In an announcement Tuesday, Orbital Marine Power said the award of the multi-million-pound contract marked the start of "major construction" on the Orbital O2 tidal stream turbine. The TEXO Group will undertake the work at its quayside facilities in the city of Dundee, Orbital said. The development of the Orbital O2 turbine, which can produce more than 2 MW from tidal stream resources, follows on from the 2016 launch of Orbital's 2 MW SR2000 turbine.
Andrew Scott, the CEO of Orbital, described the O2 as a "flagship engineering project for the emerging tidal sector."
