A vision Jason Hayman, Managing Director of SME, says, “We have reached a huge milestone in the development of our solution to address the costs associated with delivering tidal energy. Over a short period of time we have achieved a great deal thanks to our capable and passionate team. After this weekend’s operations I am confident that PLAT‐O provides the industry with a new approach which reduces the costs and risks associated with delivering tidal energy considerably. Over the next few months we will be ramping up the time that PLAT‐O spends at site, and running a series of tests which will culminate in the installation of PLAT‐O at a more aggressive tidal site and generating power to the grid.” Marine operations David Thomson, Managing Director of Orcades Marine Management Consultants, who manages the delivery marine operations for SME, adds, “The progress that the team at SME have made culminating with the recent trial installation of PLAT‐O should be regarded as a terrific achievement. I have been involved in many tidal installation operations and I have seen first‐hand the challenges facing the tidal industry in relation to the cost of operations. It is clear to me that PLAT‐O has the opportunity to succeed and provides a viable solution for the tidal energy industry.”
