This looks good. I don’t think this would be happening without confidence in
the granting of Uskmouth planning.

There is also a second announcement this morning relating to tidal development
in Japan the text of which is below....
It will be interesting to watch the share price today....I hope it will
vindicate our decision to buy a few more.....
Atlantis supplied, Scottish manufactured tidal generation equipment arrives in
Nagasaki, Japan ahead of deployment in the Naru Strait
Atlantis is pleased to announce an important update in delivering Scottish made
tidal generation equipment to Japan. The Atlantis designed and built tidal
generation system has arrived in Nagasaki harbour, Japan having left Scotland
in October. It will now be transported in January 2021 by support vessels to
the designated deployment site in the Naru Strait, located between the islands
of Naru and Hisaka in the Goto Island chain.
We are pleased and honoured to be working alongside our strategic partner,
supported by a consortium of local and international stakeholders, to bring
tidal stream energy to Japan. The AR500 tidal generation system will be
deployed at the Naru Strait site initially operating at a capped maximum
generation output of 500kW, as data collection (performance and environmental)
and device validation are undertaken for the client and Japanese regulatory
bodies.
Drew Blaxland, Director of ATES Division, commented:
"Given the obvious challenges COVID presented during the turbine building
program in Scotland this year and the logistical challenges presented during
transit more recently, we have still managed to deliver a turbine quayside in
Japan before Christmas. To see this AR500 machine arrive in Japan, a first of
its kind here, is a great achievement. Our focus now is in getting the power
export cable, foundation and turbine nacelle installed safely, then we all look
forward to this Scottish built turbine delivering predictable, sustainable
renewable energy for Japan post commissioning."
