Episode description
In May of this year, the Orbital O2 tidal powered turbine was sailed out of Dundee, Scotland bound for its home off the coast of the Orkney Islands. Since then the 680-tonne 2MW turbine has been generating power from the fast-flowing tidal waters.
In this episode we’re speaking to Chris Milne from Orbita Marine Power to find out more about how the company got to this point and what their plans are for the future. We also discuss how Orbital used crowd-funded debt as part of its financing mix for the O2.
