well below normal water vessel propeller speeds and conventional hydropower turbine blade speeds.

The drive train and generator are enclosed within the nacelle, including a special integrated long-life planetary gear box and bearing housing with mechanical shaft seals for the main shaft. The sealed nacelle is supported on a pylon that attaches to a seafloor mount, which can vary depending on site and project specifications.

Get to Know Our Projects

The Roosevelt Island Tidal Energy (RITE) Project

The RITE Project operated under a 10-year Hydrokinetic Pilot Project License from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and a 401 Water Quality Certification from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.

Verdant Power conducted in-water testing of its turbine system, successfully demonstrating the technology as an efficient source of clean energy.

Verdant Power Awarded Berth in the Morlais Development Zone

A visionary tidal-stream energy project with the potential to generate up to 240 MW of electricity. It is located off the coast of Holy Island, Anglesey in Wales, UK.

The project aims to benefit local communities, the economy and help tackle climate change by using renewable energy to generate clean low carbon electricity. 

News & Updates

On September 10, 2024, the U.S. Testing Expertise and Access to Marine Energy Research (TEAMER) program announced the selection of 13 projects through its thirteenth Request for Technical Support (RFTS), reflecting a total funding amount of nearly $2.1 million. These projects will receive support for testing expertise and access to numerical modeling, laboratory or bench testing, tank/flume testing, and expertise within the growing TEAMER Facility Network

Inyanga Marine Energy Group and Verdant Morlais Ltd (VML) have inked a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to deliver a 4.9 MW tidal stream energy project at Morlais in Wales.

The project will be located near the 10 MW project awarded to Inyanga in the UK Government’s contracts for difference (CfD) allocation round 5 in September 2023, using Inyanga’s patented HydroWing tidal stream technology

Marine Energy Wales has welcomed today’s announcement that four tidal stream projects based in Welsh waters, have been given the green light to provide electricity to the National Grid, as part of the latest round (allocation round 5) of the UK Government’s renewable auction. Over 22MW of tidal stream capacity has been contracted in Wales.
