Normandie Hydroliennes is pleased to announce that its NH1 tidal project has been selected as a winner of the European Union’s 2023 Innovation Fund.
With this distinction, they will benefit from €31.3 million in funding to accelerate the development and deployment of their innovative system. This marks an important milestone for marine tidal energy in France.
This funding will support the deployment of one of the country’s first commercial-scale tidal energy pilot projects, reinforcing the role of tidal energy in the transition to clean energy.
Katia Gautier, Director of Normandie Hydroliennes, commented: “Being selected by the Innovation Fund is a major recognition of our work and the impact that our technological system, the innovative Proteus AR3000 horizontal axis turbine, can have on decarbonisation and the energy mix.”
