The Tidal Stream Industry Energiser Project (TIGER)

Banniere-TIGER

On Paimpol-Brehat test site, the Tiger Project will demonstrate that tidal stream energy is a maturing industry, capable of achieving an accelerated cost reduction pathway.

The project will build cross-border partnerships to:

–  develop new technologies,

– test and demonstrate up to 8 MW of new tidal capacity at a number of locations around the Channel region,

– use the learning from this development to make a stronger, cost-effective case for tidal energy as part of the France/UK energy mix.

The project is the largest ever to be approved not only by the France (Channel) England Programme but by any Interreg programme.
