Motion text
That this House notes the world’s first testing facility for tidal turbine blades has opened in Rosyth; further notes that in less than three months the FastBlade facility will be able to simulate the stresses placed on a turbine blade over two decades of use; recognises this will allow for the design of turbine blades to be significantly enhanced by making them more durable and efficient; anticipates this development will accelerate advances in tidal energy technology and Scotland’s journey to net zero; and praises staff from the University of Edinburgh, Babcock, and other organisations involved in this initiative.
