A TIDAL energy project backed by Guernsey Electricity is receiving national media attention.

The Independent on Sunday carried a front-page story and double-page spread on the project, which will see the first commercial-scale tidal power turbine installed in Northern Ireland.

And the newspaper’s leader article heralded the development as ‘a watershed for clean energy’.  Guernsey Electricity is a minority shareholder in Marine Current Turbines, the UK company that is installing the equipment in the waters of Strangford Lough, south of Belfast.
