Alstom Ocean – Achievements and Roadmap Undergoing test of 1 MW tidal turbine at

Alstom Ocean – Achievements and Roadmap Undergoing test of 1 MW tidal turbine at European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) More than 100 MWh exported to the grid in October 2013 Our roadmap: Develop a competitive and reliable product portfolio in order to address the high market potential (50 to 100 GW worldwide). Support the next crucial development steps in order to arrive in full commercialization and industrial production in 2017/2018 September 2010 500 k. W prototype deployed and connected to the grid January 2013 1 MW turbine deployed and connected to the grid for two years tests 2015 -2016 ? ? ? Pilot arrays deployments 2017 Start serial production
