Proteus Marine Renewables Installs Japan’s First 1.1MW Tidal Turbine! We have successfully deployed the AR1100 tidal turbine in Japan—making us the first tidal energy company to operate megawatt-scale devices in two countries! Installed in the Naru Strait, this turbine will generate 1.1MW of clean, predictable energy, accelerating the Goto Islands' decarbonisation and reinforcing Japan’s renewable energy transition. Building on our successful AR500 pilot in 2021 - where our 500kW turbine operated in the Naru Strait maintaining a 97% turbine availability - we signed an equipment supply and works contract with Kyuden Mirai Energy (KME) to upgrade it to 1.1MW. 🔹 Philip Archer, MD of Proteus Operations Japan, remarked: "Deploying the AR1100 in Japan is a testament to our team's dedication and expertise, working closely with local professionals. Our next focus is commissioning and accreditation of Japan’s first MW-scale grid-connected tidal system." 🔹 Drew Blaxland, our CEO added: "With operational turbines in both the UK and Japan, we are proving tidal energy’s scalability for coastal communities. As Japan transitions away from fossil fuels, reliable renewables like tidal energy will play a crucial role in securing a sustainable energy future." The deployment was carried out by local vessels and resources, under the supervision of the Proteus Offshore Services team, and was made possible through the expertise and collaboration of key partners in Japan. Kyuden Mirai Energy, with support from the Ministry of Environment, is playing a crucial role in advancing Japan’s transition to tidal energy. This is just the beginning. As we move forward with commissioning and accreditation, we’re proud to drive global tidal energy adoption and help shape a cleaner, more predictable energy future. 🔗 Read more: https://lnkd.in/euUX4J3N #TidalEnergy #RenewableEnergy #CleanPower #ProteusMarineRenewables #SustainableFuture #JapanEnergy #Decarbonisation #EnergyTransition Philip Archer Ryan Biggs Drew Blaxland

Making tidal a reality in Japan As the AR1100 turbine emerges from the assembly shed, we are reaching another key milestone in our mission to bring sustainable tidal power to the region!   In just under two months, our team will be ready to install and commission the AR1100 turbine in the Naru Straights, Japan.   Over the past year, we’ve been hard at work upgrading the turbine and equipping it with advanced features like our latest pitch and yaw systems. Once operational, our tidal turbine will produce 1.1MW of clean energy to power the local Goto Islands, supporting Japan’s commitment to renewable energy.   We're excited to see AR1100 take its place in the Naru Straights, demonstrating how tidal energy can contribute to building a cleaner, more resilient energy future for Japan. 🎄 And as the year comes to a close, we want to take a moment to thank all our partners, supporters, and everyone following our journey. Wishing you all a happy festive season and a wonderful start to the new year! #TidalEnergy #RenewableEnergy #Japan #CleanEnergy #Sustainability #GotoIslands #MarineEnergy Drew Blaxland Ryan Biggs Philip Archer

Design certificate for #Proteus AR1100 in Japan complete. Building on the success of our AR500 tidal project in Japan, we’re excited to share that Proteus has hit another important Phase 2 milestone on route to the installation of the #AR1100 turbine in early 2025. ClassNK, who are a certification bureau in Japan, have issued a Design Evaluation Conformity Certificate for our AR1100 system. This is an essential step in the upgrade from the AR500 to the AR1100, which features our latest pitch and yaw systems and is uprated to 1.1MW in order to dramatically boost yield. This brings us one step closer to making tidal power a reality in Japan, with turbine assembly nearing completion soon to allow installation and commissioning in early 2025. Once complete, this project will provide clean energy to the local Goto Islands, supporting Japan’s commitment to renewable energy. We’re proud to be working alongside our key partners—Kyuden Mirai Energy, the Ministry of Environment, Toyo Construction, Goto Transportation, and Shibuya Diving—who share our drive to bring sustainable energy to the region. "Whilst the Design Evaluation Conformity Certificate is just a piece of paper, it attests to the  immense drive, determination and talent of the team in completing the AR1100 design and the huge effort required by ClassNK in reviewing the encyclopedic documentation. Most importantly, it allows for the submission of the construction permit that is required to break ground and start the expansion works on the existing onshore powerhouse.  These works will be completed by the end of 2024 and shall be followed by the installation of the AR1100 turbine. It's a significant step toward establishing tidal power as an emerging renewable energy resource in Japan. The Proteus team is very excited by what the future holds", says Philip Archer, Head of Product Applications. ##TidalEnergy #RenewableEnergy #CleanEnergy #MarinePower #Sustainability #ProteusMarineRenewables #Japan #AR100 #GoToIslands #TidalPower #GreenTech

Since inception, our mission has been driven by one core principle: #Commitment.    Commitment to innovation, learning, and a sustainable future. Commitment to success, knowing that the road to success includes setbacks and challenges that we learn from, adapt and ultimately use that experience to hone our product for release at commercial volume.   During that tidal development phase our technology has already generated over 20GWh of clean energy in the UK, Japan and Australia, with a commitment to striving for maximum yield at reduced costs. This journey has led us to the AR3000 tidal turbine system, a true reflection of our unwavering dedication to redefining what's possible in commercial marine energy. When commissioned, the AR3000 will be the world’s largest tidal turbine, with just some of the key features being: 👉Reduced Cost: Smart clusters and single export cable designs reduce system infrastructure costs and further minimize environmental impact.  👉High Energy Yield: 3MW power rating with a 24m+ rotor, capturing maximum energy yield from tidal array sites.  👉Advanced Control: Intelligent algorithms that optimize performance, smooth power output, and minimise fatigue loading.  👉Fast Installation: Safe and efficient deployment or recovery in just 20 minutes, designed for six years subsea between planned maintenance events We can’t wait to see the AR3000 operating in the water.
