Tocardo, as a part of the tripartite cooperation with QED Naval and HydroWing, offers power generating solutions.

Tocardo is a specialist in tidal power based generation solutions; the company is the inventor and the manufacturer of the most widely used hydro flow turbines and has established the world’s largest commercial tidal installation with five turbines in array so far. 

Tocardo has an unbeaten track record of continuous tidal power production.




Power Generating Solutions

Tocardo BV

The technology needed to generate clean, predictable and affordable electricity using the ebb and flow of tides is rapidly developing, and there is growing worldwide interest in this emerging renewable energy sector. The UK is at the forefront of developments in tidal energy, and Nova Innovation is a leading industry player headquartered in Edinburgh. We design, build and operate tidal energy devices, and we develop sites for arrays of tidal turbines. We are passionate about having a cleaner environment and reducing the need for fossil fuels, for current and future generations. And we are committed to engage with and source from local supply chains: we believe that the resources and expertise of coastal communities will make a major contribution to the success of tidal power.

Transforming the power of our seas into clean predictable energy

Nova Innovation Ltd

Oceana Energy is a hardcore technology company that is all about bold thinking and innovation. We build marine turbines that generate electricity that people can afford. With our turbines, tidal energy developers can collect energy from Earth`s oceans and rivers, make a profit, and do it without the need for government subsidies. Instead of modifying atmospheric windmills to operate underwater, Oceana imagined a completely different architecture for collecting marine energy. To begin the design of our turbine, Oceana and U.S. Navy engineers modeled the shape of the outer surfaces of that architecture to collect the most energy from a given column of water. Once they achieved the optimum shape, they set about building the device using new materials and adjacent technologies. They tested prototypes until they had it: a unique, elegant, and robust marine turbine that will withstand harsh seas to generate affordable electricity for people all around the globe.

We are navigating the world’s transition to affordable, clean energy.

HydroQuest is a leading turbine technology provider & independent producer of renewable energy. We use the natural, constant & predictable water flows from canals, rivers & oceans to deliver the cleanest electricity to the world. Started in 2010, HydroQuest is the first hydro turbine builder to connect a river current turbine to the French national grid. In 2016, the company engaged into the marine energy world and successfully deployed its first 1MW marine turbine in 2019 in France.

Kepler Energy was established in 2010 to exploit, with an exclusive license, an internationally patented 2nd generation tidal turbine developed from 2007 to 2010 by three senior academics at the University of Oxford Department of Engineering Science. Initial work focused upon establishing the performance characteristics of the rotor at 1:20 prototype scale, financed initially by the University, and then, for a second time, with more detailed instrumentation for stress and other measurements, financed by the Technology Strategy Board and by the company's shareholders. Subsequent work has involved developing designs for full-scale turbines, combined into tidal fences, undertaken with supply chain partners who are each leaders in the offshore and tidal energy arenas. Kepler has no direct economic competitors in providing access to tidal stream resource where first generation turbines are not economic, and represents the first disruptive technology to positively impact on the economics of power production from this predictable source of sustainable energy. This is because the Kepler turbine is very different to all others on the market - it is larger, scaleable, intrinsically more powerful and patented. It has been optimised to open up new resources in low tidal stream velocity flows (below 2.5 m/s), the most commonly found current strength in coastal waters across the globe. The rotor is deployed in standardised units within a tidal fence arrangement, with the key advantage of generating revenue incrementally during the construction phase, to provide certainty in realising expected equity returns.

Atlantis is a pioneer in the marine power sector. Over the past 5 years, we have elevated tidal power generation from R&D status to commercial reality through the application of strict financial discipline and engineering rigour. Atlantis aspires to catalyse the wide scale adoption of marine power as a viable asset class through the installation of the first 100MW array where we must ensure on time, on budget turn-key delivery to the client.
