Verdant Power getting close to 300MWh of tidal power fed to U.S. grid

Verdant Power’s grid-connected tidal power demonstration project in New York City has exceeded performance projections by every measure as it reaches the record for the most marine renewable energy produced in the United States.

The three turbines on a novel mounting system have exceeded energy output by 40%, generating over 275MWh in eight months of continuous operation – a record for marine renewable energy production in the United States, the company claims.
