Entech announces that it has received an order from Engie Laborelec for a battery storage system to be installed at the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) on the island of Eday, in the Orkney archipelago to the north of Scotland.

This storage system will demonstrate the technological and economic viability of combining storage and tidal energy, with a view to larger-scale deployment across Europe.

Tidal energy, which harnesses the energy of ocean currents, is one of the marine renewable energies (MRE). The objectives of the European Green Pact call for a 25-fold increase in current MRE production capacity by 2050.
