Nova Tidal Turbines
Nova Innovation’s 100 kW tidal turbine is designed for a wide range of site conditions, delivering industry-leading performance, reliability, and exceptional electricity production. Our proven technology can be installed in seas (deep water and shallow water), estuaries and large rivers.
Nova’s world-leading technology has been powering the Shetland grid for over five years.
Our turbines supply electricity to homes and businesses on-grid and off-grid with no visual impact, no navigational hazard and a predictability that is accurate to the minute - days, months, and even years in advance.
Nova's highly experienced team has an exceptional track record for delivery.
Our modular, scalable, rapid deployment tidal systems are ideal for maritime markets around the world. Our turbines can be installed as individual devices or as multiples in arrays to create multi-MW scale capacity.
