Tidalux designs and operates the world's most sophisticated tidal power stations — harnessing nature's most predictable energy force to deliver premium baseload renewable electricity.
Unlike wind or solar, tidal energy is perfectly predictable 100 years into the future. Our hydrodynamic modelling translates tidal data into bankable generation profiles with extraordinary accuracy.
Tidalux horizontal-axis turbines are engineered from duplex stainless steel and composite blades — designed for 25-year immersed operation in the harshest estuarial environments.
Our turbines operate at blade tip speeds below the avoidance threshold of marine mammals and fish, making Tidalux stations among the most ecologically benign energy installations on Earth.
Tidalux was founded in 2014 by tidal hydrodynamicists and marine engineers who recognised that the world's tidal energy resource — 1,000 terawatt-hours per year — was almost entirely untapped.
Our stations are more than energy installations: they are precision instruments calibrated to the rhythms of the ocean, delivering power as reliably as the tides themselves.
ADCP current profiling, bathymetric survey, and hydrodynamic modelling to characterise tidal velocities and energy flux at your site.
CFD modelling of turbine array configurations to maximise energy yield while minimising wake interference and bathymetric impact.
Environmental impact assessment, benthic survey, and consultation with maritime regulators and stakeholders through to marine licence approval.
Turbine seabed foundation installation, underwater cable laying, and onshore grid connection managed by our specialist marine contractors.
Satellite-connected SCADA with real-time generation data, automated fault detection, and scheduled diver inspection programmes.
Tidal hydrodynamicists establish Tidalux with backing from a UK infrastructure fund, deploying the first prototype turbine in the Pentland Firth.
The Pentland Firth 16MW station delivers first power to the Scottish grid — the world's first commercially licensed tidal stream installation.
Tidalux passes 100MW of commissioned tidal capacity across four stations — a global milestone for the tidal energy industry.
The Bay of Fundy, with the world's highest tidal range, becomes Tidalux's first North American station — a 80MW landmark project.
18 tidal stations delivering 240MW of clean, predictable energy across the UK, Europe, and North America.
If your coastline experiences significant tidal flows, you may be sitting on one of the most valuable renewable energy resources on Earth. Our hydrodynamicists will assess your site's potential.
