The company plans to deploy a 1/4 scale Evopod device in Sanda Sound, South Kintyre.

Prior to the deployment, Oceanflow acquired a license from Marine Scotland, having dedicated   two years to surveys, consultations and environmental monitoring to obtain it.

The 35kW unit will have a turbine diameter of 4.5 metres, and will be connected to the grid via a subsea cable.

The deployment in Sanda Sound will provide a test site for understanding the long term performance of the device.
