ABOUT THE PROJECT
Nova Innovation is developing a 500kW tidal energy project in the seas surrounding Ynys Enlli (Bardsey Island).
​
We are working with the local community to tap into this source of clean and renewable energy in a sustainable way. As well as supplying electricity to the mainland on the LlÅ·n Peninsula, the project could help to create a blue energy island powered by the sea.
​
We are in discussions with the Bardsey Island Trust and island residents about the potential to take power generated by our turbines to Enlli. This could enable a thriving community to live and work on the island all year round.
​
The Ynys Enlli tidal energy project will involve placing five of our 100kW tidal turbines between Enlli and the mainland. The turbines would be installed in phases, starting with a single turbine, with environmental monitoring at every stage.
