Tidal Energy Solutions for Business
Sustainable renewable energy from moving water
Tidal energy stands as a powerful and predictable solution in the quest for sustainable power. Harnessing the dependable ebb and flow of our ocean's tides, this renewable energy source offers a consistent and reliable alternative to intermittent renewables like solar and wind.
At The Energy Group, we are at the forefront of engaging innovative renewable energy technologies for our clients. Tidal energy is designed to unlock the unrivalled potential of our oceans.
With the predictable nature of tides, our tidal energy solutions provide a stable and continuous power supply, crucial for grid stability and energy independence.
Integrate clean energy to your operation
Advanced systems capture the kinetic energy of tidal currents, converting it into clean electricity with minimal environmental impact.
Beyond selecting cutting-edge tidal energy technology, The Energy Group also serves as a trusted consultant, empowering businesses to strategically integrate tidal power into their operations and energy portfolios.
We understand that navigating the complexities of renewable energy adoption requires specialised knowledge, experience and tailored strategies. Our team of experts provides comprehensive consulting services, guiding businesses through every stage of their tidal energy journey.
End-to-end tidal energy guidance
From initial site assessments and feasibility studies to technology selection, project development and regulatory compliance, we offer end-to-end renewable energy support. We help businesses identify optimal locations with strong tidal currents, assess the potential for energy generation and design custom tidal power solutions that align with their specific energy needs and sustainability goals.
Our tidal energy solutions are designed for scalability and can be deployed in various water environments, making them adaptable for diverse businesses.
By partnering with The Energy Group, businesses can leverage our understanding of tidal energy dynamics and our proven technological expertise to de-risk their investment in renewable energy.
We assist in navigating permitting processes, optimising installation and maintenance strategies and even exploring opportunities for excess energy sales back to the grid.
In a world increasingly focused on reducing carbon footprints and achieving energy independence, tidal energy offers a compelling solution that can work alongside other renewables, and The Energy Group, is your expert partner in making it work for you.
Tidal energy: an excellent complement to other renewable sources
Tidal Energy for predictable and consistent output: Unlike solar, which is limited by daylight hours and cloud cover, or wind, which is dependent on wind speeds, tidal energy is highly predictable. This consistency provides a reliable baseline power source, filling the gaps left by more intermittent renewables.
Enhanced grid stability: The predictable nature of tidal energy allows for more accurate forecasting of electricity generation, making it easier for grid operators to balance supply and demand. This reduces the need to compensate for fluctuations in other renewable sources, leading to a more stable and efficient energy system.
Reduced reliance on storage: While energy storage solutions are crucial for a fully renewable grid, the predictability of tidal energy can help reduce the overall reliance on large-scale battery storage. Tidal power can provide a steady flow of electricity when other renewables are not producing, thus lowering the demand for stored energy.
Long lifespan and low maintenance: Tidal energy infrastructure, particularly structures like barrages, can have a very long operational lifespan (often over 100 years). Tidal stream turbines, while newer, are also designed for durability in harsh marine environments, potentially leading to lower long-term maintenance costs once installed.
