Operations & Maintenance

Sabella’s D10 tidal turbine assembly process is nearing completion in the port of Brest, France.

The assembly process began early in January 2015.

The turbine’s power capacity is rated up to 1 MW.

The base of Sabella’s D10 tidal device is 20 by 20 meters in size. It is 17 m high, and weighs 450 tons. The turbine for the device is 10 m in diameter.

According to Sabella, D10 tidal turbine will be inaugurated in April, followed by the installation of the turbine in Fromveur Passage scheduled for June.

Once the installation is completed, the turbine will be connected to the Ushant island using MacArtney’s GreenLink connectivity solution.
