Chief Executive Officer
CurrentNova is an award-winning global leader in tidal energy. We design, build and operate tidal turbines that generate electricity from the natural ebb and flow of the tide. Our underwater turbines have zero visual impact and work in harmony with the marine environment, with no barriers or barrages.In 2016, we installed the world’s first offshore tidal array – three turbines located in the Shetland Islands, Scotland. Our turbines have been generating clean electricity and exporting to the grid for over three years.In 2018, we worked with Tesla to add energy storage to our tidal technology. This created the world’s first baseload tidal power station with the ability to deliver constant, steady-state power to the grid and deliver energy on demand to meet consumer needs.Nova is currently expanding operations in North America and across Europe.Awards2016: won the prestigious Judges Award at the Green Energy Awards2017: won a Shell Springboard award for low-carbon innovation 2018: won the European Commission’s European SME of the year 2018: won ‘Outstanding Project’ at the Green Energy Awards
