EnFAIT

About: In this flagship project, the EnFAIT (Enabling Future Arrays in Tidal) Team, a partnership of leading European companies, will demonstrate a grid-connected tidal energy array that: demonstrates a step change in the lifetime cost of energy for tidal power; proves that high array reliability & availability can be achieved with best practice maintenance regimes; captures and disseminates substantial learning on fundamental issues for the ocean energy industry; builds investor confidence; takes a huge step towards creating a commercial, bankable tidal energy sector; and at 6 turbines, will be the largest number of devices ever deployed in an ocean energy array.
