Minesto’s utility-scale tidal powerplant Dragon 12 has been successfully commissioned, and it delivered its first electricity to the national grid in the Faroe Islands.

Wish the article took a moment to explain how it worked.
Same. I thought this page has a decent explanation.
I see, it’s basically an underwater airplane with a turbine attached. Fascinating.
There is so much power potential in the ocean. It’s nice to see it being used.
1.2MW for a single device seems, pretty substantially. Quite excited. I wonder if it is applicable to somwhere like the Severn Estuary with strong tidal currents that reverse.
